Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing
in Belmont and Boston, MA
At Renascence Aesthetic Dermatology, led by Katie O’Brien, NP, we are proud to offer advanced laser and skin rejuvenation treatments using the Candela Nordlys System. Serving patients in Belmont and Boston, MA, our customized treatments focus on achieving radiant, youthful, and healthy skin with minimal downtime.
Versatile and Effective
Dermal fillers are extraordinary in how versatile they are and how many different areas they can effectively address. Katie O’Brien uses them often for age-related volume loss, facial contouring, and to achieve a non-surgical facelift in Belmont, MA. The stress and climate of Belmont can also take their toll on one’s skin, causing wrinkles that can be addressed with dermal fillers as well.
