Dysport is a prescription injectable treatment primarily used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). By relaxing these muscles, Dysport can smooth out wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance. It is administered by our team through a series of injections into specific facial muscles.

Lip filler, also known as lip augmentation or lip enhancement, is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase the volume and shape of the lips. It involves the injection of dermal fillers, which are typically made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances, into the lips to create fuller, plumper lips or to enhance lip contours. Lip filler treatments can also help smooth out fine lines around the mouth and improve lip symmetry. The results of lip filler treatments are usually immediate and can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that work by adding volume directly to the skin, Sculptra stimulates the body's natural collagen production, resulting in a gradual increase in volume over time. It is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medical applications for decades. Sculptra is commonly used to address age-related volume loss, wrinkles, and facial folds, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. It is also utilized for non-surgical butt lifts and hand rejuvenation. The treatment typically involves a series of injections. Results are not immediate, as it takes time for the body to produce new collagen. However, once collagen production is stimulated, the results can be long-lasting, often lasting up to two years or more.

1. Gently massage the treated area according to your provider's instructions: 5 times a day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days. Massaging helps distribute the product evenly and prevents the formation of lumps or nodules. 

2. Minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the treated area from harmful UV rays. Direct sun exposure can exacerbate swelling and increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.

3. Apply cold compresses or ice packs to the treated area intermittently for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort. 

4. Refrain from vigorous exercise, hot baths, saunas, or massages for 24-48 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.

5. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and aid in the healing process. Hydration is essential for optimal collagen production and skin health.

6. Be Patient: Results from Sculptra treatments are not immediate and may take several weeks to become noticeable as collagen production gradually increases. 

7. Swelling and bruising can last or occur for 7-10 days.

Facial filler, also known as dermal filler, consists of various biocompatible substances, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, which are injected into specific areas of the face to achieve desired results. Fillers can restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. They can smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and creases, particularly around the nose, mouth, and forehead. Fillers can enhance lip volume, shape, and definition. They can also sculpt and define facial contours, such as the jawline, chin, and cheeks. They are minimally invasive and typically require little to no downtime. Results are often immediate and can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

1. Immediate Results: You may notice immediate improvement in the treated area, but final results may take a few days to fully develop as any swelling subsides.

2. Mild swelling, redness, and bruising are common side effects after treatment. These usually subside within a few days but can last up to a week in some cases.

3. Refrain from touching or applying pressure to the treated area to prevent displacement of the filler and minimize the risk of infection.

4. Applying cold compresses or ice packs to the treated area intermittently for the first 24-48 hours can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

5. Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to prevent sun damage.

6. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and aid in the healing process. Hydration is essential for optimal healing and skin health.

7. Be Patient: Results from facial filler treatments can vary from person to person. Be patient and allow time for any swelling or bruising to subside and for the filler to settle into its final position.

SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device used for skin rejuvenation and collagen induction therapy. It consists of a handheld pen-like device with a sterile disposable needle cartridge. During the treatment, the SkinPen's fine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface, stimulating the body's natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries created by SkinPen trigger the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Microneedling helps to promote cell turnover while minimizing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. This can diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and expression lines while reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone by promoting even melanin distribution. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires little to no downtime. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, spaced several weeks apart.

1. It is normal to experience redness and mild swelling in the treated area immediately after the procedure. This typically subsides within a few hours to a day but can last up to 2-3 days for some individuals.

2. Your skin may feel sensitive or tender to the touch, similar to a mild sunburn. This sensitivity should diminish within a few days.

3. You may experience dryness and flakiness as your skin begins to heal and regenerate. This is a normal part of the skin renewal process and usually resolves within a week.

4. While some immediate improvements may be visible, the full benefits of SkinPen microneedling, such as increased collagen production and improved skin texture, typically develop gradually over several weeks to months.

5. Your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight after microneedling, so it's important to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin.

6. Depending on your specific skin concerns and treatment goals, we may recommend a series of SkinPen treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, also known as "peach fuzz." This non-invasive treatment helps to improve the skin's texture and tone, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more radiant. Dermaplaning can also enhance the effectiveness of skincare products and makeup application by creating a smoother canvas for absorption and application. It is often performed by trained estheticians or dermatologists and is suitable for most skin types.

Before Dermaplaning:

1. Avoid using any retinoids or exfoliating products for at least 48 hours prior to your appointment.

2. Inform your esthetician about any skin concerns or conditions you may have.

3. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

4. Your esthetician will cleanse your skin and may apply a numbing cream if necessary.

5. Prepare to experience a gentle scraping sensation as the scalpel glides over your skin to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

After Dermaplaning:

1. Your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed immediately after the treatment, which is normal.

2. Avoid direct sunlight and wear sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

3. Refrain from using harsh exfoliants or retinoids for a few days to allow your skin to recover fully.

4. Follow your esthetician's post-care instructions, which may include using gentle skincare products and moisturizing regularly.

5. Enjoy your smoother, brighter complexion and revel in the results of your dermaplaning treatment!

How BioRePeel Works: 

BioRePeel combines different active ingredients, such as amino acids, vitamins, and exfoliating agents, to provide a comprehensive treatment.
