The Worst Advice We’ve Ever Heard About Dermal Fillers

Have you ever come across a photo of yourself on social media that one of your “friends” tagged you in without your permission? How is it that they always manage to find the worst possible one? You know, the one that catches you at just the wrong angle that makes you look at least 10 years older. Then you suddenly find yourself standing before your bathroom mirror scrutinizing your every facial feature—poking, prodding, pulling, trying to imagine what your face would look like if it were tighter. We’ve all done it at some point. 

Fortunately, while there isn’t any way to turn back the clock (yet!), there is a solution.

"Will this hurt?"

This s a question I get from patients all the time. The answer I typically give is, "Yes, I'm sticking needles in your face..." or "Yes, everything I do hurts..." I’m not trying to be flippant, just honest.

Here's the deal, every person has different pain thresholds and tolerances. I’ve had patients pass out from the very thought of a needle and I’ve had patients carry on full-blown conversations (without anesthetic), while I have a needle in their lip.

Combination Therapy - What is it?

Combination therapy quite simply involves using two or more anti-aging treatments to help treat the various signs of aging. There are many factors that contribute to the aging of your face.  Often, loss of volume, lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, heavy jowls, sun spots and declining skin texture have different causes.  Unfortunately, there is not one single treatment that can address all of these concerns.  As an aesthetic professional, I have a variety of non-surgical treatment options at my disposal to correct nearly all of these signs of aging. The best results are achieved with combination therapy.
