With the holidays coming closer, you have many things to look forward to. You can expect lots of family time, cozying up in front of the fireplace, singing carols, and many exciting activities. What you don’t usually look forward to is taking that holiday card photo, which always seems to go wrong in some way. 

To make sure it’s not ruined by an acne breakout or a wrinkle caught in the light, you might want to consider undergoing some treatments beforehand. There are plenty of procedures that can make you look your finest. In this blog, we will talk about chemical peels and LATISSE®, along with their efficiency in making you look picture-perfect.

How Chemical Peels Can Help You?

Skin imperfections can make you feel very self-conscious on picture day, causing you to cake your face with foundation and other makeup products. Instead of artificially trying to cover your imperfections, a better way is to just take the “offending” layer off your face. No, you don’t have to be a reptile to do that – all it takes is a chemical peel at the right moment.

Chemical peels use substances such as glycolic or salicylic acids to cause a reaction in your skin, triggering the peeling process. Over the next few days, the old skin will shed off, allowing the new skin to come to the surface. This can help you with different conditions, including:

1. Acne Scars

Acne scars represent a side effect of acne breakouts, which take the form of dark spots on your skin. These are usually formed from excess melanin in your skin along with improper collagen production. Chemical peels will not only remove the unevenly pigmented top layer but also start its healing process enough to fill out the scars.

2. Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Are the wrinkles in your holiday cards a constant reminder that you are getting old? In that case, you can use chemical peels to turn back the clock on your face. As the top layer of your skin is removed, the body will go into healing mode, starting new collagen production. This can help fill out wrinkles and fine lines over time, resulting in smoother and more even skin.

3. Hyperpigmentation

Do you have sun spots on your skin? Perhaps you’ve also noticed age spots or other types of pigmentation on your skin. Indeed, certain skin disorders may require special care when applying chemical peels, which is why Dr. Moore recommends a consultation first. However, for most patients, dark pigmentation spots can be reduced with a chemical peel.

Top It Up With LATISSE® 

With your skin now in order, it is time to move on to the lashes. Many individuals feel very self-conscious about the way their eyes look in photos, which is why they end up wearing false lashes. That being said, falsies can lead to different ocular disorders, mainly due to the glue that is used. For just a holiday card, the risk is usually not worth it.

There is a much simpler way to do that, and that is LATISSE®. Based on bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, this product was originally meant to treat certain eye conditions. However, upon regular use, a convenient side effect was also noticed: the product also helps your lashes grow. Overall, LATISSE® can bring the following benefits: 

• Longer eyelashes in case of stunted growth
• Activation of lash follicles, causing new lash growth
• Darkening of the eyelashes

LATISSE® works best when it is applied on a clean base, so make sure to remove all of your makeup. You can apply mascara and other products afterward, but only once the LATISSE® dries. Within 15 weeks or so, you should be able to reach your maximum potential.

Choose Chemical Peels and LATISSE® for a Full Transformation

When it comes to skin resurfacing, there are plenty of treatments that you can opt for to get those perfect results. However, the most effective one is the chemical peel. With their special ability to remove the top layer of your dermis, chemical peels can reduce the damage incurred by external or internal factors.

But when should you get a chemical peel? Are there any special signs that you should look for, or should you do it at certain times? The answer is “a combo of everything,” but there are certain things you should keep in mind. In this blog, you will find out when you should get a chemical peel to enjoy its effects the most.

Top Signs You Need a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels can be a great asset for your skin, should you get them every few months. Here are the signs you may notice when you are due for a chemical peel:

• You Notice Dark Spots and Discoloration

Dark spots often go away once your skin sheds itself naturally. However, depending on how deep the discoloration goes, this process may take months. A chemical peel can speed up the process, reducing the signs of sun damage, freckles, discoloration, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels can also help with pre-cancerous growths called actinic keratosis.

• Your Skin Feels Rough and Dull

No matter how many serums you apply, there are times when your complexion will look dull and rough. This happens because the accumulation of dead skin cells prevents the efficient absorption of skincare products. Chemical peels can help remove that excess layer, allowing your skincare products to properly nourish the skin.

