When pricing out an injectable filler or Botox treatment, consider that the cost of the product is only one component of the total price. You're also paying for a trained, certified and experienced professional to properly administer those products to safely achieve beautiful, natural-looking results. For this reason, bargain hunting for Botox, fillers and other cosmetic treatments isn't recommended. It is unfortunately still common to hear horror stories of untrained, unlicensed providers offering cosmetic services at a steep discount and causing long-lasting damage to patients. This is a key reason why choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, or a medical spa facility operated by a board-certified plastic surgeon, is one of the most important decisions you can make when shopping for injectables. A few red flags to look for when choosing a filler or Botox provider include: Prices that seem too good to be true Lack of information or before and after pictures on th...

As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. Whether you have a few wrinkles you’d like to smooth out, or you want to put the brakes on new wrinkles appearing, Botox and dermal fillers may be the optimal solution. Botox and dermal fillers are popular aesthetic treatments helping to restore the beautiful, youthful vibrancy of your face, smile and overall facial features. Botox , or botulinum toxin, helps stop the formation of wrinkles around the mouth and eyes by interrupting the nerve transmitters that force the muscles to contract. There is no loss of feeling in your facial muscles, but the restricted movement will help ease the crinkling of the skin and the resulting wrinkles. By contrast, de...

As we age, normal exposure to the sun eventually manifests itself in sunspots, also called age spots. The uneven skin tone caused by that makes a face look tired and more worn. Women will often try to use more makeup products to cover up the spots, but layering lots of products on the skin is never ideal. Some women have super fine facial hair, while others have to face the issue of getting rid of their facial hair daily. Which leads us to mention another hassle of aging for many women: the growth of visible facial hair. Some women are naturally more hirsute than others, based on genetics, but it is a common issue for some darker hair growth to occur as they grow older. Menopause can also lead to an increase in the androgen to estrogen level due to estrogen levels declining at this stage of a woman’s life, leading to excess hair growth on the face. Before and After IPL Skin Rejuvenation No matter what the reasons, both of these issues can make a woman feel unattractive an...
