Lux Medical Aesthetics

Many of you have been a patient of mine for years. 🙏
Some of you follow my business because we have met or you are a friend.
Some of you have already stopped reading this post 😉😉
For those of you who “really” want to hear more from me about the treatments, the skincare, the health and wellness benefits of anti-aging + self care…. I am grateful for your interest in my experience and years of practice.
I’d like to offer information if it is helpful to you…..

Please let me know if you’d like more IG posts with information on treatments, skincare tips, wellness tips:

How do I help you choose between Xeomin, Botox and Dysport for your wrinkle relaxation?

Typically duration and cost are the main factors.
- Botox 7-10 days for result
- Xeomin & Dysport 3-5 days for result
Xeomin & Dysport costs slightly less for same 3-4 month result.
I think of wrinkle relaxing with Xeomin, Botox and Dysport as something fun you can try but definitely a matter of personal choice. I never try to give people the impression that they need it. Sometimes great skincare is actually what someone is looking for. Sometimes a patient will try it then decide it’s not their thing. I support everyone’s personal beauty choices. And I believe “less is more”.
If you’d like to discuss whether wrinkle relaxing is something you’d like to try then request a consultation online.
Lots of love

My heart is so happy!

The business of aesthetics has shifted since I began my training and I don’t follow the trends. . . I follow my health care professional standards.
I am deeply concerned about the push from social media, pharmaceutical reps and profit focused medi spas — pushing patients to desire an unnatural looking face.

If you have questions where to start or what to change in your daily regimen — I am honored to help you. . .

Resistance to BOTOX is happening due to the production of neutralizing antibodies following administration of BTX-A formulations for cosmetic purposes.

After 10 years in aesthetics I have seen this happen to patients. Personally it caused me to switch to Xeomin last year. (Among other concerning issues in our current medical climate.)

Why I feel is a better option for most patients…

“With the repetition of Botox injections, a new concern has emerged:

clinical resistance and loss of effectiveness of the treatment.

In the majority of the studies, development of neutralizing antibodies to botulinum toxin was considered responsible of the induced clinical resistance.”

I will be encouraging those who continue on tox injections to consider and switch to the most purified form on the market.
