About your visit
Of course you know all the dos and don’ts of attending a beauty services spa, but did you know that attending a medi-spa means the same small courtesies should be observed?
We want your visit to be as pleasurable as possible, so please read through this short list of requests before you attend your service appointment:
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment (so that you can enjoy a cup of tea and relax)
- Please call if you are running late so that we may reschedule your treatment.
- Cancellations require 24 hour notice for all treatments to avoid a charge of 50% of all treatments scheduled.
- As a courtesy to others, please ensure that mobile phones are set to vibrate only.
- We encourage you call us with any questions and concerns, no matter how trivial they may seem.
The Aging Face: The Jawline
As the years pass, a combination of laxity and gravity causes the facial underpinnings to weaken and the skin to sag. Contributing to the aging appearance is the loss of facial volume provided by underlying fat and connective tissues (collagen and elastin). Nowhere is this more visible than around the jawline, where the loss of volume and downwards movement of cheek fat cause jowling and sagging.
Many Afterglow clients have been thrilled by the “reversal” of these signs of aging, following the placement of injectable filler—usually Radiesse— in the jawline area. Radiesse has a firm quality that greatly enhances the contours of the jaw while adding needed volume.
If you think your jaw needs a little contouring, simply make an appointment to see Dr. Ebrahim. She will explain how she can lift the years from your jawline and keep it looking firm and taut, with regularly scheduled treatments.
A tip: Lightly apply a powder shadow in taupe or brown underneath the jawline to give the illusion of contour. Be sure to blend well!
