Botox


I know what you’re thinking: what’s Botox got to do with body treatments? Isn’t it only used to treat forehead wrinkles? You’re partially correct! Although neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) are most commonly used for facial treatments, there are many other uses, specifically for the body. Here are a few areas you probably didn’t know we can treat with Botox:


  • Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

    • Underarms

    • Palms of Hands

    • Bottom of Feet

    • Scalp

  • Neck Bands

  • Trapezius Muscles (Trap Botox)


Hyperhidrosis is a very common condition, which causes some people to excessively sweat. Although harmless, those who suffer from this excessive sweating, can at times be left to feel very self conscious. Botox has been FDA cleared to help with this condition, boosting the confidence of many! Botox is used to block the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. It takes 3-4 days for the results of the injections to become active. Depending on the individual & the area(s) being treated, the results can last up to 6 months.


Neck bands, also known as platysma bands, are vertical neck lines. They are most prominent when clenching your teeth, clenching your neck muscles and/or pulling the jowls downward. When looking to receive cosmetic or aesthetic treatments, rightfully so, most people start with the face. I mean, it’s the first thing others look at when they see you! That’s not a bad idea, however, the hands & necks are the areas that have been proven to show signs of aging. When it comes to those pesky neck lines, Botox is an ideal treatment for eliminating or softening these bands on the neck! Botox injections paralyzes specific muscles allowing the skin to appear smoother and youthful without the need for surgical intervention. 



Neck Bands Treatment w/ Botox: Before & After

“Trap Botox” or “Barbie Tox” has become a very popular sought after treatment. I mean, who doesn’t want to look like their favorite Barbie? (My personal favorite was Sparkle Eyes Barbie)! The term has been buzzing a lot on social media platforms, like TikTok, however, the treatment is far from new. Although Botox for the trapezius muscles has an amazing effect medically, it’s been more commonly used for its elongating effect it has on the neck. Medically, Botox in the trapezius muscles is used to treat migraines, in addition to cervical dystonia (a condition in which your neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing your head to twist or turn to one side). It is also great for patients who suffer with neck and shoulder pain from muscle tension. The aesthetic benefits of this treatment are dropping the shoulders & creating a “slimming” effect to the patient’s neck, giving them the perfect Barbie like figure!


 CoolSculpting


If you’re thinking of the best way to really contour or shape your ultimate body, CoolSculpting might just be the treatment for you. Whether you’re a gym girly who just can’t quite slim their thighs, or a mom who no longer wishes to wear your pooch like badge of honor, there’s an applicator for you! Simply put, CoolSculpting is non-invasive, permanent fat reduction. Yes, you read that correctly: PERMANENT! Most places on the body that you have pinchable, stubborn fat that just doesn’t seem to budge, you should definitely see about CoolSculpting.


Here’s a quick video from our CoolSculpting specialist, Karley, with details on what CoolSculpting is!



She’s also written some very informative posts on why CoolSculpting is worth it & why you should consider the treatment!




Here’s even an easy graphic Karley created that shows the many areas you’re able to treat:

Laser Hair Removal


If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waxing most of your life. (PLEASE tell me you’re not still shaving!) If so, it’s time to graduate to Laser Hair Removal! Laser Hair Removal is safe, effective and permanent hair reduction with no down time. I would highly recommend getting a consultation with an office before treatment because certain modalities can be better suited for specific skin and hair types. When completed in a series with proper spacing, it can be life changing!


The most common areas to treat with Laser Hair Removal are:


  • legs

  • arms

  • upper lip

  • beard area

  • brows

  • bikini/brazilian area

  • back

  • chest

  • shoulders

  • underarms


Sculptra - BBL


Let’s get to the good part: the booty! Did you even know there was such a thing as a non-surgical BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)? Put down the squats & pick up the Sculptra: or maybe try both if you’re feeling fancy! Sculptra was originally intended to correct volume loss in facial areas, however, it has been proven effective in filling in dimples, hollowness & creases to create a fuller butt. Sculptra works by stimulating your body to produce collagen. After your treatment, over the next few weeks, collagen is gradually built up from the injections & the appearance of your results improves. The true results will become more apparent over the following months, & will only get better! The best part is this minimally invasive alternative to other more intense surgical options is an excellent choice for someone who doesn’t want a long recovery time.


Sylfirm - Radiofrequency MicroNeedling


Skin laxity & skin tightening can be very tricky to address! A lot of products and treatments geared towards correction simply do not work. If you’re lucky enough, you may have found a service that works but it may be painful. Sylfirm is minimally invasive, has minimal downtime & provides immediate results! This new & improved technology minimizes the appearance of scars, improves tone and texture and improves skin laxity on the face, neck & even on the body! The neck and abdomen are great areas on the body to treat outside of the face. The most amazing thing about Sylfirm is the fact that it’s great for all skin types!


Now let’s bring this whole thing full circle: build your body however you want to build your body! With anything, of course, do your research and leave it up to the experts. Anywhere from your head down to your feet, there’s a treatment crafted just for you. In addition to these professional treatments, it’s also highly recommended that you’re taking care of your body at home as well. Always remember, self care is the best care!
