WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING AND DO I NEED IT?
Microneedling has been proven to be an effective treatment for everything from wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin, to issues such as stretch marks and scars. But it’s especially useful for diminishing deep facial scars from things like cystic acne or chickenpox that occurred earlier in life.
Stress and Acne – Chill Out, Avoid the Breakout
The hormones that your body produces when under stress can stimulate an overproduction of oil from the sebaceous glands in the skin. If you suffer from oily skin and acne, then chances are you’ve noticed how certain foods, products, and medications can increase or decrease your breakouts.
Why Starting Botox Earlier Than Later Is Beneficial
Most people wait until they start to see wrinkles before they seek Botox treatment, but preventative treatment uses Botox to treat wrinkles before they emerge. By injecting the muscles that typically cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows with Botox before they start to develop wrinkles, you are essentially preventing them before they happen. The Botox slows down the use of those muscles, preventing lines from developing (or at least delaying the development of the lines). One o
Biostimulating Fillers – How are they different from Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
If you are wondering about collagen biostimulators and what the difference is from dermal fillers you’re not alone. Both are injectable treatments and do have some similarities in terms of benefits to the skin and facial structure thus they can sometimes be confused as the same thing but are actually quite different. The key differences lie in how these treatments work and how long the benefits last. Biostimulating fillers are kickstarting cosmetic dermatology and quickly showing up traditional
What's Your Skin Personality?
What dictates whether or not you spend ages on a rigorous cleansing regime, or be content with a five-second splash? As children we are influenced by our mothers and as adults we are likely to emulate her routine. Friends can also influence the types of products you use and routine facials will typically inspire you to take a bit more time and care with your skin. There are 4 personality categories when it comes to the way we look after our skin. 1. The minimalist You favor a wash-off cleanser,
Back to School Skincare
The changing of seasons is a great time to reset your skincare regime and start a fresh cycle of back-to-school skincare habits. For many in the Fall, it's back to school that triggers this reset – a new term, new courses to digest, and new study techniques to refresh. Skincare needs to change in different climates, and throughout each season of the year. It feels wonderful to have a deep cream moisturizer on your skin during dry, cold winter temperatures. Light oils in Summer give us that spec
Acne~Fact or Fiction
Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by dirty skin and there is little evidence to support that eating chocolate or greasy foods is to blame. Fact is, there are four main factors that contribute to acne: excess oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and changing hormones. While some of the specifics behind why these things cause acne are still unclear, there are plenty of things we do know for certain. To help avoid confusion and misinformation, we’re doing some myth busting
What Is A Neurotoxin And How Does It Work?
Botox is classified as a neurotoxin and is often referred as the "miracle poison.” The neurotoxin "botox" is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. These substances target the nervous system, disrupting the nerve signaling processes that stimulate muscle contraction. This is how the drug causes temporary muscle paralysis. In order for any muscle to contract, the nerves release a chemical messenger called acetylcholine at the junction where nerve endings meet muscle cells. Acetylchol
Best At~Home Peels
A chemical peel is simply a souped up version of exfoliation and often calls upon one of the familiar skincare acids, but at a higher concentration. Designed to be used less frequently than an every day acid, a peel will lift away the accumulated layers of dirt and grime that haven't been caught by your everyday regime and polishes away the build-up of dead skin cells that block pores and cling to our skin, making it look dull. Really, it's glowing skin, bottled. The term "chemical peel" doesn't
How Much Filler Is Too Much?
People naturally associate a glamorous face with pouty lips, smooth skin, and a well-defined jawline. However, as we get older – even just into the 20s! – our faces lose collagen, elasticity, and hyaluronic acid, so we start to show our age. Fortunately, modern medical advancements have brought about dermal fillers to restore our youthful look at any age. So how do you know when it’s too much of a good thing? If you get too much filler in your face, you will have an unnatural look. Remember tha
Full Face Correction aka The Liquid FaceLift
If you enjoy keeping up with the latest trends in skin care and anti-aging treatments, you may have heard the term liquid facelift. "Liquid facelift" is the phase used for a combination of injectable procedures that can address some of the issues associated with aging – like loss of volume or the appearance of wrinkles – without going through invasive surgery or recovery. There are currently several options for both tox/wrinkle reducers and dermal fillers, and most providers will customize your
Face Lift or Thread Lift? Which One is Right for You?
The facelift has maintained its status as one of the most popular and effective surgical procedures available for facial cosmetic enhancement in the U.S. for many years. While facelift surgery is often an ideal option for both women and men seeking to reduce signs of facial aging and restore a more youthful appearance, a variety of advances made over the years have resulted in alternative procedures that can address similar concerns. A non-surgical treatment such as a thread lift is one such opt

Switch Up Your Skin Care Routine From Summer To Fall
Summer is synonymous with sun-kissed skin (hopefully not the sunburn), naturally lightened hair, and pared-down skin care routine consisting of lightweight products. But as the temperatures start to dip, it’s time to swap out your summer staples for richer options. Come fall, it’s not just your wardrobe that needs updating—your skin care requires a mini makeover, too. The skin recognizes climate changes and reacts to them to regulate its needs. Cooler, drier air generally leads to drier skin be
