Frequently Asked Questions
Micro-needling is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure. It uses a pen that contains fine needles that puncture the skin to create a controlled, fractionated skin injury.
These very fine punctures trigger the body to create new collagen and elastin.
- Improved texture and firmness
- More collagen production
- A reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.

Scarring on the skin is caused by the normal healing process of skin tissue after it is damaged from injury, infection, acne or disease. When too much collagen is produced by the skin during the healing process, the scar may appear raised.
The most popular options:

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that flow easily into the treatment areas. They help fill in lines and wrinkles and add volume to areas that commonly lose it, such as the area around the cheeks.
Voluma is a dermal filler consisting of a gel containing something called hyaluronic acid. This substance is already present in the human body. It contributes to skin hydration by holding water, combining with collagen and elastin to support skin structure and elasticity.
Over time, your body begins producing less hyaluronic acid, and the amount you do have begins breaking down more quickly. This leads to a loss of facial volume, as well as those pesky fine lines and wrinkles that can make you appear tired and older than your age.
Voluma helps to restore your normal, youthful levels of hyaluronic acid, creating a soft, natural-looking result. Your results will be immediate and will continue to improve over the following days. Since you are only restoring your levels of hyaluronic acid that have been depleted, your results will appear very natural and subtle. You will simply look like a younger, more refreshed version of yourself.
Based on the consultation, we will decide how much Voluma to use. Using a syringe, the Voluma will be placed in the spot that needs the filler by skilled hands. The procedure typically takes just minutes to perform, and little to no downtime is involved! Most clients can resume their everyday activities immediately after the treatment session.
If you want to minimize some common signs of aging on your face, an invasive surgical procedure may not be necessary. Using botox, fillers, and IV treatments we can enhance your beauty while keeping things natural as well. We are experts in looking at your needs in a holistic way.
