Get Holiday-Ready: Quick Treatments for a Radiant Look

As we move deeper into November, the holiday season is fast approaching. It’s the perfect time to refresh your look and feel your best for upcoming celebrations. Dramatic improvements are possible—even in just a few weeks—so there’s still time to rejuvenate before the festivities begin. With so many in-and-out options available, you can achieve a fresh, rested appearance that will leave you feeling confident and invigorated this holiday season. Here are some of our top recommendations:

 

Nonsurgical Mini Facelifts for a Subtle Lift

  • Thermage CPT: Achieve tighter, smoother skin and boosted collagen production. This treatment is effective for the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs, and even sagging buttocks. It’s ideal for lifting and firming multiple areas with dramatic results.
  • Exilis Ultra 360: Tighten, tone, and reshape your skin while melting stubborn fat deposits on the face, neck, jowls, abdomen, thighs, “love handles,” hips, and more.

 

Smooth Wrinkles and Tighten Skin

  • Infini: This high-intensity focused radiofrequency treatment reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, and minimizes acne scarring for a more even complexion.
  • Botox or Dysport: Smooth out forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other fine lines for a youthful, refreshed look.

 

Restore Facial Volume

  • Reduce hollowness and restore youthful contours with dermal fillers like Voluma, Radiesse, and Restylane Lyft. These fillers diminish signs of aging and bring back facial fullness.

 

Erase Lines Around the Mouth

 

Why Wait? Glow Into the Holidays!

All of these treatments are nonsurgical and require no anesthesia or downtime. You’ll be back to your busy holiday schedule immediately, looking and feeling your best. Call our office today to schedule your pre-holiday appointment, and let’s get started on making this your most radiant season yet.

Keep Your Beauty Routine on Track This Summer

 

With school out and summer in full swing, your daily routine might feel more hectic than usual. Balancing responsibilities while adapting to a new summer schedule can be challenging for many parents. However, maintaining your personal beauty regimen doesn’t have to fall by the wayside.

 

Summer is the perfect time to take advantage of quick treatments that deliver instant results. One standout option is the Liquid Facelift.

 

As we age, our skin’s structural proteins, collagen and elastin, decrease. This leads to a loss of volume and elasticity in our faces, resulting in wrinkles, lines, and folds. The support that once kept our skin firm and youthful diminishes.

 

The Liquid Facelift can lift and contour your facial features, restoring natural fullness where needed. Using advanced dermal fillers like Voluma, Restylane Lyft, and Restylane Defyne, we offer a pain-free, nonsurgical solution that reduces wrinkles, lines, and folds. This treatment creates a more refreshed and youthful appearance, returning your face to its former smooth and curved state. Best of all, it’s quick and safe, utilizing substances naturally produced by your body.

 

Whether you want to lift your entire face or target specific areas such as under-eye bags, marionette lines, sagging eyelids, jowls, or flattened cheeks, we’ve got you covered. We can even disguise bumps on the nose without the need for surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.

 

For more information about this quick treatment and its immediate results, call our office to schedule a complimentary consultation.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

 

Liquid Facelift: Rejuvenate Your Appearance with Non-Surgical Precision

In the quest for a youthful, rejuvenated appearance, many individuals are turning to innovative non-surgical solutions. Among these, the liquid facelift has emerged as a popular choice, offering remarkable benefits without the need for invasive procedures or extensive downtime.

 

So, what exactly is a Liquid Facelift? Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, which involve incisions and tissue manipulation, a liquid facelift utilizes injectable dermal fillers and neuromodulators to sculpt and enhance facial contours. These injectables, such as Restylane and Botox, are strategically placed to address specific areas of concern, including fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging skin.

 

One of the most significant advantages of a liquid facelift is its versatility. Unlike surgical procedures that offer limited customization, a liquid facelift allows for precise sculpting and tailoring to each individual’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether targeting nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or hollowed cheeks, injectable fillers such as Voluma and Restylane Defyne, can restore lost volume and create natural-looking results.

