Some people think of lip filler as a treatment to make lips larger and much fuller. In some cases, the right product, when administered expertly, can add a hint of fullness but can make the lips appear much more youthful and hydrated. ✨💋

At Blue Water Spa, many of our guests are interested in subtle, natural looking results. This beautiful guest had a result that is a noticeable improvement, but not one that screams “I’ve had lip filler”. Instead, just as she requested, Catherine NP created a subtle change that gave her an overall more youthful appearance, but no one can put their finger on exactly what that change was.

To say she is happy is an understatement. Should she elect to have more filler at any time, she can do that. But starting conservatively is the choice of many of the guests at Blue Water Spa. This guest was also pleasantly surprised to learn that lip filler doesn’t need to be painful. Nor does one have to hide away with bruises and excessive swelling. If you’ve been holding off on filler or any aesthetic service, please come visit Blue Water Spa. We will listen to your goals and create a plan for your unique anatomy that will make you look and feel your most beautiful.

In a recent episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver exposed the shocking practices happening in so-called “medspas” across the country. From unqualified providers and absent Medical Directors to unsafe shortcuts taken in the name of profit, the segment pulled back the curtain on an industry that’s growing fast but not always ethically.

Thank you to John Oliver and the team, for shining a light on dangerous practices that have become so commonplace that many consumers are not aware that these treatments are actual medical procedures with significant consequences when performed by poorly trained people, and / or in facilities that lack appropriate credentials and oversight.

At Blue Water Spa, safety isn’t a trend: it’s our standard. Every treatment is performed under the supervision of our on-site, board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Law. Our team is highly trained, medically supervised, and committed to delivering care that’s not only safe and effective, but ethical.

Your health deserves more than a shortcut.

Let’s kick off ! 🏳️‍🌈

🌈 At Blue Water Spa & Blue Water Plastic Surgery, Pride Month is EVERY month! 🌈 We are proud to be a business where ALL Are Welcome. 👏👏 We embrace individuality and diversity of thought to fuel opportunity for our staff members, guests, and community! We work toward progress, knowing that a more inclusive world is critical to our mission. Not just in a particular month but always!

When Dr. Law and his wife, Kile, moved to Raleigh from CA in 2002, their original marketing team were members of the LGBTQ community (Hi Alan and Barry!) These awesome folks introduced us to the Crape Myrtle Festival, where BWS was the presenting sponsor with who brought the house down as the headliner! 😅

In the early days of Blue Water Spa, there was no and the Laws’ and other members of our community wanted to change that. Blue Water Spa is a proud member of the LGBT Center of Raleigh’s Founders Triangle. We were and are so proud to have helped make the vision of the LGBT Center of Raleigh a reality. Since that time, Blue Water Spa has employed many members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and we see members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the spa daily. 😉

Blue Water Spa is also a proud member of HARMONY, the NC LGBT+ Allied Chamber of Commerce. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Lip filler does not have to be dramatic to create a beautiful result and to balance the face perfectly. This patient was blessed with already full lips, but wanted a bit more projection like she had in her youth. A small amount of hyaluronic acid filler was added to provide a lip profile that is a little more perky and full without looking done. The secret is, there is no secret.

The way to achieve beautiful and truly natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and little to no bruising or swelling is to seek out a medical injector with excellent training and expertise. The Nurse Practitioner injectors at Blue Water Spa receive intensive and ongoing training. They assist Dr. Law in the OR when he performs structural fat grafting procedures, so they see the nuance of proper filling technique.  The long-term training includes onsite training in anatomy and also multi-day cadaver training. This, and being in the OR, provides the ONLY opportunity to actually see under the skin and to understand the true anatomy, including the vascularity, nerves and muscles of the face and lips.  In many states, including NC, any nursing professional or MD can provide aesthetic injections, even if they have zero formal training.  

At Blue Water Spa, our injection team is truly a team, they work collaboratively to ensure that each and every guest receives the safest, most comfortable, and most aesthetically pleasing result. There is always a medical professional available should a guest have a question or a need before or after a treatment. Blue Water Spa providers have no quotas, so there is never any pressure. In fact, the preference is to start slowly and build up. It’s much easier to add more filler than to dissolve filler. Remember - it’s not the product that is creating the result, it is the provider. Choose a provider with expertise.

 Blue Water Spa has been voted Best Medical Spa in America and NC for a reason. It is our honor to serve our guests. Please reach out for a complimentary consultation at 919-739-3910!
