At Gifted Medspa in Cary, North Carolina, we believe in subtle transformations that help you look refreshed, not overdone. Our approach centers on understanding the unique architecture of the face and how each treatment can enhance your natural features. Today, we’re putting the spotlight on some of our most popular treatment options — each designed to bring out your best, most confident self. Keep reading to discover how we can help you achieve your goals!
Botox & Dysport: Your Favorite Wrinkle Relaxers
Remember when a frozen forehead was the telltale sign of Botox? Those days are long gone. Today’s neuromodulator treatments offer sophisticated solutions that preserve natural movement while smoothing away unwanted lines.
Botox remains the gold standard for treating dynamic wrinkles — those pesky lines created by repeated facial expressions. Our expert injectors strategically place small amounts of Botox to soften crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead creases while maintaining your natural expressions. Most patients see results within three to seven days that last for up to four months.
For those seeking even faster results, Dysport is an excellent alternative. It kicks in within two to three days (instead of three to seven) and spreads a little bit more beneath the skin, making it perfect for treating larger areas, like the forehead. It also tends to create a softer, “feathering” effect that some people prefer. Many of our patients love how Dysport helps them maintain natural movement while still achieving that smooth, refreshed appearance.
Lip Fillers: The Secret a Full, Beautiful Pout
Forget everything you’ve heard about “duck lips” or obvious, overdone filler. Modern lip enhancement techniques focus on creating natural-looking results, with just the right amount of volume to complement your facial features. Whether you’re looking to plump up a thinning pout or enhance your natural lip shape, we offer several specialized options.
Both Juvederm and Restylane offer lip fillers designed specifically for the unique movements and structure of the lips. These advanced formulas can:
- Restore lost volume in thinning lips
- Define the lip border and enhance Cupid’s bow shape
- Improve lip symmetry
- Add subtle hydration for a naturally plump appearance
Botox and Dysport can also be used to give the appearance of fuller lips using a treatment method that has been dubbed “the lip flip.” This technique works by relaxing the muscle above the upper lip, allowing the lip to roll or “flip” upward and appear larger than normal.
Dermal Fillers: Your Skin’s Support Team
After the age of 25, collagen and elastin — the essential proteins that keep our skin firm and plump — decline by about 1% each year, so areas that were once full and lifted begin to hollow and sag. This is where dermal fillers truly shine: they restore that vital support structure and volume that keeps us looking youthful.
Juvéderm fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that occurs naturally in the skin, to create smooth, natural-looking results. The collection includes specialized formulas for different areas of the face. From restoring volume to sunken cheeks to smoothing deep smile lines, these fillers integrate seamlessly with your tissues for results that can last for up to 18 months.
Restylane brings its own unique advantages to facial rejuvenation. These HA fillers are renowned for their precision, making them ideal for detailed work like lip augmentation or filling in undereye hollows. The results typically last six to 18 months, and certain Restylane products are specifically designed to maintain natural movement in expressive areas of the face.
Our Favorite Combinations
With fillers and Botox, 1 + 1 = 3. When artfully combined by a skilled injector, these treatments create math-defying results that go beyond what either could achieve alone. At Gifted Medspa, we understand exactly how these treatments work together to reveal and refresh your natural beauty. Here are some of our favorite combinations that our patients absolutely love.
The Liquid Facelift
We love pairing Botox in the upper face with strategic filler placement in the cheeks and jawline. This combination lifts and defines your features while softening expression lines. The result? A refreshed, more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
The Profile Perfector
For patients seeking better facial balance, we often combine chin filler with jawline enhancement. Adding a touch of Botox to the masseter (jaw) muscles creates harmony in the lower face, resulting in a beautifully defined profile that turns heads.
The Total Refresh
This combination begins with precisely placed Botox to open up the eye area and smooth away forehead lines. We then add dermal fillers to restore volume in the cheeks and midface, as well as around the mouth to soften perioral lines and nasolabial folds. This comprehensive approach creates a naturally rejuvenated look that has our patients feeling confident from every angle.
