Halo or Fraxel for hyperpigmentation and fine lines?
Halo or Fraxel for hyperpigmentation and fine lines?
Dec 6, 2021
The Halo laser is different from traditional lasers because it is the first hybrid, dual-wavelength, fractional laser. It uses one laser to treat the upper layers of the skin’s surface while another laser reaches the deeper layers of the skin.
Halo is ideal for removing dark spots because it is capable of precise, even and safe treatment of a highly targeted area of skin, called the microscopic treatment zone, which maximizes results while the healthy skin surrounding it remains untouched.
Microneedling for 25 years olds. How many treatments will I need? How often can I do it?
Microneedling for 25 years olds. How many treatments will I need? How often can I do it?
Dec 6, 2021
Microneedling is used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues. For best results 3 treatments 4 weeks apart is recommended.
Am I a candidate for chin filler, considering the attached pictures?
Am I a candidate for chin filler?
Nov 23, 2021
Yes. People who would like to better define their jawline, strengthen their chin or fill in wrinkles or lines around the chin are good candidates for chin fillers.
Can I get Botox for nasiolabial folds or is filler better?
Can I get Botox for nasiolabial folds or is filler better?
Nov 18, 2021
Botox does not treat this area, but filler is a great option! Nasolabial fold (and cheek) filler can be used to lift and treat these folds, which occur with aging and volume loss in the cheek area. Filler injections will make the area look smoother and younger, with less of a demarcation between the cheeks and the lower face.
Would PRP microneedling help my skin?
PRP microneedling help my skin?
Nov 4, 2021
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that minimizes the signs of aging and improves the tone and texture of your facial skin. Some doctors in the medical community regard microneedling as the most powerful way to stop the signs of aging and prevent new lines and wrinkles. Microneedling by itself is a wonderful way to heal your skin from the inner layers outward, and, combined with platelet-rich plasma, it works even faster.

PRP therapy is platelets from your own blood that contain a wealth...

Would Botox fix a gummy smile and lips that turn down at the corners?
Gummy smile
Nov 4, 2021
A gummy smile can easily and effectively be treated with Botox. It can relax the muscles in the upper lip and limit the rise of the upper lip when smiling. Two or more units of Botox are injected in the area between the nose and upper lip to reduce the appearance of any “gummy” smile, creating a more appealing and natural smile.

Botox® can also be placed into the muscle that acts to pull the corners of the mouth down, if done in combination with filler this will help to raise the corn...

Would Halo/BBL help with large pores, fine lines, and redness?
Oct 27, 2021
Both HALO™ and BBL™ treatments are minimally invasive procedures that produce customizable results. These treatments can be performed on the same day in order to better address texture, fine lines or discoloration concerns. The combined treatments build off of each other to produce results including smoother skin tone and texture.
Is the P-Shot actually legitimate?
Is the P-Shot legitimate?
Oct 27, 2021
The P-Shot involves taking platelet-rich plasma from your blood and injecting it into your penis. This means your doctor takes your own cells and tissues and injects them into your penile tissues to promote tissue growth and purportedly give you better erections.

The P-Shot provides a 75-80% success rate at improving circulation, health, and strength of erections and can help girth and length for some patients.

Microneedling vs Microneedling RF for Acne Scars. Which would provide more acne scar reduction? (Ph
Microneedling VS Microneedling RF
Oct 7, 2021
Acne scars are tough patches of thick and damaged skin. RF Microneedling is more capable than traditional microneedling in addressing scars as the RF energy breaks up scar tissue better than just needle punctures alone. By delivering the RF energy deeper under the skin, RF microneedling allows for safe targeting of the deep dermis without the risk of damaging the skin surface. This allows for effective tightening of the skin and remodeling of scar tissue. Prior to this innovative...

Achieve a more symmetrical face
Oct 7, 2021
This treatment is a technique that can help give a more V-shaped face and slimmer profile. Botox (or Dysport) for facial slimming is a service for people with a square-shaped jawline or chubbier cheeks. This is a result of having large masseter muscles which can cause the face to look rounder and too square. Botox (or Dysport) injection relaxes the masseter muscle. Over time, the muscle will begin to shrink because it is not moving and being used.

retinoids, Tazorac, and Differin for 7 days before treatment.
Are there any exfoliating/tightening treatments for my enlarged pores, texture and elasticity loss
Are there any exfoliating/tightening treatments for my enlarged pores, texture and elasticity loss after plasma pen?
Jul 26, 2021
A series of Vivace treatments encourages new collagen production, which further aids in skin tightening. Radiofrequency is fantastic because it adds a whole new rejuvenation level to microneedling. It produces more noticeable results faster. The average patient can see positive changes in as few as three treatments
Laser Damage from IPL Treatment. Can I do anything to reverse this?
Laser Damage from IPL Treatment
Jul 26, 2021
A laser peel (resurfacing) treatment can be used to reduce hyperpigmentation.

There are ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers are the most intense, and they involve removing layers of your skin. Non-ablative procedures, on the other hand, target the dermis to promote collagen growth and tightening effects.

Ablative lasers are stronger, but they may cause more side effects. Both destroy elements in your skin to ensure that new skin cells grow back tighter and more toned.

Is my chin too small? Would chin filler benefit me?
Jul 13, 2021
If the shape of your chin is an issue, dermal fillers are a wonderful non-surgical option. These work by injecting hyaluronic acid or collagen-inducing fillers just beneath the skin of your chin. This means that your chin can be reshaped. A chin enhancement can help to balance your face and provide facial symmetry. This can make you feel more confident, and happier with your appearance.
