If smooth, hair-free skin is on your wish list for next summer, winter is the perfect time to begin your laser hair removal journey. Most people think about removing unwanted hair when the weather warms up, but the cooler months offer numerous advantages. Forever Bare BBL, proudly provided by Desert Eyesthetics, will have you summer-ready with ultra-smooth, hair-free skin.
Laser technology works best when there is a high contrast between the dark pigment of the hair and the pale pigment of the skin. During the colder, cloudier winter months, reduced sun exposure and the lack of a tan help the laser target hair follicles with precision. It also helps significantly reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation, burns, or skin irritation. Additionally, warmer clothing, like sweaters and long pants, provides a shield against the sun’s UV rays, protecting your skin as it heals.
Because hair grows in cycles, most patients require a series of 6 to 8 sessions, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the best results. Starting your treatments in the winter gives you enough time to complete a full course of sessions just as the warmer weather arrives. Your skin will be completely smooth, hair-free, and ready for beach season and summer outfits without the last-minute stress of shaving or waxing.
Forever Bare BBL by Sciton uses broadband light (BBL) to target and heat hair follicles, destroying them, while leaving your surrounding skin intact. Unlike most lasers that deliver all their energy to a given area at once, Forever Bare BBL produces multiple lower-fluence pulses at a high repetition rate, safeguarding your skin while progressively raising the temperature of the target hair follicles to levels ideal for permanent hair removal.
Our laser handpiece features a built-in cooling system, providing a safer and more comfortable treatment experience. The motion BBL technology ensures the even heating of those unwanted hair follicles, minimizing missed areas, as with many other hair removal lasers. The multi-burst and cooling technology works safely and effectively on most skin types and colors, delivering impressive, lasting results. Best of all, you will not need any downtime, meaning you can get back to your daily activities right after treatment.
Forever Bare BBL offers multiple spot size adapters that can target large areas, such as the legs or back, or smaller, more delicate areas, such as the bikini line. It is safe for use on all areas of the body, including the face, hands, underarms, arms, legs, and chest. Wherever you have unwanted hair, Forever Bare can help you achieve the smooth, silky, and hair-free skin you desire.
The length of your Forever Bare BBL session may vary. A smaller area, such as the underarms, may only take a few short minutes to treat, while larger ones, such as the back, may take longer. We will start by applying a clear gel and then deliver BBL energy to target your unwanted hairs. Patients often report a warm sensation, similar to a hot-stone massage.
Within a few days to a week of your Forever Bare session, you may notice what appears to be new hair growth. This is known as the ‘shedding’ phase, where the treated hairs naturally fall out, revealing the smooth, hair-free results of your treatment. After completing a series of treatments, you should see significant, permanent hair reduction. Future touch-up treatments may be required to help you maintain silky-smooth, hair-free skin.
Don’t wait until swimsuit season to think about laser hair removal. Dr. Garcia and her team at Desert Eyesthetics will personalize your Forever Bare BBL laser hair reduction treatments to help you achieve smooth and hair-free skin in time for summer. We invite you to call us at 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
As the years go by, signs of aging begin to appear, including fine lines, loss of firmness, and loose, sagging skin. At Desert Eyesthetics, we offer a range of skin tightening solutions, including SkinTyte, to lift, tighten, and tone, leaving you with beautifully youthful contours. We look forward to helping you look and feel your best.
SkinTyte is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced broadband light (BBL) to deliver pulses of infrared energy, gently heating the deeper layers of your skin. The controlled heat stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen, the essential protein that keeps your skin firm, plump, and youthful. As collagen rebuilds, your skin gradually becomes tighter, stronger, and more radiant.
SkinTyte is ideal for all skin types and tones, delivering exceptional results for most men and women. The revolutionary skin tightening solution helps reduce lines and wrinkles and lifts sagging skin around the eyes, jawline, chin, and abdomen. It also improves skin texture and smoothness, increases plumpness, restores lost volume, and so much more.
SkinTyte skin tightening is a gentle procedure that does not require local anesthetics. You may experience a warming sensation, but you should not feel pain or discomfort. Your procedure will start with a special gel application to your treatment area. Next, the device’s handpiece will deliver light energy in a sequence of gentle, rapid pulses, while the innovative system’s sapphire contact cooling ensures your comfort and protects your surrounding skin.
With SkinTyte, you can restore your sculpted contours with no needles, harsh chemicals, surgery, or downtime. Simply stop by during your lunch break for a quick pick-me-up and get back to your day with minimal interruption. You may experience mild redness, which should subside soon after treatment.
