When we address jawline contouring, we don’t just look at one area - we consider all the layers involved.

Skin, muscle and fat all play a role in how the neck and mandible are defined. For some patients, that means adding structure with filler. For others, relaxing the platysma muscle with Botox. And in cases where fullness under the chin is the main concern, submental liposuction can create the most noticeable, long-lasting change with minimal downtime.

Neck Lipo is performed under local anesthesia and removes unwanted fat, and tightens the skin. It is an amazing minimally invasive procedure that can truly transform the neck area resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

If you are considering jawline contouring please contact our office! We are happy to come up with a custom treatment plan that fits your needs.

“Liquid facelift” has become a bit of a buzzword - especially this time of year. We’ve had more than a few patients come in after watching the Academy Awards with a very clear idea of what they don’t want.

In our consults, the conversation is more straightforward: what will actually support your anatomy and age well. Thoughtful filler can restore volume and soften early changes. But when laxity becomes more significant, surgery often gives a cleaner, more natural result than continuing to add product.

Because we offer both, the plan stays centered on you - not the procedure.

Please contact a member of our team if you would like to schedule a consultation appointment. We take pride in building custom treatment plans for each patient!

Most people hear “CO2 Laser” and immediately think weeks of downtime.

This is not the case with CoolPeel! This treatment is a controlled, fractional CO2 laser designed to target the top layer of the skin. It improves texture, fine lines, sun damage and stimulate collagen without the prolonged recover of traditional resurfacing.

Our process looks like:
- Topical numbing cream
- Customized settings
- Precise, controlled passes
- Intentional post-care serums (because recovery is just as important!)

Immediately after: pink, warm, tight
3 weeks later: brighter, smoother, glowing skin

Lasers are powerful tools but outcomes come down to technique, patient selection and aftercare.

Please send us a message for consultation inquiries. We are happy to assist with custom skincare regimens!

Three months can fly by when it comes to neurotoxin treatment 💉

For patients who feel like they’re just settling into their Botox results when it’s already time to come back, Daxxify offers a longer lasting alternative. Many patients see results closer to 4–6 months, with a slower return to baseline lines and wrinkles.

It’s also a great option for those treating TMJ or clenching, since longer duration can mean more sustained symptom relief from teeth grinding such as headaches.

Contact our office to inquire about Daxxify treatments!

Thread lifts are a refined, minimally invasive option for subtle lifting and tightening without surgery.

By placing dissolvable threads beneath the skin, we can improve nasolabial folds, early jowls, and loose skin of the face and neck- while also stimulating collagen for long-term support.

We offer two different thread types, allowing us to customize treatment based on your anatomy and desired result. With experience, precision, and a strong focus on safety, our goal is always natural, elegant outcomes.

Please contact our office for a personalized consultation.

Not every lip enhancement needs filler.

Using small amounts of neurotoxin around the mouth, we can gently relax the muscles that pull the upper lip up - reducing a gummy smile and allowing the lip to softly roll outward. When combined thoughtfully, a lip flip and gummy smile treatment can enhance the smiling a very natural, effortless way.

Our honest take on upper lid blepharoplasty 🥼

We hear it often - patients are told they *need* sedation. In reality, upper lid surgery is a precise skin procedure that typically takes about 20-30 minutes and can be comfortably performed under local anesthesia. No sedation, no unnecessary recovery.

The payoff is significant: brighter, more open eyes and a refreshed appearance that still looks like you. Downtime is relatively quick, results are impactful, and it’s one of those procedures that makes a significant difference for the patient.

Contact our office to talk though if it’s the right fit for you.

Too young for a facelift?? 🧐

We get this question more often than you think!

While facelifts aren’t about chasing age, timing does matter. Patients who address early laxity often maintain more natural-looking results as they get older because there is less correction needed to achieve a great outcome.

Modern facelifts are strategic, customized and designed to support how the face ages long-term.

So no, .pa does not need a facelift (…yet 😂) but we do recommend starting sooner rather than later for the best results!

If you’re wondering what makes sense for you- having a facelift now or later- please contact our office to schedule a consultation.
