Botox is a sophisticated neuromodulator that, when skillfully injected with an ultra-fine needle, works by gently relaxing targeted facial muscles. These muscles, when contracted repeatedly, cause the expression lines and wrinkles you might notice. By temporarily easing muscle movement, Botox smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a naturally refreshed look. You'll begin to see the beautifully subtle effects gradually take hold within 3-10days after your treatment.
Botox offers versatile benefits, addressing lines and wrinkles across various facial areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows (11’s), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). It can also be used in the lower face to soften chin dimpling and lift the corners of the mouth. Additionally, Botox can relax platysmal bands in the neck, creating a more youthful appearance. Beyond aesthetics, Botox is also a powerful solution for relieving jaw tension, managing migraines, and reducing excessive sweating in areas like the scalp, hands, feet, and underarms.
On the day of your appointment, we prioritize your comfort by applying topical numbing cream, and if needed, a local anesthetic. After the treatment, you can immediately resume your day, although we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours. To minimize swelling, sleep with your head elevated and apply ice to the treated areas for short periods. Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your experience.
A Botox treatment is swift and comes with minimal discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch followed by a brief sting. No anesthesia or downtime is required, though we can offer topical numbing for an additional cost if desired. Many clients find the process so convenient that they schedule it during their lunch break, returning to their daily activities immediately after.
While each person’s experience is unique, most clients begin to notice the softening effects of Botox within 3-5 days, with maximum results appearing in about two weeks. The transformation is subtle yet significant, enhancing your natural beauty over time.
The effects of Botox typically last between 2-4 months. As your body gradually metabolizes the treatment, muscle movement will slowly return. To maintain your smooth, youthful appearance, you may opt for periodic maintenance treatments every few months, ensuring long-lasting results.
There’s no “right” age to start Botox—your unique skin and goals guide the decision. Our certified injection specialists will carefully assess your needs and craft a personalized plan just for you. Many individuals, particularly millennials, begin using Botox in their twenties to prevent deep lines from forming, often with smaller doses known as “baby Botox.”
Yes, Botox has been a trusted cosmetic treatment for over 20 years and is FDA-approved for addressing facial lines and wrinkles. However, it’s not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions. Before your treatment, one of our physicians will thoroughly review your health history to ensure Botox is a safe and suitable option for you.
To reduce the risk of bruising, consider pausing the use of alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements like Gingko Biloba, fish oil, or Ginseng about a week before your treatment. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Side effects from a Botox treatment are generally mild and may include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects typically resolve on their own within a few days to a week, leaving you to enjoy your refreshed and rejuvenated look.
The SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device, celebrated for its ability to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars in adults aged 22 and up. With just three non-invasive treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can enjoy noticeable improvements that last up to six months, empowering you to step out with renewed confidence.
SkinPen works by creating hundreds to thousands of precise micro-punctures in your skin per second. This process stimulates your skin’s natural healing response, guiding it through phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling to encourage tissue renewal without forming scar tissue. Most clients can return to their regular activities within 24 hours, making this an efficient and effective solution for rejuvenating your skin.
To ensure your comfort, we apply a potent compounded numbing cream before each microneedling session. During the procedure, most clients report feeling only a gentle vibration. Once the numbing effect wears off, your skin may feel mildly sunburned and slightly itchy—sensations that typically fade quickly.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is an excellent addition to your microneedling treatment, enhancing your results naturally. Derived from your own blood, PRP is rich in growth factors that can be applied topically or injected into areas of volume loss or scarring. Think of PRP as a nourishing boost that accelerates the production of new collagen and elastin, amplifying the rejuvenating effects of your treatment.
While microneedling with SkinPen is safe and effective for many, it’s not suitable for everyone. Those with active skin cancer, open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s) should avoid this procedure. It’s also not recommended for individuals with allergies to stainless steel or anesthetics, those with bleeding disorders, pregnant or nursing individuals, or those currently taking isotretinoin (such as Accutane). Your safety is our top priority, so we’ll thoroughly review your health history before proceeding with treatment.
Absolutely. The SkinPen is meticulously designed with safety in mind, featuring a patent-pending, single-use sterile needle cartridge and a proprietary BioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent cross-contamination between procedures. You can trust that your treatment is performed with the highest standards of care.
Our selection of dermal fillers, including Juvéderm® XC, Juvéderm Voluma® XC, Restylane®, Restylane Lyft®, Restylane Kysse®, and Restylane Silk®, is crafted from a clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel composed of hyaluronic acid (HA)—a naturally occurring substance in the skin. This HA gel is gently injected using a fine needle or cannula, restoring volume and enhancing your natural beauty with precision and care.
To ensure the best possible outcome, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, Motrin, and Aleve, for up to a week before your dermal filler appointment. Herbal supplements like garlic, vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Omega-3 capsules should also be avoided. We also advise refraining from alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment. Some clients opt to take Arnica, a natural anti-inflammatory, prior to their appointment to help minimize swelling and bruising.