• You Are Getting More Breakouts Than Usual

If you notice that your skin is oilier and that you are getting more breakouts than usual, it may be a sign that you need a chemical peel. Your pores get stretched when they become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The best way to reduce the pores is to take out the offenders. While regular exfoliation can be very effective, a chemical peel will go much deeper, reducing the appearance of the size of your pores.

• You Notice Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles appear when the production of collagen is low. Chemical peels will trigger your skin’s natural healing process, improving your collagen and elastin production. This should help smooth and tighten the skin. 

What’s the Best Season for a Chemical Peel?

For the most part, you can get a chemical peel whenever you notice the signs. Even if it’s spring or the summer season, there is no reason why you should not be able to get a chemical peel. That being said, there are some special considerations that you should keep in mind. 

For instance, a chemical peel can increase your skin sensitivity when exposed to UV rays. While you can get a chemical peel during summer, you should avoid direct sunlight exposure for a couple of days until your skin heals. Sun exposure can also induce photo-aging, which is why it may reduce the longevity of the effects. 

For this reason, some of the best seasons to get a chemical peel are fall and winter. Not only will it be easier to stay out of sunlight, but most of the sun damage will be done by then. The fall season is the perfect time for you to reduce the damage done by the sun during the summer. All in all, if you had to choose, you should consider getting a chemical peel between November and February.

Your skin protects the rest of your body from taking on damage from the elements. That being said, the same skin is also very sensitive to factors such as dirt, harsh weather, wind, sun, and more. This is why you need to have the right products in your skincare routine.

The SoCal Cool Body Shop has a variety of great options that you can use to take proper care of your skin. Here are the most popular options that Dr. Moore and the SoCal Cool Body professionals recommend to patients.

1. SkinMedica® AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

The human skin sheds about 600,000 skin cells per day, most of which remain on your skin and enter your pores, causing conditions such as acne. Exfoliation and cleansing are two very important steps that you should not skip, which is why the SkinMedica® AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is a good solution. Its mix of ingredients will gently exfoliate and cleanse your skin, improving its texture and tone.

2. SkinMedica® Lytera® 2.0 Pigment Correcting Serum

Stubborn skin discoloration can make you feel uncomfortable in your own skin, causing you to reach out for makeup. The Lytera® 2.0 Pigment Correcting Serum can help you with this issue. Formulated to address even the trickiest of discolorations, most patients see improvements in as little as two weeks. Moreover, in several months, you can see dramatic results. If you’ve had procedures such as chemical peels or laser therapy done, this serum can help improve the results. 

3. SkinMedica® Firm & Tone Lotion for Body

When your body’s skin looks tired, dry, and devoid of life, the Firm & Tone Lotion for Body can help rejuvenate it. Dermatologically tested to prevent visible signs of aging, this can make your skin look more youthful and toned. The lotion can reduce sagging and crepey skin, improving its firmness, and texture.

4. SkinMedica® Retinol Complex 0.5

Retinoids have shown to be very efficient in fighting against skin aging, which is why they should be part of your skincare routine. The SkinMedica® Retinol Complex 0.5 is a great option for that. This product can rejuvenate your skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines, enhancing your skin’s resiliency. It can also enhance your skin texture and tone.

5. SkinMedica® TNS Recovery Complex

Skin discoloration and wrinkles are serious issues that most women and men deal with. To boost your skin recovery process, you can try the SkinMedica® TNS Recovery Complex. Featuring a perfectly balanced growth factor blend, this product can help improve the appearance of sun spots, age spots, and even wrinkles. You can apply it in the morning or the evening after you use your cleanser and toner. 

6. SkinMedica® HA⁵® Smooth and Plump Lip System

Plump lips are all the rage nowadays, but there may be a time when you can’t go into the doctor’s office and get a dermal filler. Or perhaps you are between sessions, and you want an extra plump. In this case, the SkinMedica® HA⁵® Smooth and Plump Lip System can help plump up the appearance of your lips while offering a rejuvenating and hydrating effect. Also, the product will visibly enhance the rosiness of your skin once it takes effect. 

7. SkinMedica® Essential Defense Everyday Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 47

Sunblock is one product that you can never go without, which is why the Essential Defense Everyday Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 47 can be a great addition to your routine. It offers you one of the highest levels of sun protection available while being light on the skin. It is the perfect choice for oily and combination skin types.

