- Mohs Surgery“I recently discovered I had skin cancer on my leg and needed to have it removed. After discovering the Mohs Surgery technique, I decided that was best for me. I contacted two clinics in Houston that could perform this procedure. I e-mailed on Sunday and was contacted promptly at 8:30 A.M. the following Monday (to date, I have never received a call from the other clinic). The procedure was explained to me and an appointment was set up. I was most impressed with the response time to my initial inquiry and the response, via phone, the following morning. This has been my experience throughout the entire process.
- Botox® because they are similar neurotoxin formulas, and can be used interchangeably in clinical practice. Jeuveau has been given the nickname “newtox” as it is a newer formulation with some exciting data that hints that it may offer a longer treatment duration in some patients. BOTOX has become synonymous with injectable anti-aging treatments, while Jeuveau is an advanced formula and the first treatment of its type to receive FDA approval in over a decade. Our board-certified dermatologists will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine which injectable is best for you.
- LiposuctionExercising and eating well are great for your health, but they are not always enough to get you to your ideal body shape. Surgery such as liposuction can be invasive with a long, uncomfortable recovery. Luckily, there is another way to get rid of stubborn fat—freeze it away! CoolSculpting
- Rhinoplasty® are often used to plump the lips, temples and cheeks or improve the appearance of deep wrinkles. In the hands of an expert provider, fillers can also be used to contour the jawline, enhance the cheekbones, or even change the look of the nose for a temporary rhinoplasty. Patients seeking to refresh their look can opt for multiple dermal filler treatments, a comprehensive approach sometimes called a “liquid facelift”.
- Face LiftRegardless of where I am, the health club, shopping, or out with my husband, women stop me and ask whether my makeup was professionally applied, whether I model, or if I had a face lift and/or other work.
- Nose SurgeryIf you are interested in changing the appearance of your nose, but you do not want invasive nose surgery, dermal fillers may be the perfect solution. Dermal fillers can be used to diminish the appearance of a bump, disguise a drooping nasal tip, or recontour the bridge of the nose. This type of “liquid nose job” can give the appearance of a straighter, more symmetrical nose.
- Lip AugmentationFull lips are coveted as a sign of youth, but lips often lose volume as we age and some people have naturally thin lips. Dermal fillers are a popular way to add volume to the lips and can also smooth away fine lines near the lips and add definition to the cupid’s bow. Lip augmentation with dermal fillers is fully customizable so you can get a subtly enhanced pout or a more dramatic increase in fullness.

- Dermabrasion“Three years ago I did dermabrasion on my face. I was very disappointed with my results. My skin condition actually got worse. I was left with brown spots, scarring, and cysts. I went to multiple doctors and no one could offer me a solid solution. I spent thousands of dollars on bleaching creams, medications, products, and doctor’s visits. I felt hopeless. One night I saw an old friend and her skin looked drastically improved. She told me she did a series of laser treatments with Dr. Friedman. The next morning I immediately called and made an appointment. When I went for my consultation I felt reassured by other patients in the waiting room. They all raved about the results that they had received. During my consultation Dr. Friedman addressed each issue that I had and recommended a short series of Smoothbeam and Fraxel treatments. I got good results from the Smoothbeam. I was initially apprehensive about the Fraxel treatment. Dr. Friedman told me it was the best laser he had ever used. He also told me that he had used it on his family members. His genuine enthusiasm for his work convinced me it was the right decision for me. I never could have anticipated the results that I have received. I never thought my condition could improve so much. My scars and brown spots have faded dramatically. My cysts have diminished. I strongly feel if I never discovered Dr. Friedman, I would have never found a solution. The Fraxel laser is the best thing I’ve ever done for my skin. The downtime is minimal and the results are astounding. It is abundantly clear with Dr. Friedman’s proficient understanding of the skin and vast knowledge of lasers that a new standard will be set in the dermatologic community.”
