Brighten your complexion

IPL stands for intense pulsed light, a cosmetic procedure which uses the power of light to address multiple types of skin discoloration including brown and red blemishes to clarify your complexion, creating a more youthful appearance.

Sublative Laser Skin Resurfacing

Rewind the Clock

Sublative Skin Resurfacing offers patients of all skin types a safe and effective solution for taking years off one’s appearance by gently removing the top layers of damaged skin while stimulating collagen production. This procedure utilizes fractionated radiofrequency (heat) to deliver a powerful and quick complexion “reset” following a history of acne, scarring, and aging skin. It may be combined with other therapies such as PRP Skin Rejuvenation and IPL Photorejuvenation for more pronounced, quicker results.

This is a needle-free procedure with quick results and little down-time. Typically performed as a series of 3-6 treatments. Schedule now to set up your skin care consultation

SUBLATIVE

How do I get started with cosmetic laser procedures at FoRM?

We recommend anyone interested in a laser treatment schedule a 15 minute consultation with our aesthetician before their first treatment. This allows us to determine personalized treatment recommendations & expectations, review contraindications and risks.

How does Sublative (Laser) Skin Resurfacing work?

Sublative Skin Resurfacing uses fractional radiofrequency, a heating technique, which gently ablates (removes) the top layers of skin while penetrating deeper into the skin to stimulate new collagen production. The increased collagen and regeneration of healthy skin cells results in a smoother, more even and brighter complexion.

Is Sublative right for me?

It is a “needle-free”, non-invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance and health of the skin’s surface, providing almost immediate results. It is most appropriate for those looking to address mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial imperfections of your skin’s tone and texture. This treatment is a safe and effective solution for most skin types. To optimize anti-aging effects, it may be combined with IPL Photorejuvenation and PRP Skin Rejuvenation- please inquire about combined treatments during your consultation.

When can I expect to see results?

Typically 5-7 days after treatment, as the skin recovers from the treatment. Each treatment has an additive effect, so to optimize results, 3 monthly treatments are recommended. The total number of required treatment sessions depends on your skin’s condition.

Does it hurt?

During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation as energy enters their skin. Most treatments last 30 min. Topical anesthetic ointments and cooling are used to reduce unpleasant feelings during treatment. The face will feel hot at the end of the treatment. This may persist for a couple hours after treatment.

What can I expect after the treatment?

Immediately following treatment, it is common to have a light (pink) “sunburn” appearance for 24-48 hours. As the “sunburn” appearance fades, your skin will have a mild grid-like pattern (from the matrix) typically for 7-10 days following treatment. The “grid” then sloughs off, revealing healthier, more rejuvenated skin. This is a no-downtime procedure and can wear mineral based make-up 24 hours following the procedure. Many patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

What is the cost of treatment?

Treatments cost $600. Packages of 3 are discounted by 10%, packages of 6 are discounted by 20%.

IPL PHOTOFACIAL

How does IPL Photorejuvenation work?

This treatment combines bi-polar radio frequency (heat) and light therapy to precisely and safely fade pigmented lesions such as freckles, sun & age spots, and acne. Vascular lesions such as spider veins and redness from rosacea are also lightened and gradually fade.

Is an IPL Photofacial right for me?

This treatment is most appropriate for those looking to reduce the appearance of darkened lesions and small blood vessels on the surface of the skin. It can also help reduce the appearance of active acne and hyper-pigmentation from past acne lesions. It may not be appropriate for those with very dark complexions or recently tanned skin. To optimize anti-aging effects, it can be combined with Sublative Skin Resurfacing and PRP Skin Rejuvenation. Please inquire about combined treatments during a complimentary consult.

When can I expect to see results?

Initial results are visible typically 1 week following treatment. Gradual and cumulative improvement of complexion is typically achieved over the course of 3-6 treatment sessions, as the lesions continue to fade with each treatment, and in many cases, completely disappear. The total number of required treatment sessions depends on your skin’s condition. Schedule a consultation to establish your personalized treatment schedule.

Does it hurt?

Most clients experience little to no discomfort. Once the treatment is complete, there is no lingering discomfort. In addition, our E-los device monitors the skin’s temperature during treatment to ensure safety and improve comfort during treatment. This is a no-downtime procedure. Many patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Is there down-time?

This is a no downtime procedure. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. For a period of 5-7 days after treatment, targeted lesions may appear darker before sloughing off. During this time, mineral-based make-up can be used to cover darkened lesions.

What is the cost of the treatment?

Costs range between $150 for spot treatment (a 15 minute appointment or 5 or fewer targeted spots) and $300 for full face or body part (30 min appointment). Packages of 3 are discounted by 10%, packages of 6 are discounted by 20%.

MOTIF LASER HAIR REMOVAL

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

Hair follicles are precisely targeted and destroyed using a combination of bi-polar radio frequency and light energies.

Is Laser Hair Removal right for me?

Both men and women can achieve permanent hair reduction on almost any body area. We use an E-los laser which is proven to be effective for removing lighter colored hair on most skin types. To achieve a successful outcome on lighter hair, more treatments may be needed compared to darker hair.

When can I expect to see results?

Hair growth is reduced after the first treatment and increasingly so with each subsequent treatment. The number of treatments required will be based on your hair color, hair type, body area and skin type.