Most patients report immediate improvement after treatment, with visible results unfolding over the following month or two as collagen production continues. Most individuals require 3-6 treatment sessions for optimal outcomes. While results can vary, most people report smoother, firmer, tighter-looking skin that can last up to 18 months, after which periodic touch-up treatments will help maintain your skin’s youthful radiance.
SkinTyte offers numerous benefits, including the following:
If you’re looking for solutions to lift and tighten sagging skin, now’s the time to explore what SkinTyte can do for you. At Desert Eyesthetics, we provide cutting-edge technology and trusted care in a warm, welcoming environment where you will feel right at home. Dr. Garcia and her team personalize each SkinTyte treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns, and goals, helping you achieve the best possible outcomes.

Are you in search of solutions to polish your skin and reveal a brighter, more even complexion? At Desert Eyesthetics, we proudly offer NanoLaser Peels, a lunchtime treatment that removes the top layer of your skin, revealing a beautifully youthful and radiant complexion. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, or other skin imperfections, the skin resurfacing treatment will leave you looking and feeling your best!
NanoLaser Peel, also known as a lunchtime peel, is a quick skin-polishing treatment that is fully tailored to you and your skin, allowing you to choose your desired results and downtime that work for your unique needs and preferences. It involves the use of a comfortable erbium laser to remove a thin layer of damaged skin, promoting skin renewal, polishing dry and dull skin, and improving tone and texture.
A NanoLaser Peel can be administered at different depths with incredible precision, offering superior results. Popular treatment areas include the face and neck, although some patients also opt for treating their chest and hands. The transformative treatment is ideal for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, keratosis, sun damage, pigment irregularities, and so much more. Imagine getting your transformative NanoLaser Peel on Friday and heading back to work as soon as Monday with a beautifully rejuvenated complexion!
Our experienced provider will use a precise laser beam to ablate or vaporize a thin layer of skin, removing the dead skin cells, damaged tissues, and impurities that give the skin a tired, aged look. As the area heals, fresh skin cells grow in the treatment area, leaving you with more even, smoother, cleaner, and healthier skin. Our patients often express how their skin went from tired to luminous in just a few days!
We will start by cleansing the treatment area and placing safety shields to protect your eyes. Next, we will hold the innovative laser handpiece over your skin as the device’s computer-guided scanner moves the laser beam around your treatment area.
Depending on the size of the area, your treatment can be completed in less than 15 minutes. One of the advantages of the NanoLaser Peel is how comfortable the treatment is, with most people requiring no numbing. Healing is quick and will depend on the depth of the peel, ranging from 3 to 4 days for a light peel, 4 to 5 days for a medium peel, and 5 to 7 days for a deep peel. Light peeling and redness may occur, after which your skin will look and feel beautifully smooth, clear, and radiant.
The NanoLaser Peel offers numerous benefits, including the following:

Are you in search of solutions to achieve and maintain a beautiful, virtually flawless complexion? At Desert Eyesthetics, we proudly offer microneedling with the SkinStylus Microsystem, a transformative treatment that promotes natural skin renewal and rejuvenation. The gentle alternative to laser skin resurfacing treatments will leave your skin looking and feeling its best.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the creation of numerous micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles called microneedles. This triggers a natural healing response, which helps stimulate new collagen production and remodels the treatment area.
At Desert Eyesthetics, we use the SkinStylus MicroSystem to transform your skin without the need for heat, thermal energy, or chemicals, practically eliminating post-treatment sensitivity or downtime. The micro-channels created during treatment also allow for better penetration of your serums or skincare products, maximizing their benefits.
Microneedling with SkinStylus is safe for use on virtually any part of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, arms, legs, abdomen, and back. The anti-aging and skin resurfacing treatment can address a range of complexion imperfections, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne and surgical scars, uneven skin tone and texture, age spots, melasma, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and other blemishes. SkinStylus microneedling offers a minimally invasive option to help you achieve a smoother, healthier, and more radiant appearance.
SkinStylus features a patented, closed-cartridge system designed to prevent cross-contamination between patients. It is engineered for exceptional performance, ensuring precise and consistent needle depth for a more controlled and effective treatment experience. SkinStylus microneedling is safe and gentle on your skin, reducing inflammation while promoting faster healing and recovery. It delivers stunning transformations with minimal discomfort and downtime.
We will begin by numbing your treatment area with a topical anesthetic cream for your comfort. Once your skin is prepped, we will glide the handheld SkinStylus device on the target area, creating thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the top layer of the skin. This helps boost collagen production, which is essential for firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. After microneedling, we will apply a booster serum to address your skin’s unique needs, enhancing the effects of treatment.
