A consultation with a dermatologist-trained provider maps your facial-balancing plan and confirms candidacy.
Harmony across the whole face.
Facial balancing treats the face as one connected structure. Instead of one area, a dermatologist-trained provider maps how the cheeks, chin, jaw, lips, and nose relate, then adds HA filler where it improves overall proportion, profile, and symmetry.
The result is subtle, you look more balanced and refreshed, not done. It is planned conservatively and staged over visits when needed. HA filler can be dissolved if you ever want to adjust.

How to prep for facial balancing
Facial balancing may treat several areas in one visit, so pausing blood thinners (ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 48 hours and alcohol for 24 hours helps limit bruising overall. Arrive with clean skin and bring photos of looks you like.
• Pause blood thinners ~48h before
• No alcohol 24h prior
• Clean skin, no makeup
• Bring reference photos
• Plan a light social schedule after
