Everyone always asks what Sofwave feels like… so I tell patients to raise their hand when they feel the pulse.

In this case, we kept increasing the settings trying to get a reaction… and she still didn’t flinch. 😅

To be fair — Sofwave can definitely get a little spicy in certain spots, usually when we’re treating over areas with bone and not much soft tissue (think forehead or sometimes the cheekbones).

But the vast majority of patients describe the treatment as intermittently uncomfortable at its worst, not painful.

Two things that make a big difference:
❄️ Zimmer cooling — aka your comfort cooling bestie
⚙️ Customized settings based on the patient and treatment area

All while delivering ultrasound energy that stimulates collagen and helps tighten and lift over time.

Kybella has had a bit of a reputation problem over the years.

A lot of that comes down to how it’s performed.

Traditionally, Kybella is injected with multiple needle sticks across the treatment area. In this case, I’m using ultrasound guidance and a cannula technique, which allows me to visualize the tissue and place the product more precisely.

More control.
Better visualization.
A more advanced approach.

So yes… we’re giving Kybella another chance.

Thank you to our favorite for the inspo!! ❤️❤️❤️

Three years at Flora. 🤍

Kristina shared every treatment she’s done since starting her journey with us — and she revealed one big number…

We bleeped it out on purpose. 👀

Now it’s your turn to guess.

✨ HOW TO ENTER:

1. Watch the entire video (yes, we can tell 😉)
2. DM us your guess for her total units (do NOT comment it)
3. Tag a friend in the comments
4. Make sure you’re following us

The person who guesses closest and completes all four steps wins:

🎁 A skincare prize
💉 + A percentage of ‘s total units!

What you’re seeing here are two different wavelengths — doing two very different jobs.

1570 works deeper in the skin. You’ll notice subtle swelling — that’s collagen stimulation happening beneath the surface.

CO2 works more superficially. The white dots you see are controlled micro-injuries that resurface and renew texture.

The beauty of Alma Hybrid is that we’re not locked into choosing just one.

We can use 1570 alone.
CO2 alone.
Or combine them — in whatever ratio makes sense for your skin.

More resurfacing? We can weight it toward CO2.
More collagen stimulation with less downtime? We can favor 1570.
Need both? We layer strategically.

This isn’t a preset treatment.
It’s customized energy — based on your goals, your tolerance for downtime, and your skin’s condition.

Skin doesn’t change overnight.
And meaningful improvement shouldn’t either.

Collagen declines gradually — through time, sun exposure, stress, and natural aging. Texture shifts. Tone becomes uneven. Structure softens.

Laser resurfacing isn’t about instant transformation. It’s about controlled stimulation and giving your skin the signal to rebuild.

That rebuilding happens in phases. Surface refinement first. Structural strengthening later. The real work happens beneath the surface.

This is why we begin in March.

Lower UV exposure. Safer healing. Time for collagen to mature before summer.

If you want a deeper understanding of what’s actually happening after a Hybrid treatment — and why timing matters — we just published a new blog on our website.

March is laser season in Ventura.
If you’re considering resurfacing this year, this is your window.

Full breakdown in our new blog — linked in our bio.
We don’t rush skin.
We refine it.

We intentionally treated only one side of her lower face.

Notice how the treated side appears smoother, subtly lifted, and more supported — especially around the mouth and jawline. The corner of her mouth is elevated, and the lower face looks more balanced.

Lower face neuromodulator isn’t about freezing expression. It’s about softening downward pull and restoring harmony.

When dosing and placement evolve with your anatomy, results look natural. Not heavy. Not flat. Not overdone.

Precision > volume.
Balance > more.

If your tox hasn’t been hitting the same lately, it may not be the product — it may be the plan.

He did NOT want to look frozen.
He did NOT want to look “done.”
He definitely did not want to look weird.

He just didn’t want to look angry all the time.

This is conservative, strategic tox on a man.

✔️ Movement still there
✔️ Expressions still natural
✔️ Just softer lines + less tension

Notice when he raises his brows — the lines used to travel all the way up into where his hairline used to be. Now? He still moves… it’s just not carving into his forehead.

Men age differently.
They need different dosing.
And they deserve natural results too.

If your husband is skeptical… send him this.

You starting a new retinol.
Your skin: absolutely not. 🔥

Here’s the thing — not all retinols are for everyone.

If you’re a sensitive girly, jumping straight into tretinoin or a high-strength OTC retinol can absolutely wreck your barrier before you ever see the glow.

And when your skin peels, burns, or breaks out?
That doesn’t mean retinol “isn’t for you.”

It usually means the formulation or strength isn’t right for you.

Here’s the breakdown:

✨ Over-the-counter retinols
Often unstable. Slower results. Can still cause irritation without delivering dramatic change.

✨ Tretinoin
Gold standard. Powerful. Incredible for acne + aging.
But not beginner-friendly and not always tolerated long term.

✨ AlphaRet (my holy grail for sensitive skin)
Combines a retinoid + lactic acid in a way that’s far more tolerable.
Results without the full barrier meltdown.

✨ AlphaRet Intensive
For my more resilient babes who want more power without jumping straight to tret.

Retinoids are not one-size-fits-all.
The magic is in matching the formula to your skin.

If you’ve “failed” retinol before, you probably just weren’t on the right one.

Retinol: “Trust the process.”
My skin: “Absolutely not.”

If it burns, it’s not working better. It’s working wrong.

Tonight’s prescription:
• Stop actives
• Seal with Aquaphor
• Protect the barrier

And while we’re here — this hair color is IT. elaine understood the assignment.
