It’s now 2023 and we are all about doing bigger and better things here at Couture Med Spa for the “New Year, New You.” We are now offering an FDA approved treatment that will further enhance your inner beauty. SkinPen Precision microneedling is a safe and simple treatment with little downtime that can rejuvenate the skin, helping to treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation, as well as fine lines and wrinkles and overall skin texture. As we age, the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers break down and cause wrinkles in the skin. Regenerating the collagen and elastin in the skin can help give a more youthful appearance. The SkinPen Precision treatment is noninflammatory wound healing that does not use heat, which is ideal for clients who have melasma or other skin conditions that can be triggered by heat. Clinical studies showed that 85 percent of clients were satisfied with their SkinPen Precision treatment and 90 percent of clients recommended treatment to friends and family (Crown Aesthetics). Come along with me as I share my first SkinPen Precision experience and, let me just say, I am obsessed!
Before my first SkinPen Precision treatment, I stopped using any harsh products on my face such as my retinol 24 hours before the treatment. When I came in for my treatment, a topical lidocaine numbing cream was applied to my face to make the treatment more comfortable. During the treatment the SkinPen Precision device made millions of controlled microchannels into the skin to elicit the body’s natural wound healing process. The process creates new collagen and elastin, which gives your skin a younger, firmer, and glowing appearance. The treatment itself was nearly painless and following my treatment there was just some slightly red pigmentation on the face like a mild sunburn. I loved how quickly I could notice my skin changing after the treatment, with my skin feeling so tight and smooth. I was given what was left of the HG Lift Serum that was placed on my face during treatment to be applied to the treatment area and help soothe and hydrate the skin. The redness that I had on my face calmed down and went away within hours and I was instructed to not put anything else on the skin besides the HG Lift Serum for at least 24 hours. The next morning, my skin was glowing and I was in love with this new treatment Couture Med Spa is now offering.
SkinPen Precision is recommended to do as a series of treatments to keep collagen fibers building. The amount of treatments will vary based on individual goals and can be discussed with one of Couture Med Spa’s licensed Estheticians or providers. You can contact any of the four locations: Winter Park, Oviedo, Ocoee, and Lake Mary to get more information. SkinPen Precision is not just a one-time treatment because now with my skin new collagen fibers are going to be produced for up to 300 days after that first treatment! It is truly the treatment that keeps on giving and I am all about it with this new year, new me.

Some of the most popular anatomical landmarks for Dysport include the glabella, forehead, and crow’s feet, but did you know that Dysport can be used for more than just the wrinkles on your forehead and around the eyes? Dysport can be injected into various areas of the face and neck for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These areas include:
Jelly Roll
The jelly roll is the area located directly below the eyes that creates horizontal wrinkles when smiling. These lines can be smoothed out with just a few units of Dysport.
Bunny Scrunch
As cute as the bunny scrunch sounds, this is an area of wrinkle to avoid. Bunny scrunch is the area on the upper nose that creates horizontal lines when squinting.
Lip Flip/Perioral lines
This is becoming an increasingly popular area for Dysport as it relaxes the upper lip muscle, preventing it from flipping under when smiling and giving it a slightly larger, flipped-outward appearance. It also prevents the lips from pursing together, creating vertical lines also known as perioral lines.
Gummy Smile
Do your gums show when you smile? This could be due to hyperfunctional lip elevator muscles. Injecting Dysport to this area will help relax the muscle without freezing your smile or limiting the expression around your mouth. By targeting the elevating muscles, you can confidently smile bigger and brighter.
Downward Turn
Do your lips naturally draw down in the corner of your mouth at rest? This could be due to an overactive Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscle. A few units of Dysport help by temporarily relaxing the downward pulling action of the DAO muscle, preventing future marionette lines.
Masseters
When a neuromodulator is injected into the jaw muscles, also known as the masseters, the muscles respond by losing some of their bulk, creating a slimming effect on your face. Masseter injections have also been beneficial with clients experiencing pain from TMJ.
Platysma Bands
Have you been considering a neck lift, but don’t want to commit to the cost and downtime that comes with surgery? Injected into the platysma bands, Dysport helps smooth the bands and decrease the lines on the neck to give the neck a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Let’s see how Dysport can help you!