The sun can be great during the summer, as it may offer that tanned glow to your skin. However, depending on your skin type and how you take care of it, it may also come with some side effects. Risks of skin cancer and sunburn aside, excessive sunlight exposure can also lead to premature aging. This includes age signs such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun spots, and more. 

For this reason, once summer is over and done with, you can take the necessary steps to reduce sun damage, and a chemical peel is one of the best ways to do that. Whether you go for a lighter or deeper peel, this treatment can remove the damaged outer layer to encourage new skin to come forward. In this blog, you will find out what chemical peels are and why you need them once summer is over.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels contain gentle acids (often obtained from acidic fruits) that can flush debris and break down dead skin cells. This will cause the skin to “peel” over a few days, revealing the new skin underneath that will usually be brighter, softer, and with fewer wrinkles. 

The amount of skin that is peeled off depends on the intensity of the solution. Many people with minimal to moderate sun damage prefer a light peel, as the irritation is minimal. That being said, while the recovery from a deep peel is slightly longer, the effects may also be more noticeable. The same results can also be obtained from light chemical peels, provided the procedure is repeated over time.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Summer brings endless adventure, but as your complexion is taking most of its toll, a chemical peel can give your skin a new glow. Here are the main benefits of getting a chemical peel once summer is over:

• Radiant Skin

Chemical peels are popular for their gentle exfoliation ability, each treatment revealing healthy skin from underneath. After continuous sun exposure, your skin needs exfoliation to regain its radiance. Chemical peels can remove the dead skin cells that make your complexion look dull, so skin regeneration is encouraged.

• Even Skin Tone

Hyperpigmentation is a very common occurrence when you spend a lot of time in the sun. You may get sun spots, or you may find yourself with a sunburn that causes your skin to peel. Regardless, your skin may end up looking patchy. A chemical peel can remove the dead or damaged skin on the surface so that you get a more even skin tone.

• Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Sun exposure can accelerate the aging process, which may lead to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. By removing the top layer of the skin, chemical peels can stimulate collagen production. This may improve your skin elasticity, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and help you maintain a youthful appearance.

• Minimal Downtime

Many people steer clear of chemical peels, as they are concerned about potential lifestyle disruptions. Still, modern chemical peels won’t cause too much disruption to your lifestyle, nor should they require any downtime. For the most part, this treatment can only cause some redness and peeling, which should pass after a few days. Very often, these side effects are not painful and can be easily concealed using makeup.

Give Your Skin a New Glow With a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are a great way to give your skin the revival that it needs after summer. The sun can be very harsh on your complexion, causing your skin cells and collagen on the surface to break down. By using this treatment, you can bring the new skin underneath to the surface. Schedule an appointment for a chemical peel now and get the summer damage off your skin.

In the past, if you wanted to slim down, you only had two alternatives: you either took on a diet and exercise routine, or you went under the knife. The latter was not something that many women wanted to do, especially if they had a busy lifestyle. However, this type of intervention was the only way to remove stubborn fat from certain areas of your body. 

Enter CoolSculpting® Elite, the successor of CoolSculpting®. Rather than using a knife or the power of a laser, this procedure went for the other temperature extreme: freezing. In this blog, we will talk about CoolSculpting® Elite and why you should opt for a top 25 provider for your treatment.

What Is CoolSculpting® Elite?

CoolSculpting® Elite is a body-sculpting treatment that relies on cryolipolysis to freeze subcutaneous fat without damaging the skin. The procedure is ideal for people who are near their body weight but cannot seem to get rid of some stubborn fat pockets. 

During the treatment session, Dr. Patrick Moore will glide the applicators over the treatment areas, exposing the fat cells to calibrated cooling. This will cause the membrane of the fat cells to crystalize and eventually rupture, allowing it to be processed naturally by the body. 

History of CoolSculpting® Elite

The CoolSculpting® technology has been around for a little over 10 years as an alternative to invasive weight reduction surgery. The product was originally put together by Dr. Dieter Manstein from Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Rox Anderson from Harvard Medical School. The duo got the idea after they saw that children who ate a lot of popsicles would also likely develop dimples. 

After doing research, they realized that the cold temperatures of the popsicles would eventually create inflammation in the fat cells. This caused the cells to “die” and be naturally removed by the body’s immune system. The phenomenon was originally referred to as “popsicle panniculitis,” and it paved the way for the future CoolSculpting® technology.

