Botulinum (Neurotoxin) Injections

Botulinum injections are a safe, effective, and easy way to treat dynamic wrinkles. They relax specific muscles to give you a naturally youthful appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

“Botox” is derived from the bacteria, Clostridium botulinum, but in small doses that are safe to inject into muscles of the face, neck, and other body parts. It temporarily blocks nerve signals that would normally cause muscle movement, so those muscles naturally relax.

This is also a great preventive treatment! The more we use our facial muscles, the more “creasing” starts to happen. Think of the areas of your face like a sheet of paper. The more you fold the piece of paper (actively engage the muscles), the deeper the crease becomes. Over time, the crease will go from being only visible with activation of the muscle (dynamic wrinkles) to it being visible at rest (static wrinkles). With botulinum injections, the goal is to smooth out those creases over time for younger-looking skin.

There are 3 main types available: Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin (the purest form).

Common Areas Treated:

  • “11” (frown) lines

  • Horizontal forehead lines

  • Crow’s feet (smile/laugh lines)

  • Bunny lines (upper part of the nose)

  • Lipstick/”smoker’s” (vertical upper lip) lines

  • Lip flips (for more plump/full upper lips)

  • Massesters for jaw slimming or TMJ pain (teeth grinding)

Microneedling Treatments

Microneedling skin rejuvenation is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments today to keep skin looking youthful by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars

However, not all microneedling pens are created equal.

Even though there are many on the market, only a few devices are FDA-cleared. We want what’s best for our patients, and that’s why we use Rejuvapen NXT®, which is FDA-cleared for facial wrinkles and aesthetic use. Rejuvapen has advanced features which allow us to customize the speed and depth exactly to what your skin needs to heal itself.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create “micro-punctures” in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. This stimulates the release of growth factors which “tricks” your body into producing new collagen, elastin, and neovascularization of the dermis - all of which keep your skin supple and smooth.

This is truly one of the best ways to kick-start your body’s natural healing ability from the inside out. We recommend 2-5 treatments on average.

Microneedling is great for:

  • Tightening and firming

  • Rejuvenating dull skin

  • Minimizing acne and body scars

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks

  • Evening out skin texture

PRICING:

  • $350 per treatment

  • $900 Package of 3 treatments

Vampire Facials

Vampire facial = microneedling + platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to provide the ultimate more youthful, healthy, and smooth appearance.

PRP contains concentrated platelets and growth factors that are derived from your own blood!

That means there is no risk of your body reacting negatively to it. A small sample of blood is drawn and spun (twice) in a centrifuge to obtain the PRP. This is used with microneedling to penetrate deeper into the dermis of the skin to directly stimulate collagen and elastin production.

When PRP is placed into a specific damaged area, such as the face, it triggers a healing cascade that promotes healing and tissue responses to repair that area - the natural way. As a result, new collagen begins to form, so you are essentially “tricking” your body into creating healthier, younger skin exactly where you want it.

The main caveat is not all vampire facials use PRP despite their claims. Many places claim to provide PRP, but they are, in fact, PPP (platelet-poor plasma) due to the non-therapeutic level of platelet concentration (doing only 1 spin in the centrifuge) and the type of centrifuge used. This is why it is important to do your research! Of all the centrifuge machines on the market, Emcyte is one of the best in yielding the most concentrated form of PRP. And that is what we use.

Collagen production starts to decline in our early 20s to the point where we are losing collagen by our 30s. That’s why Dr. Iris loves this treatment as it is truly regenerative by using your own body’s growth factors and mechanisms to heal itself! We recommend 2-3 treatments on average.

Areas of Treatment:
• Face, neck, & décolleté (choose, 1, 2, or all 3)

PRICING:

  • $900 per treatment

  • $2,400 Package of 3 treatments

Dermal Fillers Injections

Dermal filler injections are great for rejuvenating the face by plumping thin lips, enhancing shallow contours, softening facial creases, removing wrinkles, and improving the appearance of scars. These injections are customized to your facial anatomy and aesthetic concerns. This minimally invasive treatment targets areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging, leaving you with a refreshed, youthful appearance. Restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance your natural beauty with Dermal Fillers.

“Dr. Tian is an incredible provider of injections. She cares about her patients and listens to their concerns and needs. She is very skillful in her approach and takes her time in examining her patient's natural facial features before injecting. I got a micro lip flip recently and I'm thrilled with my results! My lips look bigger, but still natural and in balance with my face.”

What We Use and Recommend for Beauty Products

Of all the natural skincare and makeup products on the market, 100% Pure is the purest and healthiest. The word “natural” is thrown around with variable definitions. What makes this company different is that it is truly “natural” by definition = an ingredient or formula composed of plant, mineral, and/or marine vegetation that undergoes chemical changes due to biological processes such as fermentation, distillation, and cold processing.

  • Naturally pigmented from fruits, vegetables, tea, & cocoa (no synthetic, artificial dyes, heavy metals, or additives)

  • Certified cruelty-free and all formulations adhere to strict purity standards

Dr. Iris has used 100% Pure products since the company began as a small store in 2006. It has since been featured on many of the major beauty sources (People, InStyle, Oprah, Elle) and used by major celebrities.

“I saw Dr. Tian for some preventative botox on my forehead. She was very gentle and was able to achieve my desired results in a conservative manner. I would 100% recommend Dr. Tian to my friends and family. You are in good hands with her!”

  • Collagen is an essential protein that our bodies produce that is found in our connective tissue, skin, tendon, bone, and cartilage. It provides structural support to tissues and is essential in tissue repair and cell signaling.

    Unfortunately, collagen production starts to decline in our early 20s to the point where we are actually losing collagen by our 30s. This is why preventive care (using SPF daily, having a skincare regimen, avoiding products with toxic/harsh chemicals) and microneedling/vampire facial treatments, which naturally stimulate your body to produce collagen and elastin, is so important!

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains concentrated platelets and growth factors that are derived from your own blood! That means there is no risk of your body reacting negatively to it.

As a result, new collagen begins to form, so you are essentially “tricking” your body into creating healthier, younger skin exactly where you want it.

    Of all the centrifuge machines on the market, Emcyte is one of the best and most consistent in yielding the most therapeutically concentrated form of PRP. And that is what we use.
