PDO threads are dissolvable threads that tighten and lift the skin and stimulate collagen production.

After the procedure, you will be given aftercare instructions.

1. Most clients experience some mild swelling and bruising which resolves over the course of a few days.
2. Recovery time is typically less than 2 days.
3. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 1 to 2 weeks.

Ideal candidates want to improve laugh lines or mouth corners and have good skin tissue quality. Your provider will confirm candidacy at consultation.

The procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Discomfort is minimal with proper technique.

Results last up to one year.

Downtime is typically less than 24 hours, with only mild bruising. Rare side effects include severe bruising and infection, and dimpling is also possible but rare. Make sure you choose a trustworthy injector to perform your treatment.

Renuva is an allograft adipose matrix made from donated human adipose tissue. It does not contain living donor fat cells. It provides an extracellular-matrix framework in areas where native fat normally exists, and that framework is gradually remodeled as your own cells repopulate the area.

Renuva is FDA-regulated as a human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based product (HCT/P), under a different framework from FDA-approved drugs and dermal-filler devices. This page intentionally does not call Renuva an "FDA-approved filler."

Hyaluronic-acid filler places a gel for immediate shape or volume and may be dissolvable with an enzyme. Renuva is a donor-derived tissue matrix intended for gradual remodeling in native-fat areas, and it is not reversible with filler-dissolving enzyme.

Renuva is contraindicated for patients with significant allergies manifested by anaphylaxis or severe allergen sensitivity. Potential effects include allergic response, infection, immune response, discoloration, swelling, tenderness, redness, bruising, pain, or irritation. Donor screening and testing reduce, but cannot eliminate, the risk of infectious-disease transmission. Review the current Instructions for Use with a qualified clinician.

No. Restoring soft-tissue volume does not remove excess skin or correct significant tissue descent. A responsible consultation should discuss when surgery, another nonsurgical treatment, or no treatment better fits the concern.

Renuva is intended for areas where native fat normally exists. Areas we evaluate include:

• Temples
• Forehead
• Eye area (by restoring mid-cheek support)
• Medial and lateral cheek
• Scars and dimples
• Hands

Each zone requires an anatomy-specific assessment, and not every patient or every area is appropriate.

Temporary swelling and bruising can occur, and early swelling usually settles within about half a day. Renuva does not attract water the way hyaluronic-acid filler does. Other potential effects include tenderness, redness, pain, or irritation. Your clinician will review the full safety information with you at consultation.

Renuva works gradually with your own tissue over weeks and months rather than adding instant volume, and results are reassessed over months, not days. Some patients need more than one session. Individual results, timing, and longevity vary, and your provider will discuss what to expect at consultation.

No. Any early swelling usually settles within about half a day, and the natural look returns with it. Renuva does not hold water the way hyaluronic-acid filler can, so it is not designed to leave a full, cushioned appearance.

Yes. The change is gradual by design. Renuva works with your own tissue over weeks and months rather than adding instant volume, so there is no sudden change in the mirror. You look like yourself, simply more rested.

No, and it is not meant to be. Renuva is remodeled into your own soft tissue rather than sitting in place as a gel, so there is nothing foreign left to dissolve. That is also why placement is planned conservatively from the very first session.

Bring your timeline to the consultation. Active loss may change facial anatomy and can make the response harder to predict.

Skin care can support the surface, but it does not recreate a depleted fat compartment. The right answer may combine skin and volume strategies.

It depends on whether the primary issue is volume loss, skin laxity, structural definition, or a combination. One treatment cannot solve every layer.

Renuva is often chosen for soft, gradual restoration. Ask how subtle results, repeat sessions, total cost, and timing will be handled.

Customary Blend:

• 1 Syringe of Radiesse
• 1 Syringe of Belotero

Radiesse is a biostimulatory dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that mainly provide temporary volume, Radiesse stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to long-term skin regeneration.

The Collagen Lift is typically used in discreet areas to provide instant-lift and facial volume without the risk of a "puffy, swollen" face.

2. Cheek
3. Laugh Line
4. Chin Augmentation
5. Jawline

OUR TECHNIQUE GUARANTEES NO PUFFY OR SWOLLEN FACE

Pillow face often describes an overly puffy, swollen, or unnatural facial appearance caused by excessive or poorly placed dermal filler injections. It occurs when too much filler is injected into areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, or jawline, leading to a bloated or distorted look rather than a youthful, natural enhancement.

Causes of pillow face:

• Overfilling: Injecting too much filler in one session or layering excessive amounts over time.
• Poor Injection Technique: Incorrect placement of filler, especially in areas prone to swelling.
• Inappropriate Filler Choice: Using a filler that retains too much water or lacks proper integration with facial tissues.
• Frequent Touch-Ups: Over-correcting or continuously adding filler without allowing it to settle naturally.
• Aging-Related Skin Changes: As skin loses elasticity, excess filler can create an unnatural, heavy appearance.

