Skin Rejuvenation

Morpheus 8 is a groundbreaking non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that tightens skin, reduces wrinkles, and enhances natural beauty. By targeting deeper layers of the skin, it stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

For patients undergoing dry eye treatments, we incorporate Meibography to assess meibomian gland function and IPL therapy to treat skin conditions such as rosacea, which often contribute to dry eye symptoms.

Radiofrequency-Forma-I and Morpheus 8-Eye stimulates collagen and elastin with skin and restructures/rejuvenates the Meibomian glands. Forma-I helps improve tear film quality: RF therapy helps to liquify the hardened, blocked meibomian gland secretions, allowing for improved tear filmquality and reduced evaporation.

Our CO2 Lift Mask plays a crucial role in preparing the skin before procedures by creating a hypoxic transdermal effect, promoting cellular homeostasis, and reducing inflammation. Following Morpheus treatments, we use the CO2 mask to enhance results and implement a post-treatment regimen of high-quality supplements, including collagen, peptides, and vitamin C, to naturally optimize collagen production. Additionally, we utilize exosomes (stem cell-plant based treatment) instead of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to amplify collagen and elastin production—delivering three times the benefits of PRP without the need for blood draws and extra processing steps.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I first started seeing Dr. Castro when I came to him for chronic styes, and eye dryness. My styes were long lasting, painful, and reoccurring. After seeing Dr. Castro on several occasions for treatment of styes and rosacea using Intense Pulsed Light, I no longer have recurring styes, eye dryness or rosacea.The treatment was very tolerable and non-invasive with no downtime. Not only have the styes stopped occurring, but my skin has improved cosmetically due to the IPL treatments. These treatments have permanently fixed my dry eye, redness caused by rosacea, and I am very thankful to no longer be struggling with chronic styes. Dr. Castro was extremely understanding, provided patient education, and comfortability during each treatment of IPL. I highly recommend Dr. Castro and his team for any issues in relation to dry eyes, styes and rosacea.

Approaching 47 years old I noticed that aging had kicked in on my face. While I was going to be 47 I sure as hell didn’t want to look like it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the best genes for amazing skin and on top of that I have abused the hell out of my skin since I was 16. Sunscreen was not really my thing when I lifeguarded at a young age and whenever I played golf out in the AZ sun. Knowing that PrimaVitale had an Inmode machine that could perform micro needling and radio frequency, a Morpheus 8 procedure, to help tighten the skin and rejuvenate it, I had Dr. John Castro perform 3 treatments with exosomes over a 3 month period. It’s been about 5 months since my first treatment, and I have men and women come up to me all the time complimenting me on my skin. Women constantly are enamored by my skin tone and want to know what my skin regiment is and the products I use while the men have been enamored with my jaw line. Going through 3 treatments with exosomes has definitely help chisel my jaw line and improve the texture of my skin. I am not going lie as the procedure is a bit painful, but the results have been worth it. In addition, on my neck and jaw line I told Dr. Castro to perform the procedure at the maximum strength allowed so I could get the best results, which is usually a little stronger than what most people opt for.

I highly recommend Dr. John Castro for laser eye and skin treatments, and for all eye care needs. I went to Dr. Castro to get my eyes checked and get new prescription eyeglasses. The exam was thorough and he is so knowledgeable about eyes that I ended up signing up for laser and facial treatments to help unclog my oil glands in my eyelids. They were so clogged that some were not working at all. My vision was rather hazy because my eyes were always so dry. After receiving 4 spa-like treatments, not only are my oil glands working and my vision much clearer, but I received the added benefit of healthy, glowing skin, with much less rosacea! I received compliments, even from nurses, on what beautiful skin i have, which is a first for me! My husband is amazed that I’m willing to leave the house without putting makeup on, because my skin looks so good, another first! Very beneficial and worthwhile treatments.

I had originally seen an optometrist at another Target Optical and did not have a good experience. Fast forward four months, and I’m having dry eye problems that’s affecting my vision. I made an appointment at Target Optical-Arrowhead and was seen by Dr. John Castro. What a wonderful experience!! He was kind, listened to my description of what eye symptoms I was having, and was quickly able to assess and diagnose my eye condition. I have blepharitis that caused clogged tear ducts and dry eyes. I was able to visit his office three times before my upcoming wedding to utilize IPL and radio frequency treatments to unclog my tear ducts and make my eyes look and feel so much better. Within weeks of using his prescription eye drops, nightly blepharitis eye wipes, skin masks, IPL treatment, and radio frequency treatment, my eyes are now healthy with better vision than before! If you have dry eyes and want to be seen and treated by an optometrist that genuinely cares for his patients, please see Dr. Castro.