 

Moreover, the procedure is performed in-office with minimal discomfort and downtime. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, which requires weeks of recovery, the non-surgical approach allows patients to resume their daily activities almost immediately, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. While some minor swelling or bruising may occur at the injection sites, these side effects typically subside within a few days, leaving behind a refreshed and revitalized appearance.

 

The liquid facelift offers a transformative solution for individuals looking to rejuvenate their appearance without the downtime and risks associated with surgery. By harnessing the power of injectable fillers and neuromodulators, this non-surgical procedure can turn back the clock and restore youthful radiance with precision and natural-looking results. If you’re considering a liquid facelift, call us today to discuss your options and embark on the journey to a more youthful, refreshed look.

Beyond the Knife: Non-Surgical Facelift Options for a Youthful Glow

Embracing a vibrant and youthful appearance doesn’t always necessitate going under the knife. Thanks to advancements in non-surgical facelift options, achieving a lifted and rejuvenated look has become more accessible than ever. Let’s explore some non-surgical treatments that are transforming the landscape of facial rejuvenation.

 

Fraxel: Resurface for Radiance

 

Fraxel, a fractional laser treatment, stands out as a powerful tool for addressing multiple signs of aging. By stimulating collagen production and targeting specific areas of the skin, Fraxel promotes a smoother texture, diminishes fine lines, and reduces pigmentation irregularities. The result? A refreshed and radiant complexion without the need for invasive procedures.

 

Thermage and Exilis: Tighten and Tone

 

For those seeking skin tightening without surgery, Thermage and Exilis Ultra 360 offer non-invasive solutions. These radiofrequency treatments deliver controlled heat deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening loose or sagging areas. Thermage and Exilis are particularly effective for enhancing the contours of the face, creating a lifted and youthful appearance.

 

Infini: Precision in Rejuvenation

 

Infini, a high-intensity focused radiofrequency (RF) treatment, takes a precise approach to facial rejuvenation. By delivering RF energy through microneedles, Infini targets specific layers of the skin, promoting collagen synthesis and tightening. The result is improved skin elasticity, reduced fine lines, and a more lifted facial contour.

 

Fillers: Restore Volume and Soften Lines

 

Dermal fillers, such Restylane Defyne, Restylane Lyft, Juvederm Voluma and Belotero, offer a non-surgical solution for replenishing lost volume and softening facial lines. By strategically injecting fillers into areas that need a lift or added fullness, practitioners can sculpt the face, addressing concerns like nasolabial folds and sunken cheeks with natural-looking results.

 

Botox: Smooth Away Wrinkles

 

Botox, a household name in non-invasive cosmetic procedures, excels in smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement. By temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, Botox minimizes the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, contributing to a more relaxed and youthful expression.

 

In the realm of non-surgical facelift options, the choices are diverse and exciting. Non-surgical treatments empower individuals to achieve a youthful glow without the need for invasive procedures. Your journey to radiant, rejuvenated skin starts beyond the knife, embracing the artistry of non-surgical facial enhancement. Schedule your appointment today, and I’ll design a treatment plan to help you look best without surgery.

When to Start Injectables: A Guide to Timing Your Cosmetic Journey

Injectable treatments like Botox and dermal fillers have become increasingly popular for achieving a youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for surgery. But when is the right time to start considering injectables? The answer depends on various factors, including your age, skincare goals, and personal preferences.

 

In Your 20s:

Starting early can be a proactive approach to skincare. In your 20s, you may begin to notice the first signs of fine lines, especially around the eyes and on the forehead. Some individuals opt for preventative Botox or Dysport treatments during this time to reduce the development of more pronounced wrinkles later on. Additionally, dermal fillers can be used to enhance facial contours or add volume if desired.

