Non-laser Procedures

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE DTLA, BRENTWOOD, PASADENA, COSTA MESA, AND SAN JOSE.

Non-laser procedures consist of an array of treatments designed to enhance skin quality, address aging concerns, and improve overall aesthetics. Non-laser skin treatments encompass injectables, chemical peels, microneedling, and dermal fillers, among others. Unlike laser therapies, these procedures utilize different techniques and formulations to achieve desired results.

Benefits of Non-Laser Procedures

• Versatile Solutions: Our non-laser treatments offer versatile solutions for various aesthetic concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and volume loss, providing tailored approaches to meet individual needs.

• Minimally Invasive: Most non-laser procedures are minimally invasive, involving minimal discomfort and generally requiring little to no downtime, allowing individuals to resume their routine activities shortly after treatment.

• Targeted Results: These treatments provide targeted results, allowing practitioners to address specific concerns in localized areas, resulting in natural-looking enhancements. 

• Collagen Stimulation: Many non-laser procedures, such as microneedling, promote collagen production, aiding in skin rejuvenation and enhancing skin texture and elasticity over time.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for non-laser skin rejuvenation procedures are individuals seeking improvement in specific aesthetic concerns without opting for laser-based treatments. They typically include those looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, or restore facial volume. Patients from Brentwood, Pasadena, Downtown L.A., Orange County, and Costa Mesa can greatly benefit from non-laser procedures if they have good overall health and no active infections on the treatment site. 

Cosmetic Mole Removal

Cosmetic mole removal is a procedure aimed at removing moles that are deemed undesirable due to their appearance or location on the body.

Sunspot Removal

Sunspot removal refers to the process of eliminating or reducing the appearance of dark spots or patches on the skin caused by prolonged sun exposure.

Vampire Facial

The vampire facial, also known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes the regenerative properties of the patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin.

Microneedling

The microneedles lead to micro-injury of the skin and induce healing growth factors that lead to collagen production resulting in healthier-looking, firmer skin.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outermost layers, promoting skin regeneration and revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

PRP for facial rejuvenation

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that utilizes the regenerative properties of the patient’s own blood to revitalize and enhance the skin’s appearance.

PRP for hair growth

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair growth is an innovative procedure that utilizes the regenerative properties of the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair regrowth.

Undereye PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for the undereye area is a revolutionary procedure that utilizes the regenerative properties of the patient’s own blood to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the delicate skin under the eyes.

I have been going to Metropolis Dermatology for about two years now, and it has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience. The staff are always friendly, thorough, and welcoming. They make everything run so smoothly, and I appreciate how prompt they are in answering any questions I have. But the star of the show is Dr. Shauna Higgins! I could spend all day writing about what an incredible physician she is. She is the kind of doctor people wish for. She’s incredibly caring, so attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. At every appointment with her, I walk out feeling seen and heard, and I always leave with a smile on my face. Prior to coming to her, I was struggling with my skin in many ways, but she has completely fixed all of those issues! If I could have her as all of my doctors, I absolutely would.

They have snacks, tea, coffee , and water for you. The staff is very nice and pleasant. One staff suggested a nice restaurant and bakery . Dr. Higgins is excellent and has great communication skills. I asked a few questions and she gladly answered. Some doctors are short and blunt and you don't feel comfortable asking questions. I'm glad Metropolis is not that type of medical facility . The staff are courteous, the place is clean and they have snacks!
