Nonsurgical Mini Facelifts for a Subtle Lift

- 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
- Treat smile lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds with fillers such as Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm, Radiesse, or Restylane.
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.

Subtle Lip Enhancements for a Natural, Youthful Look
Many of my patients have a simple request when they visit my office: they want to look refreshed without anyone knowing they’ve had work done. One of the most noticeable signs of cosmetic treatment can be overfilled, unnatural-looking lips. That’s why I follow a guiding principle of “less is more”—especially when it comes to lip restoration.
My Approach: Define, Shape, and Add Volume
To achieve naturally youthful lips, I use a three-step process: define, shape, and add volume. This balanced approach ensures subtle changes that deliver a significant visual impact while maintaining a natural appearance.
- Define: I carefully enhance the lip border, particularly the edge between the upper lip and the skin under your nose, to bring back that crisp, youthful definition.
- Shape: Gentle injections are placed in key areas to subtly reshape the upper lip. The natural curve of the lower border and the “Cupid’s bow” are enhanced without overdoing it.
- Volume: For the lower lip, which typically has a uniform shape with a slight increase in volume at the center, I ensure balance from all angles. From the side, your lip won’t appear overly puffy, and from the front, it will have a natural lift and height.
Quick and Convenient Lip Restoration
Lip injections take just a few minutes, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Over time, our lips lose fat and volume, and injections provide an effective way to address these changes. Depending on the filler used, results can last anywhere from several months to a year.
Your Options for Lip Enhancement
We offer a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, including Restylane, Restylane Kysse, Restylane Silk, Belotero, Volbella, and Juvederm, all of which are excellent for achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results.
If you’re looking to restore the lips of your youth, give our office a call to schedule a consultation. Let’s talk about how we can enhance your natural beauty without compromising on subtlety.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Unveiling the Art of Beautiful Lips: Enhance Your Smile with Fillers
Full, well-defined lips have long been associated with youth, sensuality, and beauty. The allure of beautiful lips lies not just in their plumpness but also in their harmony with the overall facial features. For those seeking a subtle yet transformative enhancement, lip fillers such as Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Kysse can help achieve the perfect pout.
Elements of Beautiful Lips:
- Volume and Symmetry: Beautiful lips strike a balance between volume and symmetry. Fuller lips, particularly in the central and vermilion regions, contribute to a more youthful appearance. Symmetry ensures a harmonious and natural look.
- Defined Cupid’s Bow: The Cupid’s bow, the double curve on the upper lip, plays a crucial role in lip aesthetics. A well-defined and slightly accentuated Cupid’s bow contributes to an attractive and alluring lip shape
- Natural Proportions: Beautiful lips align with the natural proportions of the face. The upper and lower lips should complement each other, creating a cohesive and pleasing facial profile.
- Hydration and Smoothness: Healthy, hydrated lips appear more youthful and vibrant. Smoothness in texture adds to the overall allure. Lip fillers can address both volume and hydration concerns.
Transformative Power of Lip Fillers:
Lip fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, offer a non-invasive solution to enhance the beauty of your lips. Here’s how:
- Customizable Enhancement: Lip fillers provide a customizable approach to lip augmentation. Skilled practitioners can tailor the treatment to your specific goals, whether you desire fuller lips, improved symmetry, or enhanced definition.
- Natural-Looking Results: Modern lip fillers are designed for natural-looking results. The goal is not to create artificial or exaggerated features but to enhance your unique beauty while maintaining the natural movement and expressions of your lips.
- Gradual Build up: Lip fillers allow for a gradual build-up of volume. This means you can start with a subtle enhancement and gradually increase volume over subsequent sessions, ensuring you achieve the desired look without a sudden, drastic change.
- Minimally Invasive: Lip filler treatments are minimally invasive, involving simple injections. The procedure is quick, and most individuals experience minimal discomfort. There’s little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
- Versatile Solutions: Lip fillers can address various aesthetic concerns, including volume loss, fine lines around the lips, asymmetry, and lack of definition. The versatility of fillers makes them a versatile tool in achieving your ideal lip appearance.

Restylane Kysse: the Key to Plump, Natural-Looking Lips
Today, achieving fuller, more defined lips has become increasingly popular. Among the array of lip fillers available, Restylane Kysse stands out as a revolutionary product that offers natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Restylane Kysse is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler specifically designed for lip augmentation and enhancement. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and provides volume and elasticity to the skin. Restylane Kysse’s unique formulation offers a soft and smooth gel, making it ideal for enhancing lip volume and contour while maintaining a natural look and feel.
If you’ve been considering enhancing your lips with a natural and effective dermal filler, Restylane Kysse may be the perfect solution for you. Its ability to provide subtle yet significant volume, improved lip contour, and long-lasting results make it a popular choice among those seeking youthful and alluring lips.

The Most Desirable Lips
It’s not hard to notice a beautiful pair of lips. You just recognize them when you see them. But what, exactly, makes them so attractive?
In 2017, a study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery analyzed how lip surface area and top-to-bottom ratio impacted people’s opinion of overall beauty. Researchers showed focus groups a photograph that they then adjusted and found that lips with a 53.5 percent increase in surface area and a 1 to 2 ratio of upper to lower lip were considered the most attractive. Also, lips that made up about 10 percent of the lower third of the face were also deemed to be the most beautiful.
We, of course, when boosting your lip volume, don’t follow any sort of formula. We look at your face and lips and determine the best balance and most natural-looking solution. Using state-of-the-art fillers such as Restylane Kysse and Volbella, we add fullness that you may have lost over time, restoring your appearance to its former youthful look.
If you are interested in plumping your lips or minimizing folds and wrinkles in the lip area, call our office for a complimentary consultation. We’ll explain your options and devise a treatment plan just for you.
See you soon.

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.

Try a nonsurgical mini facelift that will tighten skin and boost collagen production.

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.

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 Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, Restylane Defyne, Restylane 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 Restylane, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Silk, Voluma, Juvederm, Belotero 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.

Lips, Naturally: It’s All About Balance
Many of you have a simple request when you come to my office: you don’t want anyone to know that you’ve been there. One of the biggest giveaways is the overdone lip.
My guiding principle has always been “less is more.” Much more. When it comes to restoring lips, this philosophy is critical. To restore lips to their more youthful selves, naturally, I like to utilize a triple-play: Define, shape and add volume.
To give your lips the appearance that they once had, I carefully use dermal fillers in small specific ways to create subtle changes that provide maximum visual impact. The secret is balance. If any part of the lips is too fat or too thin, the result will affect the entire appearance of your face.
First, I define the edge between the top lip and the skin above it, beneath your nose. Then, I place gentle injections in key spots to reshape and plump the upper lip, keeping it looking natural. The upper lip should have variation across the lower border and a bow across the top.
As for the lower lip, which typically has a uniform shape all the way across with a little extra volume in the middle, I take all angles into account. When I look at your lip from the side, I want to make sure that it isn’t too puffy, and when I look from the front, I like to see some extra height.
Lip injections take only a few minutes, and you should be able to go back to your normal activities right after the procedure.
Lips tend to thin out and lose fat as we get older. A variety of lip injection options are available to take care of your concerns, and the results should last from several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used. We like to use the hyaluronic acid fillers Restylane, Restylane Kysse, Restylane Silk, Belotero, Volbella and Juvederm.
So, call our office to talk about how we can give you back the lips of your youth.
