Why Do We Recommend Alastin Here in Aiyana Aesthetics?
Why Do We Recommend Alastin Here in Aiyana Aesthetics? Cosmetic treatments have come a long way, effectively removing unwanted skin conditions and, at the same time, restoring a vibrant look. However, the treatment itself is just a part of the process, and your aftercare process is just as necessary as the treatment. That’s why, here at AIYANA Aesthetics, we offer Alastin to your clients to enhance the effects of their cosmetic treatments. When contemplating your cosmetic treatments, it’s only natural to be concerned about their outcomes. To alleviate these concerns, you need to know what the procedure entails and its aftercare procedures. It’s essential that you exercise patience and properly follow your provider’s guidelines to ensure safety and results. While aftercare products are extra expenses, there is a reason why we frequently recommend these products. Why We Offer Aftercare Skin Care Products? Offering skin care products is after a cosmetic treatment is commonplace. We may provide toners, sunscreens, or serums to protect and nourish the skin, making it look the best. Likewise, certain cosmetic treatments involve procedures that overstimulate the skin. You’ll need aftercare skin products of these procedures to reduce the potential side effects of the treatment� getting the best out of the treatment. Depending on the treatment, we will give different products suited for it. Nevertheless, many cosmetic treatments don’t require aftercare skin care products. While it’s not that necessary, an aftercare skin care product can still enhance the effects. However, there is one product that we consistently offer, no matter the treatment. We offer this particular product as aftercare support after you’ve just had your cosmetic treatment. This product is Alastin. What Is Alastin? Alastin skin care product is an item that is sold by a company that goes by the same name, Alastin. Alastin company offers innovative top-of-the-line enhancement items specifically for dermatologists, estheticians, and plastic surgeons. These professionals use these products for their patients to assist in their aftercare guidelines. Their top item, Alastin, is a formula that enhances the efficacy of both deep skin and surface skin layer treatments. Alastin also enhances the healing process, minimizing the chances of side effects and optimizing the result of the treatment. Other products do the same thing, but not many are as effective as Alastin. You can use two types of Alastin to give your skin a vibrant appearance: Alastin Skin Nectar and Alastin Restorative Skin Complex. We will discuss each of these options to determine which ones are the best for you. Alastin Skin Nectar Alastin Skin Nectar will be the product we offer you after receiving your cosmetic treatment. However, depending on the needs of the treatment, we may apply Alastin even before the treatment. The formula is a blend of active peptides and botanicals that support your skin’s natural cycle. It enhances and promotes the benefits of recycling, rebuilding, and replenishing your skin’s rejuvenation processes, allowing for quick recovery and maintaining a youthful glow. What Are Peptides? Peptides are the main key ingredient for the Alastin Skin Nectar. These are short-chain amino acids that make up the well-known collagen and elastin. They are the buzz words of cosmetic treatments that you frequently hear. Your skin naturally produces collagen and elastin, plumping the skin and making it stretchable. But as you age, these productions steadily decrease, leading to wrinkles and other signs of aging. But thanks to most cosmetic treatments, restoring collagen and elastin production is possible, losing the unwanted signs of aging. We can support that skin collagen and elastic restructuring by putting peptides, which enable collagen and elastin to form chains more effectively. As a result, we can significantly speed up the entire ordeal. Peptides are synthetically made, and they are very predictable, allowing the user to predict results since the amino acid sequence is well known. Benefits Of Alastin Skin Nectar Quicker recovery by supporting the treatment’s collagen and elastin production Has antioxidant properties, preventing complications Clears damage and debris Alastin Restorative Skin Complex While Alastin Skin Nectar was for therapeutic purposes, Alastin Restorative Skin Complex is more about prevention. We can recommend this product to allow the cosmetic treatment to last as long as possible, but you can choose not to get the item. Alastin Restorative Skin Complex aims to allow your skin to consistently make it look young, vibrant and keep signs of aging away as long as possible through TriHex Technology. What Is TriHex Technology? Alastin Restorative Skin Complex utilizes TriHex Technology to clear out the old collagen and elastin proteins by giving the skin the ability to produce new collagen and elastin. Previously, peptides were about assisting the cosmetic treatment from developing chains of collagen and elastin. The cosmetic treatments already produce collagen and elastin, so there’s no need for further stimulation for production. On the other hand, TriHex Technology replaces the old collagen and elastin bonds by adding new ones. Collagen and elastin diminish thanks to sun exposure and aging, and we will restore that. TriHex Technology happens in three steps, remove, rebuild, and replenish. Remove: TriHex Technology first removes the clumps of aged collagen and elastin to allow room for new proteins to develop. While it may seem inefficient to remove these proteins, they are actually in the way. They exist there, but they are not well-structured to provide plumpness and elasticity, hindering new ones from developing. Rebuild: Next, it rebuilding these structures start. There’s room for new collagen and elastin to enter, and no damaged fragments are lying around. It can now effectively build and do its job. Replenish: Even the new collagen and elastin structures will grow old and weaken. To that end, the cycle repeats, replenishing the damaged fragments with new ones. Benefits Alastin Restorative Skin Complex Volumizes the skin, preventing signs of aging Protects the skin from further damage and replenishes it Takeaway Cosmetic treatments are just a part of rejuvenating and fighting back aging, and the aftercare guidelines are just as important. That’s why, here at AIYANA, we offer you Alastin items to assist in recovery and enhance the effects of the

It is always easier to prevent, than it is to turn back the clock. But, don’t lose hope. At AIYANA, we have you covered.

