Face+Neck

From Breakouts to Brilliance 

Acne is a common skin condition that arises when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and sometimes cysts, primarily on the face, neck, back, and chest. Despite being common, acne can cause significant social and emotional distress. While there is no one-size-fits-all professional acne treatment, there are many solutions that can address the visible blemishes, while preventing scarring, boosting self-confidence, and improving overall skin health.

Key Benefits of Acne Care

• Reduce and Eliminate Breakouts 
  Begin treatments that can reduce acne and prevent acne from worsening.
• Prevent or Improve Scarring
  Treat acne early to reduce future scarring.
• Improve Self-Confidence
  Address acne concerns to avoid negative effects on self-esteem.

Refresh your appearance with minimal downtime

Botox® and other injectable treatments known as “fillers” work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fill in spaces where the face has lost volume. These treatments are popular because they’re a safe, effective, relatively inexpensive and minimally invasive way to combat signs of aging. This means a quicker visit to your dermatologist or surgeon and less downtime after the procedure compared to an option like a facelift. However, it’s important to note that the results are temporary, requiring routine upkeep to maintain the smoothing, rejuvenating effects.

Key Benefits of Botox & Fillers

• Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles
  Relax fine lines and wrinkles non-surgically with neuromodulators.
• Replace Lost Volume 
  Enhance and restore lost volume to cheeks and temples and improve jawline with fillers.
• Enhance Facial Features 
  Plump your lips, enhance your chin, or define your nose with strategic filler placement.

Sculpt your cheeks for enhanced contours. 

Buccal fat pad removal is a cosmetic procedure to reduce prominent cheeks and create a more sculpted facial contour. This surgery is typically sought by individuals who feel they have an overly full facial appearance. By removing or repositioning deeper buccal fat pads inside the cheeks, a surgeon can help you attain a more defined facial structure. This procedure may be done alone or with other facial rejuvenation surgeries, such as chin augmentation and deep plane neck and facelifts.

Key Benefits of Buccal Fat Pad Repositioning/Removal 

• Give Definition to a Rounded Face
  Remove excess fat to make your cheekbones and jawline more prominent.
• Quickly Achieve Profound Results
  Significantly improve your facial appearance with a subtle procedure.
• Optimize Your Facial Harmony
  Shift the volume of your face to attain a youthful and balanced look.

Refine the contours of your mid & lower face

Surgeries using cheek and chin implants are cosmetic procedures designed to enhance facial contours and proportions. Cheek implants are made of synthetic materials and can be used to augment the volume and definition of the cheekbones, helping to sculpt and rejuvenate the midface. Similarly, chin implants can enhance the chin’s size and projection, improving the jawline and reducing the appearance of a double chin. Patients often choose chin implants to achieve better facial harmony, correct a weak or recessed chin, and improve their overall facial profile. These procedures can be done as stand-alone treatments or in combination with a facelift, neck lift, or rhinoplasty.

Key Benefits of Chin & Cheek Implants

• Correct a Weak or Recessed Chin
  Improve your chin’s size, contours, and projection.
• Recapture a Youthful Look
  Use cheek implants to plump up facial areas that lose volume through the natural aging process.
• Improve Facial Symmetry
  Reshape and rejuvenate the lower face to bring harmony and balance to your appearance.

Give your face a natural and youthful look

Facial and neck aging is influenced by genetic, hormonal, lifestyle, and environmental factors, leading to structural and functional changes in the skin, fat, muscle, and bone. This can result in wrinkles, jowls, neck changes, and a loss of youthful facial contours. A traditional facelift elegantly addresses the skin and the “SMAS” (a structural layer underneath the skin) to lift these sagging tissues. A deep plane facelift works on deeper layers of the face and neck, bringing a three-dimensional enhancement and comprehensively transforming the contours of the face. This technique allows for a more natural lift and repositioning, resulting in a more authentic-looking and long-lasting outcome.

Key Benefits of Deep Plane Facelift

• Reverse Signs of Aging
  Address underlying causes of aging by repositioning facial tissues  to a more youthful- and natural-looking position.
• Restore a More Youthful Appearance
  Contour your jawline, smooth and firm skin, and restore volume to the cheeks to refine your features and refresh your look.
• More Natural, Longer Lasting Results
  Restore the deeper elements of the facial structure for naturalistic results that endure.

Renew your lifted look 

Revision surgery for a facelift or neck lift is commonly performed for three primary reasons. The most frequent is to address the ongoing effects of aging many years after a successful initial surgery. Revision surgery can also address and correct any previous results that were unsatisfactory, whether they are aesthetic or functional; these may include scars, nerve injury, or other changes in the shape, size, symmetry, or contour of the treated areas. In the third case, revision surgery may be even more straightforward, focused on providing minor adjustments to enhance the results of the initial procedure.

