Some of our best days are breast days. 🍒
The goal was to revise and create a more supported, balanced shape while addressing an implant that had fallen below its ideal position.
Can you tell from her results, the more centered appearance and improved symmetry/proportion? Most importantly, we have a patient that feels confident and loves her results from @dr.lee_htx.
⏱️ In-office surgical consultation required
💉 Performed under general anesthesia
📆 Recovery plan tailored to procedure’s complexity and patient’s goals

‼️ NOW at NUVEAU: Regenerative Peptide Program ‼️
We’re excited to introduce Nuveau’s new Regenerative Peptide Program, expanding The Foundation Method by Erica beyond aesthetics with a more comprehensive approach to how you feel, function and age from within.
Led by Erica Carini, RN — @thefoundationmethodbyerica— the program brings together more than 15 years of nursing experience, her clinical background, and her extensive experience in aesthetic medicine. Erica’s understanding of the age-related changes of the face and body has shaped The Foundation Method from the beginning, and this next chapter allows her to care for patients beyond what we see on the surface.
Our regenerative peptide program may support goals including healthy aging and longevity, metabolism and body composition, energy and cognitive wellness, performance and recovery, gut health and overall well-being.
Medical weight management options, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, are also available for appropriate candidates.

Suncare, but make it skincare. ☀️ Fall may be right around the corner, but the Houston sun isn’t going anywhere just yet. And while SPF is a year-round essential, we love one that does a little more.
Meet the new @alastinskincare SilkShield Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. Lightweight, sheer and powered by TriHex Technology, it helps protect against UVA/UVB rays while supporting the skin’s natural production of healthy collagen and elastin.
Daily sun protection + regenerative skincare in one easy step. 🤍 Comment SPF to learn more!
Kinda chic to skip the pain and see visible improvement right after… 🪄
It’s not magic - XERF uses advanced radiofrequency technology to tighten and lift the skin while stimulating collagen for results that are immediately noticeable.
Sit back, relax, and let’s XERF.

An update to our scheduling policy.
We look forward to seeing you in the office soon!
XERF delivers radiofrequency energy at multiple depths to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping tighten loose skin, improve texture, and restore a smoother, firmer appearance.
These are @luxeskinbymari’s patient’s results after just one treatment. Although visible improvement can often be seen after a single session, we generally recommend a series of two treatments for optimal skin tightening. Every treatment plan is customized based on our patients’ anatomy, skin quality, and desired results.
💆 Comfortable treatment with no anesthesia or numbing required
📆 No downtime - leave the office and resume your day
💬 Bilingual consultations available [English, Spanish]

Some days you’re the surgeon, some days you’re the patient. And on this day in particular, @dr.lee_htx is both.
He chose a painless, no downtime skin tightening procedure… and if you’ve been here for a bit, we bet you know which one it is. 😉

A more comfortable treatment experience changes everything.
Pronox helps patients relax during procedures like hair exosome injections, so the focus stays on the results, not the nerves. And when they see new hair growth, that brings the real happiness. 😌
We have something exciting coming in August for National Hair Loss Awareness month… stay tuned!

This image was captured immediately after @laserexperthouston completed one XERF treatment on the patient’s right side of the face (our left). XERF delivers comfortable RF energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen, improve firmness, and create a natural-looking lift painlessly. Even before treating the other side, you can already see improved skin tightness, a more lifted appearance, and smoother texture.
This is the patient’s first XERF treatment. We recommend two treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

The wait is ALMOST over. ✨
After a sold out spring, one of Alastin’s most-loved products is making its way back to our shelves. Gentle enough for sensitive skin and effective enough to become a daily staple - it’s no surprise this cleanser has earned such a loyal following and many 5-star reviews.
We’ll have limited quantities available, so if you’d like us to set one aside for you, call us or DM to reserve yours.

An arm lift can create a dramatic improvement in contour, but one of the hesitations patients have when deciding if this procedure is right for them, is about the scar along the inside of the arm.
The good news is that healing doesn’t stop after surgery. With UltraClear laser, we can help soften the appearance of surgical scars by resurfacing the skin and encouraging healthier collagen remodeling. During treatment, the laser precisely targets the scar tissue to help it heal more smoothly over time.
For most patients, we recommend a series of 3–6 UltraClear treatments depending on the thickness and maturity of the scar. Treatments are well tolerated, require minimal downtime, and can make a meaningful difference in the overall appearance of the scar.