Wear Sunscreen You are probably sick of us taking about the good ol’ SPF, but honestly it is the most cost-effective anti-aging tool out there. Some may ask what sunscreen to buy and we are always quick to answer with one that gives you the protection from the sun and the screens. As we are exposed to more and more screens, que looking down at our phones, we are at an increased risk of certain lights causing damage to our skin. We love iS CLINICAL Eclipse SPF as it provides the adequate protection from all the lights around us. Medical Grade Skincare Why is medical grade skincare so important? When it comes to taking care of your skin, there is no better investment than into a skincare line that is medical grade, meaning pharmaceutical manufactured, with actual research and science backing it. When you buy skincare products it the store, they can say whatever they want on the bottle, even if the information is false. When it comes to medical grade products, there are standards in the industry, and they are result driven so you are going to get the best products that will actually improve your skin. As you know, we love ALASTIN and iS CLINICAL around here. To get started with skincare, we recommend starting with the ALASTIN Daily Beauty Regimen and a customized serum for you. We would love to have you at AIYANA for a complementary consult to talk more in depth about your skincare needs. Facial Treatments Facial treatments are more than just a luxury spa treatment. Although, we do love the fact that our facials at AIYANA are both luxury and results driven, we know that both are important. Why are facials a great way to help you age gracefully? With the productivity of facials including extractions, stimulating collagen production, increasing cellular turnover, infusing botanicals and growth factors to help improve texture, tone and laxity, facials are a great way to invest in your skin and provide it an ability to perform at its best. There are many types of facial treatments out there, ranging from a soothing, relaxing facial, to more invasive like microneedling. It is best to schedule a consult to discuss your needs. Injectables There are times when injectables, such as Botox/Dysport and dermal fillers are needed. This can be preventative as well as corrective, based on each individuals needs. Botox/Dysport are great at relaxing muscles to prevent deeper lines from developing. It can also help with tension headaches, TMJ and migraines. Fillers are great to add volume where it has been lost. As we age, our fat pads start to shift and due to gravity start to fall. By adding filler into that area, we are able to replace the volume that no longer exists, creating a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Healthy Lifestyle Aging gracefully can be something that starts on the inside. We always recommend our clients eat a healthy diet, exercise and drink water. Not only is this beneficial for your overall health, but it honestly helps your skin more than most of us think. Exercise is a great way to help your body function at its best, and when it does, your skin will show it. We’d love to see you at AIYANA for a commentary consult to get your skin glowing again!

