Services
Fat Reduction
BTL Vanquish ME and Kybella treatments target stubborn fat pockets through non-invasive methods. Radiofrequency energy disrupts fat cells while maintaining skin integrity. Patients achieve measurable circumference reduction in abdomen, thighs, and chin areas without surgery or downtime. Multiple sessions optimize results lasting years with proper lifestyle maintenance.
Leg Vein Treatments
Sclerotherapy injections collapse spider veins using FDA-approved solutions. Laser technology targets deeper vascular issues while preserving surrounding tissue. Multiple sessions spaced weeks apart yield optimal clearance. Patients resume normal activities immediately with visible improvement in vascular lesion appearance.
Acne Treatment
Customized chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and Fraxel laser treatments exfoliate dead skin cells. These procedures unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. Combined with medical-grade skincare regimens, patients experience fewer breakouts and improved skin texture through consistent treatment cycles.
Laser Hair Removal
Alexandrite laser technology targets melanin in hair follicles across multiple skin tones. Series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction. Cooling mechanisms minimize discomfort during sessions treating large areas like backs, legs, and facial regions.
Skin Tightening
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel skin structure. This dual-action approach tightens lax skin on face and body while improving texture irregularities. Three to four sessions produce progressive results addressing jowls, wrinkles, and skin laxity with minimal recovery time.

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.
