LO aesthetic studio is more than skin treatments and injections ⬇

We love products that do more than one thing, and that's exactly why we carry Colorescience. Most people think of it as makeup, but it's actually skincare first. Colorescience products are packed with ingredients that help protect, support, and improve your skin while giving you beautiful coverage.

Think of it as:
☀️ SPF protection
🧴 Skincare benefits
💄 Makeup coverage

All in one step.

Let us be your one-stop-shop for all things beauty and skin health! We carry several lines so we have a skincare item for everyone🤍

My forever favorites? These 4 are always at the top of my list. 🤍

If I could only pick a few treatments and products for myself and my patients, it would be these:

✨ SkinPen Microneedling – Helps improve skin texture, softens acne scars, minimizes pores, and stimulates your body's natural collagen production for healthier-looking skin.

✨ Epicutis Lipid Serum – My go-to for calming inflammation, supporting the skin barrier, and giving skin that healthy glow without feeling heavy or greasy.

✨ Radiesse – I love that it does more than add volume. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin quality and structure over time.

✨ Xeomin – A highly purified neurotoxin that helps soften wrinkles while maintaining natural movement. It's one of my favorite options for prevention and maintenance.

These are treatments and products I consistently use, recommend, and see amazing results from year after year. Healthy skin, collagen support, and natural-looking results will always be my go-to suggestions!

💋 FUN FACT ABOUT LIP FILLER 💋

Did you know lip filler isn't just for making lips bigger?

One of my favorite uses for filler is actually improving lip shape, balance, and hydration. A tiny amount can help define the border of the lips, smooth out lipstick lines, support corners that turn downward, and create better symmetry—all without looking "done."

The best lip filler results are often the ones nobody can quite put their finger on. They just know you look refreshed, balanced, and a little more confident. ✨

Less is often more when it comes to beautiful lips.

Let's get real about a hushed topic...'how bad do injections hurt?"

TOX
Pain Level: 1–3/10
Feels like: A quick pinch that lasts a few seconds.

Most sensitive area: Lip flip
Least sensitive areas: Forehead, crow's feet, frown lines

FILLER
Pain Level: 2–6/10
Feels like: Pressure, pinching, or a little stinging. Most fillers contain lidocaine to help keep you comfortable.

👄 Lips: 5–7/10
😊 Under eyes: 3–5/10
✨ Cheeks: 2–4/10
💋 Chin: 2–3/10
🤍 Jawline: 2–4/10

BIOSTIMULATORS
Pain Level: 2–5/10
Feels like: Mild pressure and fullness during treatment.

✨ Cheeks: 2–4/10
✨ Jawline: 2–4/10
✨ Temples: 3–5/10
✨ Neck: 3–5/10

The Truth?

The anticipation is usually worse than the treatment itself. Most patients walk in expecting the worst and leave saying:

"Wait... that's it?" 😅

A little pinch for results that last months? Most people decide that's a pretty fair trade. It's important to highlight EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PAIN TOLERANCE LEVELS! And i cannot stress that enough lol!

"Wait… you inject TOXINS into your face?!" 😳
Yep. And before you panic, hear me out. 😂 It's about time I properly explain WHY 'tox is called tox...

Brands like botox,Jeuveau,Xeomin,etc are called "tox" because the medication comes from a purified protein derived from a toxin. Sounds scary, but so does "chemical peel" and nobody is imagining me sanding faces down with construction equipment. 🤪

The amount used is tiny, highly purified, and specifically designed to relax targeted muscles that cause wrinkles. That's why tox treatments can soften forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. So yes, it's called a toxin... but in aesthetics, it's all about the dose, the science, and the skilled injector behind the syringe. 💉✨

My favorite is the highly-purified brand Xeomin!Unlike some other wrinkle relaxers, Xeomin contains only the active ingredient and doesn't include accessory proteins surrounding the molecule. Because those extra proteins are removed during manufacturing, it's often referred to as a "naked neurotoxin."

Balanced lips can help everything look more harmonious while still keeping your natural look. Subtle changes can make a big difference.

HOW TO BOOK LIPS:
2 OPTIONS💋

1.Book a consultation so we can go over questions, safety concerns, proper education,pricing.etc. No pressure to book filler appointment!

2.Book your appointment if you're 100% ready and i'll see you then!

Me the moment it’s lake season: ☀️🚤🍹

All I need is my tinted SPF, an ice-cold drink, some chill time on the water, and a few skin recovery essentials waiting for me when I get home. My go-to combo? Epicutis Lipid Serum and my Omnilux Red Light LED Mask. Because while I’m soaking up every second of lake season, I’m also trying to help calm and support my skin after years of sun exposure and recurring sun damage.

Balance, right? 😎✨

The truth is, they all work in a very similar way by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. Brands like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify each have their own unique formulation, onset time, and how long results may last for some people.

The biggest difference? Not necessarily the brand. It's having the right treatment plan for your face and goals.

Some clients love one brand and stick with it. Others may respond better to a different option. That's why I always customize treatments based on your needs, not what's trending online. Xeomin is my favorite,,but at the end of the day, the best tox is the one that gives you the results you're looking for. 💉💕

your lips look this good after they heal from rejuvenation! drop emojis in the comments of your reactions ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

😍🤍😘

Lip swelling after a volume-boosting treatment is completely normal.🤍⬇
Right after filler, the lips can look a bit bigger, feel tender, or even uneven at first and that’s just a normal part of the healing process. Swelling usually peaks within the first 24–72 hours, then slowly starts to go down over the next several days. Most people don’t see their true, settled results until about 2–3 weeks.

That’s why we always recommend giving your lips time to fully heal before deciding if you want any additional product.
