September, Seriously
As fall arrives, it’s time to buckle down and focus on work and studies. With vacation days behind us, we often become more serious about our daily responsibilities. A crucial part of every day is how we feel, with happiness being a top priority for many. When we’re happy, we tend to excel in all areas of life—whether at work, home, school, or elsewhere.
Our self-perception plays a significant role in our happiness. The more confident we are in our abilities, the more secure we feel emotionally, and the more enthusiastic we are about life’s experiences, the happier we become. How we feel about our appearance also contributes to our overall well-being. The saying “Look good, feel good” holds true, and we’re here to help you embody that.
Now is an excellent time to focus on self-improvement, making subtle changes that enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence. Fall is the perfect season to get serious about refining your look. Here are our top recommendations for this month:
Lift Your Spirits and Your Skin: With advanced dermal fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse, and the Restylane family, we can lift and contour your facial features, restoring natural fullness exactly where it’s needed. This nonsurgical, virtually pain-free “liquid facelift” can reduce wrinkles, lines, and folds, giving you a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Whether we’re lifting the entire face or targeting specific areas such as under-eye bags, marionette lines, sagging eyelids, jowls, or flattened cheeks, we can even disguise bumps on the nose—avoiding the need for surgery and anesthesia, with no downtime required.
No More Turtlenecks: Infini microneedling is a particularly effective treatment for enhancing your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two vital components for keeping your skin youthful and plump. Tiny needles penetrate the top layer of your skin, triggering new collagen and elastin production. This can lead to improved skin texture and firmness, with excellent results in reducing acne scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Say Eye: Thermage CPT, often hailed as the first nonsurgical facelift, can transform your skin from head to toe. This thermal lift tightens loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs, and even the buttocks. For the eye area, Thermage CPT reduces hooding, improves texture, and softens fine lines and crow’s feet. It’s a safe and effective option for eyelid rejuvenation.
Shape a Better You: SmartLipo Triplex is a minimally invasive method for removing unwanted fat and sculpting the body. This laser treatment melts fat cells and suctions them away. The updated Triplex technology uses three wavelengths of laser light for better fat removal, tighter skin, and high-definition body sculpting.
Schedule a complimentary consultation with our office, and we’ll create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Discover the Benefits of Infini Microneedling
Infini microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and tighten your skin. This powerful combination offers numerous benefits for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance and texture.
1. Enhanced Collagen Production: Infini microneedling stimulates collagen production at a deeper level than traditional microneedling alone. The RF energy heats the underlying layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
2. Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By boosting collagen production, Infini microneedling effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment helps to restore a youthful look, making your skin appear plumper and more resilient.
3. Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Infini microneedling targets various skin concerns, including rough texture, uneven tone, and large pores. The treatment promotes cell turnover and skin regeneration, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion.
4. Minimized Acne Scars and Stretch Marks: The combination of microneedling and RF energy can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. Infini microneedling breaks down scar tissue and stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, reducing the visibility of these imperfections.
5. Customized Treatment: Infini microneedling allows for precise control over the depth of the needles and the intensity of the RF energy. This customization ensures that the treatment is tailored to your specific skin concerns and needs, providing optimal results.
Experience the transformative benefits of Infini microneedling and achieve healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and learn how this innovative treatment can help you reach your skin goals.

Turning Back Time: Effective Treatments for Sagging Skin
Sagging skin isn’t something you mark on your calendar: “Skin sagging, July 15th.” It’s a gradual change that sneaks up on you until one day, you notice it.
The once firm and taut skin now appears to droop. You understand that your body’s collagen production has slowed, but the effects are more noticeable than expected. Collagen, the natural substance that supports your skin, helps maintain a youthful and lifted appearance. As it depletes due to aging, hereditary factors, or environmental influences, your skin may begin to sag. This, combined with a decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, results in a loss of skin tension and elasticity.
No area of your body is immune. You might notice sagging on your face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. While no non-surgical treatment can completely reverse this process, many options can significantly improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments designed to help your skin look younger and tighter.
Here are a few:
- Thermage CPT: A thermal lift particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.
- Exilis Ultra 360: This treatment combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to offer maximum power and targeted control, focusing on specific areas that need attention.
- INFINI: A high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin, also helpful for minimizing acne scarring.
- Fraxel Repair: A laser treatment that reduces deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, rough skin texture, and both acne and surgical scars.
- SmartLipo Triplex: A laser treatment that simultaneously removes fat and tightens skin.
- Kybella: A treatment used to minimize submental fat, commonly known as the “double chin.”
If sagging skin concerns you, come in and talk with us about how we can help you feel better. Our consultations are complimentary, so call today to schedule an appointment.

