The physician performs every procedure, including Botox, filler injections and PDO thread lifts. The practice says this sets it apart from most medspas.

PDO threads are placed under the skin to lift and tighten and to encourage collagen production. Barbed threads are typically used to lift tissue along the jaw and neck, while mesh braided threads add volume to the cheeks, under the eyes and at the mouth folds and help smooth wrinkles. PDO threads can be used across the face, including the cheeks, brows, under-eye area, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline and neck, and on the arms, thighs and abdomen. A PDO thread lift takes about 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the area. Before treatment, patients are asked to avoid omega fish oils and vitamin E for at least two days and to avoid blood thinners such as naproxen, Advil and ibuprofen, with Tylenol preferred. For barbed threads, the practice recommends booking at least one week before a major event and avoiding high-intensity exercise for 72 hours afterward.

The Botox and Beyond Membership is an all-inclusive plan for skin quality. Members receive one complimentary Laser Photofacial or Venus Radiofrequency treatment each month for the face or neck, and a complimentary PDO Microthreads or microneedling treatment at each six-month anniversary. Each anniversary year also includes a complimentary 50-unit Botox credit and a member Botox rate. Members receive 10% off fillers, 20% off PDO Thread Lifts and 10% off skin care products.

The practice focuses on non-surgical aesthetic medicine, with the physician performing every procedure. It uses PDO threads and other minimally invasive options, which the practice presents as an alternative to a surgical facelift.
