Inflammaging is a process by which chronic inflammation accelerates skin aging and age-associated skin conditions. Skin looks older than it should look – wrinkled, dry, pigmented, dull and reactive.

Jawline and Chin Sculpting
Jawline and chin sculpting with dermal fillers can reframe and change face shape instantly and beautifully. When well done, the jawline looks naturally defined, not too sharp and hyper-sculpted, but with stronger definition and improved facial shape. Jawline and chin sculpting with dermal fillers also can reduce the appearance of jowls, remodel facial proportions, and even create a slimmer face.
Common Bumps
Rare is the person who has never had a raised bump of some kind on their face or neck. There are many common face bumps, and generally, they remain harmless. Some resolve on their own. Some need medical intervention. All…

Lip Goals with Filler
Lip goals with dermal fillers are natural-looking, defined and smooth. Filler lip goals also include improved symmetry, shape and balance of facial features. Lips should never distract or distort facial balance. Any degree of lip enhancement changes overall facial appearance. Again, balance is key to natural lip goals.
Crepey Skin
Crepey skin, like crepe paper, appears flimsy, finely wrinkled, dehydrated and, basically, old. Crepey skin is first noticeable in thin skinned areas such as around eyes, upper arms, hands and neck. Without intervention and without warning, crepey skin can blanket the chest, upper legs, knees, lower arms and elbows.
Rx for Jowls
Jowls of all different degrees happen as we age, regardless of the efforts we make to halt the process. Besides time and aging, genetics and body shape are factors we can’t control. Other factors to blame for this sagging at the jawline include a long history of fluctuating weight, a few bad habits and the loss of elasticity.

Dry, cracked lips
Our delicate skinned, constantly moving mouths and colder, drier weather provide the perfect storm for lip issues. Add lip licking, saliva buildup and masks, the situation avalanches.
What’s the big deal with Retinoids?
The most ardent fans of retinoids are not only dermatologists, but also everyone who uses them properly and consistently. So, what makes retinoids such a big deal? Why are they the most prescribed anti-aging, anti-acne medications on the planet?

Fall Favorites
Cooler weather, covered skin and less time in the sun make Fall a perfect time to schedule lasers and chemical peels. Fall is also a great time to switch up a few skincare products.

Marionette Lines
Marionettes are a result of the general facial aging process: volume loss and loss of structural support from shrinking facial fat pads, bone and mineral loss (particularly the bony resorption of the mandible), decrease in collagen and elastin production and hormonal changes that thin and weaken skin. Movement, genetics and bad habits also contribute to development and severity of marionettes.
