You may know someone who had a facelift, but have you heard about something called the liquid facelift? It’s a term used for a certain non-surgical treatment that can provide the benefits of a facelift without incisions, anesthesia or any downtime. Let’s cover the basics so you know why the liquid facelift has become a popular treatment for so many people.
What is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation. These dermal fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds, leaving you looking years younger in the process. Generally Botox injections and dermal filler injections such as Juvederm or Restyalne are used for liquid facelifts.
What can you expect with a Liquid Facelift?
During a liquid facelift, dermal fillers and Botox are used to add volume, lift, contour the midface.
These dermal fillers are then used to sculpt and refine the jawline, chin, add volume to lips and reduce wrinkles from the forehead with Botox.
The liquid facelift is highly customizable and four syringes or more of dermal fillers may be needed depending on the areas of your face you want to focus on.
It’s best to get a consultation at a reputable medspa with a certified medical injector who will create a liquid face lift plan for you.
The results of a liquid facelift can last anywhere between a year or two, depending on the dermal fillers used.
If you are looking into doing a liquid facelift or searching for a provider that does lip injections, jawline contouring, or would like to reduce wrinkles from your forehead with Botox and you live in or around the Bucks County, PA area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online, or give us a call at (267) 332-5567.
Tired of looking tired? Others feel the same, and far more than you’d think! If you dislike your under eye bags, under eye filler may provide a solution.
Why Get An Under Eye Filler Treatment?
“Dark circles” under your eyes, or “under-eye bags” are both umbrella terms that can describe a wide variety of under eye issues.
If you are self-conscious or struggle with the appearance of the skin under your eyes, you typically are not speaking generally about something that “bothers you a little”. Under eye dark circles can be blindly apparent.
With the stigma that comes with dark circles, not doing anything about them can really do some damage to your everyday confidence.
The stigma that has, and sadly will always, walk hand in hand with under eye bags, is exhaustion.
No matter how much information we are aware of, we will still find ourselves assuming the woman across the room with dark circles didn’t catch enough sleep the evening before.
Even though we are aware the causes of dark circles have nothing to do with our energy, without the best concealer makeup, we find ourselves being asked if we are sick, tired, or working too hard.
Basically, when it comes to under-eye bags, there is no limit to how much time and money we will spend exploring products, treatments and types of makeup to address the issue. It is exhausting work to not look exhausted.
Thanks for the irony of Mother Nature… always a jokester.
What Is An Under Eye Filler Treatment?
An under eye filler treatment is when hyaluronic acid is injected into targeted areas under the skin beneath the eye or tear trough in order to minimize hollows, dark circles, and to correct age related volume loss.
Is Under Eye Filler Treatment Safe?
The use of dermal fillers for tear troughs have been done “off label” by many practitioners over the years, but recently, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC was FDA approved for the improvement of infraorbital hollows.
With an under eye filler treatment with Juvederm Volbella for under eye bags, you won’t need to hide behind concealer any longer..
How Long Does Under Eye Filler Last?
You can expect the results to last for up to one year with Juvederm Volbella for the under eyes.
What Areas Can Be Injected With Under Eye Filler?
Tear troughs – Filler may be used to smooth out the curved line under your eyes that starts at the inside corner of the eye and runs down toward the cheek.
Under eye bags – Filler may be used to erase or soften any other fine lines and wrinkles underneath the eyes. The skin underneath the eye is very thin and prone to wrinkles.
How Much Is Under Eye Filler?
The treatment price can vary depending on how much under eye filler you will need which is established during your consultation, but typically can range between $800 – $1600.
Where Can I Get Under Eye Filler?
It’s important to find a reputable medical office or medical spa that offers FDA approved dermal fillers like Juvederm Volbella and that have a great reputation.
Always do your research about the practice on Google and read their reviews. And, if you live in Bucks County, PA and looking for a provider that specializes in under eye filler, contact us at (267) 332-5567 or fill out a form online here.

The Hydrafacial is quickly becoming one of the most sought after skin treatments available. With immediate effects and no downtime, it became obvious that this elite but affordable treatment was going to be a patient favorite. When is the perfect time to give this treatment a try? Right now, in the winter! Why? We are here to tell you!
THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION
We all know that staying hydrated is important to our overall health, because our bodies are made up of 70% water! What is the human body’s biggest organ? Believe it or not, it is the skin! Therefore, the skin stands to gain the most from hydration. That means, we not only need to drink enough water, but that external steps such as getting treatments like the Hydrafacial are also necessary in keeping our skin hydrated.
WHAT HAPPENS TO DEHYDRATED SKIN?
