Facial sculpting using fillers and biostimulators is a source of joy for aesthetic providers. The primary goal is to enhance the patient’s natural features instead of altering them significantly. Each facial sculpting procedure should be customized to meet the unique aesthetic needs of the patient. Providers should pay special attention to the features that the patient wishes to enhance. Subtle amounts of filler should be applied to areas that are naturally contoured and do not require extensive enhancement.
For personalized facial sculpting please email gk@gkderm.com or call ☎️ 781-812-1078. We know this can be stressful and upsetting, and we have a curative plan. as we know how stressful and upsetting this can be and have a curative plan.

Filler injections in the hands are becoming increasingly popular! I am excited to share my latest paper, which has just been published in 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮. This paper examines in depth various dermal fillers, including hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite ( ), and poly-L-lactic acid ( ), in the context of hand rejuvenation. These fillers can effectively address volume loss, contour irregularities, and textural changes associated with aging.

In this publication, we emphasize the injection techniques, efficacy, and longevity of these fillers. Each filler discussed has a strong safety profile and yields satisfactory aesthetic results, contributing to high patient satisfaction. HA fillers offer immediate volume restoration and hydration, while Radiesse and Sculptra are particularly beneficial for enhancing skin texture and quality.

This new publication 📄 discusses the opportunities, limitations, and ethical considerations of leveraging (AI) to assist clinicians in detecting (BDD), fostering safer patient outcomes, and advancing the compassionate practice of aesthetic medicine. AI should not accelerate aesthetic procedures but promote reflective, ethically sound decision-making. When integrated responsibly, it can enhance recognition of BDD, support psychological safety, and preserve patient trust through transparency, data protection, and clinician oversight.

Very pleased with the outcome of this research and primary investigator, . Follow for relevant information.

Botox, Microbotox, or BOTH? We often need both in the patient. Botox injections fix dynamic lines (deep wrinkles) caused by muscle contraction, while Microbotox helps with fine lines, redness, oiliness, pore size, and overall texture. Many patients typically present with a combination of these issues, making it advisable to perform both procedures for optimal results. The video showcases impressive outcomes for a patient with rosacea who received full-face Microbotox injections, which significantly improved fine lines, redness, and overall skin texture.

An update about the FDA’s recent warning regarding the risks of Radiofrequency (RF)-Microneedling. While these devices can provide effective results in skin resurfacing and tightening, the warning has led to some confusion. It’s important to note that the risks are rare when the procedure is performed by experienced aesthetic providers who follow appropriate treatment protocols. Additionally, adhering to aftercare instructions can further reduce the likelihood of complications.
The FDA didn’t say not to use such devices, but to be aware that they come with potential risks. Before consenting to the procedure, it is advisable to discuss both the benefits and risks with your Board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
