Aesthetic Treatments

  • Refresh your skin and restore a natural, youthful glow with our non-surgical facial rejuvenation options: ClearLift and DYE-VL. ClearLift is a gentle, non-ablative laser that stimulates collagen production for firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime. DYE-VL targets vascular and pigmented lesions to reduce redness, sunspots, and uneven tone for a clearer complexion. Together, these treatments provide a customizable, integrative approach to reduce signs of aging and reveal healthier-looking skin while fitting into your lifestyle.

  • Super Hair Removal (SHR) at IFM offers a gentler, faster alternative to traditional laser hair removal by combining repeated low-fluence pulses with high repetition rates and advanced cooling. Instead of delivering one high-intensity blast, SHR heats the hair follicles gradually to a level that disables regrowth while keeping surrounding skin comfortable and protected. This approach reduces pain, lowers risk of burns or pigment changes, and works effectively on a wider range of skin tones and finer hair types.

    Treatments are typically quicker with less downtime, making SHR a practical choice for larger areas and for patients seeking a more comfortable, inclusive hair-reduction option.

  • We offer a targeted toenail fungus treatment using the Alma Clearlift laser to safely and effectively reduce fungal growth and improve nail appearance. The Clearlift delivers precise, controlled laser energy that penetrates the nail to target fungal organisms with minimal discomfort and no topical chemicals. Treatments are quick, performed in-office with no downtime, and tailored to each patient’s nail thickness and severity.

    Most patients require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results, and our clinicians combine the laser protocol with individualized aftercare guidance to support long-term nail health.

  • Our CO2 laser wart removal offers a precise, virtually painless option to eliminate warts quickly and safely. Using a focused carbon dioxide laser, we target wart tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding skin, promoting faster healing and reduced scarring.

    Treatments are performed by experienced clinicians in a calm, professional setting; most patients report little to no discomfort thanks to topical numbing and the laser’s precision. Expect a brief in-office procedure, clear aftercare instructions, and follow-up to ensure optimal results. Book a consultation to determine if CO2 laser removal is the right choice for your warts.

  • Our tattoo removal laser service offers safe, effective fading and elimination of unwanted tattoos using advanced laser technology tailored to your skin type and ink colors. Delivered by experienced clinicians in a comfortable, medically supervised setting, the treatment plan is personalized—covering consultation, expected number of sessions, pain management options, and aftercare guidance.

    Whether removing a small, faded piece or preparing skin for a cover-up, we prioritize predictable results, skin health, and minimal downtime to help you achieve a clean, refreshed appearance.

  • PRP Microneedling combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to promote natural skin renewal. Tiny controlled micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production while PRP delivers concentrated growth factors to accelerate healing and enhance results. The treatment targets fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall skin tone with minimal downtime and a personalized approach. Performed in a comfortable clinical setting, PRP Microneedling at IFM is tailored to your skin goals and overall health for lasting, natural-looking improvement.

  • I can't say enough great things about this clinic. Every time I walk in, I feel truly heard and supported. The providers take the time to understand me—my concerns, my goals—and make sure my care feels personalized, not like it's coming from a one-size-fits-all textbook. It's so refreshing to feel like a partner in my healthcare, not just a patient.

    Google Review

  • I switched over to IFM about a year ago and I have not regretted it! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, from the front desk staff and nurses to the providers. When you meet with your provider they actually listen to your concerns and don't try to just "bandaid" the issue... It is such a breath of fresh air to feel like someone actually cares about the symptoms you are experiencing instead of just trying to hurry up and get you out of their office like you are just a number.
