Behold the Power of Juvederm

We had an anti-aging event at the spa recently, where the La Papillon Beauty Team & our Diva of Dermatology, Dr. Noelle Sherber answered questions & even had live demonstrations. Our patient & model for filler was an active mom in her late thirties that had started to see the lines around her mouth becoming more prominent. Even when not smiling, her smile lines or nasal labial folds were apparent. There was a 'parentheses' like effect around her mouth.

Dr. Sherber first injected a syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC into each of the nasal labial lines around her mouth after the patient had topical numbing cream on for about 30 minutes. Juvederm comes in two different consistencies: Juvederm Ultra is softer & is often used in or around the lip area to add fullness. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a little thicker & is used when more correction is needed for deeper lines. Ultra Plus XC is a new version premixed with lidocaine for optimum comfort. Often one side of a person's face is more 'active' or emotive than the other{refer to 'before' photo}. For this reason, Dr. Sherber then layered a single syringe of Juvederm Ultra on the patient's right side to create a symmetrical look. Here the patient is immediately after the injections.

Here she is 5 minutes later, with a little bit of mineral powder to even out her skin tone. She looks refreshed, lifted & completely natural. Our patient absolutely loved her results! Do you have a question about Botox or Juvederm? Feel free to leave it in the comment section & Dr. Sherber will be sure to answer it!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

Tartans & Tidings

Last Saturday we sipped delish signature cocktails, nibbled delectable hors d'oeuvres & mingled with good friends at the Tartans & Tidings holiday event!

La Papillon, along with our Diva of Dermatology, Dr. Noelle Sherber were thrilled to be premiere sponsors of the event. Besides throwing some absolutely fabulous goodies in the VIP goody bags, we had our signature lip balms and Kate Somerville's Exfolikate out for guests to sample.

As the name suggests, the overall decor and tables were decked out in classic tartan plaid.

Band members of Burnt Sienna, my new favorite local band, regrouping between songs. They had everyone on their feet the whole night- catch them if they're ever in your town!

Allergan was in the house that night, as well. Their fabulous representative, Heidi showed her support at the event that gave back to Baltimore's chapter of Squashwise. They also donated Latisse for each & every swag bag! Latisse is responsible for my long lashes & retails for $120.

Where normally we're in gloves & protective goggles getting our clients gorgeous, Noelle & I finally got to get glammed up for the event!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
