CFL has transformed (the physical plant, itself, as well as its offerings) to meet the growing demands of a different type of client. CFL provides a full service aesthetics practice offering its clients the benefits of such treatments as Liposculpt™ (a proven method for reducing areas of fat that do not typically respond to diet and exercise), Mesolift™ (designed to rejuvenate aging skin) and liquid face lifts (non-invasive aesthetic enhancements using treatments such as Botox® injections and Juvéderm® fillers). Other services include providing a variety of medical grade facial peels, medical grade skin care products, microdermabrasion, permanent makeup and massage therapy, thereby incorporating both medical and spa services under one roof. Additionally, CFL is a fully founded bariatric practice catering to the needs of overweight and obese people, offering individualized weight loss treatment programs.