The outermost layer of the skin is responsible for flushing toxins and carrying nutrients to skin cells. Without the proper amount of moisture to do so, dead cells remain on the skin to clog pores and create uneven texture, and healthy cells become thinner, resulting in low elasticity and more wrinkles. Dehydrated skin can not only be visually unappealing, but it can have fairly uncomfortable and sometimes painful effects. Not taking the extra steps to treat our skin to some well deserved moisture can lead to cracked and even bleeding skin.
COLD WEATHER AND DRY SKIN
Chillier temperatures combined with lower humidity levels is a recipe for dry air, which can draw moisture directly from your skin. Even with avoiding the cold, harsh, winter winds outside, your skin is subjected to the dry elements of winter with indoor heat. Not only that, but our pores will contract in cold temperatures to preserve warmth, limiting the ability for oxygen to reach skin cells and help them regenerate.
BUT DOESN’T DRY SKIN MEAN LESS BREAKOUTS?
This is probably the biggest and most commonly believed myths regarding the skin. People often mistake drier skin, to less oily skin. However, when skin becomes dry, it actually reacts by over producing natural oils to compensate for the lack of moisture. These oils sit on the skin and form blemishes. Without excess moisture to form new and healthy skin cells, dead cells will camp out on the face and clog pores. Excess dead skin paired with excess oils can result in a full on break out!
MASKNE IN THE WINTER
Unfortunately, many of us are all too familiar with the term “Maskne”. Acne caused while wearing a face mask, aka “Maskne”, happens when our pores become clogged as a result of friction from certain materials, alongside heat and humidity under our masks. Exfoliation is key in preventing breakouts, but the ingredients found in at-home exfoliants, such as acids and retinol, have the ability to dry skin out. With our skin already susceptible to being parched and flaky in the winter, this is hardly ideal.
WHY THE HYDRAFACIAL IS THE SOLUTION
The common factor in all winter skin problems is a lack of hydration. Facials have obvious benefits for all skin types throughout the entirety of the year which includes the removal of dead skin cells, the cleansing of clogged pores and the relaxation of facial muscles. The Hydrafacial, however, uses a tool that makes extracting dead skin and ‘gunk’ non-invasive, and that manually infuses your skins special serum, which is customized based on your skins specific needs. This means, that your skin becomes more hydrated than it would with a regular facial, and during a time when it needs it the most. That means you can schedule your treatment regardless of any holiday commitments!
If you are looking to have an amazing Hydrafacial done in the Bucks County and surrounding area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspaonline or by contacting our office at (267) 332-5567.

Did you know that nine out of 10 adult women suffer from cellulite?
Having cellulite is one of the most frustrating things about being a woman, and there has never been anything we could do about it – until now.
There is finally a cellulite injection treatment available for women that has been shown to treat and reduce the appearance and severity of cellulite.
First off, what is cellulite?
It is commonly thought that cellulite is solely caused by fat, and that losing weight is essentially the only solution to reducing its appearance. However, this is not the case. As women age, the skin gets thinner, fat cells get larger, and the fibrous bands that are underneath the skin’s surface get thicker and cause tension — all of which cause that dimpled appearance in certain areas of the body, especially on the butt.
Women are more likely to have cellulite than men, and it affects those of all shapes, sizes, ages, races and ethnicities. Women are more prone to developing cellulite because they have thinner skin than men, more fatty deposits in the thigh and buttock areas, as well as different orientation of the collagen and fibrous bands. Essentially, women’s bodies are more prone to having the ability of fat lobules to bulge through the areas of the body that have more fatty deposits, most commonly the thigh and buttock areas.
Introducing the first-ever cellulite injection treatment called QWO
For the first time, we are ready to say hello to QWO and goodbye to dimples and cellulite.
Pronounced like “whoa” (insert Joey Tribbiani reference here), QWO is the first treatment of its kind, specifically for adult women.
QWO is the first and only FDA-approved cellulite injectable for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in women’s buttocks.
How does QWO work?
QWO is made from enzymes called collagenases. These enzymes are thought to treat dimpled areas by targeting the bands and other structural causes under the skin where the cellulite starts. Essentially, the injection is thought to break down fibrous bands and old collagen particles, redistribute fat cells, and stimulate the growth of new collagen. This results in a smoother surface to the skin, with the possibility of eliminating dimples in the treatment area.
How many QWO treatments will you need?
QWO is a non-surgical cellulite injection administered in a doctor’s office. Patients should have three treatment visits with 21 days in between each QWO cellulite injection treatment.
How much time is needed for a QWO treatment?
This minimally-invasive procedure is appealing as it is, but to make it even better, the lunch break procedure only takes about 10 minutes or less, and there is no downtime — so no need to take off of work, and in just 2 months you will have improved and smoothed out your cellulite.
Is there downtime with QWO?
Bruising is to be expected and possible redness at the injection site, but nothing is unbearable following the treatment, and you can return to your day as normal.