 

In Your 30s:

As you enter your 30s, you may see more noticeable signs of aging, such as deeper lines and a loss of facial volume. This is a common time for people to consider injectables to refresh their appearance. Botox can smooth out dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers such as Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Defyne can restore volume and address early signs of sagging skin.

 

In Your 40s and Beyond:

By your 40s, the natural aging process becomes more apparent. Many individuals choose to embrace injectables to maintain a youthful look. Botox and Dysport can effectively target wrinkles, while dermal fillers can provide a subtle lift and restore facial contours. Combining these treatments can yield impressive results while still appearing natural.

 

The decision of when to start injectables is a personal one, and it’s important to note that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond, injectables can be a valuable tool in your skincare arsenal, helping you maintain a youthful and refreshed appearance. Ultimately, the right time to start is when you feel it’s right for you and your individual skincare journey.

Say Goodbye to Your Nose Bump: The Magic of Fillers

Your nose is a prominent feature of your face, and for many, it plays a crucial role in their self-esteem. A nose bump, often referred to as a dorsal hump, can result from excess bone or cartilage on the bridge of the nose. This can give the nose an uneven, unbalanced appearance.  A nose bump or hump can be a source of insecurity, but there’s a non-surgical solution that can help: fillers. Fillers, such as Radiesse and Restylane Defyne can effectively treat a nose bump and provide a more harmonious facial profile.

 

There are many benefits to using fillers like Radiesse or Restylane Defyne for nose bumps.  One of the most significant benefits of using fillers for a nose bump is that it’s a non-surgical procedure. Unlike rhinoplasty, which involves surgery, anesthesia, and downtime, filler injections are a quick, in-office treatment with minimal discomfort and no need for anesthesia.  As the filler is injected, it smoothes out the hump, providing a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.  We are also able to tailor the treatment to achieve the exact look you desire. The amount and placement of filler are adjusted to address your specific concerns and achieve a natural-looking result. And, you’ll be able to resume your daily activities immediately.

 

Injectable fillers offer a non-surgical and effective solution to treat a nose bump, providing a more harmonious facial profile and boosting your self-confidence. If you’re considering this treatment, call us today to discuss your options and create a customized plan to achieve the nose you’ve always wanted.

The Skin Cycle: What You Can Expect, Decade by Decade

Your skin has a natural plan. With each year that passes, it undergoes assorted stressors, some that it has experienced before and some that are brand new. And it reacts to these changing stimuli in different ways, subtle and not-so. Unfortunately, while you may not feel any older, your skin has another story to tell. Aging plays tricks on its delicate composition. But do not despair–you have strategies at your disposal for warding off the first signs of attack. The trick: know what’s coming and take as many precautions as possible.

 

Here is what you can expect:

 

In Your 20s and 30s: Get ready. Hormonal changes may happen during this time, causing adult acne. We can treat it, though, with our Pulsed Dye Laser. Also, you may notice hints of wrinkles (yes, they begin early) and pigmentation. Botox and Dysport will help minimize lines, keeping them from setting and deepening. Catching them early is more effective than waiting until they are extreme. Fraxel DUAL and IPL will help reduce discoloration, brown spots and freckling.

 

In Your 40s: Your skin may begin to lose its luster, appearing dull and rough. Also, age spots may appear since the skin can’t repair itself as quickly or as completely as it used to. You may notice, too, that your skin doesn’t glow as much, since skin cell shedding begins to slow down. But, we can brighten and smooth out your skin with Clear+BrilliantFraxel DUAL and Fraxel Repair laser treatments. Your skin tone will look even, and wrinkles and pores will diminish. During your 40s, wrinkles may be deeper than they were before. Dermal fillers such as RestylaneRestylane DefyneRestylane RefyneRestylane LyftRestylane SilkVolumaJuvedermBelotero and Radiesse, and neurotoxins, such as Botox and Dysport, are effective in reducing the appearance of these lines and folds.

