I have posted on here about my terrible skin care regime growing up and thru the years, In the sun all the time, and just the perks of getting older! I was late to the game as far as anti aging but Im here now and very excited to study, learn and experiment with everything I’ve had training In! I do my 2nd microneedling on myself this weekend!!! ♥️ Im hoping by Easter which will be after my 3rd treatment, others will be able to see my Improvement !!!

How It Works
A handheld device with tiny needles punctures the top layer of skin, creating microscopic channels.
This controlled injury signals the skin to repair itself, boosting collagen and elastin production.
New, collagen-rich tissue forms, leading to smoother, plumper, and more radiant skin over time.
What It Treats
Acne scars and surgical scars, Fine lines and wrinkles, Enlarged pores, Uneven skin tone and texture, and Stretch marks.
The Procedure
A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
A professional uses a pen-like or roller device to create punctures across the treatment area (face, neck, body).
It's generally well-tolerated, with some minor redness, tightness, or flaking expected for a few days.
Results & Expectations
Results develop gradually as the skin heals.
Multiple sessions (e.g., 3-6), spaced a few weeks apart, are usually recommended.
Maintenance treatments may be needed annually.

1st treatment- everything is put into motion to start the improvement!
2nd treatment builds on the first getting you closer to your skincare goals
3rd treatment is when you really start to get excited about your results!!!!

Why some providers will not do less than 32 units on their clients .

Here are the key reasons for this approach:

Ensuring Efficacy and Longevity: Using too few units (under-dosing) may result in lines and wrinkles remaining visible, a weak or minimal improvement, or results that fade much faster than the typical 3-4 months.

A dosage of around 32 units helps ensure the treated muscles are adequately relaxed for a satisfactory duration.

Comprehensive Treatment: A typical full upper-face treatment often uses at least 30-50 units total. For example, standard ranges are 10-30 units for the forehead, 10-25 units for frown lines, and 5-15 units per side for crow's feet. A total of 32 units allows for effective coverage of these multiple areas.

Patient Satisfaction: Under-dosing can lead to patient disappointment and the need for a touch-up appointment soon after the initial treatment, which is inconvenient for the patient and can end up costing more in the long run. Starting with an appropriate, effective dose minimizes these issues.

Muscle Strength and Anatomy: Individual facial anatomy, particularly muscle size and strength, plays a significant role in determining the required dosage. Stronger muscles, which are common in men or individuals with very expressive faces, require more units to achieve the desired effect. A 32-unit minimum helps account for a wide range of individual variations.

Avoiding an Unnatural Look from Under-Dosing: When specific areas are under-dosed, it can sometimes cause surrounding, untreated muscles to work harder, leading to an unnatural appearance or unwanted bulges at the edges of the treated area. Proper dosing across relevant muscle groups ensures balanced, natural-looking results.

Professional Expertise: Experienced injectors develop proprietary dosing protocols based on their expertise to ensure consistent and high-quality outcomes for their patients. A 32-unit minimum may be part of their established protocol for effective treatment.

Ultimately, the goal is to provide a safe, effective, and lasting result tailored to individual needs, which often necessitates a certain minimum amount of product.

I have not Implemented this protocol but I urge my clients to read and consider these key points when deciding how many units they want to get , patient satisfaction is my ultimate goal and if you arent getting the results you want , under treatment may be the reason, I am always happy to visit with you about any concerns or treatment goals!!!!

💋Extend the Life of Your Botox and Filler💋

3 Key Tips for you!

If you want to make the most of your injectables and stretch the time between appointments, there are a few simple but powerful habits that can help boost and maintain your results.

💋1. Prioritize Hydration
Keeping your skin well-hydrated is essential for maintaining the plump, smooth effect of fillers. Hyaluronic acid—a key ingredient in many fillers—is a moisture magnet, and the more hydrated your body is, the better your results will look and last. Aim to drink at least one liter of water each day, and apply a hyaluronic acid serum to your face and neck nightly to keep skin dewy and supple.

💋2. Support Your Skin with Targeted Products
Incorporating skincare that contains peptides can help extend the effects of Botox. These ingredients work to relax facial tension and smooth the appearance of fine lines, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and brows. For best results, apply a peptide-rich serum regularly—especially at night. To prolong lip filler results, a quality lip plumper can help maintain volume. And if you’re not using filler but still want fuller lips, a lip-enhancing system can be a great non-invasive alternative.

💋3. Consider Zinc Before Your Appointment
Zinc plays a crucial role in how well Botox works. Research shows that Botox needs to bind to zinc in the body in order to activate effectively. If you’re low in zinc, you might not get the full benefit of your treatment. Taking a daily zinc supplement for about a week before your appointment may help support better, longer-lasting results.

A Botox lip flip works by injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles around the upper lip (orbicularis oris), temporarily relaxing them so the lip gently rolls outward, creating the illusion of a fuller, more defined pout without adding volume like fillers. This subtle enhancement can make the lip appear larger, improve a "gummy smile," and reduce vertical lines, taking about 3-14 days for full effects, you can get a lip flip every 6-8 weeks!!!💋

Avoiding hot tubs & saunas after botox explained. Some physicians will disagree with this, but when you are Investing time and money Into a product , you want the best longest lasting outcome, so I like to follow the aftercare suggestions to prolong my results as long as possible!!!

Heat, from sources like saunas, hot tubs, and hot showers, is bad for Botox because it can increase blood flow and blood pressure, potentially causing the Botox to disperse from the target area. This dispersion can reduce the treatment's effectiveness and lead to unwanted diffusion, resulting in a less effective or asymmetrical outcome. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid these high-heat environments for at least 24 to 48 hours after your Botox treatment to allow it to settle into the treated muscles.

Why Heat Is Problematic for Botox
Increased Blood Flow and Blood Pressure: Heat causes the blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow and blood pressure in the treated areas.
Botox Dispersal: This elevated blood flow can increase the risk of the Botox product migrating or spreading from its intended injection site to other muscles.

Reduced Effectiveness: When Botox disperses, it becomes less concentrated in the targeted muscles, which can diminish the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

Uneven Results: The spread of the neurotoxin can lead to undesirable outcomes, such as a less effective treatment or unintended muscle weakness, causing a less symmetrical appearance.
Recommended Action
Wait Before Exposure: To ensure the Botox remains concentrated in the muscles, avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, and sun exposure for the first one to two days following your treatment.

Taking zinc supplements for a few days before and on the day of a Botox treatment is a popular practice, with some studies suggesting it can prolong results by about 30%, though the evidence is not conclusive and more research is needed. The recommended dosage is often 50mg daily, taken with food starting four days before the appointment. Before starting zinc supplements, especially high doses, it is important to consult a healthcare provider to ensure safety and avoid potential interactions with other medications.

How Zinc May Help

Botox requires zinc: The botulinum toxin used in Botox is a zinc-dependent protein and needs an adequate amount of zinc to bind to tissues and function correctly, according to Michigan Center for Cosmetic Services.

Increased absorption: Taking zinc with phytase, an enzyme that enhances zinc absorption, was shown in one study to increase the duration and speed of Botox's effects by up to 30%.

Collagen production: Zinc also promotes collagen synthesis, which can further contribute to healthy skin and potentially enhance the skin-smoothing effects of the treatment.

Recommendations for Taking Zinc
Dosage and Timing: A daily dose of up to 50mg of zinc is often recommended, starting four days before the Botox appointment and continuing on the day of the procedure.
Take with Food: It's best to take zinc supplements with food to help prevent nausea, a potential side effect.
Forms: Zinc gluconate, citrate, and picolinate are popular forms with high absorption rates.