The microneedling with SkinStylus procedure is relatively quick, taking anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. It requires little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your regular daily activities with minimal interruption. You may experience mild swelling, irritation, and redness after treatment, which should subside within a day or two following treatment. Once the area clears, you’ll be amazed at the clarity and natural beauty of your skin.
The results of SkinStylus microneedling may vary, with most patients reporting an immediate “glow” right after treatment. Most individuals report noticeable results after the second treatment session, with dramatic transformations after a full series of treatments. We typically recommend 4 to 6 microneedling sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for the best results. You will also need 1 to 2 maintenance treatments each year to maintain a beautifully rejuvenated complexion.

Are under-eye hollows or bags leaving you looking tired, aged, or even unwell? Dr. Garcia our highly skilled and experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon at Desert Eyesthetics is pleased to offer dermal fillers and lower eyelid surgery to restore your youthful, rested appearance. So, what’s the best way to treat under-eye hollows? Let’s explore your options.
Under-eye hollows, also known as “tear troughs,” are the sunken areas beneath the eyes that can leave you with dark circles, shadows, and an overall tired appearance. They can result from the loss of hyaluronic acid, fat, and collagen over time, leaving you with a hollow, puffy, or discolored appearance.
The good news is that both dermal fillers and lower eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) offer effective solutions to address under-eye hollows. The ideal option for you will depend on the severity of your concerns, your unique needs, your personal goals, and your lifestyle.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance the body produces that helps maintain skin hydration, volume, suppleness, and elasticity. As the years go by, HA production diminishes, leading to signs of aging, including under-eye hollows, bags, and dark circles.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, including Restylane, are ideal for restoring lost volume and minimizing under-eye hollows, lines, bags, and dark circles. The innovative cosmetic injectable will leave you with a more youthful, vibrant appearance, all without surgery or downtime. Treatment results can last for several months, after which periodic touch-ups will help you maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
Lower eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is an outpatient procedure that Dr. Garcia performs under IV sedation and local anesthesia for your comfort. The procedure involves making a small incision on the inner part of the eyelid or in the eyelid skin. Dr. Garcia will sculpt and reposition the fat to restore your natural lower eyelid contours and close the incision with fine sutures.
Recovery may involve some swelling and bruising, which typically subside over 2-3 weeks. The results of treatment are impressive, virtually erasing your under-eye hollows and restoring your youthful, rested appearance.
Choosing between dermal fillers and lower eyelid surgery depends on several factors, including the severity of your under-eye hollows, the presence of excess skin or fat, your desired downtime, and how long you want your results to last. In general, dermal fillers can be ideal for patients with mild to moderate hollows, minimal skin laxity, and no prominent eye bags. They are especially popular among those seeking a quick boost with minimal downtime.
For individuals with more advanced signs of aging, excess skin, or prominent fat pads under the eyes, lower eyelid surgery may offer a more effective solution. Unlike dermal fillers, blepharoplasty delivers long-lasting results, making it ideal for patients wanting a lasting transformation.
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Garcia may recommend a combination of dermal fillers and surgery. Surgery can correct structural concerns, while fillers can refine and enhance your final treatment outcomes. During your initial consultation, Dr. Garcia will evaluate your under-eye area and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to deliver beautifully balanced and natural results. Her goal is always to enhance your appearance and help you look like the best version of yourself.
If you are looking for solutions to address under-eye hollows, contact Desert Eyesthetics to schedule a consultation. Dr. Garcia may recommend dermal fillers lower eyelid surgery or a combination of both to restore your youthful, vibrant appearance. Our acclaimed oculoplastic surgeon has extensive experience offering both surgical and non-surgical eyelid rejuvenation, ensuring you achieve the best possible treatment outcomes. We invite you to call us at 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
At Desert Eyesthetics, we proudly offer BBL therapy, harnessing the power of light to address a range of skin concerns and enhance your skin’s natural beauty. From erasing the signs of aging and sun damage to lifting sagging skin, eliminating acne outbreaks, and permanent hair reduction, BBL therapy may be the perfect solution to address your specific needs. Dr. Garcia and her team tailor your treatments to reveal your best skin yet.
Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is an innovative, non-invasive technology that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target various skin concerns with exceptional precision. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, BBL delivers a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, allowing us to customize your treatments to address specific skin types and concerns.
The controlled delivery of light energy triggers the skin’s natural healing processes, promoting collagen production and skin cell regeneration. Not only does BBL therapy address visible imperfections on the skin’s surface, but it also works at the molecular level, restoring your even, youthful complexion.