Women have been eager for a cellulite treatment for a while now, and QWO is an exciting new treatment.
It looks like we can finally stop wasting money on topicals, scrubs and other products that claim to reduce cellulite (when they do nothing in reality).
Just in time for wearing a bathing suit on the beach this summer, we are ready to say “whoa” to QWO!
Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, Webex, Teams… whatever platform you’ve been using to stay connected, video conferencing has become the new normal for working, socializing and staying in touch with others remotely.
In this new virtual way of life, we seem to be constantly on screen.
While you may not have to leave your house to attend work meetings or talk with family or friends anymore, you might be feeling the need to improve your appearance on camera.
Are your forehead wrinkles the only thing you see during your video call?
Are your “11” lines making you look angry?
Maybe you hate seeing your double chin, or the fact that you always look tired, even if you have makeup on.
Do you wish there was a way to get rid of those unwanted lines, hollow cheeks, or extra layer of quarantine fat without any surgery or downtime?
Your wish might not be too far out of reach with the right medical spa treatments.
There are multiple non-surgical medspa treatments available now that do not require any days off from work and have very little to no downtime.
These highly coveted treatments are FDA approved and have helped millions around the world feel more comfortable in their own skin, especially when on camera all day.
You can feel more confident during your next video conference without anyone knowing that you had work done, and you don’t have to miss a beat.
Let’s dive into some areas you may be wanting to improve or enhance:
Medspa Treatment for Loss of Volume
Need a lift? Juvederm Voluma is a dermal filler that can help improve volume loss in the mid-face, cheek and eye area for a more youthful appearance.
This medspa treatment can help contour the face, create more defined cheekbones, lift any sunken areas of the face, and brighten up tired-looking eyes for an improved, fresh-faced appearance both on and off the screen.
Medspa Treatment for Wrinkles and Folds
Tired of obsessing over the defined lines around your mouth?
These fillers improve the appearance of laugh lines, the wrinkles from your nose to the corners of the mouth, and can add volume to your lips.
Medspa Treatment for Forehead Wrinkles and “11” Lines
Feeling like you look a little angry?
That couple of prominent lines in between your eyebrows might be why.
Botox is a popular medspa treatment that can reduce and prevent wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes to get rid of those stubborn lines, wrinkles and even crow’s feet.
Coolsculpting can fix your double chin with its innovative, nonsurgical fat reduction technology.
It can improve the appearance and reduce the fat under your chin so you can focus more on your important meeting and not on adjusting your webcam.
The best part about all of the medspa treatments mentioned above is that they all take no longer than your lunch break, there is no surgery required, they have almost instant results, and they have little to no downtime afterwards.
These quick, non-invasive procedures can improve the way you look and boost your confidence both on and off screen, so you don’t feel like you need to turn off your camera again.
Feel more comfortable on your Teams meetings and Zoom happy hours so you can focus less on your insecurities and be more present.
There is no denying that laser hair removal treatments will help you get rid of unwanted hair on your legs, arms, bikini area, face, chest and back.
While laser hair removal can be done at any time of year, the winter season is the best time to begin.
Here are three benefits to starting laser hair removal in the winter.
If you begin laser hair removal in the winter, by the time the warm weather arrives you will have reached optimum results.
During the winter, there is less chance your skin will be exposed to the sun. When getting laser hair removal, it is not recommended to have treatments done on skin with active sun exposure or sunburn.
After treatment, you need to keep the targeted areas of your body out of sunlight. It is easier to do so in the winter because you will most likely be wearing more clothing.
Since hair has three main growing stages and laser hair removal is achieved during the first growth stage, at least 6 treatments are recommended to get you the best results.
So, if you begin your treatments in January, you will practically be hair free by June.
It’s important to be consistent in scheduling your appointments every four to eight weeks.
Your diligence and patience will be rewarded by the time you wear that first official spring or summer outfit.
Waxing and shaving will be a thing of the past with our laser hair removal treatments.
If you live in or near Bucks County, PA and would like to learn more about the benefits of having laser hair removal done at our Medspa, please call us at schedule a free consultation online.
3 Areas Botox Injections Can Treat That Will Surprise You: Lips, Masseters and Neck.
We already know Botox is used to combat wrinkles on the face, but you might not know that Botox can treat the lips, masseters and neck areas too?
Here are three Botox treatments to help you look young and beautiful.
Lip Flip: Enhance the natural shape of your lip with Botox.
The Lip Flip is an excellent choice for those looking to achieve a more voluminous pout.
How does a Lip Flip work?
Botox injections into the orbicularis oris muscle around the mouth relax the upper lip muscles causing the lip to flip slightly upward, making the upper lip plumper and more visible.
A Lip Flip is especially good for someone who has an upper lip that disappears when they smile.
