Hello there! Many of you know me already as the director of the Aesthetic Center of Murfreesboro (ACoM). Ten years ago, I started my practice, and it’s given me a more fun and rewarding career than I ever could have asked for.

Everyone wants to look their best. Men and women alike want to look younger, healthier, and better. So why would anyone be surprised to learn that cosmetic procedures are increasingly popular for men? In fact, the ASPS annual statistics for 2016 showed...

The other day, we had a visit from a friend of ours, Gina. She was dropping in for a routine dermal filler touch-up. While we were chatting, Gina mentioned her concern at seeing more jowling, sagging, and fullness under her chin.

Recently, I stumbled across an article dealing with a common complaint about dermal fillers. The complaint is a simple one: these products don’t last as long as they should.

It’s time to talk lips! My industry as a whole has seen an increase in clients requesting lip filler treatments in recent years. Thanks to social media and pop culture icons with luscious lips, we are seeing younger and younger clients coming in.

We’ve all seen them. You know, the women with the fabulous, glowing skin? Whether the culprit is J-Lo or an old friend from college, she must have a secret to making their skin look so amazing. Is it her DNA? Was she just born lucky? Yes and no.

A few weeks ago, multiple clients all asked if I had lost weight. I hadn’t, and at first I couldn’t figure it out. Then, a lightbulb went off: Kybella!

I held onto my part-time nurse practitioner position at a family practice for too long, and now that some time has passed, I better understand why.

Last week, I saw a client named Judy. She has been a loyal client, and over the years, she has told me about her husband and her children, about fun stuff like upcoming vacations and about much heavier stuff like her health issues.

The question we get most often is “Where should I start?” Then, our clients typically ask, “What exactly is Botox?” And then, “Does it actually work?” (Spoiler alert: It really does work. It is amazing, in fact.)