Conquering Acne: Understanding and Treating Your Skin Woes
Acne is a universal skin condition that affects millions worldwide, transcending age, gender, and background. Whether it’s the occasional blemish or a persistent battle, the journey to clear skin can often feel like an uphill climb. But fear not, for there’s hope and help available for everyone grappling with this common affliction.
Understanding the root cause of acne is paramount to effectively addressing it. It begins when pores become clogged with dead skin cells, exacerbated by the overproduction of sebum—the skin’s natural oil. This creates a fertile ground for bacteria to flourish, leading to inflammation and the dreaded appearance of acne.
The manifestations of acne vary, from the familiar blackheads and whiteheads of acne vulgaris to the redness and pustules associated with acne rosacea. Some individuals grapple with chronic, persistent acne, while others contend with the aftermath of scarring and pigmentation issues.
However, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. We offer a range of treatments tailored to address diverse acne concerns. Here’s a glimpse of what’s available:
INFINI: A cutting-edge treatment targeting acne scars and texture irregularities by stimulating collagen production.
PDL (Pulsed Dye Laser): Ideal for reducing redness and inflammation associated with acne rosacea.
Fraxel Dual and Fraxel Repair: These lasers work wonders in resurfacing the skin, addressing both active acne and scarring.
Dermal Fillers (Belotero, Juvederm, Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Radiesse): Effective in restoring volume loss and minimizing the appearance of depressed acne scars.
Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to acne treatment. I will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that caters to your unique needs and concerns. So, take heart—clear, radiant skin is within reach, and you don’t have to face this journey alone. With the right treatment and support, you can bid farewell to acne and embrace the confidence that comes with healthy, beautiful skin.

By temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, Botox minimizes the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, contributing to a more relaxed and youthful expression.

Flawless Skin Awaits: Treating Acne Scarring
If you’ve been struggling with the aftermath of acne scarring, you’re not alone. Acne scars can be a frustrating and persistent reminder of past breakouts. They often result from the body’s natural healing process, which can lead to the formation of raised or depressed scars, red or brown discoloration, and uneven skin texture. While scars vary in type and severity, they can affect one’s self-esteem and confidence. The good news is that there are advanced treatments available to help you achieve smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.
Infini
Infini is a cutting-edge radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin. By delivering controlled energy through fine needles, Infini helps to remodel the scar tissue, reducing the appearance of acne scars. It’s particularly effective for atrophic (indented) scars, helping to fill them in and make them less noticeable.
Fraxel Repair and Fraxel Dual
Fraxel Repair and Fraxel Dual are fractional laser treatments that work by targeting tiny sections of the skin, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This approach stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation. Fraxel Repair is more aggressive and suitable for deeper scars, while Fraxel Dual is a milder option that can be used to treat superficial acne scars. Both treatments can improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and smooth out scars.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are often used to add volume to the skin. They can be an effective solution for addressing indented acne scars by filling them in and creating a smoother surface. Dermal fillers can also help with rolling scars and atrophic scars, offering an immediate improvement in the appearance of the skin.

Unveiling the Marvels of Infini Microneedling: Elevating Your Skincare Game
In the quest for flawless and youthful skin, various skincare treatments have emerged over the years. One such groundbreaking innovation that has gained significant attention is Infini Microneedling. This cutting-edge procedure has revolutionized the skincare industry, offering a non-surgical solution to address a wide range of skin concerns.
What is Infini Microneedling?
Infini Microneedling is an advanced cosmetic procedure that combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology. It involves the use of tiny needles that penetrate the skin’s surface, creating microchannels while simultaneously delivering controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This unique combination stimulates collagen production, promotes skin rejuvenation, and addresses a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sagging skin.
The Benefits of Infini Microneedling:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Infini Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, vital proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As a result, it helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, giving your complexion a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
- Scar Improvement: Whether caused by acne, surgery, or injury, scars can often be a source of self-consciousness. Infini Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of scars by breaking down scar tissue, stimulating new collagen formation, and promoting smoother and more even skin texture.
- Hyperpigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone: Infini Microneedling can effectively target areas of hyperpigmentation, such as sunspots or melasma, by encouraging the production of fresh, healthy skin cells. This results in a more even skin tone, reduced discoloration, and an overall brighter complexion.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike invasive procedures, Infini Microneedling boasts minimal downtime. While the skin may appear slightly red and experience mild swelling immediately after the treatment, these effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. This allows you to resume your daily activities with minimal interruption.
With Infini Microneedling, you can expect to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Many individuals experience a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, along with a brighter and more youthful complexion. For optimal results, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended, spaced a few weeks apart.

