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!
How Juvederm Voluma Can Enhance Your Appearance
As we age, one of the most noticeable changes in our appearance is the loss of volume in our cheeks. This can lead to a tired, sunken look and can make wrinkles and sagging skin more pronounced. Fortunately, Juvederm Voluma, a popular hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, offers a non-surgical solution to restore volume and rejuvenate your face. Here’s how Juvederm Voluma can improve your appearance:
1. Restores Lost Volume
Juvederm Voluma works by replenishing lost volume in the midface area. As we age, the natural fat pads in our cheeks diminish, leading to a hollowed appearance. Voluma adds instant volume, giving your cheeks a fuller, more youthful look. Its thick, smooth consistency makes it ideal for this purpose.
2. Enhances Facial Contours
Well-defined cheekbones are a key aspect of an attractive and balanced face. Juvederm Voluma can enhance your natural bone structure, creating a more sculpted and contoured appearance. This improvement can lead to a more harmonious facial profile, enhancing your overall look.
3. Lifts Sagging Skin
Volume loss in the cheeks can cause the skin to sag, leading to jowls and deeper nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth). By adding volume to the cheeks, Juvederm Voluma can lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging and smoothing out these lines.
4. Provides Natural-Looking Results
Juvederm Voluma is known for its ability to integrate smoothly with the skin, providing natural-looking results. The hyaluronic acid in Voluma attracts and retains moisture, ensuring that the treated areas remain plump and hydrated. This leads to a subtle enhancement that looks and feels natural.
5. Immediate and Long-Lasting Effects
One of the benefits of Juvederm Voluma is that it provides immediate results. You’ll notice a difference in your appearance right after the treatment, with full results typically visible within a few days. The effects of Voluma can last up to 24 months, making it one of the longest-lasting HA fillers available.
Juvederm Voluma is an effective way to combat signs of aging and enhance your natural beauty. By restoring lost volume, enhancing facial contours, lifting sagging skin, and providing natural-looking results, Voluma can significantly improve your appearance. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to achieve a youthful, refreshed look, Juvederm Voluma may be the perfect option for you.

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.

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.

Cheek to Cheek
You may not notice it right away, but cheeks tend to flatten as you get older. It’s typically a less obvious sign of aging, but if you see a change in contour, it could be time for an easy fix.
Sometimes, the natural curve of your cheek is lost, causing your skin to droop and your profile to lose definition. The shape of your cheeks has a huge impact on the look of your entire face. So, if you’re not happy with any changes to your cheek area, you may not feel so terrific in general. With a simple dermal filler, we can restore youthful fullness, in a natural and subtle way.
Previously, aging cheeks were corrected with invasive traditional surgery that tightened the overlying skin and lifted the deeper soft tissues. Now, such extensive procedures are not at all necessary. Juvederm Voluma XC, an injectable filler, can produce the same result, providing a lift that is free of incisions, anesthesia and recuperation time.
Juvederm Voluma XC is an FDA-approved filler that instantly adds natural-looking volume to the cheeks. It is made from a naturally occurring complex sugar, and studies have shown that results may last as long as two years after treatment.

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+Brilliant, Fraxel 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 Restylane, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Lyft, 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: 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.
