Happy YOU Year

With the turn of the New Year, it’s time to say “Happy YOU Year!” Resolutions often fade quickly, so act now with medspa upgrades that refresh your look.

What is the key ingredient in a youthful face? Most people would answer tight smooth skin. And while great skin is important, it is worthless if it has nothing underneath. The most important elements of a youthful face are volume and shape which we can now achieve with some of the new fillers when used properly.

While no filler replaces facelift-level results, replacing volume provides impressive improvements. Dr. Core offers Juvederm Voluma, a longer lasting member of the Juvederm family that restores fullness for a rounder, smoother, more youthful appearance.

In addition, some standby fillers like Sculptra and Restylane, plus Prevelle Silk, remain valuable in specific situations:

JUVEDERM(R) can be used to restore lost facial volume, add contour to the face, and for fill in deep lines and wrinkles. Typically, JUVEDERM(R) injections take thirty minutes, and Dr. Core can smooth out wrinkles and creases while improving the appearance of hollowness in the cheeks, often offering dramatic results. Even better, JUVEDERM(R) can last up to nine months, reducing the number of treatments needed overtime.

Restylane(R) is another great option to enhance your facial appearance. This product is identical to hyaluronic acid, a natural compound found in our bodies. It is applied with a fine need and can smooth out lines, shape facial contours, and even sculpt the lips. Like BOTOX(R), this treatment only takes around an hour and can be performed over your lunch break.

Botox, the world’s most popular cosmetic procedure, lessens fine lines quickly. Between work and home, stress takes a toll on your skin, and your face is often first to show it. Botox temporarily smooths wrinkles for a rested look, typically in under an hour with little downtime.

For those who are looking to rejuvenate and restore a more refreshed appearance to the face, MicroLaserPeel(R) is perfect. Taking only about 15 to 30 minutes, the MicroLaserPeel(R) is quick and easy. Results typically take around three to four days to appear but can renew your skin with minimal downtime and beautiful results.

Dr. Core has been shaping faces with fillers since 1998 and has extensive experience with all agents. He uses proprietary injection techniques to minimize pain and bruising.
