“A strong woman looks a challenge dead in the eye and gives it a wink.” The challenging part about my job is not to make you look beautiful…it’s showing you how beautiful you are already. 💙

MAINTENANCE is the name of the game….The best way to get quality results is to get regular treatments with the same person. Whether it’s your hair, nails, lashes, personal trainer, or injectables- making scheduled appointments helps get you the best result

Number one question I get asked is - what do I do to keep my skin healthy? Here it is

Skin care regimen daily and nightly

In office treatments:
#Botox/ #Dysport every 3 months
#Fillers - as needed
Neo by #Aerolase - every 2-3 months as needed

“I can’t make you look like another person…” I say this line at least once a week and there are usually two reasons why:

Bottom line: You should leave the office feeling like the best version of YOURSELF. Period.

Anyone else holding onto those last days of summer? As always, reminder to wear sunscreen on your face every single day to protect that gorgeous skin and keep it glowing all year long. I’ve been loving my tinted oil-free sunscreen this summer to combat the humidity.

💉 #Botox relaxes muscles to #prevent creases in the skin before they become permanent.
💉 #Dermalfillers are used to replace volume loss and improve the appearance of creases that are already settled.
They should ideally be used in conjunction to achieve optimal results.

💛 I HEAR YOU 💛 When you sit in my chair, I listen to your goals for your skin and for your treatments. I listen to your concerns and then add in my knowledge and expertise. I might bring some ideas to the table too. Bottom line -we are a team.

You know what’s sexy? 💓CONFIDENCE💓 Having glowing skin gives me the best confidence boost. Admittedly, it takes time and effort to keep my skin healthy. Quality skincare and regular in-office treatments are a great way to get and maintain your glowing skin.

When #cosmetic treatments are done right, your friends and family will not notice the treatment, but the overall refreshed effect when your lines are relaxed and proportions are balanced. You’ll get compliments about everything EXCEPT the areas treated!

[Caroline Chang, MD @drcarolinechang]

Cozy nights in means focusing on my night time skincare regimen. A absolute staple each night is #retinol. Retinol is a form of vitamin A. Think of it as a daily vitamin for your skin. Start slow and work your way to nightly applications.

☀️ #SUNSCREEN 101: Physical sunscreens (containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide) reflect UV radiation.  Chemical sunscreens (containing oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate) absorb UV radiation.

This gorgeous spring weather is a great reminder of why you should wear sunscreen every single day. The sunny weather creeps up and on that first randomly gorgeous day you decide to take your lunch outside but forget to wear sunscreen. Keep your skin protected with daily #SPF!
