Fear mongering- let me tell you why I’m over it💁‍♀️

Fear mongering is EVERYWHERE - but it’s especially prominent in the aesthetic community. The beautiful thing about social media is everyone has an ability to form an opinion about something-good or bad. But lately - all I see are negative opinions on certain aesthetic treatments- such as PDGF, microneedling with radio frequency aka Morpheus 8, under eye filler, Botox under the eyes, full facial balancing, using multiple syringes vs one; identifying other areas that might need attention, lasering in the summer, etc.

The truth is- all of these have merit but are not necessarily the truth. The patterns I have noticed with this fear mongering is typically the provider speaking negatively about something has no experience with it- that makes them feel uncomfortable- so they step on their soap box.

Did you know that all fillers and biostimulators have the ability to cause nodules? Not just PDGF. Did you know that PDGF is currently FDA approved for both dental and orthopedic use?

Did you know that radiofrequency with microneedling done in the hands of an appropriately trained clinician can lead to outstanding results- more so than just stand alone treatments without radiofrequency?!

Did you know that facial balancing doesn’t necessarily mean 7 plus syringes- it means assessing the face and treating appropriately for balance/harmony.

Could you imagine when neuromodulation first came into fruition (back before social media existed) the amount of negative thoughts it must’ve sparked- what inject a muscle with botulism?! Are you crazy?! Now it’s accepted worldwide and renowned for its ability to treat not only wrinkles but over spastic muscles.

As an aesthetic community- we need to do better! We need to step back and assess why we feel it’s necessary to look down on another providers opinions. We are ALL after the same goal- to improve our patients aesthetic outcomes safely and effectively.

So before you jump on the fear mongering train- I implore you to take a step back, research it for yourself and if your uncomfortable with it- don’t do it- or just wait it out! ✌🏻

Non surgical camouflage technique!

This was a challenging case. My lovely client came in wanting to improve her under eyes, nasolabial folds and marionettes.

We discussed several options including my recommendations of a lower bleph. She was not interested in having surgery- so we opted to camouflage the under eye bags using Redensity and a 25 gauge cannula. Results are not perfect but there is definite improvement!

I then placed Restylane Lyft in her nasolabial folds, piriform, and marionettes (using a combination of cannula and fine needle work).

*patient has medical grade makeup on (approved for post treatments) which accounts for the different skin coloring.

Our 1400th client is coming in today!🥹

This is such a surreal pinch me moment and the best way to end my week!

When I wanted to open an aesthetic practice 20 years ago- I met with so many people at Cary, Pines, TAMC- only to get the door closed in my face. I was met with so many no’s and “that’s not going to do well up here.” The heart break and disappointment washed over me like nothing else.

But the only person I did not give up on- was me. I knew I could do this. I knew it was going to be successful. It has been and always will be my calling.

Sure- I’ve had some miss-steps along the way but I’ve had some huge achievements and I’ve met some really nice people in my journey. Mentors that have become friends and clients that have become friends.

This journey has not been easy but I’m here. I’m here getting to work in the most AMAZING beautiful clinic (that used to be a Pizza Hut🫢!) I get to work with a dream team that compliments each other not competes. A space that was curated out of a dream.

And to think that we helped 1400 clients feel better about themselves makes my heart want to explode!

So from the bottom of my heart- THANK YOU! Thank you for supporting and believing in my little clinic. We are only successful because of you guys!!

And to the younger generation following along - you can do whatever your heart desires. If someone closes a door- look for the window😉! You CAN do it! I’m living proof 💗

Again- I am eternally grateful to all 1400 of you!🙏

Consistency and multiple treatment modalities yields the best results!!

This was all achieved without surgery! Jennia has been an excellent patient of mine. She has been consistent, pro active with her skin health and dedicated to her treatment goals. These photos are 5 years apart🤯. Lighting is different because her first photo was taken at my previous clinic.

She is legit aging like fine wine!

If you want to pause the aging clock like my dear friend here - let’s set up a date!

Beauty trends have been around for years! I think it’s pretty neat to see what people used to use to help anti -age/ beautify their skin back in the day.

There are beauty treatment records stemming back to the days of Cleopatra- where it was rumored she took milk/honey baths for her skin and used crushed beetles/lead for her “make up.”

At least in today’s era we have medical studies and journals to back up our new anti-aging beauty hacks.

Take for example LED red light therapy- its anti-aging benefits work on the cellular level. Red light therapy helps to neutralize free radicals in the body - aiding in slowing down the aging process. It also helps stimulate collagen- reducing fine lines and wrinkles- even hyperpigmentation.

When beauty meets science- it’s a beautiful thing! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for age defying treatments!

Did you know we offer kid facials?! And no they are not anti-aging facials🙄 think nurturing, care and relaxation!

Both our aestheticians have been properly trained to treat our tiniest clients the experience of facial/scalp bliss! Whether it is our new Japanese Head spa treatment or a chocolate facial (an organic cacao blend), your children are sure to have an amazing, nurturing experience.

As a mother of three young girls- there are things that are important to me:

Is it safe? - yes- all our kid facials are formulated with the most gentlest of formulas-safe on even the most sensitive skin. Our products used for kids have zero acids, zero exfoliants, zero retinols. The products used are all organic and even edible (although I don’t think you’d want to eat it😝). You as the parent are also allowed to sit in the room while your child gets their treatment. But warning: you’re likely going to want one too😏!

Our kid facial starts out with a gentle cleanse, warm facial towels, gentle facial massage, chocolate face mask, scalp and arm massage, more warm facial towels (to remove the mask) and a mineral based (NOT chemical) sunscreen application (SPF 50) is applied.

Your child gets to experience next level care and nurturing designed to promote rest, nourishment and self care.

I was never taught self care growing up- and as a result have personally suffered from significant health issues (stemming largely from anxiety).

I think it’s important to teach children self care and self regulation so as adults they can lead healthier lives. They need to know making time for themselves is important and is ok to do so. It’s how we nourish the soul and refill our cups.

Plus it’s just plain clean fun! The kids enjoy it so very much!

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just want to do something special for your little one- we’ve got an amazing experience for them!

Kid facials are $50
Kid Japanese Head spa $75

✨Quality matters✨

Time

Knowledge

Experience

Equipment

Product selection

Aftercare

It all matters in your results. We are not for everyone and everyone is not for us. It’s taken me a long time to realize this.

We are not a budget clinic. We take extreme measures including safety and quality measures to assure you a beautiful/safe outcome. But if you don’t take care of it, maintain or follow aftercare instructions- you will be disappointed.

We cannot stop the aging process. Genetics, lack of follow through, not taking care of your skin all affect the longevity of your treatment.

It’s like paying a body trainer and eating at McDonalds- if you’re not going to follow through with home instructions- don’t waste your money.

But if you’re ready for a commitment; ready to invest in yourself- we will be ready to help you🫶🏻
