I have had two pregnancies over the past two years. So, I needed help with skin tightening on my face (especially lower face and jowls) from weight gain and weight loss. I highly recommend Vivace with a highly trained Aesthetician. Cathy was exceptional during all three of my treatments. I had redness for only a few hours. I Will maintain with further treatments.
I went in for my first micro needling session with Cathy and let me say that this has been the best experience of a facial I have ever received. I was nervous about the whole process because I am not a fan of needles, but they took time to carefully explain everything that was about to happen as well as calm my nerves about the whole process. During the procedure she was exceptionally patient...
Cathy is the best! Kind, encouraging, professional, knowledgeable, she has great ideas on products to try and procedures that will truly be helpful. Mostly she's very skilled at what she does. I was anxious when I had my first dermaplane with Cathy, because I had had one before a year or so prior and had little cuts all over my face and I was so relieved her facials are perfect and she's so...
A: Yes. People who would like to better define their jawline, strengthen their chin or fill in wrinkles or lines around the chin are good candidates for chin fillers.
A: Botox does not treat this area, but filler is a great option! Nasolabial fold (and cheek) filler can be used to lift and treat these folds, which occur with aging and volume loss in the cheek area. Filler injections will make the area look smoother and younger, with less of a demarcation between the cheeks and the lower face.
A: Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that minimizes the signs of aging and improves the tone and texture of your facial skin. Some doctors in the medical community regard microneedling as the most powerful way to stop the signs of aging and prevent new lines and wrinkles. Microneedling by itself is a wonderful way to heal your skin from the inner layers outward, and, combined with platelet-rich plasma, it works even faster. PRP therapy is platelets from your own blood that contain a wealth of growth factors that stimulate healing and generate new, healthy tissue. With PRP, you will get the benefits of tighter, smoother skin faster than with microneedling alone. Your skin is full of tiny puncture wounds immediately following a treatment, it’s the optimal time to apply PRP to your skin’s surface.
A: Both HALO™ and BBL™ treatments are minimally invasive procedures that produce customizable results. These treatments can be performed on the same day in order to better address texture, fine lines or discoloration concerns. The combined treatments build off of each other to produce results including smoother skin tone and texture.
A: The P-Shot involves taking platelet-rich plasma from your blood and injecting it into your penis. This means your doctor takes your own cells and tissues and injects them into your penile tissues to promote tissue growth and purportedly give you better erections. The P-Shot provides a 75-80% success rate at improving circulation, health, and strength of erections and can help girth and length for some patients.
