What to Expect From Your Lip Filler Appointment?

January 29, 2024

Lip fillers are not a ‘one size fits all’ treatment; whether patients are looking to refine lip contours, address asymmetry or proportion, restore volume, provide hydration, or just add that extra ‘oomph,’ our array of dermal fillers caters to every need.

So what are dermal fillers…

Let’s start first by understanding what these fillers consist of! Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance already found within our bodies. It plays a vital role as it is a primary component of what gives our skin structure, and is responsible for keeping our skin hydrated and plump! Common hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, like Restylane, Juvederm, and RHA products, are often also infused with lidocaine to minimize discomfort during and after treatment. Once injected, patients can expect their results to last for about 6-12 months, depending on the specific product used and the body’s natural metabolic processes.

What to do before and after a lip filler treatment:

Pre Care 

  • Avoid taking any blood thinning medications or supplements, this includes over the counter medication such as aspirin and ibuprofen for at least 7-10 days.

  • Avoid drinking alcohol at least 24 hours before your appointment.

  • Take arnica supplements a few days before your appointment to help minimize your chances of bruising and swelling.

  • Eat a small meal or snack before your appointment.

Post Care

  • Avoid strenuous exercise or extreme heat for at least 24 hours

  • Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 24-48 hours following treatment

  • Apply ice or a cold compress in 15-minute intervals for the first 12 hours. Always place a thin cloth or towel over the ice to prevent direct contact.

  • Stay hydrated, drink lots of water!

Patients can also expect swelling and bruising following their treatment, this is completely normal and should subside within 1-2 weeks. Final results are also not seen immediately as it takes 2 weeks for dermal fillers to fully settle.

Cost: Pricing varies based on the type of dermal filler used, and can range from $675-$875/per syringe. Our medical providers will conduct a personalized assessment to determine the most suitable product based on their patient’s individualized goals and needs.

This month enjoy 15% off (1) syringe of any 1ml Juvederm or Restylane collection of dermal fillers. Use code LipLove15 when booking.

Get Ready To Glow: With Skinvive

January 15, 2024

What is SKINVIVE?

Get healthy, hydrated, glowing skin from within! SKINVIVE is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable within the US designed to improve skin quality and smoothness of the cheeks. This treatment is often referred to as a ‘skin booster’ rather than a dermal filler as it adds hydration vs. adding volume or definition.

SKINVIVE will ultimately leave your skin looking hydrated and more radiant!

Who is an ideal candidate?

SKINVIVE is intended for patients looking to combat dullness, enhance overall skin quality or just replenish skin hydration. This treatment pairs perfectly with our Hydrafacials/Facials, BBL/Moxi, Microneedling or Injectables/Dermal Fillers services and can be performed on the same day allowing us to simultaneously target a variety of skin concerns in the same visit!

What does the treatment entail and is there downtime?

Our medical providers will conduct a personalized assessment to determine if SKINVIVE is right for their patient. Following this, our providers will first apply a topical lidocaine cream to the treatment area and allow that sit for about 15-20 minutes. Once the area is numb, the provider will then inject the product superficially into the cheeks in a grid-like pattern. The treatment itself typically takes 30 minutes. 

One of the greatest benefits of this treatment is that there is little to no downtime! Patients can expect to experience mild swelling and/or bruising and should refrain from heavy exercise, makeup application, or prolonged sun exposure 24 hours following their treatment.

When can I expect to see results and how long will they last?

It is important to recognize that this treatment is not a dermal filler and will not add volume to the face. In clinical studies, patients who were treated with SKINVIVE reported high satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked through 6 months. Patients can expect to see a slight ‘plumping’ effect following their treatment however full results can take up to 4 weeks to see. Some patients may also require multiple treatments based on overall severity and their goals – this will be determined by their medical provider.

What is the cost of this treatment? 

$700/per area.

Schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our medical providers to see if SKINVIVE is best for you!

Setting Self-Care Goals for a Year of Radiant Transformation

January 4, 2024

As we embark on a brand new year, let’s make a promise to ourselves – a promise of radiant transformation and personal wellness. In a fast-paced world that often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and drained, it is essential to prioritize self-care to fill our mind, body, and soul. So, let’s begin this journey together by setting intentional self-care goals for the year ahead, allowing us to bask in the blissful glow of total rejuvenation.

  1. Nurture Your Body:
    Our bodies are our sanctuaries, deserving of tender love and care. Start by indulging in luxurious milk + honey spa treatments that embrace the healing power of touch. Imagine the sensation of a soothing CBD massage, expertly tailored to release tension, melt away stress, and promote deep relaxation. Treat your body to a transformative experience, leaving you feeling refreshed, energized, and radiantly vibrant.
  2. Cultivate Inner Peace:
    True transformation begins from within. Take time to cultivate inner peace and serenity through practices that resonate with your soul. Consider incorporating regular meditation sessions or trying something new, like a sound bath.
  3. Embrace the Power of Nature:
    Nature has an incredible ability to heal and restore. This year, make it a goal to immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world. Whether it’s a 10-minute walk outside or planning monthly hikes, take the time to just reflect.
  4. Rejuvenate Your Soul:
    Nurturing your soul is just as important as caring for your physical well-being. Dedicate time to activities that spark joy within you.  Make it a priority to schedule things that generally make you happy and don’t let anything else get in the way.
  5. Prioritize Mindful Movement:
    Movement is a powerful form of self-care, fostering strength, balance, and a sense of accomplishment. Set a goal to incorporate mindful movement into your routine, whether it’s with calming yoga practices or invigorating fitness classes.

Setting self-care goals for a year of radiant transformation is an act of indulgence and a necessity for our overall well-being. Let’s commit to ourselves, promising to prioritize self-care and honor our bodies, minds, and souls. You deserve it.

