TURN THE SCREENS OFF. We already know that looking at screens harms our sleep, so why would that be any different for children? Decrease screen time as the day advances and completely turn off any screens at least two hours before bedtime.

Unwind in dim lighting as the day ends, and place lava lamps or a night light in your children’s rooms to help soothe them. Also, adding a white noise machine or playing calm music can do wonders!

SAY HELLO TO CONFIDENCE WITH DERMAL FILLERS
Dermal fillers have become a popular, safe, and effective method for rejuvenating and enhancing our facial features. These minimally invasive procedures offer a nonsurgical alternative to combat the effects of aging on collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Hope, our board-certified physician assistant, is our no-surgical and injectibles guru and has some facts to share with you on the benefits of dermal fillers. MINIMALLY INVASIVE One of the primary advantages of filler injections is their minimally invasive nature. Unlike many surgical procedures, which require incisions and anesthesia, fillers use the strategic injection of substances under the skin’s surface to achieve desired outcomes. QUICK AND CONVENIENT Filler injections are usually a quick procedure that can be performed on your lunch break or during a short office visit. This convenience appeals to individuals with busy schedules who wish to enhance their appearance without committing to a lengthy recovery period.
NASHVILLE-NATURAL RESULTS Filler injections achieve natural-looking results to enhance your features while maintaining your unique characteristics. This artful approach avoids the “overdone” appearance that some fear with certain procedures. MINIMAL DOWNTIME Unlike traditional procedures, filler injections typically require little to no downtime. We often recommend avoiding physical or strenuous activity for 24 hours after the injections, and most patients can return to their normal lives after leaving our office. For those with busy schedules, this is a great option. IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION One of the most satisfying aspects of dermal fillers is that our patients will see results almost instantly. Wrinkles are smoothed, volume is restored, and facial contours are enhanced in real time!
