My lips are disappearing! Can I have lip enhancement and still look natural instead of having big duck lips?

Together with Dr. Casas you will decide if your lip contour and size merely needs to be restored because of volume loss from aging or if your thin or disproportionately sized lips may benefit from natural enhancement with Restylane. As always it is best to consult with […]
Question: Does low level light therapy help grow hair back? I have seen some good results!
Answer: Dr. Casas’s partner, Dr. Josie Tenore from Turn Back Time medispa has been kind enough to answer this one! According to Dr. Tenore:

That said, the results are less reliable than those we get for hair reduction treatments. The stats on that is that 10% of patients do not respond, even if they are ‘good candidates’, meaning those […]

Question: What do you think would be the best way to make me look less haggard, saggy , wrinkly, and ‘caved in’?
