When choosing a facial augmentation procedure it's important to understand the ogee curve.
Artists, architects, cosmetic and plastic surgeons all need to understand the ogee curve. Just as an artist studies his subject, the injector will study the patient's face to understand the best way to perform any facial augmentation procedure.
The ogee curve is the central facial triangle or the double soft-S curves that are seen on the youthful face from an oblique angle. There is fullness in the lateral brow that softly curves where the upper and lower eyelids meet, then softly curves outward on the upper cheek to again curve inward just above the mouth. As we age the natural curve collapses as the face loses the volume found in youth.

Placing an ogee curve in people’s faces make older people look younger and younger faces more beautiful.

Nothing is more satisfying than helping someone feel beautiful.
Acne can be devastating and disfiguring, but with only two months of treatment we see great improvement. This patient is feeling great and is very happy with her results. A few more months and she's going to be clear! Can't wait.

An actinic keratosis (AK), also known as a solar keratosis, is a crusty, scaly growth caused by damage from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. You’ll often see the plural, “keratoses,” because there is seldom just one. AK is considered a precancer because if left alone, it could develop into a skin cancer, most often the second most common form of the disease, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We can treat these precancerous lesions with different creams. This patient used a cream that activates his immune system to attack the bad cells. Once he completed treatment, you can see his skin is much more smooth and even toned. Apart from the obvious aesthetic benefits, we've prevented cancers from forming too!
