(some) aesthetic treatments

when you decide to do something more ‘invasive’ or results oriented, it is so hard to know where to start.

should you jump into botulinum toxin (wait, what?! more on this below) injection?

filler?

chemical peel, may be the way to go?

it is dependent on your desired outcome, your genetics, your budget, where your skin is currently, etc. it is a challenge to know where to begin. with our consultations, we can help you decide what is the best way to get the results you desire, and where to go for the services you are interested in.

but lets discuss some of the more popular treatements;

botulinum toxin, this is the ingredient that is in botox, dysport, and xeomin. It freezes the muscle, so it stops the movement and softens fine lines and wrinkles. This is often used as a preventative and corrective. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, it has been used to help with migraines, and TMJ.

filler is the next thing we will cover, in this short list of options we are covering in this post. there are several different types of fillers. the most popular and available options are usually made with hyaluronic acid. ACID! yes acid. this is a substance that we naturally create in our bodies. it is a lubricator in our bodies natural system. like the toxin we discussed above, it also has several benefits beyond cosmetic. you also can use a topical HA that benefits the skins appearance by attracting water to the skin, leaving the skin looking healthy and hydrated.

now, chemical peels. it is important to understand that there are several different types of chemical peels to choose from. there are chemical peels that are formulated to make you shed skin and there are now chemical formulations that are encapsulated to go directly to the dermis (the deepest layer of our skin) and you have little to no peeling/shedding of skin. which is right for you? lets figure that out over an online, face to face, consultation.

is a botulinum toxin the best for you? filler the way to go? which peel is best for you? maybe all 3 options will be best. this all really depends on what you are looking to achieve. let us help you figure out what the ideal treatment or treatment plan is for you and where you can go in your city to get the best treatment for your unique skin.