Chemical Peels Chemical peels are a great skincare treatment option in a medispa as a stepping stone into deeper skin treatments. We love our iS CLINICAL chemical peels as the results are unparalleled and the peeling is abundant. The results speak for themselves. A series of 3 peels is ideal to get the best results. So, what differentiates one chemical peel from another? Superficial peels or light peels use acids such as alpha-hydroxy to gently exfoliate the skin. This peel is only acting on the top layer of the skin. Medium peels use TCA, glycolic acid, or a mixture of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol that will remove damaged skin cells. These peels reach the middle and outer layers of the skin. Microneedling AIYANA Microneedling AKA Collagen Induction Therapy is the perfect skin care treatment to help with texture, tone, and laxity of skin. It also can be focused on deep lines and wrinkles to soften their appearance. It is a great treatment when you are needing that extra collagen boost and notice those superficial fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. After a series of 3 or 6 treatments, your skin will be glowing! We love our SkinPen device as it is the best microneedling device on the market. It’s a focused treatment with great results. We utilized iS CLINICAL Youth Serum and ALASTIN Regenerative Skin Nectar immediately post treatment. to help with penetration. It absorbs into those open microchannels to deliver the BEST skincare products at a time when needed most. Post microneedling, a Reparative Aftercare Hydrojelly mask is applied as well as Medical-grade LED lights. This helps with recovery and expedites results. Sculptra The next level of collagen therapy, Sculptra is an injectable that triggers our body to create its own collagen. After about 1 month, our body has removed all the Sculptra from our system. and collagen is starting to form. After about 2-4 months, we have 3-5 years worth of collagen formation and visible results are seen. Sculptra can help with texture, tone and laxity of skin. With multiple treatments, volume and fullness can be noted in areas of deficiency. It is recommended a series of 1-2 treatments in the first 3 months, possibly 1 more treatment at 6 months and then you will be put on the yearly Sculptra plan. It is a great maintenance treatment to help tighten the skin and keep it looking its best. Overtime, you will continue to build collagen, which in turn can decrease the need of fillers and Botox/Dysport so you are using less. Ready to book your next spa treatment? Click BOOK NOW below.

BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using pellet therapy may help balance hormones in both women and men. Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in the body, as they act as messengers, interacting with specific target cells and organs to stimulate them into action. As we age, hormone production changes and hormone imbalance can occur. A hormone imbalance in the body can have a variety of health issues. The BioTE method of hormone replacement therapy may help provide relief. Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in the body. They act as messengers, designed to interact with specific target cells and organs and provoke a change or result. As we age, hormone production changes and hormonal imbalance can occur. Unbalanced hormones can have a variety of side effects and symptoms. (Biotemedical.com) Skincare Our passion for skincare runs deep at AIYANA. It is imperative that you invest in your skin just as much as other treatments. Self-care starts with taking care of you so you feel better and have a more positive outlook on life. The best skincare options include medical-grade products, such as facials, chemical peels, microneedling and even Sculptra treatments. Medical-grade skincare can elevate your anti-aging game and give you a great way to show some self-love.

Sculptra
Sculptra When you think of anti-aging, the first thing that usually pops up is collagen. Collagen supplements, drinks and any other form is widely available for you to purchase. But, does that type of collagen actually produce the results that you are looking for? Collagen Supplements When you drink or take collagen as a pill form, it is in the chemical compound of a full collagen molecule. However, as that collagen molecule goes through the digestive tract and process of breaking down so your body can use it, its broken into tiny chemical compounds that no longer represent the original collagen molecule. Think of the alphabet, the letters ABC. When you take a collagen supplement, you are originally taking the full ABC. However, as your body breaks it down and digests, you are then getting As and Bs and Cs, all broken apart. Your body no longer recognizes those As, Bs and Cs and ABC, it recognizes them individually. Therefore, you are not getting collagen, you are only absorbing collagen parts, which does not produce the same results as collagen. Other Collagen Stimulating Modalities Microneedling is another great way to produce collagen in the skin. It is done on the skins surface, and working more on the epidermis and mildly on the dermis. This is a great way to improve texture and skin tone, and does help a bit with laxity. It also will help improve those fine lines and wrinkles. It is one of our favorite facial treatments at AIYANA as it has medical-grade results with minimal downtime. Medical-grade skin care products that create a reaction of the skins cells are another great way to produce collagen. When you are looking for the best collagen producing skincare, look no further than ALASTIN. With it’s triHEX technology and its ability to clear out old collagen and then produce new collagen AND elastin, ALASTIN is the best. iS CLINICAL also provides botanical copper tri-peptide growth factors for a more plant based way to produce collagen. Sculptra Sculptra has been on the market for many