Peptides are having a moment, but most of the questions we get are probably the same ones you’re thinking too: what are they, what do they do, and how do you know what’s actually worth trying? The truth is, “peptides” isn’t one thing but an entire category, and the best results come from choosing the right option for the right goal, with the right guidance.

That’s why we’re seeing so many questions about NAD+, BPC 157, and skin focused blends like GHK Cu. In this carousel, we’re breaking down what they are in plain language and when it makes sense to ask for a personalized plan.

As filler is added over the years, it can accumulate, shift, or integrate into tissue in ways that eventually make the face look heavier, firmer, or less natural. At that point, adding more product rarely fixes the issue. In fact, it can make someone look older rather than refreshed.

That’s when dissolving becomes the right move.

At Salt, we dissolve filler thoughtfully and intentionally. We use ultrasound imaging to see exactly where filler is located before doing anything. This allows us to target what needs to be removed instead of dissolving blindly.

The dissolving agent, hyaluronidase, breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers safely when used correctly. Some patients need just one session, while others may need a few treatments spaced weeks apart, depending on how much filler is present and how long it’s been there.

After dissolving, we typically wait several weeks for tissues to fully settle before considering new filler. This gives the skin time to relax and the anatomy to normalize, which leads to far more natural results when we rebuild.

If you’ve ever felt like your filler just isn’t working the way it used to, this is a conversation worth having.

Let’s be very clear first: Oprah looks incredible. Strong, confident, radiant, and exactly who she is at this stage of life.

But this photo is a perfect example of something we see all the time in aesthetics. The face gets attention. The neck, hands, and arms often get ignored. And those areas don’t lie.

Skin on the neck and arms is thinner, has less oil production, and loses collagen faster. Add sun exposure and gravity, and it’s usually the first place aging shows up, even when the face looks amazing.

The good news is that this isn’t a mystery problem, and it’s not untreatable.

At Salt, we regularly work on areas like the neck and arms using tools that actually improve skin quality, not just camouflage it. Treatments like BBL, laser resurfacing, microneedling, biostimulators, and collagen-stimulating technologies can tighten, smooth, and strengthen skin over time.

These treatments don’t change who you are, they help the skin on your neck and arms catch up to the care your face has already received.

If this feels familiar, let’s talk about treating the whole picture. Book your free consultation.

BBL and MOXI are often paired for a reason. They work on different layers of the skin, and together they create results that are both visible and long-lasting.

BBL targets what you see first: redness, sun damage, uneven pigment, and vascular changes. It calms inflammation, evens tone, and signals the skin to behave more youthfully at a cellular level.

MOXI works deeper and more quietly. It stimulates collagen, refines texture, tightens pores, and improves overall skin quality over time.

When combined, BBL clears and corrects the surface while MOXI strengthens the foundation underneath. The result isn’t just brighter skin, it’s healthier skin that continues to improve in the weeks following treatment.

This before-and-after shows exactly that: calmer tone, smoother texture, and skin that looks stronger, not “worked on.”

That’s the power of choosing the right tools and using them together, intentionally.

Microneedling and laser are not competing for the same job; they represent two completely different philosophies of skin renewal.

Microneedling works with your biology. It triggers natural regeneration, collagen production, and controlled healing without heat or damage to the epidermis. It is safe for all skin types, all year round, and offers quick, predictable downtime.

Laser, on the other hand, is a powerful and targeted tool for deeper concerns such as stubborn texture, scars, pigmentation, and structural changes. It remodels tissue through thermal injury, which means real downtime, strict aftercare, and seasonal limitations.

Once you understand the mechanism, the question stops being “Which one is better?” and becomes “Which tool does your skin actually need?”

When used correctly, they complement each other beautifully and help your skin improve safely, gradually, and without overload.

“Money can’t buy happiness”… sure. But it can buy facials, Tox, fillers, glowing skin, and zero stress in the mirror. And tell me again how that’s not happiness?

This year brought growth, change, a few big milestones, and a lot of moments we’ll always remember. From learning and evolving, to events, laughter, and the everyday care we get to provide, it was a year that truly shaped us.

Most importantly, it was the year our Salt and Coastal families became one. And you trusted us through it all.

Thank you for choosing us, cheering us on, and being part of our days (even when things looked a little different). We’re incredibly grateful for every patient, every kind word, and every visit.

Here’s to a fresh start, a new year, and plenty more moments together. Happy New Year from all of us at Salt🤍

People love to say Tox is “scary”… yet it’s been helping patients far beyond aesthetics for decades.

From migraines and muscle spasms to post-stroke recovery, medical Tox is one of the most researched and proven neurotherapies we have. And yes, studies now show that treating the glabella can also reduce anxiety.

We’ll stick with science, anatomy, and real outcomes. You can stick with feeling (and looking) a whole lot better.

Book your Tox consultation at Salt today.

Morpheus8 is one of the few treatments that can address both surface-level aging and the deeper structural changes that make skin look loose, creased, and tired. It combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency heat to remodel collagen, tighten tissue, and restore firmness where topical skincare simply can’t reach.

Our patients often ask if Morpheus8 is “worth it,” “too intense,” or “only for severe aging.” This before-and-after tells the real story.

This beautiful patient came to us with concerns about overall laxity, deep etched lines, under-eye creasing, and a general loss of support through the mid and lower face. These are changes that happen when collagen declines, fat pads shift, and the foundational layers of the skin weaken.

After a customized Morpheus8 protocol, you can see:
• Improved lower-face support
• Smoother texture and tighter skin
• Softening of deeper wrinkles
• Better under-eye firmness
• More even tone and overall lift

Her results are not from “over-tightening.” They come from rebuilding collagen where she actually needed it.

And for anyone wondering:
No, this isn’t a surgical result.
No, the skin isn’t “pulled.”
And no, Morpheus8 isn’t only for severe cases.

If you’re noticing creasing, laxity, thinning skin, or early collapse in the lower face, Morpheus8 can be an incredibly effective way to restore firmness without changing the shape of your face.

📩 DM us if you want to know whether you’re a good candidate.

We’re all counting down to The Devil Wears Prada 2, but can we take a moment to appreciate ANNE HATHAWAY?!

How does she look like she hasn’t aged a day since the first movie?

There is no universe where this happens without consistent skincare, discipline, and probably a little subtle aesthetic help. So we looked at confirmed interviews, expert breakdowns, and what her own facialist has shared to see what Anne actually does.

Here’s what’s real: Anne’s longtime facialist talks openly about her commitment to regular facials, deep hydration, lymphatic massage, and serious sunscreen habits.

And based on professional analysis of her skin quality over the years, she likely benefits from light resurfacing, a bit of tightening for definition, and very conservative Botox to keep expression lines soft without changing her face. Maybe even the tiniest touch of midface support to maintain her signature structure.

Honestly? The Devil Wears Botox would also make sense at this point.
