When you come to Marina Lifestyle Medicine and Holistic Aesthetics you are going to leave looking amazing! It may take just one or several sessions to achieve a refreshed and natural look and bring out your best features. Marina and her team are known for taking a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. Our skin reflects our life. Beauty is more than skin deep. Certain aspects of how we age cannot be altered or changed; however, many can. Therefore, the earlier we begin taking care of our skin, the better we can help delay the aging process, and the longer we will look young.

Skin texture and uneven skin tone

• Large pores
• Blackheads
• Rough skin
• Pebbled chin
• Age spots
• Melasma
• Acne
• Hyperpigmentation
• Scars

Smooth and poreless skin is everyone’s dream. Unfortunately, genetics, age, and inappropriate skin care routine are the biggest culprits of unwanted skin texture and tone. Addressing skin texture and uneven skin tone is going to take a proactive home skin care routine like medical grade skin care with retinoids and skin lightening agents, plus in-office treatments like chemical peels such as VI Peel, microdermabrasion with The DiamondGlow™ device, microneedling with Collagen P.I.N., and lasers. Marina and her team create a personalized plan for you to start your journey to a smoother, glowing skin that everyone will envy.

Wrinkles and hyperdynamic muscles

• Forehead wrinkles
• Frowning lines, aka the 11s
• Wrinkles around eyes
• Droopy eyelids
• Gummy smile
• Asymmetric smile
• Prominent neck bands (platysmal bands)
• Downturned corners of the mouth
• “Pebbled” or “orange peel” looking chin
• Crepey skin

Wrinkle relaxers can do wonders for our skin. Strategically placed small amounts of BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® around dynamic muscles can erase years and delay aging signs around the face and neck. Marina’s training in advanced procedures allows her to create results that are long lasting and natural. She carefully studies your face to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique features and enhances your beauty.

Volume Loss

After the age of 20, a person produces about 1% less collagen in the skin each year. As a result the skin becomes thinner and fragile with age. In addition our lifestyle choices and everyday habits affect our skin health.

●  Deep nasolabial folds
●  Thinning lips
●  Hollow temples
●  Falling cheeks and jowls
●  Less defined jawline
●  Aging neck
●  Under eye circles, hollow tear trough
●  Dark circles under eyes
●  Aging hands
●  Marionette lines, downturned corners of the mouth
●  Folds around the mouth
●  Heavy eyelids
●  Perioral lines, smokers lines

Volume loss can contribute to a sunken or hollow look that adds years to your appearance. Many patients share with Marina that their appearance (tired, angry looking and sad) does not necessarily address how they feel inside (happy and content). By using dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, Marina can make your personality match your appearance.

Dermal fillers like the JUVÉDERM® family:

• JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC
• JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC and JUVÉDERM® XC
• JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA™ XC
• JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC

Or the Restylane® family:

• Restylane®
• Restylane-L®
• Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine
• Restylane® Silk
• Restylane® Refyne
• Restylane® Defyne
• Restylane® Kysse

Using hyaluronic acid and other substances can “fill in” or plump areas that have lost volume and smoothness. Marina intentionally places carefully chosen filler to achieve aesthetically pleasing results.

Sculptra® is another treatment that stimulates collagen and restores volume in the areas of temples, cheeks, mid face, and lower face. It can also be used in the other areas of the body to restore volume and firmness in the buttocks and above knee area.

Features Augmentation, Artistic Rebalancing

• lips hydration and augmentation
• cheeks
• jawline contouring
  
• chin augmentation
  
• improving profile view

Our facial features are as diverse as we are. While no two sets of lips or cheeks are exactly the same, it is essential to understand proportions and balance that lead to aesthetically pleasing results. Marina studies your face in static (still) and kinetic (movement) state. She looks at your face from different angles to create desired balance and structure. Marina and her team combine the epitome of art and science to achieve your desired results.
