    Comprehensive Procedure Guide

    Overview

    Precision neuromodulators (Botox®, Dysport®) and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (Juvéderm®, Restylane®) offer highly effective, customizable facial rejuvenation without surgical downtime. Neuromodulators relax hyperactive facial mimic muscles that cause forehead furrows, frown lines ('11s'), and crow's feet. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers gently replenish lost structural volume in the cheeks, temples, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lips. Administered personally by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Garrett Ni, each injection is guided by deep anatomical mastery for subtle, elegant results.

    Who It Is For

    Women and men seeking to smooth dynamic wrinkles, restore youthful cheek or lip volume, correct under-eye shadows, or soften early signs of facial aging with immediate return to work and social activities.

    Key Anatomical Zones

    Physician-Only Administration

    Every treatment is performed personally by double board-certified facial surgeon Dr. Garrett Ni, never delegated to nurses or technicians.

    Deep Periosteal Placement

    Fillers are placed against deep facial bone foundations to lift and support soft tissues without looking puffy or unnatural.

    Micro-Cannula Safety

    Blunt-tipped micro-cannulas glide around delicate blood vessels, dramatically minimizing bruising, swelling, and vascular risks.

    Natural Dynamic Movement

    Micro-dosing techniques preserve natural brow elevation and warm smiling expressions—never frozen or over-injected.

    Surgical Philosophy

    Dr. Ni’s Approach

    Dr. Ni practices a 'less is more' injection philosophy. By placing micro-doses directly into targeted muscle groups and deep periosteal planes, he softens unwanted lines and replaces lost volume while preserving full natural facial expressions. You look refreshed and glowing—never 'frozen' or overfilled.

    Surgical & Anatomical Technique

    Using high-definition anatomical assessment, Dr. Ni analyzes your dynamic facial expressions at rest and in motion. Skin is prepped with topical numbing. Injections utilize ultra-fine 32-gauge needles for Botox and flexible blunt micro-cannulas for fillers, ensuring virtually painless delivery and pristine accuracy.
