Your forehead is smooth… except these two little commas that are still moving? 👀

You know the ones...the tiny areas of movement sitting right above the brows while the rest of the forehead is perfectly smooth.

They’re often a dead giveaway that you’ve had Botox.

But here’s the thing: they don’t have to stay there.

These little areas of residual movement can absolutely be treated. Your injector just needs to understand why they’re happening and have the knowledge and confidence to address them without compromising your brow position.

Good Botox is about balance, not leaving behind punctuation marks. 😉

I do think some people are starting to move away from making everyone look the same 🙏🏻 but I've definitely noticed this and feel it's a disservice to aesthetics, individuality and ethnicity.

Personally, my goal is to focus on restoring YOU, not changing you. There are features that make you unique and beautiful, and rather than taking away from those features, we are using them to our advantage to work around and enhance.

Anyhow, I'm curious if anyone else is noticing this and/or frustrated by it.

I've been on this AS NEEDED since 2015 and thank goodness for it! 🙏🏻 There's nothing worse than going to do a skill that you know you can execute perfectly and have your body sabotage you!

Additionally, it is my secret to confident public speaking which I do several times per year 🗣️

If you are a patient of mine you know I am very honest and transparent with you. I. AM. EXHAUSTED. It is so difficult to be positive and smiling day in and day out when I am putting out multiple fires constantly while being trampled on.

I love all of you who treat me with respect because that's all I ask so thank you and thank you for making this a place I love. But your girl is tired.

That's all. Will probably take this down 🤣

Plot twist: there’s no filler between these photos. 👀

I posted this before + after to my stories and asked what treatment everyone thought we did.

The overwhelming answer? Filler.

But what you’re seeing is the result of microchanneling + laser treatments focused on collagen stimulation.

And this is exactly why I talk about collagen so much.

As we stimulate new collagen and remodel existing collagen, we can improve firmness, texture, pore appearance and the overall quality of the skin. That improvement can even make the face look more supported and refreshed—without adding volume.

Filler absolutely has its place. But sometimes the answer isn’t adding more.

Sometimes it’s getting your skin to rebuild more of its own. ✨

Acne is more than what you see on the surface—and treating the breakout is only half the battle.

The 1540nm laser works deeper in the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, helping improve:
✨ Active acne + inflammation
✨ Uneven texture
✨ Enlarged pores
✨ Post-acne marks
✨ Atrophic acne scars

By creating controlled thermal injury beneath the surface, 1540 encourages your skin to repair and rebuild itself—without aggressively damaging the epidermis.

The goal isn’t just clearer skin. It’s smoother, stronger, healthier skin long after the breakout is gone.

And because acne + scarring usually take time to develop, they take consistency to improve. A series of treatments = where the magic happens. 🪄

Microneedling isn’t a competition. 🩸

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that more blood = better results.

It doesn’t.

Deeper isn’t better. Bloodier isn’t better. More aggressive isn’t better.

The goal of microneedling is to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, not to cause unnecessary trauma.

When treatment is too aggressive:
• Inflammation increases beyond what’s beneficial.
• Hyperpigmentation becomes a risk.
• The skin barrier is more compromised.
• Growth factors and regenerative products are less likely to do what they’re designed to do because the tissue is busy responding to excessive injury rather than efficiently repairing and remodeling.

Think of it this way: we want to signal your skin to regenerate, not overwhelm it.

Beautiful results come from understanding skin biology—not making you bleed the most. ✨
