Plan Your Visit

At Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, part of the University of Miami Health System, we understand that people seek cosmetic treatments for many reasons—whether to reduce signs of aging, improve skin tone, soften scars, or repair sun damage. With our expertise and experience, we are a trusted choice for safe, effective, and personalized non-surgical cosmetic care.

Conditions That Benefit from Non-Surgical Treatments

Our specialists treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns without the need for surgery, including:

  • Visible blood vessels around the cheeks and eyelids
  • Excess fat beneath the chin or neck
  • Skin changes from aging or sun exposure
  • Facial lines, wrinkles, and creases
  • Loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, or abdomen
  • Uneven skin tone caused by sun spots, acne scars, or redness
  • Unsightly scars
  • Unwanted hair

Tests & Consultation

Comprehensive Consultation: Each patient receives a thorough evaluation, including medical and family history, health review, and discussion of cosmetic goals. Our experts carefully assess facial features and explain treatment options, risks, and expected recovery.

Blood Tests (if needed): Your physician may recommend bloodwork to ensure safety, check for infections or blood disorders, and assess kidney and liver function before treatment.

Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Topical Skin Care

  • We provide a full range of physician-recommended skin care solutions tailored to your skin type, including cleansers, creams, serums, retinoids, and sunscreens that protect, repair, and enhance skin health.

Eyelash Growth

  • With age, eyelashes may thin. Our team has published research on Latisse® (bimatoprost), the only FDA-approved treatment proven to lengthen, thicken, and darken eyelashes.

Chemical Peels


  • Chemical peels safely and effectively refresh skin tone, smooth uneven texture, and reduce pigmentation. Options range from mild to stronger treatments, depending on individual needs.

Botulinum Toxins (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®)


  • FDA-approved neuromodulators temporarily relax targeted muscles, softening wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, brows, nose, mouth, and neck. Treatments are quick, safe, and require no downtime. Results typically last about four months.

Dermal Fillers


  • Fillers restore volume to areas of the face and hands that show signs of aging. Using only FDA-approved products, our experts customize treatment plans for natural, long-lasting results—often up to two years or more.

Neck Injections (Kybella®)


  • This FDA-approved injectable dissolves fat beneath the chin, improving neck and jawline definition. Treatments are spaced every 6–8 weeks for optimal results.

Laser Resurfacing

  • Laser treatments stimulate collagen to improve wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin texture. We offer different types of laser therapy based on lifestyle and recovery preferences. Lasers may also treat birthmarks, visible veins, and unwanted hair.

Light Therapy

  • Intense pulsed light (IPL) reduces pigment spots, visible vessels, and photoaging. This same technology is also used in treating dry eyes.

Skin Tightening

  • Infrared and radiofrequency therapies tighten skin on the face, neck, abdomen, and eyelids—while also providing benefits for dry eye symptoms. Our physicians were among the first in the U.S. to use these technologies for Meibomian gland disease.
