Fat Reduction
BTL Vanquish ME and Kybella treatments target stubborn fat with non-invasive technology. Radiofrequency energy and deoxycholic acid destroy fat cells, offering sculpting for abdomen, thighs, and chin. Ideal for patients seeking alternatives to liposuction, these treatments require no downtime while delivering measurable circumference reduction through customized protocols.
Acne Treatment
Customized peels, microdermabrasion, and laser therapies address acne and scarring. Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel technologies improve texture while medical-grade skincare prevents future breakouts. Aesthetician-led facials and extractions complement hormonal and lifestyle-related acne management for adolescents and adults seeking clearer, healthier skin.
Laser Hair Removal
Candela GentleMax systems use alexandrite laser technology for long-term hair elimination. Certified technicians deliver treatments in 4-6 week intervals, achieving 80-90% reduction. The process targets melanin in hair follicles, with cooling mechanisms minimizing discomfort for patients seeking smooth skin without shaving or waxing maintenance.
Skin Tightening
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten lax skin on face and body. This FDA-cleared treatment remodels collagen and elastin, addressing jowls, wrinkles, and textural irregularities. Patients experience firmer skin with minimal downtime, making it a popular solution for facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
Women's Wellness
FormaV and Morpheus8 treatments address urinary incontinence and intimate wellness concerns. Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation improves elasticity and lubrication while resolving stress incontinence. These procedures offer discreet solutions for postpartum and menopausal women seeking improved quality of life without hormonal therapies or invasive surgery.

Really had a good experience. The staff are friendly and the treatments are improving my skin. I do wish the chair/table was either flat and padded like a typical medical exam table or they would consider getting new tables that are more ergonomic. The current setup is very hard on the neck and spine and causes lingering discomfort the next few days. I am only 57 years old with no neck or back problems.

Medical mistakes happen every day with more dire consequences than my experience at CCD. The key to a good doctor is how they handle the follow up after a medical mistake, and I am writing this review so everyone knows that CCD will not own their mistakes, does not provide accurate information to the patient about the error, does not stand behind their work, does not fix the problem, blames things on the patient, and refuses to provide follow up care.
The medical mistake that occurred at CCD could have resulted in me losing my foot, as it stands I am left with a horrible disfiguring scar in a very visible area that they have refused to treat further. Don't let the fancy appearance fool you, these doctors are ill prepared to handle anything more complicated than botox injections and the management will not step in either.

I met with Lana, one of the estheticians. She was very honest, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk with. The staff was very professional and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you've been putting off looking into cosmetic procedures. don't. Go see them for a free consultation, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain!

This is the only place I trust for Botox. I always request Dr. McCullum for the last few years, I wouldn't trust going to any other place for a cheaper price. Jennifer K. did an amazing job explaining a future skincare routine for me and today I received a chemical peel. They both are so kind and very professional. The front staff is very nice and accomodating as well. If I could give 10 stars here I would! You can see they really care about their clients and their facility.

The care, experience and overall great ppl who work here is simply incredible. Over the last few months they have simply changed my life. Nothing worked for my skin for the last 15 years but they "fixed" me : So happy I found you guys.