years and has made a huge name for itself. It is one of the ONLY injectable on the market that inducing natural collagen production. It was first brought to the market to help with AIDS patients and the structure of the face. Now, it is used mainstream for anyone looking to improve their overall collagen production. It is the best way to produce your own collagen and to get you aging in reverse. After our 20s, we start to lose collagen and no longer make it ourselves. Each year, we are losing more than we can make and it starts to show. With Sculptra, the collagen that is produced will last 3-5 years. However, depending on when you start Sculptra, you may need to do some catch up. But, after a few sessions over a year, you will be making more collagen than you lose and you will start to age backwards! Imagine that, an actual injectable that can achieve the impossible. Sculptra can. It is also the only injectable that you actually buy, because it is yours to keep once you have it. With tox and fillers, you are constantly having to get touch ups as it metabolizes and disappears over time. Ready to up your anti-aging game? Sculptra is it. Recent Posts
5 Ways to Anti-Age the Eyes
5 Ways to Anti-Age the Eyes There are certain areas on the face that cannot go undetected when it comes to aging. The area around the eyes is one of those. Puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, or “bags” as they are lovingly called, can age an individual by more than 10 years. Plus, looking tired and exhausted all the time is not a look we are going for. That is why we have compiled the 5 way to reduce these pesky “bags” and to say goodbye to them forever. Hydration Your skin is made up of 70-75% water. It’s no wonder that keeping yourself hydrated will only make your skin look better. Water is a perfect way to do this. Drinking at least 8 glasses, or more, will help keep your skin in so many ways. There are so many benefits and one of them is that your skin plumps when it is hydrated. That means that your fines lines and wrinkles will be less visible, your lips will be plumper and your eyes will be less sunken. Its a win-win all around. You don’t have to only think of water when it comes to hydration. All of the food you consume has water in it as well and all count towards your daily goal. If you can’t stomach water, try sparkling water, infused or flavored. All will work when you are trying to achieve hydration. Seasonal Allergies? If you think you are suffering from seasonal allergies, taking an anti-histamine can help with your puffy eyes. This can be due to the reaction you are having to the allergens which causes this type of symptom. You may also experience red, itchy and watery eyes. Taking Benadryl, Claritin or Zyrtec can help with this. It is a good idea to avoid potential allergens when possible. You may also be having a reaction to certain skincare products, soaps and makeup. Ensure this is no the case by keeping a diary to keep track of any symptoms you may be having that are associated with products. Eliminate any that cause issues. Wear Sunscreen Protecting your skin from the sun and other elements can dramatically reduce the amount of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and aging. This may also increase or worsen the dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. Wearing a sunscreen that is 30 SPF or higher and broad spectrum, where it protects against the suns rays as well as the lights on our devices is highly advised. You can also stay out of the sun by wearing a hat when you are outdoors and exposed, sitting in the shade, wearing protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds. Skincare We’ve said it before, and we will say it again. There is nothing more you can do for your skin than a skincare routine that is twice a day, using medical-grade products. Why does that matter? When you are using over-the-counter skincare products you are wasting money. They will only take your skin as far as they can, and it ain’t that far. The moment you start using medical-grade, you will notice changes in the first 2 weeks. Give it 2 months and you will love the skin you’re in. When it comes to under the eyes, dark circles are a hard to treat area. That is where skincare is a must. Using an eye cream specifically designed to target that area will bring about healthy skin and help alleviate the dark circles, plus help with the skin texture at the same time. Injections and other procedures Botox, filler, microneedling and Natural Growth Factor Injections are great options for under the eye treatment. Botox and filler will provide desired results and having lasting effects. Botox does wear off in 3-4 months, filler can last up to 2 years. Microneedling takes about 3 -6 treatments per year to obtain the desired refreshed look. The results are worth it. By adding Botox to the under eye area in a fashion called microtox, it will soften the fine lines and decrease the puffiness for a more desirable outcome. Filler will add volume back where it was lost and help camouflage the fat pad that sometimes starts to migrate downward as we age. It was also fill in the lines created by the ligaments that start to pull down as well. Microneedling creates injury to the tissue which then forces the cells to turnover and rejuvenate, creating a healing process that improves the skin texture and the puffiness under the eye, increasing collage production. Both are worthwhile treatments that can help in that pesky area. See client above. Botox was applied to her under eyes to help improve puffiness and fine lines/wrinkles. Natural Growth Factor Injections will help with the under eye area by adding back in your very own growth factors to increase collage production. Just imagine, your own body healing those pesky under eye “bags.” It is another great option when you are looking to help anti-age those eyes. Ready to look refreshed and treat those under eyes?