 

In Your 50s and 60s: Subtle lines may have turned into deep wrinkles and previously taut skin may have begun to sag. Declining collagen and elastin levels cause your skin to become thinner and more fragile. As the underlying skin structure is less supported, the skin falls down and droops. We have many treatments, such as Infini, that can work wonders to resurface skin and stimulate collagen production, which will help lift up and plump your skin, nonsurgically. The treatments will also help to brighten and lighten any discoloration caused by sun exposure or simple aging.

 

At all times of your life, remember to do what you can to preserve your skin’s natural beauty. Wear plenty of sunscreen (and not only in the summer), avoid the sun as much as possible, steer clear of smoking and cleanse and moisturize often.

With expert precision and careful attention to your facial anatomy, we’ll help you look as young and refreshed as possible. Your recovery time will be minimal, too.

Your Pre-Holiday Beauty Boost

When the calendar flips to November, the holidays aren’t far behind. It’s the season for looking your best, and dramatic results are possible, even in just a few weeks.

There is still time for many quick in-and-out treatments that will make all the difference in your appearance. Instantly, you’ll look fresh and rested, and you’ll feel invigorated, too…just the right recipe for the holiday season.

Here are a few suggestions for the upcoming weeks…

Try a nonsurgical mini facelift that will tighten skin and boost collagen production. With Thermage CPTwe can treat the skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs and sagging buttocks. It’s the most effective lift treatment for a multitude of concerns, and the results are dramatic. Or, you can try an Exilis Ultra 360 treatment, which tightens, firms and tones loose and sagging skin and reshapes and melts stubborn fatty deposits anywhere on your face and body. Popular areas treated with Exilis include the face, jowls, neck, “love handles,” “bra fat,” abdomen, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Minimize lines and boost volume in your lips with Restylane Kysse, the latest filler for adding shape and definition to your mouth area.

Reduce wrinkles and tighten skin with Infini, a high intensity focused radiofrequency treatment that’s also terrific for minimizing acne scarring.

Restore facial volume with dermal fillers such as VolumaRadiesse and Restylane Lyft. These will reduce hollowness and diminish lines that have formed with age.

Smooth out forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet with Botox or Dysport.

Fill in smile lines, marionette lines or nasolabial folds (lines that stretch from the outer edge of the nostrils to the outer tip of the lips) with Restylane DefyneRestylane RefyneJuvedermRestylane or Radiesse.

All of these quick treatments are nonsurgical, requiring no anesthesia or downtime. You can be back in full swing immediately, looking younger and feeling that way, too.

Call our offices this week to schedule a pre-holiday appointment.

See you soon.

 

September, Seriously

Fall is the time for getting back to work and hitting the books. With vacation time behind us, we tend to become more serious in general about our day to day lives and responsibilities. An important part of every day is how we feel, with happiness being the overwhelming goal for many people. When we are happy, we typically do better–at work, at home, at school, and everywhere else.

 

How we feel about ourselves determines, in no small part, how happy we are. The more assured in our abilities, the more secure in our emotions, the more enthusiastic about the experiences we have, the happier we seem to be. How content we are with our appearance also plays a role in our overall well-being. It is an old adage–”Look good, feel good”–but I think that it is true.

 

We can help bring it to life for you, and now is a good time to start, or to begin again. Fall is self-improvement time, the perfect season for getting serious about making subtle changes that will enhance your natural good looks and your confidence.

 

Here is what we recommend for this month:

 

Lift Your Spirits, and Your Skin: Using advanced dermal fillers such as JuvedermRadiesseRestylaneRestylane DefyneRestylane Refyne, Restylane Kysse and Restylane Lyft, we can lift and contour facial features, restoring your natural fullness exactly where you need us to. Nonsurgical and virtually pain-free, this “liquid facelift” can reduce wrinkles, lines and folds, create a more rested and fresh look, and return your face to its curved former self.