The following are the BBL treatment options we offer at Desert Eyesthetics:
BBL Hero: BBL Hero is a powerful, intense pulsed light (IPL) device that offers a quick and effective solution for rejuvenating aging and sun-damaged skin on the arms, legs, chest, shoulders, and virtually anywhere on the body. The innovative technology reverses the visible signs of aging and sun damage, including age spots, sunspots, redness, or dull-looking skin. BBL Hero can rejuvenate your skin with little to no discomfort or downtime.
Forever Young BBL: Forever Young BBL targets a wide range of skin concerns at the molecular level. BBL light therapy, also known as photorejuvenation, softens the visible signs of aging and sun damage, leaving you with a more even skin tone and texture. Treatment areas are those most exposed to the sun’s harmful rays, including the face, neck, back of the hands, shoulders, and chest.
Forever Clear BBL: Forever Clear BBL is a non-invasive acne treatment that uses a unique, 3-step treatment protocol to effectively clear teen and adult acne without creams or medication, delivering your clearest, most radiant skin. The world’s most powerful IPL device delivers intense pulsed light deep into the skin, eliminating acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores, clearing acne breakouts, and reducing the risk of future ones. The results? A beautifully clear and radiant complexion.
SkinTyte: SkinTyte offers a revolutionary solution for lifting sagging skin without surgery or downtime. Infrared light heats the skin’s deeper layers, while controlled cooling keeps the surface layers protected. Light energy, delivered in rapid, gentle pulses, helps activate the body’s natural healing processes, lifting and tightening the skin from within and leaving you looking your best from every angle.
Forever Bare: Forever Bare is a safe and comfortable hair removal system that can permanently reduce hair from different areas of the body, including your underarms, bikini line, back, chest, face, and legs. The device delivers concentrated light into unwanted hair follicles, where it is absorbed by pigments called melanin. This helps destroy the hair follicles while leaving your surrounding skin intact. A series of treatments will leave you with smooth, silky, and hair-free skin with no downtime!

Desert Eyestheticsis pleased to offer Halo Hybrid Fractional Resurfacing, your key to achieving a healthy, radiant complexion.

Halo hybrid fractional resurfacing is a cutting-edge skin treatment that uses ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths to address a wide range of skin concerns. This dual approach allows us to treat the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen while also refreshing the surface layer, all in one treatment. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, Halo offers less downtime and faster healing, making it a sought-after choice for those seeking excellent results without missing work or everyday activities.
Halo hybrid fractional laser resurfacing is effective on the face, neck, chest, hands, or any area where you want smoother, healthier-looking skin. Many patients choose the Halo Laser in Gilbert, AZ, to address a wide range of complexion concerns, including the following:
Our patients love the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser because it offers stunning transformations with minimal downtime compared to traditional laser treatments. One of the greatest advantages is that Halo is fully customizable. Dr. Garcia can adjust the intensity of treatment to suit your specific skin type and your aesthetic goals. Halo is safe for most skin tones and offers long-lasting results that unfold over time as the skin continues to produce new collagen.
Unlike traditional laser treatments, Halo often delivers noticeable improvements in fewer visits. Whether you’re preparing for a special event, want to refresh your look, or simply want healthier, more radiant skin, Halo delivers impressive, visible results with minimal recovery.
When you visit Desert Eyesthetics for Halo Hybrid Resurfacing, we begin with a personalized consultation to discuss your skin goals and determine if Halo is right for you.
Here’s a look at what you can expect:
After your transformative procedure, you will begin to notice smoother, brighter skin within a matter of days. The stunning results will continue to improve over time as your body produces more collagen.
Halo laser treatments provide long-lasting improvements to your skin’s appearance and texture. To maintain those results, it’s important to use UV sunscreen to protect your treated skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
A single Halo session can produce a significant improvement in your skin’s health and appearance. However, additional treatment sessions can further enhance your results over time. Dr. Garcia will evaluate your skin’s unique needs and recommend the ideal number of sessions to deliver your best skin yet. You may opt for one or two deeper treatments or a series of less intense treatments over a period of time to achieve your desired aesthetic goals. We typically recommend follow-up treatments every 1-2 years to maintain your skin’s youthful glow.

Looking for solutions to soften the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles? If so, you may want to consider wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Jeauveau, proudly brought to you by Desert Eyesthetics. Dr. Garcia, our experienced physician, will tailor your treatment to address your unique needs, restoring your youthful contours. Be prepared to be amazed!
Repeated expressions or facial movements like smiling, laughing, frowning, or drinking through a straw can leave you with dynamic lines and wrinkles, and we at Desert Eyesthetics are here to help. We may recommend wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Jeauveau, to reduce forehead wrinkles, “frown” lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and unwanted lines in other areas.
