Deep Plane Facelift
The deep plane facelift addresses advanced facial aging by lifting deeper tissue layers for natural, long-lasting results. Ideal for patients seeking comprehensive rejuvenation of the midface, jawline, and neck. Dr. Godins expertise ensures minimal scarring and a refreshed appearance that maintains facial expressiveness.
Micro-Mini Lift
The patented Micro-Mini Lift offers a less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts, targeting early signs of aging with smaller incisions and quicker recovery. Designed for patients in their 40s and 50s, it tightens sagging skin and restores youthful contours with minimal downtime.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat, reducing puffiness and dark circles. This procedure enhances both vision and aesthetics, creating a more alert, youthful appearance while maintaining natural eye expression.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours using hyaluronic acid-based products like JUVDERM. Treatments are non-surgical, with immediate results that soften lines and rejuvenate the face for a refreshed, natural look.
IPL Treatments
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy targets sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone for a clearer, more radiant complexion. This non-invasive treatment stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing redness or pigmentation.

I have had several facials at Dr. Godin's office and every time my experience has been awesome. The staff is friendly, helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I enjoy it so much that I surprised my mother-in-law and mother with treatments that they still talk about (and hint at needing another one). If you are ever looking for a great gift for someone, get them a gift certificate for a facial and I promise you will not regret it!

First review: I have been going to Dr. Godin for YEARS and I am always very pleased with staff, attitudes, and service. I am also extremely pleased with RESULTS of services and procedures. Updated review: No longer recommend. Too many rules that seem to apply to some but not all - especially staff. Standing out in blazing hot sun waiting to be seen is ridiculous, especially while waiting for services for sun-damaged skin. I've come to expect rude, impersonal service from doctors covered under insurance but this is all elective, out-of-pocket expense and I have many other choices. Moving on.

Today was my first time in Dr. Godin's office to get Botox. I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful staff, atmosphere and of course Dr. Godin! The appointment was done in less than an hour so it was extremely convenient to do on my lunch break. The staff made sure I was well taken care of and gave me a cute little ice pack and corrective makeup in case I experienced any bruising. I highly recommend!

I see Carole who is one of the aestheticians at Dr. Godwin's office. She is very knowledgeable and my skin always feels wonderful after her facials. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. They also carry great skincare products.

I'm in my forties now and have always wanted to get a face lift. People sometimes give plastic surgery a bad rap, but with a great surgeon you have nothing to worry about. That is why I'm so happy to have found Dr. Godin. He is a true expert in his field and his reputation exceeds him! My face lift looks amazing, natural and I get so many compliments. Thank you Dr. Godin!

Dr. Godin was recommended to me by a friend several years ago when I was interested in trying Botox and lip filler for the first time. I walked into a relaxing atmosphere and was greeted by very friendly and accommodating staff. Dr. Godin is very knowledgeable and took his time explaining to me what he thought would be best to keep a natural appearance but still achieve the results I wanted. He truly is a master of his craft and I always leave his office feeling like a confident and enhanced version of myself!

My eyebrow lift results are looking amazing 3 weeks post surgery. My wife says that there is a gentle and youthful improvement, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Dr. Godin and team for taking care of me so well. You are a wonderful doctor and I recommend all my friends to you!
