Botox in Chelsea, done with care that lasts
You shouldn’t have to choose between
looking refreshed and looking like yourself.
Botox isn't new. But how it's delivered—and how natural the results look—still varies widely. At CSLC Chelsea, we proudly continue Dr. Howlin's legacy and treat Botox as part of a bigger picture, not just a line-smoothing quick fix.
Whether you're exploring it for the first time or refining your approach, our consult-first model ensures your treatment plan works with your features, goals, and lifestyle. It's subtle, strategic, and designed to last. Patients from Chelsea, Dexter, and nearby communities trust our team for results that feel natural, not noticeable—and care that supports confidence and well-being at every age.
Our mission at CSLC in Chelsea
We’re not here to upsell.
We’re here to understand.
We’re not here to upsell.
We’re here to understand.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to aesthetics, and we don’t try to force one. At CSLC Chelsea, everything starts with a conversation—about what you’re noticing, what matters to you, and what kind of care you’re actually looking for. Some patients want to get ahead of fine lines. Others are correcting previous work or easing into a long-term plan. Whatever your goals, we’ll meet you there.

At CSLC Chelsea, we offer non-surgical facial rejuvenation with Sculptra, CO2 laser resurfacing with Total FX, threads, and PRF injections. These treatments restore youthful volume, improve skin texture, and boost collagen—all tailored through a personalized consultation.
Injectables
At CSLC Chelsea, we use a full range of dermal fillers including Juvederm, Restylane, and hyperdilute Radiesse.
Our injectors are nationally trained and focus on balance and subtlety—whether it's lips, cheeks, or jawline, your results will look naturally refreshed.
Yes! Under eye treatment is a big focus of our CSLC University. If you constantly hear, “You look tired,” even when you’re not—it might be volume loss, thinning skin, or poor circulation beneath the eyes. At CSLC Chelsea, we take a layered approach to treating under-eyes.
First, we focus on stimulating collagen with medical-grade skin care and regenerative treatments like microneedling or laser to improve skin texture and tone.
For visible hollowing or darkness, we often recommend a series of under eye PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections. PRF uses your body’s own platelets to brighten, smooth, and restore volume—safely and naturally. In more pronounced cases, under eye filler (carefully placed by our expert injectors) can further soften hollows and lift shadows.
Because the eye area is delicate, every treatment is customized to your anatomy and goals.
The result? A fresher, more rested look—without looking “done.”
Yes—when performed by a highly trained injector, lip fillers are safe and deliver natural-looking results. At CSLC Chelsea, we use only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based fillers and advanced techniques to ensure precision, safety, and long-term satisfaction.
Like any injectable, there can be mild side effects like swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Rare but serious risks—such as vascular occlusion—are very uncommon, especially in expert hands. That’s why experience matters.
Absolutely. At CSLC Chelsea, our philosophy is simple: you should still look like yourself—just more refreshed and confident. We specialize in subtle, natural enhancements, not exaggerated or overfilled looks.
Whether you’re softening lines, restoring volume, or defining features, we take a conservative, “less is more” approach—and tailor everything to your face, your age, and your goals.
If you’re looking for natural-looking filler, we’d love to help. Start with a one-on-one consultation.
Yes—and it’s more common than ever. At CSLC Chelsea, we help male patients enhance their confidence with discreet, natural-looking treatments—like jawline definition, under-eye support, and softening deeper lines.
We understand that men want results that look strong, sharp, and undetectable—not puffy or overdone. Every treatment is customized to your features and goals.
Absolutely. Dermal filler isn’t the only way to restore volume or improve facial structure. At CSLC Chelsea, we also offer biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse, as well as PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)—which stimulate your body to rebuild collagen over time.
These regenerative options are great if you want to improve skin texture, firmness, or tone, without adding visible volume. We often pair them with energy-based treatments or advanced skin care for longer-lasting results.
Laser & Energy-based Treatments
CSLC Chelsea offers medical-grade laser hair removal for all skin types. We treat the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, and more. Our true laser technology (not IPL) ensures safe, lasting results—and we’ve been doing it since 2001.
CSLC Chelsea offers Ultherapy, PDO threads, Laser Lift, and Morpheus8 for non-surgical skin tightening. These treatments firm the jawline, neck, and face by stimulating deep collagen regeneration.
BBL (BroadBand Light), IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser resurfacing all improve skin—but they target different concerns. BBL and IPL are ideal for surface-level pigmentation, redness, and sun damage.
Laser resurfacing (like TotalFX, Fractionated CO2 or Fraxel) goes deeper to stimulate collagen, smooth texture, and reduce fine lines. Many patients benefit from a combination.
If you’re noticing sagging around the jawline or neck, non-surgical skin tightening may be right for you. At CSLC Chelsea, we use advanced treatments like FaceTite, Ultherapy and Morpheus8 to gently heat tissue and boost collagen. Most patients see results over a few sessions, with continued improvement for months.
Want firmer skin without surgery? Let’s talk at your CSLC consultation and develop a treatment plan for your unique features and concerns.
Yes, we offer Morpheus8 treatments at CSLC in Chelsea and all of our Michigan and Florida locations. Morpheus is an advanced, FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling treatment that remodels collagen, tightens skin, and improves tone and texture—all with minimal downtime.
But at CSLC, we don’t just offer Morpheus—we specialize in it.
