Your neck bands are doing more than you think. 👀

Most people focus on the jawline without realizing the platysmal bands in the neck are actively pulling the lower face down and reducing skin elasticity. When we relax those bands with Botox, the whole lower face lifts.

Here’s what we did in this refresh:

✨ Botox into the neck (platysmal) bands to release the downward pull and improve skin texture along the neck.

✨ Botox along the jawline to address a slight indentation where the masseter muscle meets the platysmal band insertion point, restoring symmetry and contour.

✨ Hyaluronic acid filler along the jawline to give more definition, improve the overall contour, and camouflage the natural indentation she had, for a more symmetric and enhanced jawline contour.

✨ The result? A cleaner, more defined jaw that looks naturally hers. No surgery, just precise placement and the right tools for her unique anatomy.

Results will continue to refine over the next 7-14 days as everything settles in. 🙌

Everyone’s talking about XERF, celebrities are posting it, it’s all over the news. But as your doctor, I have to be honest with you: I don’t recommend it. 🚫

Here’s why this matters for your face:

✨ XERF uses dual-frequency radiofrequency that penetrates all the way down to the SMAS layer, the deep structural layer just above your facial muscles

✨ At that depth, it can burn away subcutaneous fat, the fat that gives your face its youthful volume and supports your skin’s structure

✨ When you lose facial fat, ligaments lose support, and the skin starts to sag, the exact opposite of what you’re going for

✨ The treatments that damage fat compartments don’t show their true consequences right away. We’re going to be seeing the fallout from these fat-loss treatments in a few years, just like we have with others before them

The goal is ALWAYS to work with your anatomy, preserving structure, stimulating your own collagen, and restoring volume naturally. Not burning it away.

Before you book any trending treatment, ask your provider exactly which tissue layers it’s targeting and what happens to fat at that depth. 💉

If you’re in your 40s, your skin is changing more than you realize and what you do right now sets the tone for the next decade.

Here are 4 treatments I recommend to every single patient in their 40s:

✨ SPF every morning. No exceptions. 80% of visible skin aging is caused by sun exposure that number alone should convince you.

✨ Retinol 3x a week at night. It promotes collagen production and cellular turnover, two things that naturally start slowing down in your 40s.
✨ A Biostimulating filler like Sculptra once a year. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works with your body to gradually rebuild your own collagen, the results are natural, long-lasting, and regenerative.
✨ A monthly Diamond Peel Facial. It extracts, exfoliates, and boosts cellular renewal, the kind of maintenance your skin needs consistently, not occasionally.

With the right protocol, this decade can genuinely be your best skin era.