But how do wrinkle relaxers work? These injectable neuromodulators are derived from a purified form of the botulinum toxin type A. They safely and effectively block nerve signals to muscles responsible for contractions, visibly reducing folds, lines, creases, and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression.
Dr. Garcia will thoroughly evaluate your unique needs and aesthetic goals to plan treatment. Next, she will use ultra-fine needles to inject Botox or Jeuveau into targeted muscles with minimal pain or discomfort. You will not require downtime, meaning you can go about your daily activities right after treatment without interruption.
You can expect minimal discomfort, and depending on the treatment area, only minor swelling and slight bruising may occur for a few hours. Your facial lines and wrinkles should start fading within two or three days, with the full effects of treatment apparent in about two weeks and peaking in about a month.
The dramatic results of treatment typically last three to four months, after which the lines, folds, and wrinkles gradually appear once again. Touch-up treatments will ensure you continue to enjoy your wrinkle-free, youthful complexion. With continued treatments, the muscles are trained to relax, meaning the effects of treatment will last longer, requiring less frequent maintenance in the future.
Aside from their cosmetic uses, our injectable neurotoxins offer therapeutic applications, including addressing blepharospasm, a condition characterized by repeated blinking or uncontrollable eyelid twitching. Moreover, some patients suffer from hemifacial spasms, which can cause muscle shaking and spasms that start with the eyelid and extend to the cheek and mouth. Botox or Jeuveau can relax the facial muscles that cause the twitching, helping relieve your symptoms and enhancing your quality of life.
During treatment, Dr. Garcia will inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into your eyelid muscles to relax them and relieve the spasms. The exceptional treatment results can last three to four months, after which you will need retreatment to keep those twitches under control.
Botulinum toxin treatment can often enhance the effects of other cosmetic treatments. Many of our patients here at Desert Eyesthetics choose the “Wrinkle-Fighting Duo,” a combination of botulinum toxin and filler. We typically use Juvederm or Restylane products to fill in existing wrinkles and Botox or Jeuveau to prevent new wrinkles from forming. The two cosmetic injectables can work together to leave you looking more youthful for longer.
Trusting our board-certified, fellowship-trained oculofacial plastic specialist for your cosmetic injectable needs will ensure the best possible outcomes and minimize the risk of complications. Dr. Garcia’s extensive experience, exceptional skill, steady hands, and eye for balance and beauty provide precision and confidence you can count on for safe, natural-looking results.
Looking for solutions to soften the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles? If so, you may want to consider botulinum toxin injections, proudly brought to you by Desert Eyesthetics. Dr. Garcia will personalize your treatments to skillfully and artistically deliver your desired outcomes. We invite you to call us at 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
At Desert Eyesthetics, we understand the concern that eyelid skin cancer diagnosis can bring. Dr. Garcia, our board-certified oculoplastic surgeon, has the skill, experience, and expertise to repair your eyelids and restore their function and natural appearance. You can always expect personalized, compassionate care and service that exceed your expectations!
Your eyelids play an important role in enhancing your appearance and protecting your eyes from environmental factors. They also help maintain moisture, spreading tears each time you blink.
Healthy cells sometimes change, forming masses called tumors, which are often benign, meaning they can grow but will not spread. Cancerous growths, on the other hand, can spread to different parts of the body, posing a health risk.
The following are the most common types of eyelid cancer:
The leading cause of eyelid skin cancer is prolonged ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, making it a particular concern in our sunny Arizona climate. Factors such as age, fair skin, and family history can also increase the risk, as can a weakened immune system. The sooner eyelid cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the long-term outcomes.
Symptoms of eyelid cancer may include the following:
If you notice any of these symptoms or if you have any other concerns, contact Desert Eyesthetics for a prompt evaluation. Treating eyelid cancer in its earliest stages offers the best chances to stop its spread.
Diagnosing eyelid cancer begins with a biopsy, which involves collecting a tissue sample for examination under a microscope. Sometimes, a biopsy completely removes the tumor, eliminating the need for further treatment. Melanoma and sebaceous gland carcinomas typically need more aggressive treatment protocols to prevent them from spreading.
Depending on your unique situation, Dr Garcia may recommend referral to a Mohs Surgeon for complete cancer excision. After removing the tumor, our experienced oculoplastic surgeon will reconstruct your eyelid to enhance its appearance, ensure proper function, protect your eyes, and preserve your vision.
Contact Desert Eyesthetics to learn more about eyelid cancer diagnosis and repair. Treatment and reconstruction require delicate, highly skilled techniques to remove the cancer in its entirety and reconstruct the area for optimal function. Dr. Garcia is an experienced oculoplastic surgeon with the skill and expertise to deliver the best possible outcomes. We invite you to call us at 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