The process became known as “cryolipolysis,” and it was cleared by the FDA in 2009 to remove the stubborn fat cells. It became an alternative for non-surgical fat reduction, being used on areas that did not respond well to dieting and exercise. 

The first version of CoolSculpting® had only one applicator, which allowed patients to treat one area at a time. This made it a good option for the abdomen, flanks, chin area, and more. However, in 2021, CoolSculpting® Elite was introduced and it featured two applicators. This made it easier to target two areas simultaneously, saving time when people wanted to treat their thighs, buttocks, or flanks at once.

Why Opt for a Top 25 Provider?

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, it’s important to opt for a trustworthy and experienced provider. A licensed professional can set your mind at ease, but you should also be certain that you choose one of the best. This is why you should opt for a top 25 provider who can offer you high-quality services.

The top 25 providers are professional practitioners who have established a good reputation on the market. Not only can they handle the most intricate of procedures, but they also have the tools necessary to ensure comfort and efficiency.

As you age, your facial volume will decrease. It’s a sad truth that people should make peace with. However, with today’s cosmetic procedures, you no longer have to look at your sunken cheeks in the mirror every day. You just need to pause and focus on what causes the volume loss.

To add volume to the cheeks, you have to understand what leads to the volume loss in the first place. So, in this blog, we will get into the theory of why your cheeks lose their plumpness and how you can make them look rejuvenated once more. 

Why Do Cheeks Lose Volume?

As you age, you start noticing a lot of sagging skin, wrinkles, hollowing around the eyes, cheeks, and jowls. These are all classic signs of aging and typically appear once you pass the age of 30. With good genetics and the proper skincare, you can keep your skin looking good longer, but eventually, age will catch up with you.

The culprit here is easy to point out: collagen. As you pass the age of 20, your skin starts producing 1 percent less collagen each year. At that point, you still have enough collagen for it to not be noticeable. However, the more you run out, the more obvious the aging process will become. This is why you only notice the sagging skin and wrinkling when you pass your 30s. 

Collagen is a very important protein in your body, as it offers structure and keeps your skin looking firm. All the collagen molecules are connected, giving your cheeks a natural lift. When those connections are lost, the support is gone, making your cheeks look saggy and less voluminous. 

Do Cheek Fillers Lift Your Face?

We’ve established that collagen loss is the main culprit that makes you lose volume in your cheeks. One way to correct that is to add more collagen or trigger your body’s collagen production. With a cheek filler, you can add volume exactly where it is needed, giving your cheeks a better lift and definition. 

The majority of cheek fillers are made using hyaluronic acid, a sugar compound that exists naturally in the connective tissue of your skin. Hyaluronic acid also helps your soft tissue grow, prompting it to produce more elastin and collagen. As a result, your cheeks will get a natural-looking plumpness with a good structure. 

Cheek fillers will refill the empty areas, offering an immediate filling effect. After the procedure, your cheeks will look more pronounced and better shaped. Additionally, as the days pass, your skin will begin reacting to the hyaluronic acid, creating more collagen and making your skin look more plumped. In the end, this can give your skin the natural lift you’ve been looking for.

How Can I Get More Volume in My Cheeks?

To add more volume to your cheeks, the best route that you can take is to use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. A very popular option for this is the JUVÉDERM® dermal filler, specifically the VOLUMA™ XC formula. This dermal filler can be used to correct volume loss in the cheeks for adults over the age of 21.

Thanks to its high viscosity, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ can give your cheeks better support. At the same time, it can offer a subtle and natural appearance while giving your cheeks a well-defined structure. It can take about one to two days for the filler to settle. So, during this time, you should follow your injection specialists instructions.

JUVÉDERM® results are temporary, but the effects may last for up to 12 months. However, you can maintain these results by returning for touch-ups every six months.

Use JUVÉDERM® to Restore Lost Volume in Your Cheeks

When your cheeks start losing their volume, there are several ways for you to restore that lost volume. The best and fastest way to do so is by using dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®. If you want to find out more about the entire process, then you can schedule an appointment with SoCal Cool Body and bring your cheeks back to their former glory.

CoolSculpting Elite is an innovative body contouring process that can make dramatic changes to your shape and fat percentage. According to Harvard Health Publishing, CoolSculpting can reduce fat by almost 25%. Let’s learn more about the benefits of this great med spa option.