 

Sometimes, we “lift” the entire face; sometimes, we target specific spots, such as bags under the eyes, marionette lines, sagging eye lids, jowls and flattened cheeks. We can even disguise bumps on the nose, a method that will keep you out of the operating room and free of anesthesia, recuperation and downtime.

 

No More Turtlenecks: Particularly effective for this area, Infini microneedling is a treatment for boosting your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which are two of the most important substances for keeping your skin plump and youthful. Tiny needles, ones that are much smaller than the needles we use with dermal fillers, penetrate the top layer of your skin, triggering your body to create the new collagen and elastin. Results may include improved texture and firmness, and I’ve seen terrific success in the reduction of acne scarring, pore size and stretch marks.

 

Say Eye: Touted as the first nonsurgical facelift, Thermage CPT will actually transform skin all over your body. The Thermage CPT thermal lift will tighten loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs and even your sagging buttocks. Thermage CPT, one of the most effective lift treatments for a multitude of concerns, yields dramatic results without incisions and recuperation.

 

In the eye area, for instance, Thermage CPT reduces “hooding,” improves texture, and tones and softens fine lines and crow’s feet. The treatment is a safe, effective and unique option for “eyelid rejuvenation.” The Body Shape procedure is ideal for men and women who are looking to help firm sagging skin and reduce unwanted bulges that dieting and exercise alone cannot seem to change.

 

Shape a Better You: SmartLipo Triplex is a minimally invasive method for removing unwanted fat and sculpting areas of the body that you’d like to change. A laser treatment that virtually melts fat cells and suctions them away, the Triplex technology is updated from the original SmartLipo system in that it uses three wavelengths of laser light and yields better fat removal, tighter skin and high-definition body sculpting capabilities.

 

Call our office for a complimentary consultation, and we’ll help devise a treatment plan just for you.

Tracking Changes In Your Skin

It seems that summer just began and now, Labor Day is around the corner. The time goes quickly, and while you may not feel any older, your skin has another story to tell. Aging plays tricks on the delicate composition of your skin. The best way to ward off the signs of stress is to know what is ahead and take as many precautions as possible.

 

Here is what you can expect:

 

In Your 20s and 30s: Get ready. Hormonal changes can happen during this time, causing adult acne. We can treat it, though, with our Pulsed Dye Laser. Also, you may notice the first signs of wrinkles and pigmentation. Botox and Dysport will help minimize lines, keeping them from setting and deepening. Fraxel DUAL and IPL will help reduce discoloration, brown spots and freckling.

 

In Your 40s: Your skin may look dull and rough, and age spots may appear since the skin can’t repair itself as quickly or as completely as it use to. You may notice that your skin is beginning to lose its youthful glow as skin cell shedding begins to slow down. But, we can brighten and smooth out your skin with Fraxel DUAL and Fraxel Repair laser treatments. Your skin tone will look even, and wrinkles and pores will diminish. During this time, wrinkles may be deeper than they were before. Dermal fillers such as RestylaneRestylane DefyneRestylane LyftRestylane RefyneRestylane SilkVolumaJuvedermBelotero and Radiesse, and neurotoxins, such as Botox and Dysport, are effective in reducing the appearance of these lines and folds.

 

In Your 50s and 60s: You may notice that subtle lines have turned into deep wrinkles and previously taut skin has begun to sag. Declining collagen and elastin levels cause your skin to become thinner and more fragile and the underlying skin structure to be less supported. Lasers such as Fraxel Repair and Fraxel Dual can work wonders to resurface skin and stimulate collagen production, which will help lift up and plump your skin, nonsurgically. They will also help to lighten any discoloration caused by sun exposure or simple aging. Loose and sagging skin can be tightened with radiofrequency treatments like Infini and Exilis Ultra 360.

 

At all times of your life, remember to do what you can to preserve your skin’s natural beauty. Wear plenty of sunscreen (and not only in the summer), avoid the sun as much as possible, steer clear of smoking and cleanse and moisturize often.
