Want to look refreshed and rested — without looking “done”?

The goal

Where you're starting from

You notice lines, lost volume, or a tired look — but you don't want to look 'done.' You want subtle changes that still look like you.

The outcome

What you can expect

Softened lines, restored volume, and healthier-looking skin, with results calibrated carefully to your features.

  • Conservative, natural-looking placement
  • Planned around your facial anatomy
  • Minimal downtime
  • Performed by a Doctor of Nursing Practice
Who it's for

Is this right for you?

Anyone wanting to soften expression lines, restore lost volume, or improve skin quality with minimal downtime.

Clinical expertise

Every injection is planned and placed by Dr. Myrjean Aquino, DNP, FNP, with a trained eye for proportion and balance — conservative by design.

How we treat it

The right tool, chosen for your goal — not the other way around.

  • Botox

    Relaxes the muscles behind forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet for a smoother, well-rested look.

  • Dermal Fillers

    Restores volume and definition to cheeks, lips, and folds for natural-looking contour and balance.

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

    Uses your own platelets to improve skin quality and support facial and hair rejuvenation.

  • Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

    Targeted treatments that refresh tone and texture alongside your injectable plan.

Patient education

What to know before you book

Clear, honest information so you can feel confident and prepared for your visit.

What to expect

Your appointment experience

Every visit begins with a facial assessment, where Dr. Myrjean Aquino, DNP, FNP, studies your anatomy, expression, and goals before anything is injected. The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream or ice may be used for comfort. Botox injections take just a few minutes using very fine needles; dermal filler and PRP treatments take a bit longer. You'll feel small pinches and pressure, but most patients find the experience quick and very tolerable.

Downtime & recovery

Getting back to your day

Downtime is minimal — most patients return to daily activities the same day. Temporary redness, small bumps, mild swelling, or pinpoint bruising at injection sites can occur and typically settle within a few hours to a few days. We'll review simple steps to minimize swelling and bruising before you leave.

Results timeline

When you'll see changes

Botox typically begins working in 3–5 days, with full effect around two weeks, and lasts roughly 3–4 months. Dermal filler results are visible immediately and refine as swelling settles over one to two weeks. PRP improvements build gradually over several weeks. Individual results vary, and a maintenance schedule helps keep your look consistent.

Aftercare

Caring for yourself afterward

  • Stay upright for about 4 hours after Botox and avoid rubbing the treated area.
  • Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive heat for 24 hours.
  • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements right before and after to limit bruising.
  • Use a cool compress for any swelling; do not massage filler unless instructed.
  • Keep the skin clean and delay makeup on injection sites as advised.
  • Contact us with any unusual pain, spreading swelling, or changes in vision.