Key Benefits of Face & Neck Revisions

• Recapture Your Enhanced Look
  Following successful surgery, touch up your improvements to counter the effects of the natural aging process.
• Correct Imperfections
  Address issues such as scarring or asymmetry from a previous procedure.
• Improve Facial Harmony and Aesthetics
  Optimize the aesthetic results of a previous facelift or neck lift to achieve an optimal look.

Surround your smile with definition and youthfulness 

A facelift is an elegant surgical procedure that can target sagging cheeks, jowls, deep folds, or a lack of definition in your face and neck, making the areas appear more defined and taut. You might consider this procedure if the skin below your chin or neckline feels slack or if you want a stronger jawline and smoother appearance. Although the name implies simply “lifting” the skin, a facelift is a more delicate and nuanced procedure that repositions tissues back to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position.

Facelift Key Benefits

• Tighten Sagging Facial Skin
  Remove excess skin and tighten muscles to restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Enhance Jawline by Removing Jowls
  Elevate the skin and tissues to provide a tighter, slimmer jawline.
• Address Multiple Signs of Aging at Once 
  Restore your vibrancy, boost self-confidence and enhance self-esteem.

Help your body and identity align.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a set of surgical procedures designed to better align a person’s facial features with their gender identity. This surgery may be effective for transgender women or other individuals undergoing a gender transition.

FFS, also known as facial gender affirmation surgery, typically involves a combination of procedures. These include scalp hairline advancement, forehead contouring, a brow lift, rhinoplasty, jaw and chin contouring, and tracheal chondroplasty (Adam’s apple reduction).

The goal of FFS is to help alleviate gender dysphoria by achieving a facial appearance that reflects your gender identity, promoting a greater sense of congruence between your inner self and outward appearance. FFS can be a crucial aspect of a comprehensive approach to gender transition, facilitating both physical and emotional aspects of your journey toward authentic gender expression.

Key Benefits of Facial Feminization Surgery

• Manifest Your Sense of Self
  Alter facial features so that your gender identity and outward appearance better align.
• Lessen Discomfort
  Make changes that help to ease feelings of gender dysphoria and alter the dynamics of personal and social situations.
• Boost Confidence
  Feel empowered to tackle the challenges of everyday life by achieving a more authentic gender expression.

Bring your expressions back to life.

“Facial reanimation” is a catchall phrase for surgical procedures aimed at restoring movement and function to facial muscles that have become paralyzed due to facial nerve damage. Facial paralysis often results from trauma, tumors, infections, or neurological disorders, and it can significantly impact a person’s ability to express emotions and meet the challenges of everyday life.

Performing facial reanimation surgery encompasses a wide array of techniques. The goal is not only to address functional deficits but also to help individuals regain a more natural range of facial movements, ultimately restoring their quality of life.

Key Benefits of Facial Reanimation 

• Restore Your Smile & Facial Movement
  Counter effects of facial nerve damage that can lead to difficulties in smiling, communicating, and expressing emotions.
• Enhance Your Quality of Life
  Improve your well-being and self-esteem by eliminating functional difficulties and discomforts in areas around the mouth and eyes.
• Bring Symmetry to Your Appearance
  Correct drooping or sagging that affects both or only one side of your face.

Naturally restore facial volume 

While fat may feel like an unappealing word, it’s a vital substance for the body. It not only gives us energy, protects our organs and supports cell growth but is crucial in providing the volume that underlies a youthful-looking face. Volume loss due to fat atrophy, and resorption of bones (the process of bone tissue breaking down), are some of the most critical aspects of facial aging. A fat transfer is one of several methods that can be used to restore that volume.

Key Benefits of Fat Transfer (Face)

• Replace Lost Facial Volume
  Restore volume and contour, lifting and rejuvenating the face in three dimensions.
• Enhance Facial Shape and Youthful Features
  Redefine and reshape areas such as the cheeks and jawline to provide a more balanced look.
• Smooth Deep Wrinkles and Hollows
  Correct age-related creases that occur in the nasolabial folds and fill depressions underneath the eyes.

Smooth out fine lines.

Fine lines typically form due to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences. They are very common, forming as collagen and elastin fibers in the skin weaken over time, resulting in decreased skin elasticity and moisture retention. In addition to the natural aging process and inherent disposition, excessive sun exposure, stress, smoking, and poor nutrition can accelerate the development of fine lines. A range of effective treatment options can minimize their appearance, including injectables, facials, peels and laser therapy, as well as over-the-counter and prescription topical skincare products.

