Refreshed, Natural, Still You.
You don't need to know the name of a treatment to know what you'd like to change. Maybe it's lines that have deepened, skin that has lost some of its firmness, or sun damage that no longer fades. Start with what bothers you, and Dr. Alisa Ratzlaff will help you understand the options designed to address it.
Facial Esthetics, Organized Around Your Goals
Most people don't shop for a laser protocol or an injectable by name. They simply want to look a little more rested, a little firmer, a little more even. That's why this page is organized around goals instead of equipment. Each section below describes a common concern and the treatment options we may recommend for it, all provided at CFD under the direction of Dr. Alisa Ratzlaff, whose clinical understanding of facial anatomy guides every recommendation.
Every plan is individualized. During your consultation, we'll talk about what you'd like to improve and explain which treatment, or combination of treatments, fits your goals.
I Want to Soften Lines & Wrinkles
Lines form for different reasons, and the reason helps determine the treatment. Some lines come from repeated muscle movement. Others come from changes in the skin itself. In many cases, the most natural-looking result comes from addressing both.
Botox
Botox works by relaxing targeted muscles associated with frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. Treatment can be tailored with the goal of softening expression lines while maintaining a natural look. Botox may also be used therapeutically at CFD for certain symptoms associated with TMD.
SmoothLase & SmoothEye
SmoothLase is a Fotona laser protocol performed from inside the mouth and may help improve the appearance of lines around the mouth and lower face by supporting collagen renewal. SmoothEye uses Fotona laser energy around the eye area and may help improve the appearance of fine lines and skin firmness.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fotona laser resurfacing uses targeted laser energy to address concerns such as fine lines and surface texture, with treatment tailored to your skin and individual goals.
As collagen production slows over time, skin gradually loses firmness. These treatments are designed to support your skin's own renewal rather than mask the change.
I Want Firmer, Healthier-Looking Skin
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and contains platelets, fibrin, and growth factors that can be used as part of facial-esthetic treatment. At CFD, it may be incorporated into treatment plans focused on skin texture, rejuvenation, or hair-related concerns.
Microneedling with PRF
A precise microneedling device creates micro-channels in the skin, which are then treated with PRF. This approach is designed to support the skin’s natural renewal process and may help improve the appearance of texture, fine lines, and scarring.
Bio-Lift
Bio-Lift is a CARE Esthetics treatment approach that combines microneedling with PRF, PRF injections, and Bio-Filler as part of one coordinated plan. It is designed to support facial rejuvenation using PRF-based and regenerative treatment approaches.
Fotona Skin Tightening
Fotona laser treatments use targeted laser energy to address skin firmness and other signs of aging. Treatment can be tailored to your skin, concerns, and individual goals.
I Want to Restore Volume Naturally
Changes in facial volume can become more noticeable over time, including around the cheeks, under the eyes, and around the mouth. Depending on your goals, options may include PRF-based treatments, traditional fillers, or laser treatments.
Bio-Filler (PRF-Based Facial Filler)
Bio-Filler is a PRF-based facial filler prepared using your own platelet-rich fibrin. It may be used to address areas of facial volume loss as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Dermal Fillers
Where appropriate, traditional dermal filler options may also be discussed as part of your plan. Dr. Ratzlaff will help you weigh PRF-based options against other fillers based on your goals, your anatomy, and your preferences.
LipLase
LipLase is a Fotona laser protocol that uses laser energy around the lip area and may help improve the appearance of lip fullness and definition without injected filler.
Uneven texture, sun damage, and scarring may be addressed with treatments designed to resurface the skin and support its natural renewal process.
I Want to Improve Texture, Pigmentation or Scarring
Microneedling
With or without PRF, microneedling may help improve the appearance of uneven skin texture, tone, and acne scarring by supporting the skin’s natural renewal process.
Laser Peel
A laser peel uses targeted laser energy to address the skin’s outer layers and may help improve the appearance of uneven texture, tone, and other surface concerns.
Fotona Laser Resurfacing
Fotona laser resurfacing uses targeted laser energy to address concerns such as fine lines, sun damage, uneven tone, and surface texture. Treatment is tailored to your skin and individual goals.
PRF Support
PRF may be incorporated into certain resurfacing treatments as part of an individualized treatment plan.
I Want to Address Veins, Lesions or Unwanted Hair
Laser technology may also be used for specific concerns involving visible veins, pigmentation, unwanted hair, and selected skin lesions. An evaluation helps determine which options may be appropriate for your individual concern.
Vascular Treatments
Certain laser treatments may be appropriate for visible facial veins and other small vascular concerns, depending on the area being treated and your individual needs.
Pigmented Lesion Treatments
Certain pigmentation concerns, such as age spots and freckles, may be appropriate for laser treatment following an evaluation.
Selected Mole & Lesion Treatments
Selected skin lesions may be appropriate for laser treatment following an evaluation. We’ll determine whether the concern is suitable for treatment at CFD or whether evaluation by another healthcare provider is more appropriate.
Hair Removal
Laser technology may also be used to address unwanted hair. During your consultation, we can discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for your goals and treatment area.
What you do between visits matters. At-home skincare can complement your professional treatment plan and support your ongoing skincare goals. CFD carries a selection of SkinCeuticals professional skincare products in-office and can order additional products as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
That goal shapes how treatment is planned. Options may include Botox, PRF-based treatments, or laser treatments, depending on your concerns and goals. Dr. Ratzlaff takes a conservative, individualized approach designed to complement your natural features rather than dramatically change them.
Each works differently. Botox is used to soften expression lines by relaxing targeted muscles. Fillers are used to address areas of volume loss.
