This was my first experience with injectables and was a little apprehensive. Nicole made me feel right at ease. She thoroughly explained and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed and atmosphere was relaxed. It has only been a week and I am seeing fabulous results everyday. My only concern is...Why didn't I try this sooner!!! I am a new number one fan. Thank you to all the staff for...
I always receive five-star service at Bare. They have wonderful staff. Sarah has been great, as have other medical professionals and the front desk receptionists. The facility is clean, well kept, and inviting in a prime downtown location with parking.
Jennifer and the entire team at Bare Medical Spa made my first visit exceptional. The space was bright and clean and all staff members were friendly and helpful. Jennifer clearly explained my procedure and aftercare and I felt very comfortable during my entire appointment. She took care to make me feel at home in an office setting. I would not go anywhere else for my skin and hair care...
Two months after a procedure at Bare and my smile is still lopsided. In hindsight, there were a lot of red flags that I should have paid attention to like: changing treatments last minute without a formal consult, differing opinions from differing providers, VERY lackadaisical about going over consent forms and potential risks/ side effects. There are more professional, organized and caring...
Leigha is simply amazing! She truly has saved my skin! There is not enough "thank yous" or stars I could give to show my appreciation! If you are feeling like there is no hope, no one is listening, please don't give up! For the past few years I have struggled with what I thought was adult acne. I have gone to many dermatologists who have just put me on strong medications that unfortunately...
A: Volbella 0.55cc is a very small amount of filler. At best, you will see increased hydration and smoothing of your lips but not much will change in regards to volume. An experienced injector will know how to place the filler so that your lips are enhanced but not a different shape.
A: Botox works on the muscle under the skin to stop it from scrunching which creates wrinkles. It is a great place to start if you are just beginning cosmetic injections. Of course, a combination of products is the only way to completely address all the signs of aging which are loss of collagen in the skin, loss of volume and bone structure. Based on your pic, it looks like Botox would definitely improve most of your concerns.
A: Your smile lines are caused by 2 things: loss of volume in your mid-face fat pads, causing the skin to droop down and loss of collagen in the dermis causing a crease to form in the skin. I would approach your case from both angles. I would recommend a mid-face filler such as Lyft or Voluma (1-2 syringes) and Juvederm Vollure or Restalyne Defyne for your creases. If you wanted to just do one, from the picture, I would do the Defyne in the creases and invest in the midface filler later. Also, you could do laser resurfacing such as CO2 fractional or Profound. Laser resurfacing is more down time up front, but typically last longer than filler because it builds your own collagen.
A: Microdermabrasion is a gentle exfoliation technique to buff off dead skin cells. Once dead skin cells are removed, new skin cells will speed up their turn over, creating more vibrant skin with a smooth texture. In order to effectively treat acne scarring, you will need to treat much deeper into the dermis than can be achieved with microderm. The best treatments would be either mid-depth chemical peels (3-5), microneedling with PRP, or the gold-standard a CO2 fractional resurfacing laser.
A: This is a great question! Your crease is caused by large, strong muscles in the glabella region. Botox, Dysport or Jeuveau are the safest options to weaken these muscles over time. Based on your picture (and not an in-person consult which is the best!), it appears that consistent treatment of your glabella would decrease this significantly. Usually I tell patients it takes about 1 year or 3 rounds of treatment to improve the look of an etched-in line. Filler can be done in this area but most cases of blindness from vascular occlusion have occurred in this area. Laser resurfacing safe for your skin tone or PDO threads would be safe alternatives as well.
