This is a concern for many women, as very few people want to look like Goldie Hawn's character in the movie, "First Wives Club." Most women just want to have the natural fullness of their lips that they had in their youth. With Dermal Filler, we can outline the border of the lips which tends to shrink over the years. Perioral lines (lipstick lines) are minimized or erased with this procedure and once again, it's fun to wear lipstick.

After the treatment, some common injection-related reactions might occur, such as:

• swelling,
  

• bruising,
  

• redness,
  

• tenderness,
  

• itching,
  

• discoloration at the injection site.
  

Occasionally, treatment can trigger an acne flare.

These side effects resolve naturally within 1 to 14 days after the treatment.

Sculptra is an injectable facial material that is derived from fruit acid also known as poly-L- lactic acid. It is biocompatible (does not harm the body) and is biodegradable (metabolized by the body).

Before – Arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment time, to fill out any paper work and for numbing cream to be applied to area that is being treated.

During – Your Nurse Practitioner or Medical Aesthetician will apply a professional-grade device to your face and move it in sweeping or circular motions. A syringe of blood will be drawn, usually from your arm while your face is numbing.  The blood is then put into a centrifuge, which separates the PRP from the blood. The PRP solution is then massaged into the treatment area either during or after microneedling. The microneedling treatment opens channels into the skin, allowing for good penetration of the PRP. In the past, PRP has been injected into the skin, but it’s becoming more of a common practice to use it along with microneedling. .

After – Once the Procedure is finished, your Nurse or Medical Aesthetician will apply a Hyaluronic Acid Serum to soothe any redness, dryness and irritation. They may also use a portion of the blood drawn known as platelet-poor plasma.
