Retinoids are the gold standard in skincare — and yes, almost everyone should be on one.

Whether your goal is acne control, smoother texture, fading pigment, or long-term anti-aging, nothing has more clinical evidence behind it than vitamin A derivatives (retinol, retinal, and prescription retinoids).

They work by:
• increasing cell turnover
• stimulating collagen
• improving tone and texture
• preventing and treating breakouts
• softening fine lines over time

But the key is using the RIGHT one — at the RIGHT strength — with the RIGHT schedule.

Too strong too fast = irritation
Too weak = no real change
Inconsistent use = wasted effort

This is why a personalized plan matters.

Not everyone should start on prescription.
Not everyone should stay on beginner retinol.
And not every skin type tolerates the same progression.

I help patients build retinoid plans based on:
• skin sensitivity
• acne vs aging goals
• current treatments
• lifestyle + consistency
• budget

That’s how we create real skin change — not just temporary glow.

If you’re not currently on a retinoid, or not sure if yours is actually working, let’s fix that.

Book a consult and I’ll build a regimen that makes sense for your skin. I have several fantastic ZO Skin Health options in office or we can progress to a prescription.

tox is THAT girl

02/03/2026

This is a full 1 syringe of lip filler—placed strategically to enhance her anatomy, not create someone else’s lips.

Her goal: more volume, but subtle
My goal: balance, shape, and proportion

That’s why you’ll notice:
• The syringe looks different in each lip
• Placement varies side to side
• Volume is distributed intentionally—not evenly

And a reminder I always love to share:
🫐A syringe is only about the size of a blueberry.
Small amount. Thoughtful technique. Big difference.

Natural results aren’t about using less filler—they’re about using it correctly.

Book when you’re ready for lips that still look like you.

5 Things to Know About Lip Filler (From an Injector Who Does This Daily)

1️⃣ Lip filler is customizable — not one-size-fits-all
Every lip has a different shape, ratio, and movement pattern. Filler should be placed based on your anatomy and your goals—not trends. Subtle enhancement, shape correction, hydration, or structure can all be achieved with the right technique and product.

2️⃣ Does it hurt? Honestly… not much.
Most lip fillers contain lidocaine, and I also use topical numbing beforehand. You’ll feel pressure and a few quick pinches, but it’s very tolerable for the majority of patients. The procedure is short, and discomfort is brief.

3️⃣ Swelling is normal (and temporary)
Expect swelling for a few days, sometimes up to a week. Lips may feel firm at first and soften as the filler settles. What you see immediately after is not your final result.

4️⃣ Less is often more (especially at first)
You don’t need a full syringe to see beautiful results. Many first-time patients start with a half syringe for balance and shape, then build slowly over time. Natural results come from conservative, thoughtful treatment.

5️⃣ Good lip filler moves with your face
Well-placed filler should feel soft and look natural when you talk, smile, and laugh. Stiff or overfilled lips aren’t a requirement for volume—they’re a sign of imbalance, not better results.

For the lips in the photo- we did a 1/2 syringe to a naturally fuller lip to add hydration and subtle plumping.

If you want your lips healed by Vday, now is the time to book 💋

Before → After: 2 weeks post-Tox ✨

This before & after is taken exactly two weeks apart, which is when neuromodulators (aka “tox”) are considered fully kicked in.

Here’s how tox actually works:

Days 1–3:
You usually won’t see much change yet. The product is binding to the nerve endings, but the muscles are still contracting normally.

Days 4–7:
You’ll start to notice lines softening and less movement. This is when most people say, “I think it’s starting to kick in.”

Days 10–14 (full effect window):
This is when you see the true final outcome — smoother skin, relaxed muscles, and a refreshed, rested look.
➡️ This photo is right in that full-effect window.

Weeks 3–4 (most natural phase):
This is when tox really settles in and looks its most natural.
Any initial stiffness softens, facial movement feels more normal again, and everything blends beautifully into your expressions.

Around 8 weeks:
This is when subtle movement usually starts to return.
Not full strength yet — just soft flickers of motion as the nerve endings slowly regenerate.

⸻

How long does tox last?
Most people hold results for about 3–4 months, sometimes longer or shorter depending on:
• your metabolism/exercise/sun exposure/medications
• how expressive your face is
• dose and placement
• how consistently you treat over time

As the nerve endings regenerate, muscle movement gradually returns and lines slowly reappear.

⸻

Valentine’s Day timing tip 💘
If you want your tox fully settled, even, and perfected by Valentine’s Day, now is the ideal time to book.

This allows:
✔️ full effect by Feb 14
✔️ time for small refinements if needed
✔️ no last-minute rushing or stress
