Facial fillers are among the most popular cosmetic treatments to restore facial volume, soften wrinkles, and plump the lips. One of the benefits of fillers is that they’re not permanent, making them a wonderful option for patients who don’t want to commit to cosmetic surgery. 

However, many patients aim to keep their fillers for as long as possible. With fewer follow-up appointments, you’ll have more time back in your schedule (and money back in your pocket!).

Volume loss is a common sign of aging, but it can impact people earlier in adulthood, too. No matter when it occurs, facial volume loss can create an aged appearance. 

Understanding volume loss in the cheeks can help you slow the onset of skin aging and find aesthetic treatments in Tampa to suit your needs. 

What Causes Volume Loss in the Cheeks?

Over time, the skin produces less collagen and elastin. These proteins give the skin strength, structure, and elasticity. Diminishing collagen and elastin levels typically cause lost volume in the cheeks and under-eye area.  (more…)

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…)

If you’re tired of unwanted hair returning just days (or even hours) after shaving, you may be interested in laser hair removal. This hair removal method is lauded as a long-lasting alternative to shaving and waxing. But, how long does laser hair removal truly last?

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?

Laser hair removal can last for several months, years, or may even be permanent. It all comes down to how many treatment sessions you undergo, and the results can vary from patient to patient.  (more…)

If you’re looking for a way to reduce stubborn fat and achieve a more sculpted appearance, consider VASERlipo. This innovative alternative to traditional liposuction creates a slimmer, more defined look with less pain and recovery time. 

The key advantages of VASERlipo are:

Ultrasound Technology for Less Tissue Damage

During VASERlipo, ultrasound probes are inserted into the skin through a small incision. The ultrasound technology breaks up the fatty tissue before it’s vacuumed away through a cannula. This process leads to less damage to the surrounding tissues than conventional liposuction.  (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…)
