The team at Elemental Aesthetics, Dr. Swanick and Megan, are the best. Not only do they provide services at a reasonable price, they also deliver an amazing experience. I am so fortunate to have found them. I highly recommend Elemental Aesthetics for any services!
Dr. Swanik is amazing. I came to her for my first ever experience with injectables and went all out - getting a complete “liquid facelift.” I had concerns about forehead wrinkles, thin lips, deep nasal labial folds, smile lines and a crooked nose - she was very kind and patient listening to my list of what I’d like to improve about my face. I left her office feeling extremely well taken care of and I’m delighted with the results. I have to fly from Portland to see her but I think I will be making it a yearly ritual from now on. A miracle worker, truly!
I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about Dr. Summer Swanick!!!!! I went to her for Threadlift on my neck, and I have never been happier!!!!!!!!!!!! She listened to what I was trying to achieve and then told me exactly what I could expect from the procedure. She performed the procedure, took a lot of time and care to make sure I was perfectly comfortable, explained everything to me ahead of time, and then while she was working on me, and always asking me if I could feel anything, etc. Her bedside manner is more than Professional, but also she is soooooo nice it felt like I had known her for a long time!!! The results of my threadlift are AHHHHMMAAAAZINGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally and completely thrilled beyond words!!!!!! I was so insecure about my neck looking saggy and wrinkly, this procedure made my neck much firmer and lifted, nothing extreme, very natural!!!! I'm not trying to put my hair in front of my neck in pictures anymore!!! :) Dr. Swanick also did some fillers on me, and the outcome is incredibly amazing!!! I have been getting fillers for years, but she is truly an artist, my face does not look "filled" anywhere, I just look 5 years younger and totally refreshed like I got some really great sleep or just got back from an exhilarating vacation!!! She is without a doubt, the perfect doctor!!!! I am soooo happy!!!!!
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is usually a fantastic treatment filler because it offers great plumping and consistent duration in most people. I have, however, found a very small number of patients break down the product at a much faster rate than the 1 year duration typical of this product. In this case I recommend switching to a hyaluronic acid product that has different cross-linking technology, such as Restylane or Vollure. The Juvederm Ultra is a more similar product to the Juvederm Ultra plus than either the Restylane or Vollure, so I'd try one of those two first.
Restylane Refyne is an excellent product for laugh lines. I love that it stretches with the facial expressions to provide for a more natural result, especially in areas such as laugh lines. For mild laugh lines, I prefer the Restylane Refyne and for deeper laugh lines I prefer the Restylane Defyne.