Key Benefits of Fine Lines Treatment

• Rejuvenate Your Complexion
  Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet, for a more youthful look.
• Boost Your Confidence
  Combat signs of aging that can lead to emotional distress and lower self-esteem.
• Look Refreshed Without a Long Recovery
  Harness powerful approaches that can be completed as “lunchtime” procedures, requiring little if any downtime.

General skin care involves a routine aimed at maintaining and enhancing skin health. It includes fundamental steps like cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting the skin from aging and sun damage through daily sunscreen application. While there are good practices everyone can adopt, tailoring your skin care routine to your individual skin type—such as oily, dry, combination, or sensitive—will ensure optimal results. The stakes are not just cosmetic. Maintaining good skin health also has functional effects like supporting the skin’s barrier function and minimizing risks of certain medical issues related to the skin.

Key Benefits of General Skin Care

• Improves Skin Quality, Texture, and Tone
  Prevent blemishes, reduce pores and improve hyperpigmentation.
• Helps Skin Appear More Youthful
  Hydrate and renew your skin surface for a more radiant complexion.
• Supports Overall Health
  Protect your body from sun damage, toxins and dehydration.

Regain your facial harmony.

Facial lacerations are injuries that result in cuts or tears to the skin and underlying tissues of the face; these are often caused by accidents, falls, or sports-related incidents. These injuries require immediate attention due to the face’s complex anatomy and its importance in appearance and expression.

Treatment typically involves careful cleaning, precise wound closure, and meticulous suturing techniques to minimize scarring and preserve facial function. A skilled practitioner will consider the laceration’s location, depth, and direction to determine the most appropriate treatment approach, including layered closures or specific suturing methods to achieve optimal healing and aesthetic results.

Key Benefits of Laceration Treatment (Face)

• Enhance Healing and Skin Appearance
  Avoid complications and unwanted aesthetic outcomes by having your wound meticulously closed.
• Minimize Scarring 
  Significantly reduce scarring by seeking early treatment from a skilled surgeon.
• Maintain Function and Sensation
  Address damage to underlying nerves, muscles or cartilages that may have been impacted.

Reveal more youthful-looking skin.

Facials vary widely in their use of tools, which can range from an aesthetician’s hands to an array of medical devices. Techniques may leverage the power of lights, electrical currents, extractions, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or microneedling. “Medical facials” usually include at least one of these latter steps, going beyond basic cleansing and care. The goal of such treatments is to address skin concerns while unveiling a fresher, smoother layer beneath the surface. Whether seeking a subtle refresh or deep restoration, medical facials offer a path to glowing and radiant skin.

Key Benefits of Medical Facials 

• Improve Your Skin’s Appearance and Health
  Enhance your skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and achieve a more youthful-looking complexion.
• Deeply Restore Your Skin
  Go beyond the typical treatments offered at a day spa to address your specific skin concerns with powerful techniques and devices.
• Boost Your Self-Image
  Work with an experienced provider who can develop a customized plan that helps you walk through the world with confidence.

Recapture a more youthful look and feel. 

“Menopause Makeover” is a catch-all term for a procedure or set of procedures that target areas of the body that change during the time of life when women undergo menopause, typically in their 40s or 50s.

Menopause significantly impacts the entire body composition such as an increase in abdominal fat and a decrease in muscle mass, as well as skin changes like thinning and decreased elasticity. The hormonal changes triggered by this natural process cause collagen loss, softening of cartilage, and weakening of bones, leading to issues such as drooping brows, lax eyelids, a less defined jawline, and deep-set wrinkles. Body shape may also change, particularly in areas such as the breasts and abdomen.

A range of procedures may be part of a treatment plan for issues related to facial appearance, including blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), chin implant, rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, and neck lift. Procedures that address areas beyond the face include a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction.

Key Benefits of Menopause Makeover

• Rejuvenate your facial appearance
  Combats effects of hormonal changes that can lead to drooping or sagging skin in the face and neck.
• Optimize your body contours
  Revitalize areas of the body, such as the breasts or abdomen, that have lost shape and definition.
• Boost your self-confidence
  Increase your self-esteem following a significant stage in life.

Harness your skin’s power of renewal.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments address the signs of facial aging by harnessing the natural growth factors contained in platelets, small fragments in your blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding. These growth factors can stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration when injected into the skin. The process helps to improve skin texture, elasticity, and volume, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines to yield a rejuvenated look. PRP injections into the scalp have also been shown to improve hair growth and thickness, providing a promising treatment for hair restoration.

