Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a type of facial rejuvenation treatment that helps with smoothing out lines and wrinkles, increasing volume, or augmenting facial contouring. This results in skin that appears younger, healthier, and gender-affirming.
What are dermal fillers made out of?
The most common type of dermal filler involves injecting a small amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) just beneath the skin. HA is a naturally forming substance that is probably found in the facial creams you’re already using.
Depending on your needs and goals, a variety of dermal fillers are available. You can schedule an appointment so we can talk about which one works best for you.
Where do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are commonly known as wrinkle fillers, so naturally, this painless procedure can be used anywhere on your face that is prone to wrinkles and lines. Likewise, they can also be used on your jawline and cheeks to enhance facial contouring.
Just a few treatment areas include: lips, smoker’s lines, laugh lines, frown and turned mouth corners, cheeks, under-eye, jawline, jowls, and your chin.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results typically last for 6 months and up to a year. As most fillers are made from naturally-occurring substances, they will gradually be absorbed by the body.

PDO Threads
PDO Threads lift lines and smooth out scars on your face and neck to achieve youthful, natural beauty. They’re ideal for reducing forehead elevens, acne scars, and necklace lines, rejuvenating your skin back to its prime.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are dissolvable sutures that lift up your skin in the least invasive way possible. PDO stands for polydioxanone, a type of biodegradable suture that helps hold up your skin and simultaneously encourages your body to produce more collagen. As collagen is that all-important protein that allows your skin to maintain its elasticity, PDO Threads reduce the signs of aging by enhancing the strength and elasticity of your skin.
PDO Threads are a great alternative to the more well-known Face Lift, as there’s no need for surgical intervention. In other words, it is a more cost-effective, safer, and quicker procedure.
What treatment areas are available for PDO Threads?
Any part of your face that is starting to show visible signs of aging can benefit from PDO Threads. It can be used to treat the areas around your mouth, cheeks, eyes, neck, forehead, and jaw.
How long does a PDO Thread last?
Every body is different, but generally, the effects of PDO Threads last for at least a year. The Aesthetic Surgery Journal cites that the procedure can have lasting effects for anywhere between 1 to 9 years.
Wrinkle Relaxers
Wrinkle Relaxers are some of the most well-known cosmetic treatments, being able to both prevent and reduce wrinkling of the skin. As wrinkling is primarily caused by your facial muscles repeating certain actions – frowning, laughing, squinting, etc., these injections work by causing your muscles to relax and allowing your skin time to recover.
What do Wrinkle Relaxers do?
Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily relaxing target face muscles that are causing lines and wrinkles, allowing your skin time to regain elasticity through combination treatments.
The treatment works by injecting a solution – typically either BOTOX, Dysport, or Xeomin – into the target area. After a few days, you’ll start to notice fewer lines. After 10 days, most people will see the full results of this anti-aging injection.
Are Wrinkle Relaxers safe?
When applied by well-trained professionals (like us!), Wrinkle Relaxers are a perfectly safe procedure that can be applied repeatedly over the years. As they only affect the muscles that are targeted by the injection, the rest of the body remains completely unharmed.
What are Wrinkle Relaxers made of?
Wrinkle Relaxers, both the BOTOX and Dysport products, contain a small amount of neuromodulators, a substance that directly affects your muscles’ ability to contract. While each product is slightly different, the end goal is the same – to have your muscles take a break so your skin looks firmer and more natural.
What areas can Wrinkle Relaxers treat?
Wrinkle Relaxers can be used to treat any area of the face with noticeable signs of aging. Some of the most common treatment areas are for crow’s feet, laugh lines, smoker’s lines, lower jowl, etc. in addition to pebbled chin, neck lines, and gummy smile.
Most of the time, people will combine Wrinkle Relaxers with Dermal Fillers for optimal rejuvenation. For example, you could opt for a lip filler, cheek filler, or chin filler in combination with a Wrinkle Relaxer to turn back the clock and help your skin regain its youthful quality.
Don’t forget – Wrinkle Relaxers aren’t purely aesthetic, they can also be used to treat migraines, clenching, and jaw pain!
How long do wrinkle relaxers last?
By themselves, the effects of Wrinkle Relaxers generally last for three months. Repeated treatments over time will allow your skin the time and the help it needs to regain its strength and youthfulness.
Gender Affirming Treatments
Gender-Affirming Treatments involve a professionally designed combination of non-surgical treatments to enhance the masculine or feminine qualities of specific areas of the face.
Non-surgical facial feminizing/masculinizing can include dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, brow, and mouth. After a one-on-one consult, we can determine which treatment(s) will be right for you to achieve your desired look.
Ultimately, gender-affirming treatments such as these are a perfect option for those who are not surgical candidates. Alternatively, if you’re wary about surgery or you just would like to wait for the full effects of hormone treatments to kick in, these non-surgical procedures are a safe and effective way to help nudge your skin in the right direction.
Unfortunately, gender-affirming treatments are still considered cosmetic and, therefore, are not covered by insurance providers. Please visit our GoFundMe page to donate in support of our patients who need these treatments. Likewise, if you’re interested in accessing these funds for a gender-affirming treatment, you can contact us to be placed on the waitlist. Once funds become available, we’ll reach out to set up a consultation and treatment.
