BOTOX
WHAT IS BOTOX?
Onabotulinumtoxina is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crows feet lines in adults.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Frown lines and crows feet develop due to repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Our Aesthetic Nurse Specialist injects these muscles, which temporarily reduces muscle activity from below the surface.
DOES IT HURT?
Most patients who have received treatment report that the injection feels like a slight pinch. If you are concerned about discomfort, our specialist may use ice packs or numbing cream before injecting.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
The most common side effects are bruising, bleeding, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT TAKE?
On average, an appointment will take anywhere fro 15-30 minutes. It is recommended that you schedule a consultation with our specialist to discuss the areas you wish to improve as well as the result you desire. Typically, a consultation and treatment can be done on the same day.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
$10.50 per unit.

JUVEDERM FILLERS
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC adds fullness to lips.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC adds fullness to Nasolabial Folds & cheeks.
VOLUMA XC adds volume to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks to help create a more youthful appearance.
VOLLURE XC is the newest addition to the Juvederm collection of fillers. It is designed to soften moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles to create a smoother appearance.
VOLBELLA XC adds subtle volume to lips and softens the appearance of vertical lip lines.
WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?
HA is a naturally-occuring substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume. Each Juvederm Filler is made from a modified form of HA.
DOES IT HURT?
Each of the fillers labeled with “XC” contain pain-reducing lidocaine to help manage pain or discomfort during the injection. Our Aesthetic Nurse Special also offers topical numbing cream and/or ice to help further minimize discomfort.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Results are visible immediately.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Duration depends on which filler is used. Voluma is our longest-lasting filler, with results visible up to two years after treatment. Juvederm Ultra Plus may require touch-ups after 6-9
months.

KYBELLA
WHAT IS KYBELLA?
Kybella® is a prescription medicine and is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for use outside of the submental area or in children less than 18 years of age.
WHAT IS SUBMENTAL FULLNESS?
Submental fullness is a gathering of excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as “double chin.” It can be something you’ve had your whole life due to genetics, or start to appear as you get older or if you gain weight.
HOW DOES KYBELLA WORK?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, and once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, revealing an improved chin profile.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Our Aesthetic Nurse Specialist will create a tailored treatment plan based on your chin profile. At each treatment, you will be given multiple small injections under your chin. You may receive up to 6 treatment sessions, spaced at least 1 month apart. Many patients experience visible results after 2 to 4 treatments.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
When injected into fat under the chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After reaching your desired aesthetic, further treatment is not expected.
CARBOXYTHERAPY
HOW DOES IT WORK?
During this treatment, carbon dioxide gas is injected under the skin with a fine needle. The gas separates the layers of the skin, creating an injury, which triggers the body’s ability to heal itself by stimulating the production of elastin and collagen. The carbon dioxide also stimulates oxygen to be delivered to the area, which rejuvenates the skin.
WHAT DOES IT TREAT?
Carbossi can be used to rejuvenate the delicate skin surrounding the eyes, improve dark circles, tighten skin, minimize scars and stretch marks, improve cellulite, localized fat reduction, and speed wound healing.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Treating an area on the face takes less than ten minutes. Areas being treated on the body vary in duration.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
$50 per area treated on the face
$100 per area treated on the body.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE I SEE RESULTS?
In some cases, minor improvement of the skin is visible immediately! For optimum results, our Aesthetic Nurses Specialist usually recommends a series of six treatments spread out over a six-week period. Please note that the umber of treatments required varies based on severity of the issue being correct and the location on the body. Schedule a complimentary consultation with our specialist to see if Carboxy Therapy is right for you!
CAN I TREAT MULTIPLE AREAS ON THE SAME DAY?
YES!
REGENIQUE
WHAT SKIN CONDITIONS DOES REGENIQUE TREAT?
Regenique is used to treat aging skin, scars, hyperpigmentation, acne, edema, and stretch marks.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
A Regenique treatment is relatively quick, depending on the treatment area. We have even nicknamed it our “lunchtime” procedure!
