It’s technically part of the filler family at Parson Skin Center, but it also works completely different than most fillers.

However, Sculptra is actually a form of collagen stimulation which means results are incredibly natural-looking. Sculptra is...

There is a lot more to consider than just the size (ccs) of implants. Today’s breast augmentation procedure is highly customizable.

Many people come to Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center rightfully thinking that a facelift lifts, well, the entire face. The name is a bit of a misnomer. A facelift actually only addresses sagging skin on the lower half of the face and the neck. That’s right—a neck lift is part of a facelift, but lifting the upper part of the face is not. However, you can add an eyelid lift to a...

For example, microneedling and HydraFacial is the perfect couple, complementing one another so you get the most of each treatment.
