Came in for under-eye hollows. They explained the risks honestly and took their time. The result is subtle and I no longer look exhausted in photos.

Frown lines treated with 24 units

Deep vertical lines between the brows that stayed visible at rest. Treated conservatively so the brow still moves, and reviewed at two weeks to add four units on the stronger side.

Jawline filler was amazing. Clear plan, fair pricing, and they didn't try to upsell me on extra syringes.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Glad the plan worked out the way we discussed.
Thread lift for my jowls. Some tightness for a week, but my jawline looks sharper and more youthful. Great alternative to surgery for me.

Sclerotherapy for spider veins on my legs. After two sessions I'm wearing shorts again. Mild bruising that faded in a couple of weeks.

Cheek filler made a bigger difference than I expected. My face looks lifted and less tired, but still like me. Minimal swelling by day three.

Will a PDO thread lift work for my jowls or do I need a facelift?
