    PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections involve using a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood to promote healing and regeneration in various tissues, including the skin, hair, and joints.
  • Where does the PRP come from?
    PRP is obtained from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors before being injected into the treatment area.
  • How is the PRP prepared?
    After drawing a small amount of blood, it is placed in a centrifuge that spins at high speeds to separate the platelets from other blood components. The concentrated PRP is then extracted and ready for injection.
  • What are the benefits of PRP injections?
    Benefits include stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin rejuvenation, improving skin tone and texture, supporting hair restoration, alleviating joint pain, and using natural ingredients with minimal risk of allergic reactions.

  • What Is Kybella
    Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that reduces submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, by destroying fat cells in the targeted area.
  • How Does Kybella Work?
    Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
  • Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
    Ideal candidates for Kybella are adults with moderate to severe submental fullness who prefer a non-surgical option for fat reduction and have realistic expectations about the results.

    Kybella provides long-lasting results. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, meaning the effects are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.

    A: Neuromodulators (otherwise known as neurotoxins) include Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. Neuromodulators consists of miniscule amounts of a substance called Botulism Toxin A.

  • Q: What are typical “number of units” an individual will need?
    A: After your certified aesthetic injector has evaluated your facial muscles; they will be able to determine the correct amount of units for each area and for your desired results.

See the “typical” number of units below: Glabella area (between the brows/11’s): 12-20 units for Botox, Xeomin or Jeuveau and 30-50 for Dysport. Forehead: 8-20 units (B, X, J) and 20-30 units for Dysport Crow’s Feet (Lateral eye area): 8-20 units (B, X, J) and 10-35 units for Dysport Lip Flip (to evert upper lip to appear fuller): 4 units (B, X, J) and 10 units Dysport
