269: Five Minute Friday: Botox For TMJ Disorders And Jawline Slimming
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing botox injections for the masseters. Botox injection into the masseter muscle is ideal for patients who are grinding and clenching their teeth. It is also for patients who have frequent tension or migraine headaches, and for patients who do not like the shape of their face because of square or thick jawlines. Within a week of receiving masseter botox, facial muscle tension is relieved, and after 6-8 weeks the muscles will atrophy- meaning they will relax and the jawline will appear slimmer. To hear more about why masseter botox could be for you tune in to this weeks podcast. I love informing my Beauty Byters with new information!

267: Five Minute Friday: The Impact Of Air Pollution On Skin
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing the impact of air pollution on skin! Exposure of the skin to air pollutants has been associated with skin aging and inflammatory or allergic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis or acne. Although human skin acts as a biological shield against pro-oxidative chemical and physical air pollutants, the prolonged or repetitive exposure to high levels of these pollutants may have profound negative effects on the skin. The protective ability of the skin is not unlimited, and problems arise when an abnormal exposure to environmental stressors exceeds the skin's normal defensive potential To hear more about how to protect your skin from air pollution tune in to this weeks podcast.

265: Five Minute Friday: The Difference Between Kybella and Chin Liposuction
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing Kybella and Chin Liposuction! When choosing between Kybella and Chin Liposuction ask yourself if you want a procedure with minimal downtime and no anesthesia. If that is the case, Kybella is the option for you. Kybella is a fat melting shot and is great for spot reducing areas that are hard to eliminate with exercise and diet alone. However, chin liposuction is the gold standard when eliminating fat from the neck area. The results are more immediate with chin liposuction as the fat has already been removed, but overall skin tightening can take up to 6-12 months. To hear more about Kybella and Chin Liposuction tune in to this weeks podcast. I love informing my Beauty Byters with new information! Have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast?

263: Five Minute Friday: Are Thread-Lifts Worth It??
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing Thread Lifts! Thread-lifts are worth it for the right patient with the right skin laxity, done by the right injector. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, the results can be great! For patients with too much skin laxity, a face lift is needed to tighten and trim excess skin. However, it is important to note that this procedure along with filler injections, are all secondary to surgery. The gold standard is always a surgical brow lift and mid face lift. Tune in to hear how thread-lifts are done, how they work, and how they can be botched! I love informing my Beauty Byters with new information!

261: Five Minute Friday: All About Lip Filler!
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing Lip Filler! It is important to note that not all injectors have the same technique! Performing lip injections takes extreme precision, a delicate eye, and a ton of experience. When starting out with lip filler, always begin with small amounts. One syringe max on the first visit. To maintain your lip filler, see your injector every 6 months to a year! Listen to hear more about lip filler trends and my favorite filler brands.
