Absolutely! Neuromodulators (aka Botox) are highly effective in addressing the appearance of constant anger or a furrowed brow. A common application is the treatment of the “11 lines” or frown lines, which are vertical lines that may form between the eyebrows. Neuromodulators can be applied to various facial areas to target fine lines and wrinkles, with the most common treatment zones being the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Beyond aesthetic reasons, Botox can also be utilized for concerns such as jaw clenching, jaw slimming, chin dimples, migraines, TMJ and more.

Since its approval for cosmetic use in 2002, neuromodulator treatment has claimed its spot as the number one cosmetic treatment worldwide. Known for its exceptional safety profile, this minimally invasive procedure utilizes very tiny needles for administration. The injection process, the shortest part of the entire appointment, is designed to address concerns about fine lines and wrinkles effectively. However, as with any procedure involving needles, there is a minimal risk of bleeding and bruising. To ensure the best outcome, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed with alcohol before the treatment. To further minimize the risk of bleeding and bruising, it is advisable to avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory medications, or blood thinners for three days before your scheduled treatment. Book a consultation with Renee to discuss any individualized risks and explore the transformative possibilities of neuromodulator treatment for your unique needs!

Despite its popularity as a cosmetic treatment, Botox is a medication that requires precise dosing and measurement. A unit serves as the measurement used by your injector to determine the amount of Botox necessary for optimal results. The required dose is unique to each individual, taking into account factors such as the strength and depth of your muscles, skin quality, and age. Your treatment dose is entirely customized to ensure it aligns with your specific needs and goals. To explore your personalized Botox treatment plan, schedule a consultation with Renee to discover how tailored dosages can enhance your natural beauty and achieve the results you desire.

Dermal filler is a jelly-like substance crafted from hyaluronic acid. Its mechanism involves replacing volume, establishing structure, and filling lines to achieve a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance

If you’re dealing with deep lines around your mouth, both Botox and filler can be effective solutions. As we age, the loss of volume and bone height can accentuate lines in this area. Dermal Filler: To address volume loss, dermal fillers are an excellent choice. These fillers work by restoring volume and smoothing out lines. During your consultation, I will carefully examine the lines around your mouth and surrounding structures to determine the most natural and effective approach for you. Whether Botox or dermal filler is the better option will depend on the specific characteristics of the lines and your desired outcome. Book a consultation to explore the tailored solutions available for achieving a rejuvenated appearance.

The longevity of dermal filler results can vary, typically lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Over time, the body naturally metabolizes and breaks down the filler particles, but traces may persist. If necessary, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve any remaining filler, offering a flexible and customizable approach to your aesthetic journey. During your consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and create a plan that aligns with your desired outcomes and timeline.

My approach to dermal filler prioritizes a gradual and measured strategy to ensure you achieve your desired, natural-looking outcome. In your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique features and aspirations. The amount of filler required depends on various factors, including the specific areas being treated, the depth of facial lines, volume loss, and your desired outcome.

Absolutely! Microneedling is an excellent option for treating acne scars. This procedure works by promoting collagen production and skin cell regeneration. Using a small device with tiny needles, micro-injuries are created in the skin process and stimulate the production of collagen, a protein crucial for the skin’s elasticity, smoothness, and youthful appearance.

Following the microneedling procedure, it’s normal for the skin to exhibit a mild sunburn-like appearance, with redness and slight swelling that can last up to 48 hours. During this initial period, it is highly recommended to avoid sun exposure and apply a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer. This helps keep the skin hydrated, aiding in the healing process. Around the third day post-treatment, any redness and swelling should noticeably diminish, and the skin may start to peel or flake. This peeling is a natural part of the healing process and may persist for up to one week after the procedure. To support optimal healing, you will receive a post-care treatment kit designed to keep your skin adequately hydrated. Adhering to these post-treatment guidelines ensures a smoother recovery and enhances the overall effectiveness of the microneedling procedure.

For optimal results, I suggest around three treatments spaced four weeks apart.