Does it hurt?

Most clients experience little to no discomfort. Once the treatment is complete, there is no lingering discomfort. In addition, our E-los laser constantly measures the skin’s resistance to ensure safety and improve comfort during treatment. This is a no-downtime procedure. Many patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

What is the cost of the treatment?

Pricing ranges from $150/ treatment for a small region ie underarms or upper lip (15 minute appointment), $200 for a medium area ie bikini or lower leg (30 min appointment), and $300 for large or multiple areas (45-60 min appt). Beyond one hour, each additional 15 minutes of treatment costs $100. Packages of 3 are discounted by 10%, packages of 6 are discounted by 20%.

We Love Our Patients

“I have loved participating in the Skin Rehab Program! I received 3 treatments per month customized to meet my skin care needs and goals.  With consistent treatments and home care, my skin is smoother, much more even skin tone (fewer dark spots and redness), firmer, and glows.  It just looks so much healthier!  I’m so happy with the results!”

–Look Better Member

“I am fairly new to acupuncture and dry needling and I cannot tell you how lucky I feel to have found THE Trusted Authority when it comes to these modalities. The experience at FoRM has been consistently amazing from beginning to end. I have not been able to stop sharing my experience and the benefits of going to see Dr. Minarik and his team with everybody that I know. They truly listen, are incredibly knowledgeable, candid and they set you up for longtime success/relief.”

–Sports Acupuncture Patient

Over the years, I have had many massages but Aric Naber is the best. He is well versed in muscular structure, intuitive as to how to address any issues and is well respected by athletes that have gone to him for either maintenance or to work through an injury. He is attentive to your concerns and trouble areas and excellent at communicating what he is addressing and why. I would highly recommend him.

–Therapeutic massage client

So thankful for (Dr.) Paul Molina, his help every week has helped keep me together as a professional athlete. Very professional and overall a great person and friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

–Professional Athlete

“Mary Jane is incredible. I arrive to the massage in pain and leave in a healed state, both physically and mentally. She is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I would go daily if that were possible. Thank you Mary Jane!”

–Massage therapy patient

Dr Kai Herman and her staff are amazing!  I have been under Dr Herman’s naturopathic care for years. I fully trust Dr Herman with my medical needs and when I heard she was doing PRP facials, I knew I could also trust her with my face/skin care needs. The procedure itself was seamless and done in a comfortable, relaxed setting.  The downtime was minimal.  The results were impressive.  I noticed tighter, firmer skin and an improved complexion.  This will definitely be part of my anti-aging skin care routine!

–PRP Skin Rejuvenation Patient

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine used to be a place I would turn when my primary care provider was unable to address my concerns. After seeing Natasha, I now think of her first.

 

–Natasha’s patient

“Hilary is very thoughtful and a great listener when providing a customized solution. I was new to acupuncture and she was patient and communicative. She really cares for her patients. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

–Acupuncture Patient

“Dr. Herman thoughtfully and thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and recommended testing and treatments my PCP has never mentioned. I look forward to continuing my care with her.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Minarik is incredibly knowledgable. He’s been helping me for the last year and he’s top notch. I’ve been impressed with his understanding of both eastern and western treatment options.”

–Dry Needling & PRP Injections Patient

“Dr. Minarik is very skilled and knowledgeable about prp and prolotherapy. He is very thorough and precise in his treatments. He has a very good bedside manner with patients and explains his findings and treatments very thoroughly.”

–Orthobiologic Injections Patient

“Dr. Herman is amazing! I completed 2 laser resurfacing treatments and am loving the results. Many friends and family members have commented on how great my skin looks! Thanks, Dr. Herman!”

Many of us think that stretching alone will help solve the tight hip flexor problem. Not true!

Imagine overcoming the pain and limitations of a c Imagine overcoming the pain and limitations of a chronic injury or arthritis without surgery! 🤨
Well, it’s totally possible! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

One of our patients recently shared his success 💪 with our Move Better services - in his case, he received a mix of Chiropractic care and Regenerative Injection therapy with PRP and prolotherapy- which helped him overcome a stubborn shoulder injury.
His result? He’s getting back to the activities he loved the most and he canceled his planned surgery 🙏🏻 

Surgery is not always the best path forward. If it’s the only option presented to you, get another opinion.
Schedule a consultation or new patient visit with Dr. Ryan or Dr. Paul for a thorough review evaluation and a (potential) path forward without surgery.

Have you been told you need surgery for an injury? Have you been told you need surgery for an injury? 
Before going under the knife, schedule with Dr. Ryan for a 2nd opinion. It’s not that we’re in the business of undermining surgeons (most orthopedic surgeons are extremely well-trained and skilled in musculoskeletal surgeries), we just view injuries through a slightly different lens and are trained in non-surgical orthopedic solutions!

Dr. Ryan starts his evaluation with a bedside ultrasound exam of the injured area- a painless, inexpensive and non-invasive way to image the affected area. From there, he can either confirm that the best path forward is surgery OR give you options for a non-surgical approach.
We’ve helped patients overcome their injuries and get back to the activities they love the most without needing the surgery.

Schedule a new patient visit with Dr. Ryan if you’re facing the scenario!