Your comfort is our priority on the day of your appointment. We’ll apply a topical numbing cream, and if needed, a local anesthetic to ensure a smooth experience. After your treatment, you can resume your normal activities, though we suggest avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. To reduce any swelling, sleep with your head elevated and apply ice to the treated areas for brief periods throughout the day. Our goal is to make sure you feel at ease and cared for every step of the way.
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the product used, with results lasting anywhere from 9 months to 2 years. Because each filler differs in molecule size, consistency, and composition, we will recommend the best option based on your individual needs and the areas you wish to treat. Filler is priced per syringe, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your unique goals.
We exclusively use premium brands like Juvéderm® XC, Juvéderm Voluma® XC, Restylane®, Restylane Lyft®, Restylane Kysse®, and Restylane Silk® to achieve your desired outcomes. The specific brand of filler will be selected based on a thorough examination of your goals and skin needs, ensuring the best possible results.
We offer same-day consultations and filler appointments for your convenience. However, please be mindful that some swelling and bruising can occur post-treatment. To allow ample time for healing and any necessary follow-ups, we suggest scheduling your filler appointments a few weeks before any important events.

A PDO thread lift is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment that allows us to achieve the effects of a facelift using dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO). During the procedure, these sutures are skillfully inserted into key points on your face. The threads are designed with tiny barbs that anchor beneath your skin, allowing us to gently lift and tighten your skin, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result is a naturally refreshed and more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.
Dr. Sandhu utilizes NovaThreads because they deliver both immediate and lasting results. When the threads are inserted, they instantly lift and firm sagging or wrinkled skin. But the benefits don’t stop there—NovaThreads also stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and supple. As the threads gradually dissolve, your skin continues to rejuvenate itself, ensuring long-lasting results that enhance your natural beauty.
If you have never undergone a surgical facelift and do not have a history of adverse reactions to facial injections, you are likely an excellent candidate for a NovaThread lift. Dr. Sandhu will carefully review your medical history and discuss any medications you are taking to ensure that this treatment is right for you.
NovaThreads use polydioxanone (PDO) sutures, which are widely regarded as safe for surgical use. These barbed PDO sutures provide a secure and effective way to achieve a facial lift without the risks associated with more invasive procedures. However, if you have experienced issues with dissolvable sutures not fully dissolving or have had a negative reaction to PDO sutures in the past, it’s important to discuss these concerns with Dr. Sandhu to determine if a PDO lift is the best option for you.
The results of a PDO thread lift are temporary, typically lasting between one and three years. As the sutures dissolve, you can opt for a repeat procedure to maintain your rejuvenated appearance. Additionally, the boost in collagen and elastin production initiated by the NovaThreads will continue to enhance your skin’s texture and firmness, leading to a naturally youthful glow that lasts well beyond the initial treatment.
As the first—and original—injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra helps restore facial skin structure, which may provide long-lasting skin improvement.
On average, you will have 2 to 3 treatment sessions over the course of a few months. The number of injections at each session will vary based on the treatment plan determined by you and your aesthetic professional.
Most clinical study participants saw results as soon as 1 month, with sustained results for up to 2 years. Typical treatment is 3 sessions spaced at least 3 to 4 weeks apart.
Sculptra is used to correct shallow-to-deep wrinkles and folds on the face. Sculptra is clinically approved for:
There are several factors that figure into how much treatment will cost, including:
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for the treatment of fat outside of the submental area or in children under 18 years of age.
You may see results after one treatment, but most patients need at least two treatments to see a difference. Most patients achieve their desired results after three or four treatments.
Kybella is considered permanent because it destroys fat cells, so they can no longer store fat. However, normal aging changes in the neck will still occur.
The most common side effects of KYBELLA® include swelling, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.
EZ-PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural and innovative treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to isolate platelet-rich fibrin, and then applied or injected into areas needing rejuvenation. The fibrin acts as a scaffold to release growth factors and stimulate collagen production over time, improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
EZ-PRF is versatile and can address a range of concerns, including:
While both PRF and PRP are derived from your blood, PRF is processed without anticoagulants or additives, resulting in a higher concentration of growth factors and a slower release over time. This makes PRF more effective for longer-lasting and natural results. Additionally, PRF contains white blood cells and stem cells, enhancing its regenerative properties compared to PRP.
EZ Gel is a natural, filler made from your own blood. It is created by combining Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) with a heating and cooling process to form a gel-like consistency. EZ Gel is used to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance skin texture in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, and under-eyes.
Results from EZ Gel treatments typically last 9-12 months, depending on the individual and the treated area.
Since EZ Gel is bio-stimulating, it continues to improve skin quality over time by promoting collagen production and natural tissue regeneration.
Yes, EZ Gel is extremely safe because it is 100% autologous, meaning it is made entirely from your own blood without synthetic additives or chemicals. This minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or complications and ensures a natural, biocompatible result.
