Botox (but we can’t use that word because it's trademarked…so its neuromodulator. And maybe after that you wondered, well whats the difference and how much do I need? How long does it last? That’s what this post is for! How Long Does Jeuveau Take to Work, or “kick in”? Most people start noticing

If you’ve been considering laser hair removal, you’ve probably had this question hanging around: does it hurt? There’s also a good chance, if you had laser hair removal in the past (or knew anyone who did) you’ve heard that it hurts, so you’re a little apprehensive. I’m with you. I wasn't sure what to expect for my first session a few months ago, so I thought I’d share so you're more prepared also! First - lets address the number one question: its not 100% painless - but m

If you've been on social media lately, you might have seen the "needle-less filler facial" floating around. It's having a real moment in Korean skincare right now - even though its been around since about 2018...and when something has a viral moment, a lot of questions tend to pop up in my treatment room. Things like "can it replace filler?" and "is it safe" and "what does it even do?" Stay with me, there's some nuance that's easy to miss. First things first, it's not injecta

But they're actually pretty different in how they work, what and who they're best for. First: They're Not All Actually Lasers IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL (Bro

What Does 650-Microsecond Technology Actually Mean? If you've been reading our blog posts (or researching on your own!) about the Aerolase Neo, you've probably seen us mention "650-microsecond technology" more than once….and iif your reaction was "ooohhhhkkkaaaay Amber, but what does that mean?" that’s totally fair. What Is a Microsecond? A microsecond is one millionth of a second. Aerolase delivers laser energy in 650 microseconds, which is extremely fast. Our skin doesn’t e
