Dysport
Dysport is a brand of botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox. It works by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, causing the targeted muscles to relax. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which smooths out wrinkles and reduces muscle spasms. It's FDA-approved for aesthetic use, particularly to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles caused by muscle movements (e.g., frown lines, crow's feet).

Lip Flip
A lip flip is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific muscles around the upper lip. The primary purpose of this treatment is to enhance the appearance of the lips, giving them a fuller, more defined look without the need for lip fillers. It works by relaxing the muscles that pull the upper lip down, causing the lip to naturally roll slightly upward, creating the illusion of a more pouty and full upper lip.
Treatment Length: Approximately 15-20 minutes
Treatment Frequency: Every 3-4 Months
Cost: $125
Dermal Filler
Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are used in cosmetic treatments to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to keep skin hydrated, plump, and youthful-looking. Over time, the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, contributing to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in the face. Dermal Filler injections help to replenish this lost volume, smooth out lines, and provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Sculptra
Sculptra is a unique type of injectable dermal filler used primarily for restoring facial volume and stimulating collagen production. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid-based fillers (like Restylane), which immediately fill in wrinkles or add volume, Sculptra works more gradually over time to revitalize the skin and improve its texture and thickness.
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). When injected into the skin, PLLA stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, which helps restore lost volume and improve skin structure over a longer period. As a result, Sculptra's effects are gradual and can last for up to 2 years or more.
Treatment Length: Approximately 60 minutes
Treatment Frequency: Ranges from 1-3 treatment sessions, then annual maintenance
Cost: $700 / vial
PDO Threads
PDO threads (Polydioxanone threads) are a type of non-surgical treatment used for skin lifting, tightening, and rejuvenation. PDO thread tightening is a procedure where fine threads made from a biocompatible material (polydioxanone) are inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen production and create a tightening effect. The threads dissolve naturally over time, and as they do, they promote skin tightening and improved skin texture.
Treatment Length: Approximately 45 minutes
Treatment Frequency: Typically 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Cost: $200 / pack of 5 threads
