At almost 50 years old, I had no experience with neuromodulators. However, through the good fortune of meeting Dr. Peredo, I built a wonderful rapport and trust with her on a professional level. She convinced me to let her inject me with Daxxify, a product I did know a lot about but was apprehensive...I'd waited this long! However, with Dr. Peredo's incredible skill and gentle hand and my strong belief in Daxxify's claims and supporting physicians, I gave in. I expected it to hurt, only because I had never done it before. It didn't. I saw results so quickly I was almost startled by them! Literally within 24 hours, the texture of my skin on my forhead was glowing! It was also much smoother. The next thing I noticed was that I had a very even lift. I've always been nervous about the one eye brow up phenomena that's attributed to neuromodulators; Botox specifically. I already have 'hooded eyes' and was joking with Dr. Peredo about my desire for Bleph surgery if I could endure the Daxxify journey! Crazy thing is that the lift was so remarkable, Bleph surgery is now on the back burner. Finally, it's now September 8. SEVEN full months (plus) since my Daxxify treatment. I've seen Dr. Peredo several times along the way for other reasons and every time, we both laugh that it's still holding strong! I have to say, not only was it worth the wait, it's worth the hype!
I always had a double chin, it’s genetics for me. When this first came out I was working with cosmetic dermatologists and thought I have to do it, especially since it’s permanent. I knew what to expect with the swelling. It’s not pretty swelling but the worst is over in 24-72 hrs. I did do 2 treatments but I was very pleased after the first one.
I have been a patient of Dr. Peredo's for years. I have mostly seen her Botox and skin related issues. Being post menapausal I had been experiencing painful Intercourse. Dr. Peredo suggested I look into Viveve by Genevieve. I was hesitant because I didn't know enough about it but I trusted Dr. Peredos opinion. After researching the procedure I booked my appointment in Her NYC office. The procedure was painless. It took 30 minutes. The only side effect was slight staining the following day. Within two weeks I started to feel the effects of the procedure. Sex was less painful. After two months the procedure fully kicked in and my libido and sexuality returned. Even my husband didn't complain , like he usually does when he gets the bill. We both benefitted from this investment.
I had cool sculpt in many different areas. It has only been two weeks and I do see some results in my back area! I'm addicted for sure. Im so lucky to have met Dr Peredo and Joann! Joann has been well trained in cool sculpt and now she added Zimmer to my treatment. Can wait for full results!! Do it!
I am 38 years old and have always been very concerned about my skincare and beauty routine as I want to look great for my age. I decided to get Ultherapy because I heard that it helps tighten the neck and jaw area while minimizing and smoothing out lines. I believe the lines on my neck are partially due to aging but also due to constant neck crunching from always looking down at my computer or at my phone while typing. Everyone in my family always tells me that I crunch my neck too much while using technology, and I think they're right because the lines on my neck match the repeated motion. So I ended up getting my 1st Ultherapy treatment at Skinfluence with Dr. Marina Peredo. It took less than 30 minutes! The treatment included 2 passes of ultrasound technology. Afterwards I was a little tender but the next day it was if I had nothing done. A few days out, I can see and feel that my skin is much tighter and firmer in the treated area. I'm really looking forward to seeing the results 6-weeks out as I've heard the results are amazing. This was honestly an unexpectedly easy procedure as I was able to return to work right afterwards without any markings on my neck.

Depending on age and laxity of the eyelids its not just the amount of units but also the placement of the botox. If forehead is being treated without treating the frown between the brows (glabella) that also could cause a droopy brow. Everyone is individual, so 15 units may be a lot. Using botox to shape brows is a combination between science and art.
It could be a good treatment for mild rosacea. It can address some of the redness and large pores. Patients with severe rosacea may get increased aggravation from it.
