1. No dental work within 2 weeks of treatment, as it increases the risk of infection. The bacteria in your mouth can thrive on hyaluronic acid (filler), potentially causing infection. Watch for symptoms like warmth, swelling, redness, or pain and contact your provider if you experience any.
2. Avoid sleeping on your side for 2 weeks post-treatment to prevent flattening the product and developing a ‘pillow face.’
3. Steer clear of vaccinations around the time of fillers. While we encourage timely vaccinations, it’s essential to separate them from filler appointments by at least 2 weeks to ensure safety.
4. Keep in mind that swelling may persist for up to 6 weeks, especially in the tear troughs. Opt for a gradual and low-dose approach when deciding on fillers to manage expectations.
5. Understand that fillers won’t address poor skin quality or lift sagging skin/fat pads. They’re effective for correcting volume deficits or replacing lost volume. Combining various modalities like Botox, fillers, lasers, RF microneedling enhances patient satisfaction and results according to research.

As we age, our skin's collagen production decreases (check our post from a few days ago for a good graph on this!). This loss is what results in wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. Retinol is the superstar of anti-aging skincare. How does it work? By stimulating cells deep below the surface to produce more collagen and speeding up the skin's regenerative process. This increase in collagen production and the rate of cell turnover reduces visible signs of aging for a smoother, brighter complexion. Retinol also helps to stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color. Additional benefits include fading age spots and softening rough patches of skin.

“What is botox resistance and how can I avoid it?”
Let’s start with the basics: Botox is a brand under the company Allergan. We tend to generalize botox as the umbrella term for all neurotoxins, when in reality it is one of many, such as: Dysport®, Nuceiva®, and Xeomin® Botox just happens to be the first botulinum toxin to be marketed.
Botox resistance is when you build up antibodies against the botulinum toxin, or happen to metabolize the BOTOX drug exceptionally quickly (if you have a naturally quick metabolism or are an extremely active individual, you might find that you go through Botox quicker). For these patients, Botox injections might provide underwhelming results or have little to no effect at all.
It’s important to note that TRUE Botox resistance is fairly rare. While Allergan clinical trials showed that close to 2% of patients developed any “neutralizing antibodies” to the drug, we are seeing an increase in resistance due to increased exposure.
If you have spent years getting anti-wrinkle injections only to recently start noticing that they aren’t working so well anymore, you might have developed an immune response to botox that reduces its effectiveness.
Keep in mind, just because you’re not noticing the same results at age 40 as you did at age 30, doesn’t mean you’re immune. As we age, our anatomy changes which can limit the effect we want.
If you feel that Botox no longer gives you the results you want, or are just interested in seeing if you prefer another ant-wrinkle treatment, we have others to choose from! All work towards the same end goal of smoothing out lines and wrinkles. However, they each contain a different molecular structure, so people may be sensitive to one and less to another.

Necks and aging:
Platysma bands are the vertical cords that appear in the neck as one of the first signs of aging. Look in the mirror and say “eeeee” and you will see these pop.
A recent study suggested that platysma bands are actually caused by the muscular activity during the aging process. Researchers concluded that the activity of the platysma muscle causes these bands and saggy skin then follows.
Treatment: Botox. Botox is injected along the bands to relax the muscle. This improve the appearance of platysma bands.

Have you tried botox? Have any questions? Let’s hear them. We are here to help 💙
As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid slows right down. This leaves skin as well as lips, dehydrated. Lip fillers can replace the lost collagen with additional hyaluronic acid, which will add volume back to the lips, and help you look younger. Re-hydrating the lips and making them appear more youthful.

VITAMIN THERAPY: starting at $125
Vitamin C deficiency has been associated with frequency and duration of colds, along with immune system defects. While colds aren’t usually dangerous in themselves, they can lead to pneumonia and other respiratory diseases, especially for aging individuals. Colds can be an early indicator of gaps in immune function that could leave one vulnerable to a cascade of serious infections.
A deficiency of vitamin C broadly affects the various key aspects of immune function, which include the innate system we are born with, the adaptive system that develops from infancy to young adulthood, the cells that kill invaders, the cells that coordinate those attacks, and even the production of antibodies that fight known infections.
Stress is another major trigger for reducing vitamin C levels, leaving the affected individuals vulnerable to infection at precisely the time that stronger immune support is needed.
