THE STORY BEHIND THE DANDELION.
You may have noticed a dandelion or two on this website.
That's because we believe the image of a dandelion perfectly reflects the life-changing work we do at Smooth Skin Centers. While some folks consider dandelions a pesky weed, the dandelion flower itself is symbolic of growth, warmth, healing, radiance, and illumination. It also symbolizes youth and joy - most of us have blown on a dandelion watched in delight as the fluffy seeds magically floated in the air, taking flight to a new beginning.
Youth and joy. Illumination and radiance. Growth and healing. This is the work we are honored to do at Smooth Skin Centers. After successfully helping people feel comfortable in their own skin since opening our doors in 2006, it's our deepest hope is that we’ll be able to help you do the same.

Together, the long-pulse laser and DCD cooling offer optimal treatment with minimal side effects.