Maintaining that Youthful Appearance
Maintaining that Youthful Appearance We’ve all been told to stay out of the sun, wear sunscreen, drink water, use this product or that product. In reality, that’s just not reality. When it comes to keeping our skin young, there are things we HAVE to do, things we SHOULD do, and things that don’t really matter as much. What we HAVE to do The best way to insure a youthful appearance is making sure you are taking care of your skin, from the inside out. Drinking plenty of water, eating your fruits and veggies, abstaining from smoking and alcohol and staying active are all ways to help with this. Using a daily sunscreen is also the best anti-aging cream on the market. Sun damage is the sure way to cause wrinkles and fine lines, sun spots and a worsening of texture of the skin. Medical-grade skin care is honestly your best investment when it comes to preserving your skin. Think glowing skin. We love ALASTIN and iS CLINICAL when it comes to skincare because they are at the top of their respective grades for innovation and utilizing the most up to date research to come up with their products. Each of their products are formulated with you in mind, reaching every skin type and considering every person. ALASTIN is formulated with Tri-Hex technology that goes deep into the layers of skin to remove old collagen and elastin, then comes back in to increase cellular turnover to help your cells create new collagen and elastin.

They have a serum for every skin type that utilizes botanicals and extremozymes to enhance your skins appearance. Voted multiple years in a row for the best anti-aging product, iS CLINICAL gets the job done and the results are un-paralleled. Want to know our favorite skin care products? Click below. What you SHOULD do Facials, chemical peels and microneedling are offerings at AIYANA that provide you with the upper hand when it comes to the overall appearance of your skin. When you implement these treatments into your routine, you will no only have that glowing skin from within, but you will also have an increased opportunity for cellular turnover, decrease in fine lines/wrinkles and will be ahead of the game. We love the idea of implementing facials into your monthly routine. Chemical peels and microneedling are great for a series of 3 every 6 months to a year. This maintenance routine will help your skins appearance, focusing on texture, tone and collagen production Of course, doing invasive procedures more often and on a scheduled routine are always going to get you the greatest result. Also, you can’t go wrong with a little botox and fillers to help with those deep lines and volume loss. What doesn’t matter too much We hear all the time, “try this product it’ll change your skin, or do this remedy to help with anti-aging”. We are bombarded with so many different ways to achieve a youthful appearance, but all in all, what really matters is what we talked about above. The bottom line is, wash your face, use medical-grade skin care, drink lots of water, eat healthy, treat yourself to facials, peels and microneedling at least a handful of times per year. There is no magic cream, lotion, pill or anything like that. It’s all about consistency and getting on good products that will take you the furthest with your skin care goals. Recent Posts
5 Ways to Boost Collagen
5 Ways to Boost Collagen Collagen is a common protein found in the body. It is located in tendons, fat, and ligaments as well as other places in the body. It is important for bone structure and strength. When there is a healthy level of collagen int eh body, it presents with a youthful appearance. Another type of protein found in the body is elastin. It is found in arteries and lungs as it aids in contraction. Elastin has the ability to snap back into place and maintain its original shape. Elastin and collagen are both found in the skin. When your skin has adequate levels, it is stronger and therefore more youthful in appearance. One fascinating fact about collagen is its ability to have a domino effect in your body. The more collagen you have, the better able your body is to produce and maintain collage. Let’s dive in on how to boost collagen. Vitamin C Vitamin C is helps with the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which is known for its ability to speed up recovery and relieve painful joints. It is also the main component of dermal fillers that are used at AIYANA. Hyaluronic acid can help boost collagen product. It s naturally found in our bodies, but it does decrease as we age. Eating foods with high levels of vitamin C and amino acids can increase hyaluronic acid and collage in the body. This in turn is beneficial for our skin. Foods high in Vitamin C include broccoli, kale, strawberries, red peppers, and oranges. Check out iS CLINICAL Super Serum Advance, with Vitamin C. Algae Algae is from marine plants and it has been popular in beauty routines. The reason is due to the skin damage caused by oxidation, which can cause cellular damage. Algae can prevent oxidation from the environmental pollution. This in turn will help with collagen and elastin production in the skin. Our Hydrojelly masks at AIYANA are made from algae and will aid in this process. Book a facial treatment today to find out why we love our Hydrojelly masks! Antioxidants Antioxidants help protect the body from free radicals which can damage the cells. The job of most antioxidants is to protect the collagen cells that are present, not necessarily boost the collagen production. There are many different types of antioxidants in nature, most can be found in healthy, vitamin rich foods. iS CLINICAL serums also have antioxidants present that can be directly applied to the skin. Retinol Retinol is a type of antioxidant found in the skin. It can be applied topically as a great anti-aging product that actually boost collagen production. Collagen can increase the lifespan of collagen as well as protect the collagen that is already formed from the free-radicals. ALASTIN Renewal Retinol is a perfect product to add to every skincare routine. LED Red Light Therapy Red light therapy has been shown to increase collagen production and have anti-aging effects. After a facial resurfacing treatment, such as derma-planing, microneedling or microdermabrasion, applying red light can speed up recovery and increase cellular turnover for more collagen. At AIYANA, we love our Celluma Light Therapy just for this reason. Book your facial today and experience these amazing lights! Boosting collagen has a lot do do with skin care and diet. Making sure you are utilizing the tools that are available to get the most collagen production is imperative.

