BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic injections temporarily smooth facial lines by targeting muscle activity that causes wrinkles. Our licensed providers administer precise treatments for crow's feet and frown lines, with visible results appearing in 3-10 days. The purified protein formula offers 3-5 months of rejuvenated appearance. Allergan Diamond Provider status ensures premium product quality and expert application techniques.
CoolSculpting
Non-surgical fat reduction using controlled cooling technology to eliminate stubborn fat cells. Ideal for patients near target weight seeking to sculpt specific areas like abdomen, thighs, and chin. FDA-cleared treatments deliver permanent results through natural cell elimination processes. Multiple applicators available for simultaneous treatment of different body zones.
Laser Hair Removal
Permanent hair reduction using advanced laser technology to target melanin in hair follicles. Customizable treatments for all skin types address facial and body hair concerns. Multiple sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart typically required for optimal results. Provides smoother skin texture alongside hair reduction benefits.
Facial Rejuvenation
Comprehensive facial treatments combining microneedling, chemical peels, and laser therapies to address aging signs. Stimulates collagen production and skin cell turnover for improved texture and tone. Customizable intensity levels accommodate different skin types and concerns, from acne scars to sun damage.
Injectables
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles through strategic injections. Products like Juvederm and Restylane address lip augmentation, cheek enhancement, and nasolabial fold correction. Treatments take 10-20 minutes with immediate visible results that continue improving over subsequent weeks.

I love the Pittsburgh office and everyone who works there. Dreya does my Botox, my post op, (along with dr hiel) my filler and whatever else I need. She's the only person I've met who says no you don't need that but we CAN do this, or "this would work on you and look amazing" and who makes sure I'm always taken care of and beautiful. She's amazing at everything she does, she's super honest, and cares about her work and clients. Kathy at the front desk, and Renee in the office are always so welcoming and trying their best to accommodate my schedule and appointments. Dr hiel did my surgery and he was so caring and thorough, I'm absolutely happy with my results.

All the staff is caring and friendly. Can't say enough about Dr Heil and his team. During my consultation he took his time and explained everything from beginning to end step by step. From the procedure to all the follow up appointments everyone has been great.

Bonnie is the BEST. She performed BBL on my chest and she knows exactly what she is doing. Have been going to her for years and wouldn't consider anyone else.