The V-Lift Technique is a strategic approach to filler placement that enhances facial structure while maintaining a natural, non-swollen appearance. By focusing on deep placement and advanced distribution methods, this technique helps achieve refined, long-lasting results.

1. Deep Placement of Fillers
2. Micro-Bolus Carpeting Method
3. Strategic Placement Behind the Hairline
4. Selection of Low Water-Retention Fillers
5. Avoiding Excessive Cheek Volume
6. Incorporating Regenerative & Hybrid Fillers

This V-Lift technique prioritizes safety, facial harmony, and a refined aesthetic, making it an optimal approach for natural-looking results.

Yes, EZ PRF Gel is considered very safe, especially when administered by a licensed and experienced provider. Because it's an autologous treatment, using your own blood, it significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects that can occur with synthetic fillers.

EZ PRF Gel is versatile and can be used to treat:

• Undereye hollows
• Sunken cheeks
• Fine lines and deep wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Chin and jawline contouring
• Lip augmentation

Downtime is minimal. Some patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising, which typically resolves within 48 hours. Most people return to their normal routines right away without interruption.

You'll notice an immediate boost in volume right after the treatment. Over the following 2 to 6 months, the natural collagen production stimulated by EZ PRF will gradually improve your skin's texture, firmness, and overall appearance. The initial plumping effect typically lasts 3 to 6 months.

Radiesse is both a volumizing filler and a collagen stimulator. Its calcium-based formula provides immediate lift while also stimulating your body to produce natural collagen for long-term improvement. Unlike traditional HA fillers, it offers a firmer structure and regenerative benefits.

Radiesse is commonly used in the lower face, including the jawline, chin, marionette lines, and cheeks. It's also effective for hand rejuvenation, and in some cases, when diluted, it can be used to improve skin texture and elasticity across the neck or décolletage.

Radiesse results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual factors. The collagen-stimulating effects can extend improvements even after the filler itself has metabolized.

Traditional fillers provide immediate volume by injecting substances like hyaluronic acid under the skin. In contrast, Sculptra stimulates your body's own collagen production over time, helping to rebuild the skin's inner structure naturally. This means results appear more gradually, but last much longer, often over 2 years.

Sculptra works gradually. You may begin to notice subtle improvements in volume and skin texture within a few weeks. However, optimal results typically appear after a series of treatments (usually 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart), with full benefits showing over 2 to 3 months.

Results from Sculptra can last more than 2 years thanks to its collagen-stimulating properties. While the initial volume comes slowly, the effects are longer-lasting compared to typical fillers, making it a powerful solution for age-related volume loss.

Sculptra is FDA-approved and safe for use in the face, but it's not typically recommended for delicate areas like under the eyes or lips. It is best used for cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds, where collagen loss is more noticeable. Your provider will guide you on the safest and most effective treatment areas based on your goals.

Rejuran stands out because it uses salmon polynucleotides (PNs) and c-PDRN®, which naturally support cell repair and collagen production. Unlike topical serums or synthetic fillers, Rejuran promotes true skin regeneration from within, improving texture, firmness, and hydration for a glowing, youthful look.

Rejuran is clinically proven to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scars and pigmentation
• Dull, dehydrated skin
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Post-laser or chemical treatment recovery
• Sensitive or irritated skin

You may start to notice improved skin texture and brightening within 2–4 weeks of your first treatment. Full results typically appear after a series of sessions, with effects lasting several months depending on skin condition and maintenance.

Exosome therapy is ideal for a range of cosmetic concerns, including:

• Acne scars and uneven skin texture
• Fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness
• Loss of elasticity or skin firmness
• Thinning hair or hair loss. It promotes a dewy glow, smoother skin, and stronger, fuller hair growth.

For enhanced results, exosome therapy is often paired with collagen-stimulating procedures like microneedling or infusion treatments such as Hycoox. These techniques create microchannels in the skin or improve product absorption, allowing exosomes to penetrate more deeply and amplify their regenerative effects.

If you're dealing with dull skin, uneven tone, dehydration, or early signs of aging, this treatment is a great fit. It's especially beneficial for those who prefer a non-invasive, all-natural approach to skin rejuvenation without the risk of harsh chemicals or long recovery times.

After just one session, most patients notice a brighter, more even complexion, along with improved skin smoothness and hydration. With regular treatments, you'll see continued improvement in pigmentation, fine lines, and skin firmness as your body ramps up collagen production.
