Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar (glucose). It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Reduces your appetite, controls your cravings and gives you the feeling of satiety.
Tirzepatide is a single molecule that activates the body's receptors for GIP and GLP-1, which are natural incretin hormones. Both GIP and GLP-1 receptors are found in areas of the human brain important for appetite regulation. Tirzepatide has been shown to decrease food intake and modulate fat utilization. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Reduces your appetite, controls your cravings and gives you the feeling of satiety.

Morpheus8 is a new microneedling treatment developed to be more effective than other types of microneedling treatment. Morpheus8 stimulates remodeling in the adipose tissue of the dermis. Morpheus8 is a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas.
With age, skin can lose its elasticity, leading to wrinkles, lines, and sagging. Using targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and rebuild collagen, Morpehus8 can be used to treat skin concerns on both the face and body, including the abdomen, legs, buttocks, arms, hands, jowls, chest, and neck. The resulting effect is plumper, firmer, tighter, and smoother skin in as few as 1 to 2 sessions.
With the Morpheus8, topical numbing usually does the trick to limit the discomfort. However, if needed, we do have other options for pain control that you can discuss with your provider. On average, the treatment takes only 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete, reliant on the size of the treated area.
Before your treatment, local anesthetic cream will be applied to cleansed skin for 30 to 45 minutes. This is to minimize discomfort during the treatment process. During the procedure, a handheld device is pressed into the specified area of the skin, allowing microneedles to perforate the skin. Once the microneedles are in place, they generate radiofrequency (RF) waves to penetrate deep into the dermal layer. Since the needles are tiny, most patients tolerate the procedure well. This simple, safe treatment delivers excellent results for all skin types. You can expect mild redness and swelling immediately post procedure which tends to subside within 2-3 days. Results are generally seen a month after treatment with continued improvement over time and with subsequent Morpheus8 treatments.
Morpheus8 allows you to experience the benefits of a facelift without the need for surgery. It is the perfect treatment for patients looking for gradual, scarless skin correction. This advanced microneedling treatment penetrates deep into the skin and fat to rejuvenate aging facial features.
The main benefits of Morpheus8 include:
1. Increase collagen production
Morpheus8 introduces a new way to build collagen in the face. After the age of 20, the dermis layer produces 1% less collagen each year. Morpheus8 induces collagen production, resulting in firmer, fuller, and younger-looking skin.
2. Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
Morpheus8 can be used to improve aging around the eyes, mouth and forehead. Following your treatment, you will see noticeably tighter, brighter, and smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles.
3. Lift and tighten loose skin
Similar to a facelift, Morpheus8 can reduce sagging around your neck, chin, and jowls. It can also help remove excess fat from the arms, bra line, and other areas.
4. Minimize acne scarring
Morpheus8 can be extremely effective treatment for acne. The treatment can shrink or shut down the oil glands under the skin, preventing excess skin oil production that leads to acne. It can also treat acne and acne scars that form after your acne has healed, reducing the appearance of acne scars by up to 50% and smoothing out the skin’s overall texture.
5. Fade stretch marks
Stretch marks affect many men and women, and can form on the abdomen, buttocks, breasts, and thighs. Morpheus8 can help eliminate stretch marks by breaking up the scar tissue and fibrous tissue, leading to firmer skin with better elasticity.

Botulinum toxin, or Botox, is a purified substance that's derived from bacteria," said Aviva Preminger, MD. "In other words, it "is basically a very diluted concentration of a neurotoxin."
This neurotoxin is used to block the nerve signals to the muscle in which it was injected. When you do this, the muscle is not able to contract and is, in turn, weakened or paralyzed temporarily. The end result is the diminishing of unwanted facial wrinkles and lines.
Botox is used for a variety of things but is most often used to lessen the signs of aging. If you're in your 20s, 30s or older, you've probably started to notice those less-than-desirable facial wrinkles almost everyone has. Years of smiling, frowning and even laughing can cause creases in our faces and beyond, so if you don't like what you see, Botox might be a good option for you. "It's kind of a magic eraser when it comes to lines that involve motion of the face," said Preminger, adding that Botox actually prevents lines by paralyzing the muscles so that the muscles stop moving. "These lines in your forehead, crow's feet around your eyes, bunny lines all stop actually happening. It basically turns back the clock and time."
Recovery is probably one of the top reasons patients seek out Botox. Unlike other facial procedures like facelifts or brow lifts, which can take weeks to recover from, there is relatively no downtime needed after Botox injections. So, whether you have a demanding career, are a parent or both, Botox can be a great solution for those unwanted creases if you're in a pinched for time.