What is CoolSculpting?

This is a non-invasive type of body contouring that uses a fat-freezing method. This method is approved by the FDA to be safe. The treatments consist of delivering controlled cooling to a targeted area. This kills fat cells while ensuring that the surrounding tissue is not affected negatively in any way.

During a treatment, a gel pad and applicator are placed on the skin. The applicator is used to deliver the cooling to the area. This can cause a temporary numb feeling. Treatments often last about 45 minutes, but challenging areas may take longer.

Following the treatment, you will notice a distinct depletion of fat in the area that was treated. It may take up to 30 days to start noticing the results. These results are permanent if you stay at a stable weight. Let’s look at some key benefits of CoolSculpting.

1. Fat Reduction

This treatment has been clinically proven to reduce fat in targeted areas. It is a non-surgical option. This can help individuals who have not had good luck with traditional methods of weight loss.

2. Option To Treat Many Different Body Areas

One great benefit of this treatment is that you can use it to treat many different areas of the body. This gives you ultimate control over where you want to target fat reduction. Your treatment can be customized to reach your unique goals.

3. Non-Invasive and Safe

There are types of body contouring that involve surgery, such as liposuction, but CoolSculpting Elite can give you body contouring benefits without the surgery. This is a huge benefit for people who have no desire to pursue invasive treatment options.

4. Few Side Effects

Another great aspect of this treatment is that there can be very few side effects. Most healthy people can tolerate the treatments with no problem at all. Any side effects, such as physical sensations that you might feel during your treatments, are often short-lived and are over a few hours after treatment. It is important to remember that every case is different as far as side effects are concerned.

BOTOX® Cosmetic for men, commonly referred to as “Brotox,” is a very common cosmetic procedure within the male circle. Indeed, women still hold the highest percentage of people getting this procedure, but men can also get BOTOX® Cosmetic to fulfill their aesthetic needs.

There has been a 400% increase in the past two decades of men requesting this injectable treatment. More and more men want to look their best, and cosmetic treatments make it easy for them to fit into the norm. In this article, you will find out why BOTOX® Cosmetic for men is so popular and how you need to prepare for it.

What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that uses botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that prevents your muscles from engaging in repetitive movements. By blocking those movement signals, you may stop the development of certain imperfections such as wrinkles, misaligned eyes, and more. 

BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the muscles that perform movement, allowing your skin to smooth back into place. With time, the wrinkles will be reduced, giving you a more youthful look. That being said, BOTOX® Cosmetic can also be used as a preventive measure to keep your youthful look. 

For instance, if you furrow your forehead a lot, you can get BOTOX® Cosmetic to prevent any dynamic wrinkles from forming or getting worse. You can also get Masseter BOTOX® Cosmetic for men to reshape the jaw without having to resort to surgery. 

Why Do Men Use BOTOX® Cosmetic?

There are several reasons why men may opt for BOTOX® Cosmetic as their go-to anti-aging treatment and here are some of them:

1. Social Media

Social media has become a very important part of our lives. Whether you are posting your pictures on a dating site or have a career as an influencer, you want to look your best. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can help you get that youthful look that may help to increase your swipes and number of likes.

2. Workplace Competitiveness

Many men end up getting BOTOX® Cosmetic so that they can keep up with the competitiveness at work. Wrinkles and other signs of aging can lead to a type of discrimination referred to as ageism. To fight ageism, many men decide to hide their aging signs using BOTOX® Cosmetic. A youthful appearance can help them get taken more seriously at work.

3. Romantic Motivation

When you are in a relationship, you want to look your best for your significant other. This is why many men opt for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. Whether you do it through self-motivation or you are motivated by your significant other, BOTOX® Cosmetic can make you feel more confident in the relationship. 

How to Prepare for BOTOX® Cosmetic?

Just like women, men also need to do some preparation before and after the injectable treatment session. To begin with, in the weeks before the procedure, you should refrain from taking any inflammatory medication. These drugs can impact the effectiveness of the toxin, reducing the benefits or potential longevity of the procedure.

Foods that are rich in antioxidants, as well as multivitamins, should also be avoided two weeks before the procedure. These can prevent blood clotting, and while this may ultimately be good for your body, it may boost your chances of bruising. 

