Dissolving Dermal-Filler
Watch this dollop of Restylane Lyft disappear in seconds when doused with dissolvant Vitrase**. There are SO many things to love about dermal-filler, but one of the best things about it? DERMAL-FILLERS* ARE COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE! Whether for aesthetic or safety reasons, if your HA-filler needs to be removed -- it just needs a hit of the proper dissolvant to melt it instantly^ away. Some caveats to this: * Only hyularonic-acid based fillers can be dissolved, which fortunately includes the vast majority of the most popular choices. (Sculptra and Radiesse are the 2x biggies that cannot be dissolved.) ** There are multiple products that can be used to dissolve filler, Vitrase is featured here. ^ The sturdier / thicker the filler, the more Vitrase/time is needed to completely dissolve the product away. The product featured here is Restylane Lyft, and you can see that it melts within seconds. Products like Voluma, Vollure, and Refyne may need multiple hits of Vitrase in order to fully dissolve it. What happens to the Vitrase and dissolved product? Your body absorbs everything and flushes it out with your normal waste. For more information, please visit our website aboutfaceskincare.com
Restylane Lyft Blob VS. Restylane Refyne Blob
There are different dermal-fillers for different needs, and the formulations keep getting more and more sophisticated and specialized. Witness here the structural-cohesivity of Restylane Lyft (on the Left), and the flexible-volume of Restylane Refyne (on the Right). Lyft (on the Left) wants to stick together, no matter what, and is wonderful product for adding structure and definition to the face in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or temples. Refyne (on the Right) meanwhile, is designed for areas of the face that move a lot, such as lips, and the areas around the mouth. Refyne is meant to always bounce / pull back into shape, so you look natural no matter your facial expression. It is so satisfying to have such specialized products available in our arsenal, this way everyone is enabled to receive a completely customized treatment.
Cool Test Zap
Literally, it's so cool! Before any laser hair-removal treatment, there is always a quick test-zap performed on specially treated paper to make sure that the cooling-spray is being evenly dispersed. The coolant spray turns the temperature-sensitive paper bright fuchsia, and as long as the initial mark is a complete circle -- we know that your treatment areas will be fully covered. (As soon as the temperature starts to return to normal, the pink splotch fades away into nothingness.)

What does sleeping in Makeup do to your face?
You KNOW you're supposed to always wash your face before you go to bed, but do you know why?
How does the face Age?
The aging face has common changes that are easy to spot; the lower face widens as volume in the upper-face decreases, bone changes in the upper and lower jaws shorten the length of the face, and the youthful ratio of space between the lower-lip to the chin changes to become almost equal. This video demonstrates how a face changes with time by comparing a look-alike mother and daughter that are 27-years apart in age.
How Does Sculptra WORK?
Sculptra Aesthetic stimulates your body's own natural collagen production to enhance facial volume. This video demonstrates how Sculptra begins to stimulate collagen and provide the structural support that the face needs to look youthful and vibrant. In the major clinical study of Sculptra Aesthetic, patients were still showing improvement 25-months after treatment.