Winter Skin Care: Skincare Routine & Tips

November 1, 2021

Winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin. Dry, cracked, and dull skin, unfortunately, are common issues your skin can face while dealing with the colder temperatures, and as we crank up the heat inside, the dry air can also cause a whole slew of different issues. Caring for your dry skin in winter is important, so here is a skincare routine and some additional tips to help keep your skin feeling glowy, hydrated, and healthy.

 

Winter Skin Care Routine

The first step to ensuring your skin stays supple and hydrated through the cold winter months is to adjust your skincare routine. When the temperatures drop, humidity levels drop as well; as a result, it’s important to ensure your skincare routine is gentle and hydrating to seal in moisture and keep your skin looking its best. Here are some tips to switch up your routine to fight off dry skin in the winter:

  1. Wash with a gentle cleanser: When cleansing your skin, swap out your foaming cleanser and opt for a gentler formulation like a balm, oil, or cream. Foaming cleansers can strip the skin of its moisture and disrupt the skin barrier. Balm, oil, and cream cleansers aren’t as harsh and are just as effective at washing your skin. Consider using cleansers that are fragrance free and don’t contain large quantities of harsh ingredients like alcohol.milk + honey cleansing balm
  2. Incorporate a good exfoliator: A gentle exfoliator can help remove dead skin skills and reveal softer, glowing skin. Not only does exfoliating help your moisturizer absorb better, but it also helps create a smooth base for makeup application. That being said, don’t over do it! Choose between a chemical exfoliant or gentle physical exfoliant and use it once a week. You can bump it up to two times a week if your skin can tolerate it.milk + honey exfoliating toner
  3. Use a daily moisturizer: Moisturize with a rich cream or oil-based moisturizer in the winter. They are more effective than lotions at locking in moisture and hydrating the skin’s outer layers. Don’t forget to also moisturize your hands, since they often come into contact with water and are exposed to the cold air.milk + honey intense hydration cream
  4. Always carry lip balm with you: Your lips can be exceptionally sensitive to the colder weather, so it’s best to keep them moisturized and protected. Use occlusive balms to seal moisture in, and consider using a lip mask at night to make sure your lips stay hydrated through the night.milk + honey lip balm
  5. Wear sunscreen daily: It’s important that you continue to wear sunscreen as part of your winter skin care routine. Even if the day is gray and snowy, sunscreen ensures your skin is staying protected from harmful damage caused by UV rays.
  6. Incorporate skincare oils: Use a hydrating oil after applying your moisturizer. Oils can add an extra layer of moisture to help keep your skin hydrated in the winter and provide antibacterial and healing properties to keep your skin looking its best.milk + honey face oil
  7. Use a heavier nighttime cream: Night creams contain ingredients that hydrate your skin slowly over several hours. This ensures that you wake up in the morning with plump, hydrated skin. In the long term, night creams can reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve your skin’s elasticity.
  8. Use an overnight mask: If a heavy night cream isn’t cutting it, consider investing in an overnight mask. Overnight masks can help lock in your products, like oils, creams, and serums, to keep everything working more effectively without evaporating away. Masks don’t only seal in your winter skin care products, but they also provide a barrier from the dry, cold air, to prevent further moisture loss. For extra hydration, keep a humidifier on throughout the night to ensure the air around you isn’t drying out your skin.
  9. Incorporate hydrating ingredients into your winter skincare routine: Changing your skin care routine can seem like a daunting task – but it doesn’t have to be! Look for these ingredients to build out your own ultimate winter skincare routine:
    • Hyaluronic acid – Hyaluronic acid helps bind and retain water molecules so that skin can appear dewier and more hydrated.
    • Ceramides – Ceramides help create a barrier to lock in moisture into your skin, which helps prevent dryness and irritation.
    • Lipids – Lipids, such as grapeseed oil, can help shield and protect the skin from the dry air to promote moisture retention.
    • Aloe vera – Aloe vera is a soothing ingredient that can help alleviate the pain of cracked skin and can help along with the healing process. Not only can it heal your cracked skin, it also can add an extra layer of moisture and protection to your skin.
    • Lactic acid – Lactic acid is a gentle exfoliant that helps remove accumulated dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin. Find products with lactic acid if you feel physical exfoliation is too rough on your skin.
    • Glycerin – Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it helps draw water to the skin to make sure your skin remains feeling hydrated and refreshed.

Winter Skin Care Tips

Once you have a winter skin care routine down, it’s important to get in the habit of protecting your skin, both indoors and outdoors. Follow these additional winter skin care tips to ensure your skin stays healthy and hydrated in the winter:

  • Invest in a humidifier: With cold weather comes dry air – both inside and outside. Invest in a humidifier to make sure that enough moisture is in the air to prevent your skin from drying out.
  • Avoid hot baths & showers: Hot water can irritate sensitive or dry skin. Try to use lukewarm water when taking a shower or a bath. You’ll also want to limit how much time you spend in the shower to avoid stripping the moisture from your skin.
  • Wear comfortable, non-irritating clothing: When going outside, wear clothing that can act as a barrier between you and the elements. Wear gloves, ear muffs, and scarves and make sure you’re choosing fabrics that aren’t scratchy or irritating.
  • Lower the thermostat: Turning up the thermostat can contribute to dry air that can cause cracked, dull skin. Consider turning it down to a cozy 68°F to 72°F to ensure your skin stays hydrated while indoors.
  • Moisturize frequently: If you feel your skin getting dry throughout the day, carry a small cream or balm with you that you can apply while on-the-go. Don’t forget to also grab your lip balm!
  • Layer your skincare: Layer your skincare to help lock in moisture to prevent dry skin during the winter season. A good rule of thumb is to layer lightest to heaviest (toner, serum, moisturizer, oil, cream/mask).
