My signature technique, The Natural Needle Lift™, creates natural facial symmetry and youthfulness without compromising a patient’s unique or distinguishing features.
By artfully incorporating a combination of needle-based treatments, I strategically deliver neurotoxins, fillers and threads for perfectly tailored, refreshed results that leave my patients looking natural, beautiful and like themselves.
In the world of social media trends, my goal was to develop a protocol that focuses on how the face ages and how we can prevent the aging process and eliminate the unwanted signs of aging without changing one’s individual, natural beauty.
The aging process changes throughout the decades of our lives and keeping in mind the physiological changes taking place helped me develop these protocols.
20s
In our 20s, there is not much aging happening so our approach is preventative. Collagen production is still occurring at a nice rate but the trend with this age group is that they dislike when their makeup starts to settle in the creases of their upper face. For this we do light or ‘baby Botox’ to soften some of those fine lines without changing how one naturally expresses.
Another common request of women in their 20s is a fuller, sexier pout. Although I do not like to inject based off trends, it’s true, most people desire a plumper lip. I gently place a light amount of filler to the lips to give a little more volume for those whose anatomy can handle it. For most, I balance the lips, creating nicer proportions and a more attractive overall shape. Sometimes this is combined with a ‘lip flip’, and in some I inject neurotoxin to lessen a gummy smile. This leaves the face looking naturally sexy.
30s
In the 30s, we begin to see small, noticeable signs of aging. For most this occurs in the second half of this decade, and this is when people commonly begin to seek the help of aesthetic professionals to combat whatever they are not loving. For this age group, it is most common to start noticing that the high contours and angles of the face tend to lessen slightly. This population tends to seek sharper angles of their cheeks and jawlines. This is not a one-size-fits-all, so I assess the natural features of the patient’s face and based off natural facial balancing I can enhance what might be slightly lacking. For some it is cheeks, for others it can be the chin or jawline. I prefer to use products that offer some long-term benefit like biostimulating dermal fillers. I combine biostimulators with very subtle neurotoxin similar to what I use for the 20-somethings, and a light ‘lip fill’ if necessary to create our Natural Needle Lift for the 30s.
