Look Better, Feel Better...
Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins, such as Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, are popular treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles and lines. By targeting the underlying muscles, these injectables effectively reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.
Facial Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite are the most popular. They help improve the appearance of areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. Treatments are minimally invasive with immediate results and little downtime.
Lower Eyelids
Dermal fillers for the tear troughs can effectively address the hollow, darkened areas beneath the eyes that result from aging or fatigue. The treatment is minimally invasive and performed in-office with immediate results and minimal downtime. However, due to the sensitive nature of the tear trough area, it is crucial to seek treatment from an experienced, skilled injector.
Nasal Labial Folds
Dermal fillers are used to address nasolabial folds, the deep lines that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth. By injecting fillers into these folds, volume is restored and the appearance of these lines is softened, resulting in a smoother, more youthful look. This non-surgical procedure is quick, with minimal downtime and immediate results.
Plump Lips and Flips
Dermal fillers are used to enhance the volume, shape, and symmetry of the lips, providing a fuller and more defined appearance. Lip flips, on the other hand, use neurotoxins to subtly enhance the lip’s appearance by relaxing the muscles around the lips, resulting in a slightly more pronounced pout. Both treatments offer immediate results with minimal downtime.
Cheeks
Dermal fillers for the cheeks are designed to restore volume, enhance contour, and provide a youthful lift to the mid-face area. This treatment can reduce the appearance of hollowing or sagging, with results that typically last from 9 to 24 months depending on whether hyaluronic acid or poly-L-lactic acid fillers are used. Downtime is minimal.
Jowls & Jaw Line
Dermal fillers can be used to reduce the appearance of jowls by adding volume and contour to the jawline, creating a smoother transition from the cheeks to the chin (filling the cheeks is usually a prerequisite). Additionally, neurotoxins can be used to soften the jawline by relaxing the masseter muscles, reducing a bulky or square jaw for a more tapered look. Together, these treatments can help you obtain a more sculpted and balanced facial profile.
Gummy Smile
Neurotoxins are an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the muscles that cause the upper lip to lift excessively when smiling. Lowering the upper lip slightly covers more of the gums and creates a more balanced, natural smile. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with results lasting several months. This treatment offers a simple solution for patients looking to enhance their smile without surgery.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone. A device is used to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. It can be combined with stem cell serums or PRP to reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, leading to smoother, firmer skin. In-office microneedling ensures precision, safety, and optimal results.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment used to improve skin texture and tone by applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This process encourages the growth of new, smoother skin and can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage. We use mild to medium strength acids to obtain brighter skin with a subtle glow.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile, surgical scalpel. This process reveals smoother, brighter skin and helps improve the absorption of skincare products and smoother application of makeup. It leaves the skin feeling soft and radiant with an immediate glow.
Non-Invasive BBL
Dermal fillers for a non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) involves injecting Sculptra or hyperdilute Radiesse to enhance the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks. This minimally invasive procedure enhances the buttocks without the need for surgery or extensive downtime. Speed and longevity of results dependent on the product used.