After the treatment, try to stay upright for at least a couple of hours. Bending or staying in a lying position can not only increase your chances of bruising but may also cause BOTOX® Cosmetic to migrate. Avoid intense exercising as well, as the BOTOX® Cosmetic solution might not be absorbed properly because of excess sweating.

Boost Your Self-Esteem With BOTOX® Cosmetic!

In the last couple of years, BOTOX® Cosmetic has become much more accessible to a wider category of people. Women are no longer the only ones enjoying its benefits – men can do so too. In fact, getting BOTOX® Cosmetic injections at the right time can improve your life and your self-esteem. So, if you’re looking for this kind of change in your life, schedule an appointment for a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment at SoCal Cool Body. 

 

For more information about BOTOX® Cosmetic for men, you can contact SoCal Cool Body. We are reachable at 951-397-0530 for our Murrieta office and 760-298-8078 for our practice in Palm Desert. You can also use our online contact form to set up an appointment.

When you want to obtain that smooth and youthful look, combining aesthetic treatments can be a great way for you to reach your goal. Combination therapy has become increasingly popular among millennials in the past few years, saving a lot of time for those who are always on the go

But what exactly does it mean to combine treatments, and how can it benefit you? What are the substances generally used in cosmetic combination therapy? Why would you want to go for this approach in the first place? Well, let’s find out in this blog.

Products Used in Combination Treatments

At SoCal Cool Body, we usually use the following treatments for a beautiful aesthetic:

• BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is made from botulinum toxin, a protein with the ability to temporarily relax your facial muscles. The injections will stop the signals from the brain that tell your muscles to contract, helping you reduce dynamic wrinkles. Our BOTOX® Cosmetic before and after pictures show great improvement for crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and fine lines.

BOTOX® Cosmetic in itself does not add more volume to the face, as many people seem to believe. Other than relaxing the muscles to prevent wrinkling, it does nothing to change your facial structure. This is why it is generally used for people who do not lack facial volume.

• Dermal Fillers 

Unlike BOTOX® Cosmetic, which allows you to keep your current facial structure, dermal filler injections fill your face in a natural way. This makes this injectable a good option when you want to replenish the lost volume or enhance certain areas of your face. 

BOTOX® Cosmetic is added to the areas that get more movement, whereas dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, are usually added in the static areas, including the area underneath your eyes, your sunken cheeks, or your nasolabial wrinkles.

Why Use Them Together?

There are several reasons why you should combine treatments for a beautiful aesthetic. Here are our suggestions:

1. Prolonged Times

By combining treatments, you get the advantage of a prolonged effect. For example, BOTOX® Cosmetic lasts around three to four months. The timeline is slightly different for dermal fillers, but they still don’t typically  last longer than one year.

However, according to studies, combination therapy allows for the dermal filler to stay in your system longer. This is because the BOTOX® Cosmetic reduces muscle contraction, helping the filler break down at a slower rate.

2. Reduced Recovery Time

Dermal fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic have their own recovery times. As your skin is now accommodating the BOTOX® Cosmetic or the filler, you can probably expect some bruising, injection pain, and other filler or BOTOX® Cosmetic side effects. 

By combining the treatment, you can merge two recovery sessions into one. The side effects are generally nothing to be too worried about, and the injections are performed in different areas, making them perfectly safe. Not only will this save you money on consultation fees, but it will also allow you to get back to your daily routine sooner.

3. Better Effects

Sometimes, despite your best hopes and efforts, one injectable product may not be enough to get the effect that you desire. For instance, let’s say that you want a BOTOX® Cosmetic lip flip, to prevent your lips from “disappearing” when you smile. If your lips are already thin, BOTOX® Cosmetic may not be enough, so a filler can be added as well. 

Or perhaps you have different areas to approach, which require various filler types. For instance, you can use BOTOX® Cosmetic on your crow’s feet and forehead to make your upper face look younger and dermal fillers on the lower area, for a completed effect.

 

Should You Combine Treatments?

Combining aesthetic treatments can help you obtain beautiful results in a short amount of time. You just need to pick the right combination for you, depending on your specific needs. By scheduling an appointment with SoCal Cool Body, we can establish which combination of injectables works best for you.
