This thermal effect jumpstarts your body’s process to create new collagen.
Getting it once a year is recommended as you start to see laxity in your face.
Your body then responds by creating healthy tissue in place of the damaged skin.
Cosmetic Procedures I’ve Had
The Cosmetic Treatment Thats Made the Biggest Difference
Myveneers.
I have 10 uppers and six lowers and had them done by Dr. Michael Apa in 2017.
How did we get there?
Treatment planning and smile design is about much more than teeth.
When I walk into a patient consultation, I examine the teeth last because a smile close-up means nothing.
you’re gonna wanna understand a patient’s full face, presence, and personality.
To have facial harmony, everything has to work together.
I’d trust him with anyone’s teeth.
My Injectable Schedule
Ive pulled way back with injectables since having my kids.
Now, my main focus is how my skin texture looks, and estheticianSofie Pavitthas helped me immensely.

SuperGoop Mineral Sheer Sunscreen SPF 30 rounds out my routine.

Advice for Those Considering Cosmetic Procedures
Do your diligence on who you’re seeing.
Look at their previous work.
If you’ve got the option to, I recommend starting little by little with injections.

That way, it’s possible for you to continue looking as natural as possible.
If its not your face, then dont worry about it.
The last thing Ill say is to be wary of med spas.