Dermal fillers are small injections that enhance your skin’s appearance by restoring the natural substances that keep it looking young. Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are all vital in keeping the skin smooth and tight. The combination of these under the skin ensures that your skin is firm. Your skin naturally loses elasticity with age, and with that comes fine lines and wrinkles. The effects of aging depend on many factors. Your genetics, your lifestyle, and your environment all play a role in the way your skin ages. Dermal fillers are a great way to improve the look of your skin. You can plump up thinning lips, reshape your jawline, or smooth out unwanted wrinkles. They give your skin a youthful and healthy appearance.
Dermal fillers are a great way to plump up your skin and get a youthful glow. But there are even more benefits that you may not know about. Here are some 10 benefits that you can experience with dermal fillers.
1. They Increase Collagen and Elastin Production
Collagen and Elastin production naturally slows down as you start to age.
One of the main ingredients in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid, which is known to increase levels of collagen and elastin. The more hyaluronic acid you have in your body, the more your skin will look and feel younger. For best results, you want to ensure that the dermal filler you chose has the hyaluronic acid component.
2. The Results Are Almost Immediate
Let’s face it, we all want to see instant results when we undergo beauty treatments. If you are plumping up your lips or smoothing out fine lines, dermal fillers produce results in as little as one week. However, they can take up to two weeks to fully settle into your skin. Most people see full results at around the two-week mark. With proper care and upkeep, your dermal fillers can also last a long time.
3. There Are Minimal Risks Involved
Like all beauty procedures, there are some risks involved. However, dermal fillers carry minimal risks. Immediately after the procedure, you may experience swelling, redness, as well as bruising around the site of injection. These side effects are usually mild and fade after a few days. It is rare to experience serious complications after a dermal filler treatment. It is important that your aesthetician is well-trained and that the clinic is certified for this procedure. Talk to your practitioner about all of the possible risks, and ensure that they are honest with you about the treatment. With an unskilled practitioner, it is possible to experience facial asymmetry as one of the potential risks. With the right clinic and aesthetician, you can alleviate this worry.
4. They Can Be Used With Other Treatments
One of the greatest benefits of dermal fillers is that you can pair them with other treatments. In fact, dermal fillers combined with Botox injections give the smoothest and natural-looking results for facial skin. For deeper and more obvious fine lines, Botox and Xeomin are the perfect addition to your dermal fillers. These types of injections help stop your facial muscles from contracting and deepening those lines further. Deeper lines, like crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, frown lines, and forehead lines are a little more difficult to eliminate using just dermal fillers and will require a combination approach. This can save you from invasive surgeries such as a facelift or skin grafting.
5. They Help Boost Your Confidence
If you are considering dermal fillers, you might be feeling self-conscious about your wrinkles. As we age, it is difficult to see the changes in our faces and bodies. Dermal fillers can do wonders in giving your confidence a much-needed boost. Although we encourage you to enjoy beauty treatments and their benefits, it is important not to rely on them solely for happiness. These injections can help improve your appearance and thus your confidence, but we still encourage you to age gracefully and use these as a treat. The goal is not to make you look like a different person but to enhance your natural beauty.
6. The Results Are Long-Lasting
The effects of dermal fillers can last from 6-18 months, depending on many factors. The type of fillers that are used, the lifestyle and care of the patient, and the area being treated, can all affect the efficacy and length of results. For your first treatment, you may want to consider shorter-term injections, in case you aren’t happy with the results or you want to reconsider the placement of the injections. You can opt for longer-lasting injections after your fillers have settled and you are able to appraise the results.
7. The Effects Are Subtle
When we say that the effects of dermal fillers are subtle, we mean that they are natural-looking. Oftentimes we hear criticisms about beauty procedures where it looks like there’s been work done. With dermal fillers, the effects are natural. Others will likely notice your enhanced appearance, but they won’t be able to tell that you’ve had work done. You can simply chalk it up to a day at the spa. If you’re looking for the best dermal fillers, there are some amazing and effective injectables for your skin.
8. They Minimize the Look of Scars
One of the biggest benefits of dermal fillers is that they can improve and minimize the appearance of scars. The hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers can soften scar tissue around the injection site.If you’ve suffered from acne or other conditions that left you with scarring, dermal fillers can help. However, they cannot be used for all types of scars. Be sure to speak with your practitioner before deciding on dermal fillers for your scars.
9. They Don't Require Recovery Time
If you’re a regular at your favorite clinic, you can get this procedure done in under ten minutes. It is non-invasive, meaning that it doesn’t require preparation, surgery, or downtime. That is one of the major advantages of dermal fillers. You can easily fit an appointment in, in the middle of your busy day. Though there may be slight swelling at the site of injection, it diminishes within a few days. If it is your first time, you will want to take extra time to talk to your practitioner about your concerns and discuss any possible risks.
10. They Feel Good on Your Skin
The contents of dermal fillers are the same naturally occurring substances in your skin. This not only gives your skin a natural look but also a natural feel. Once the contents are under your skin, the hyaluronic acid in the filler will feel like your very own skin.
