Pregnancy triggers a variety of changes in the body that may linger even after you’ve given birth. For example, after pregnancy, most women experience lost elasticity in the skin around the abdomen. This results from the stretching that occurs in pregnancy. 

Unfortunately, the skin doesn’t immediately bounce back after childbirth. However, we offer non-surgical treatments in Florida that can safely tighten and firm loose skin after pregnancy, helping you regain self-confidence without a lengthy recovery period.  (more…)

Winter is an ideal season to complete the beauty treatments that you’ve been eyeing all year round. Not only can a cosmetic procedure be a holiday gift to yourself, but winter breaks from work can give you ample time to make appointments and recover from your treatment of choice in Tampa. 

The following procedures are ideal to get done in the winter, as they involve small incisions. It’s important to limit sun exposure as incisions heal to prevent scarring. In the winter, fewer activities take place outdoors and people tend to spend more time indoors, leading to less sun exposure. By completing these treatments in the winter, you won’t have to miss out on your favorite outdoor activities while you heal.  (more…)

Botox and dermal fillers have become some of the most popular aesthetic treatments for signs of aging. They’re both injectables, meaning that they provide the benefits of fast results and little to no downtime. However, they’re distinct treatments that can be used in different situations. Read on to learn more about how Botox and dermal fillers differ – and how they can help you reach your aesthetic goals. 

Botox vs. Dermal Fillers: How Do They Work?

Botox and dermal fillers work differently to rejuvenate the face. Botox decreases the force of facial muscle contractions. Fillers work by filling in space- usually, the connective tissue that may be a little deflated. Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid as the active ingredient.  (more…)
