I've been curious about Botox and fillers for a long time, but hadn't bothered to try it. I'm 31, with two small children, and let's just say the stress of motherhood has started to take its toll. I'll admit, I was a little intimidated because I don't look like a supermodel with picture-perfect skin and have always been self-conscious of my skin and face in general; however, my apprehension melted away as soon as I walked in the door. The staff here is absolutely amazing! Margaryta and Shannon made me feel completely at ease, even while assessing my face and suggesting fixes for problem spots (something that would normally be a nightmare scenario for me!). They patiently answered all my questions, including walking me through how each product works, how long until I see the full effects, etc, and offered plenty of new information I wouldn't have known to ask.
The first procedure they did was to put fillers in my cheekbone area. I told them I didn't want to look like I had fillers, just subtle enough to look natural. They said I already have really defined cheekbones and agreed that I didn't need a lot; they then suggested putting a little more on my right side because it was flatter than my left. (They correctly guessed that I slept on that side!) I was especially impressed that they didn't try to sell me on more than I needed or wanted; instead, they really listened and focused intently on making me as happy as possible with the results.
After the filler they did Botox. I was concerned about the lines on my forehead and between my eyes; they agreed and also suggested a unit or two in my right brow to lift it and make it even with my left. I was ecstatic, I had no idea a single shot of Botox could fix my uneven eyebrows! I'll be forever grateful to them for this :)
I was so happy with the results of the Botox and fillers, I figured I'd ask them about lip injections while I was there. I've never wanted huge, obviously overdone lips, but was confident they could give me a subtle plump. I'm so glad I asked, because as with the Botox, they noticed that the right side of my top lip was thinner than the left and also had a slightly different shape at the corner. Don't ask me why I had never noticed this, I have no idea! They put a little more in that side to make my lip even, and did a few small injections around the edges of my lips to define the border and overall enhance my lips. Just a warning: even with numbing cream, the lip injections HURT like a mother. I swore to my sister afterward that I would never do it again; however, now that the swelling has gone down and I see the full result, it's completely worth it! If it's especially painful, just ask for ice, that seemed to be more effective than numbing alone.
I completely recommend Javan to anyone looking for a non-surgical pick-me-up! I've read a lot about Botox, fillers, etc., but was absolutely blown away by everything they could do with them. Shannon and Margaryta's magic hands completely changed the symmetry of my face (for the better) and yet my 5-year-old daughter didn't believe me when I told her what they did. For me this is the sweet spot, enhancing what you have, while being subtle enough that you don't look different or unnatural. I am over-the-moon happy with the results. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!