Anti-Aging & Men
Anti-Aging & Men At AIYANA, we love to treat our men, too. Signs of age in men are common and usually consist of scowl lines, lines around the eyes, or crows feet, enlarged pores, jowls, and an increase in oily skin. But, what about skincare, tone and texture? A lot of individuals, not just men, neglect that part of their health and when the 40s come along, it’s hard to catch up. Here are the details, just for men, to help with their anti-aging regimen and improve their skins health. Change Your Cleanser Game When it comes to cleansing your skin, a bar of soap might suffice for some men. It’s convenient, available and what you might be accustomed to. But, its not the best for your skin. I love what Dr. Colbert says about this topic. �You wouldn�t wash your favorite cashmere sweater in Tide detergent, would you?� he asks. �Think of your skin as a fabric�it�ll age like cashmere or a pair of jeans. It gets beaten up, threads get thin, and you get holes in the knees. It�s a living fabric.� Cleanser is the first step to creating an effective anti-aging regimen. Rinsing your face with warm water, then lathering up the cleanser in your hands and then rubbing it on your face to cleanse the area. Rinse with warm water. Use a hand towel to dry. Acne prone skin would be better off dried with paper towels due to the bacteria that is present on hand towels when only washed every 1-2 weeks. Our favorite cleanser is ALASTIN Gentle Cleanser ($45). Serums, Moisturizers & Anti-Aging Creams Our love for serums runs deep and that may have something to do with iS CLINICALs revolutionary serums. When a serum for everyone that is tailored for your skincare needs. Every client at AIYANA is on a serum and it is something we feel passionate about. Here are a few of our favorites.

This serum is one that can be used as a spot treatment or an all over facial serum, with anti-aging properties to help with fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and dry skin. Plus, it feels like a little facial in a bottle. Our favorite. Our must-have anti-aging cream is ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex, with its Tri-Hex Technology that is formulated to go into the cells of the skin and clean out the old collagen and elastin. After that process is complete, it this targets the cells to product more collagen and elastin. If there is 1 anti-aging product that is a must-have for our clients this is IT. You will notice improvement in the texture and tone of your skin within 2 weeks. It’s that incredible. Consider Anti-Aging Treatments When it comes to fine lines and wrinkles, non-invasive treatment at the spa are going to give you the quickest results, almost immediate. Don’t be afraid of getting a little Botox to reverse that permanent scowl line that you’ve been noticing more and more lately. Botox is a great treatment that will take care of those pesky lines and after a few treatments, they will disappear forever. What seems to be most concerning for men is the fear of anyone knowing that they actually have gotten Botox treatments. No one will know, unless you want to tell them. At AIYANA, we firmly believe in enhancing your natural contours, not changing your face. Plus, Botox is for softening lines, NOT adding volume. There will not be any distortion of your face, and our goal is to keep the masculine features you already possess. Plus, keeping movement in your face is the most natural way to approach Botox in men and that is always our goal. Other treatments to consider are facials, chemical peels, microneedling and even filler. But, let’s take it one step at a time. Schedule your consult today and we can come up with a customized anti-aging regimen just for you. Recent Posts
