Are you a Botox connoisseur, but still hesitant to dip into the power of fillers? What’s interesting to me is that filler has been around for 20 years and has evolved even more so than wrinkle relaxers such as Botox. For example, there are now a variety of viscosities of filler that lend well to specific areas of the face that need more movement. What’s even more exciting is that the range and applications of filler are so sophisticated, no one ever has to know. Based on the extensive research about aging that we have today, Botox and filler truly need each other in the journey to maintaining ..read more

When it comes to treatments like CO2 laser, Chemical Peels, Microneedling, or any other skin rejuvenating treatment, the skincare products you use prior to your treatment can make a HUGE difference in the quality of your results. A skin prep routine can help you bring your skin to its most optimal state in order to maximize benefits, effectiveness, and duration. A skin prep utilizes specific ingredients, over a designated time course prior to your treatment. PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation), an overproduction of melanin in the dermis or epidermis, can occur on any skin type, however ..read more

Summertime brings about all kinds of fun events (and I’m about to share with you my favorite event prep). When it comes to weddings, showers, bachelorette parties, backyard bbqs, and vacations there is ONE treatment, in particular, that I never skip myself.

While we’re always available for a complimentary consult, we hope these commonly asked questions help shed some light. Call it a little Aesthetics 101, if you will. ;) FAQs: How long does botox last?

Oftentimes, we have patients calling in asking for “Morpheus 8” when what they really mean is “Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling”. All RF microneedling devices work the same: sterile needles pierce the skin and simultaneously deliver radiofrequency energy. The energy heats the surrounding tissues to create a micro-injury that causes the body to initiate a natural healing response. In addition to creating thicker, firmer skin, microneedling plus radiofrequency energy targeted into the deeper layers of the skin can have a ton of benefits. Moral of the story: PFAM RF Microneedling and Morpheus 8 ..read more

Taking The Fear Out of Fillers Creating a natural, youthful, balanced result with facial balancing fillers. If the term “Filler” scares you, you’re not alone. We’ve all seen images of celebrities (or ran into an old acquaintance) and immediately sense they no longer appear like themselves. You can’t put your finger on it, but you take one glance at them and there’s something unnatural looking about their appearance. That’s why the #1 concern/fear when it comes to fillers is looking “overdone” or “unnatural”. Take a look below at one of our clients where we achieved Facial Balancing:  Faci ..read more

I often say that coming in for an excellent treatment but skimping on your skincare routine, is like going to the gym once a month and eating a poor diet every day. Similarly, chemical peels are an excellent way to rejuvenate and reset your skin, but once you’ve removed that outermost surface layer of your skin (to reveal that buttery soft, smooth, dewy glow) what you do to maintain and support the results is the key to lasting results. That’s why I’m sharing what to do after a chemical peel with tips and essentials. Ensure you are getting the most from your peel journey! What Not to D ..read more
