Early Intervention/Prejuvenation

• Begin maintenance programs in your 20’s and put the brakes on aging before it starts
• Botox^®, injectable fillers, corrective skin care treatments, and sunblock in your 20’s and 30’s
• Judicial treatment when you are young prolongs the need for surgery
• Small enhancements and tweaks maintain naturalness

Lip Enhancements

Introducing Volbella^®

• FDA-approved to provide lip fullness and soften appearance of lines around the mouth with results lasting up to 1 year
• Diminish vertical lip lines (a.k.a. smoker’s lines)
• Accentuate the border of your lips
• Plump up your lips to make them fuller
• Enhance the cupid’s bow (the “M” part of your mid-upper lip)

Needle-less Injections

• New topical form of botulinum toxin (main ingredient in Botox^®) is currently undergoing clinical trials for FDA approval
• Would be used in same areas as Botox^® (forehead lines, in between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet)
• Currently investigating cream for under-the-eyelid fat and gel for the reduction of smile lines
• More anti-aging options for needle-phobes in the coming years

The Liquid Facelift

• Advanced techniques are now available to lift and contour facial features without surgery
• Involves the use of advanced dermal fillers such as Radiesse^®, Sculptra^® and Juvederm^® usually in combination with Botox^® Cosmetic
• Each injectable works in its own unique way to contour specific areas of the face
• Each Liquid Facelift is customized to take into account different facial features and skin types, as well as collagen loss and skin laxity

Fat is the New Skinny

• Volume is lost in the face as we age
• Restoring volume loss is important to maintain a youthful, healthy look

Combination Treatments (1 + 1 = 3)

• Combining treatments allows for a natural, comprehensive result that addresses the different signs of aging
• Often uses injectable fillers, laser resurfacing, and corrective skin care (products, peels, microdermabrasion)

PRP

• Platelets help heal tissue and grow new cells as well as contain active growth factors which can promote hair growth
• Uses own blood, which is processed to only include platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and then re-injected into the face or scalp
• It’s an effective, non-invasive, anti-aging option with minimal recovery and a lasting outcome
• Micro-needling with PRP with the use of the derma pen manually resurfaces for smoother, firmer skin
• Platelet-rich plasma can also be injected into scalp to naturally stimulate hair growth and make existing thinning hair thicker by strengthening hair follicles

Kybella^®

• A non-surgical way to break down submental fat (underneath the chin) with in-office injections
• Contains deoxycholic acid, a natural compound found in the body
• Only to be used for “double chin” area