Key Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment

• Improve Your Skin Texture and Tone
  Promote skin cell turnover and healing to reveal a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
• Use a Natural Approach
  Leverage a powerful substance that occurs in your own body to improve the appearance of your skin, without the need for fillers.
• Enjoy Results Without Downtime
  Help give more elasticity and firmness to your skin with a process that requires very little time for recovery.

Bring enlarged pores down to size.

Prominent and enlarged pores, which give the skin a textured rather than smooth appearance, are primarily caused by excessive sebum (oil) production, which stretches the pores, and genetic factors that affect both skin type and pore size. On top of this, the natural aging process and sun damage can contribute to a loss of skin elasticity, which makes pores appear larger, while the buildup of dead skin cells and impurities can further exacerbate their appearance.

Dermatologists generally manage enlarged pores by implementing a multifaceted strategy that includes several steps: regular cleansing, the use of retinoids or exfoliants to remove dead skin cells, and controlling sebum production. This is often complemented by treatments such as laser therapy or chemical peels. Consistent skin care regimens that include non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) products are also key to long-term outcomes.

Key Benefits of Pore Size Treatments

• Smooth the Texture of Your Skin
  Minimize the appearance of large pores that can give your complexion a dimpled or rough appearance.
• Improve Your Skin Health
  Leverage treatments that can help keep your skin clearer and healthier by minimizing clogged pores and reducing the likelihood of breakouts.
• Boost Your Confidence
  Give your face a more youthful-looking glow, minimizing distress associated with facial aesthetic issues.

Even out your skin tone

Uneven and excessive skin pigmentation occurs when the body is producing excess melanin. This production can occur for many reasons, including exposure to sun, hormonal changes, inflammation, or genetics. There is a range of treatments that can help to even out the skin pigmentation and create a more balanced look. These include topical skincare products, lightening agents, chemical peels, and laser therapy.

One of the main benefits of treating hyperpigmentation is that by utilizing exfoliation and collagen regeneration methods, you can improve not just your hyperpigmentation but the overall appearance of your skin.

Key Benefits of Skin Pigmentation Treatments

• Even Out Skin Tone and Pigmentation
  Achieve a more balanced complexion.
• Target Age-Related Discoloration
  Address age spots, yielding a more youthful appearance.
• Improve the Overall Appearance of Your Skin
  Achieve additional benefits, such as brightening skin, from treatments that address pigmentation.

Get your glow back 

Skin resurfacing and smoothing treatments encompass a range of non-surgical procedures that are designed to enhance the appearance of your skin. These treatments target a range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, tone and texture, age spots and scars, pigmentation issues, and lack of elasticity in the skin. The common thread is helping you achieve a refreshed and revitalized look.

Key Benefits of Skin Resurfacing & Smoothing Treatments

• Rejuvenate Your Skin
  Remove old skin and promote new growth for a younger, more refreshed appearance.
• Reduce Hyperpigmentation and Target Discoloration
  Address discoloration and age spots to reveal more even skin tone.

Gently rejuvenate your face 

Skin tightening treatments refer to a range of procedures that aim to firm, lift and rejuvenate the face without surgery. They’re a popular option for those who want to enhance their appearance and address signs of aging but prefer a non-invasive approach. The results won’t be as dramatic as they would with a facelift, but these gentler procedures can be effective for Improving the skin tone and dealing with mild skin laxity, especially in areas such as the lower face and neck.

Key Benefits of Skin Tightening Treatments

• Tighten Skin Without Surgery
  Improve mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body without surgery or scars.
• Look Refreshed with Minimal Downtime
  Non-invasive treatments provide a “lifting” effect and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improve Skin Texture and Tone
  Stimulate collagen and elastin to restore a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.

Correct problematic scarring.

Scars are a natural part of the healing process, influenced by genetics, wound care, and the location of an incision. Ideally, scars heal well, becoming thin and minimally visible, often in hidden locations. However, some scars can heal poorly, resulting in hypertrophic scars — which are raised and red but confined to the original wound area — or keloid scars, which extend beyond the original wound boundaries and are thick, raised, and prominent.

While most surgical incisions heal inconspicuously, problematic scars can sometimes cause aesthetic or functional issues. In addition to their poor appearance, scars can also lead to problems such as restricted movement, pain, and sensitivity in the affected area. There are various surgical and non-invasive treatments to minimize such scars and their effects.

Key Benefits of Surgical Scar Treatment

• Minimize the Appearance of Scars
  Utilize techniques to help scars appear less visible and more harmonious with the rest of your skin.
• Restore Function and Reduce Discomfort
  Correct scar-related problems such as restricted movement, pain, and sensitivity in the affected area.