It will also cover exposed gums caused by smiling.
The rolled-out upper lip creates more volume and a beautiful smile.
Lip Flip Botox injections last three to four months and should only be performed by a highly trained and licensed Physician, Physician Assistant, or Registered Nurse.
You are a good candidate for Lip Flip if:
You are looking for a voluminous pout.
You want fuller lips without lip fillers.
Your upper lip disappears when you smile.
You have a gummy smile.
You want to enhance your natural lip shape.
MassetersBotox Treatment: Reshape your jawline with this minimally invasive treatment.
Your jawline is a prominent feature.
It can affect the overall appearance of your face.
Masseters Botox treatment can reshape and slim down your jawline.
As we age, the masseters muscles along the jawline expand.
We use the masseter muscle to chew and clench or grind our teeth.
Like any muscle, the more we use it, the bigger it gets.
Over time the masseter muscles become enlarged.
The expanded muscles can cause an oval shape jawline to become square.
For some, a wider-looking face or profound asymmetric jawline is genetic.
Regardless of the cause, a Masseter Botox treatment will define and contour the jawline.
The results is a more youthful and softer appearance.
How does a Masseters Botox treatment work?
The Botox injections help to relax the masseter muscles.
Once the muscles are in a relaxed state, they no longer need to work as hard.
After treatment, you can chew and move your jaw as usual without overworking the masseter muscles.
The decrease in pressure on the masseter muscles will prevent them from growing and allow them to reduce in size.
The slimmed-down appearance can last three to six months.
You are a good candidate for Masseters Botox treatment if you:
Have a wide or square jawline.
Grind or clench your teeth.
Have an asymmetric jaw line.
Tech Neck Wrinkles: Lines and Wrinkles that form on the neck.
Botox injections can prevent and correct lines and wrinkles on the neck.
A Botox treatment in the neck will relax the platysma muscle and thus will reduce lines and wrinkles that form on the neck.
How do people get “Tech Neck”?
Tech Neck occurs over time as we age.
Other factors that contribute to wrinkles on the neck are extreme weight loss, sun damage, excessive strain on the neck muscle, poor skincare, and genetics.
Botox injections are used to prevent Tech Neck or correct already developed fine lines and wrinkles.
A Botox treatment on the neck can correct:
Tech Neck.
Sagging neck.
Loss of collagen in the neck.
A Lip Flip, Masseters Botox treatment, and Botox neck injections are three ways to help you improve your appearance and look like your younger self.
“Bacne” and back acne scarring are among the many new sought after treatments in the skin care field.
Whether you experience active acne or acne scarring on the back, or both, there are solutions out there that have worked wonders with clearing up the skin and improve hyperpigmentation.
The VI Peel is a gentle but powerful medical grade chemical peel that can be be customized with boosters to treat many different skin care concerns from hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture, wrinkles, acne, and bacne.
This aesthetic procedure can be performed on the face, neck, chest and back.
It’s extremely effective in treating “bacne” and back acne scars.
The VI peel works by creating micro-damage to the skin’s top layer, causing peeling which in turns stimulates new tissue growth, shedding off old unhealthy skin and bringing out new healthy skin.
Because of the thicker skin on the back, peeling starts around day 7 and can last 4-7 days.
Due to the longer peeling duration, back peels should be done every 6-8 weeks and a series of 2-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Microneedling For Back Acne
Microneedling is a great treatment option for back acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, minimizing pore size and fine lines and wrinkles.
It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles to stimulate an immune response from the body to produce new collagen and elastin to heal the injured areas leaving the skin rejuvenated and corrected of inconsistencies.
Healing time takes about 5-7 days with minimal down time and a series of 3 is recommended for optimal results.
Minor side effects should be expected after this treatment, such as redness, bruising or inflammation, but usually clear up in a few days
Hydrafacial For The Back
The Clarifying Hydrafacial is another treatment option for “Bacne” and can be done in conjunction with either the VI Peel or Microneedling.
This treatment uses a combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and Blue LED light therapy to target bacteria, decongest the skin and control oil production.
First, the back is deeply cleansed, softening the sebum to aid in extractions and remove any impurities.
With a vortex tip, the skin is exfoliated with a gentle glycolic and salicylic acid peel.
Afterwards comes extractions, followed by hydrating the skin with hyaluronic acid, detoxifying antioxidants, and firming peptides for deep moisturization and hydration.
The HydraFacial treatment for the back leaves skin looking healthy and hydrated.
Monthly treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Acne and acne scarring on the face and the body can be extremely frustrating and leave you feeling self-conscious.
With the help of a physician and medical aesthetician, they can customize a treatment plan to get your back acne under control and help you start feeling your best.
To find out if you are a viable candidate for any of these treatments, it’s best to start with a consultation.