Neck News
For many of you, the neck is a body area that you’d like to improve. Because the skin is so delicate, it’s prone to changes in tautness, smoothness and color, particularly as we age.
Some of you may notice little lines or bands that run horizontally around the neck or vertical cords (platysmal bands) that become prominent. Also, when collagen and elastin decrease over time, the skin on your neck may sag and look crepey. Changes in color may include brown spots and pigmentation, particularly on the decolletage, the chest area. Or, you may see red, blotchy or wrinkly skin, most often due to excessive exposure to the sun.
At home, remember to moisturize and use SPF and retinol products, as you would on your face. If you are still not happy, come see us. We have many ways to help your neck look beautiful and more youthful. Here are a few:
Infini: This radio frequency microneedling treatment tightens the neck and jowls and reduces crepiness, too.
Thermage CPT: This tightens skin on the neck and jowls, non-invasively. It’s often called a “Thermal Lift” treatment, and it’s highly effective for many areas of the body.
Exilis Ultra 360: Another thermal treatment, Exilis Ultra 360 tightens skin on the neck and jowls and reduces fat, non-invasively.
Fraxel Repair: This laser treatment resurfaces and tightens the skin on the neck and jowls and reduces crepiness and hyperpigmentation (brown spots). It is the procedure of choice for deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, age-related/sun-damaged rough skin texture, acne and surgical scars.
SmartLipo Triplex: This laser procedure permanently removes fat by destroying fat cells, removing them and tightening the skin. It is effective for large areas of the body as well as smaller ones, like the neck.
Kybella: This series of injections dissolves submental fat permanently and causes some skin contraction, too. Once fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, so re-treatment is not expected.

Men Are Body-Conscious, Too
When people talk about body image, we often assume that they are referring to women. But men experience similar insecurities about their physical appearance, according to many studies published worldwide.
Many men worry about beer bellies, love handles, man “boobs” and hair loss, among other issues associated with aging.
More than four in five men (80.7 percent) talk in ways that promote anxiety about their body image by referring to perceived flaws and imperfections, compared with 75 percent of women, according to a study from the University of the West of England. The study also revealed that 23 percent of the surveyed men didn’t go to the gym because they were concerned about their appearance and 63 percent thought that their arms and chests were not muscular enough.
A study in 2016 by Chapman University researchers, published in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity, showed that:
- About 25 percent of the men were dissatisfied with their appearance, compared to about 28.5 percent of women.
- More than half of the men had gone on diets in the past year, and nearly 42 percent were unhappy with their weight.
- About 37 percent did not like the condition of their muscle tone.
- About 69 percent felt judged on their looks and felt pressure from magazines and television to have a slimmer and more muscular body.
So, if you are male and concerned about your body shape, you are not alone. It’s likely that you
have dieted and spent hours in the gym. Sometimes, these tactics are not enough for certain trouble spots or for men of certain ages.
In our offices, one of the most popular procedures for men is SmartLipo Triplex, particularly for the neck, abdomen and breast area. SmartLipo Triplex is a minimally invasive method for removing unwanted fat and sculpting areas of the body that you’d like to change.
We also find that Kybella is effective for reducing the double chin, a common male problem that often resists diet and exercise. This procedure slims and contours the area below and around your chin and neck, without surgery.
You may also be concerned about the effects of aging, sun damage and stress, all of which can negatively impact how you feel about yourself at home and at work. Many male patients come see us for Botox, particularly for their foreheads and crow’s feet, and for dermal fillers that minimize the folds around their noses and corners of their mouths. Some of these fillers include Belotero, Juvederm, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Silk and Radiesse. Also, to decrease wrinkles and sagging on the face and around the eyes, many men come to us for Thermage CPT, Infini and Fraxel Repair Laser Treatments.
If you’re not entirely happy with how you look, don’t hesitate to call our office for a complimentary consultation. We’ll try to help you look and feel your best.
