Neurotoxin treatments use Botox, Dysport or Xeomin to address frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. A session is a few small injections and usually takes under 30 minutes. Noticeable change appears within 5 to 7 days, with full results at about 14 days, and results typically last around 3 to 6 months. Pregnant or nursing clients are not eligible. Before treatment, clients are asked to avoid retinoids for three days and alcohol for 24 hours, and to arrive without makeup. Neurotoxins have been used medically since the 1970s.

Microneedling uses a handheld device with sterile needles to create tiny micro wounds in the skin, which the practice says stimulates collagen and elastin production. It is used for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and other skin concerns. A numbing cream is applied first, and treatment is usually a series of sessions. Afterward, redness and swelling can last up to a few days, and sun exposure should be avoided until the skin heals. Microneedling can also be done with PRP as a separate service. The practice describes its microneedling as having a well-established safety profile.

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, offered for the lips, chin, cheeks, jawline and nasolabial folds. A range of products is carried, and the nurse practitioner selects the filler during consultation. Appointments take about 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the area, and results are expected to last 6 to 24 months. Some fillers contain lidocaine, and topical numbing can also be used. Afterward, clients should skip makeup right away, avoid lying down for four hours and skip facials for two weeks. Lip patients are also asked to avoid straws, smoking and heavy kissing for two weeks.

IV hydration therapy, also called IV drip therapy, delivers fluids with electrolytes, vitamins, minerals and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV line. Infusions take between 30 and 90 minutes, and drip formulations are personalized during consultation. The practice says IV therapy may help with fatigue, stress and occasional weakened immunity. Frequency, which may be as often as weekly, is set by a healthcare provider. A consultation lasts 30 minutes and is listed at no charge on the booking page.

The practice says its providers prioritize client comfort and results, with treatments and IV formulations personalized during consultation.
