Professional Botox® Treatments For Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Achieve younger-looking skin, with reduced wrinkles and fine lines, with Botox injections. With the correct placement and the right amount of units injected, our Botox clinician helps you achieve your goals with a natural, healthy finish.
We pride ourselves on client service, committed to finding the right level of Botox treatment for you. If you would like a free professional consultation at our clinic, contact our team today.
Effective Botox® Anti-Aging Treatment
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a common and effective treatment for the following: forehead lines, frown lines (aka 11’s or glabellar), crow’s feet, bunny lines, upper lip, smoker’s lines, vertical lines of the neck (platysmal bands), horizontal lines of the neck (necklace lines), dimpled chin, excessive sweating, gummy smile, under eye wrinkles, jaw slimming, and TMJ pain.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neurotoxin injected by units from a syringe into the face to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. More units cause less movement. Fewer units cause more movement.
A subtle, natural look is always achievable, whether you opt for some movement or little to no movement.
Talk with your clinician about what result is best for you.
If you suffer from lines or wrinkles, this product is for you. Targeted injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic into facial tissue temporarily interrupt nerve signals to nearby muscles. Even deep-set wrinkles can find some improvement. It also has many other cosmetic uses, including being injected into the armpits to halt excessive sweating.
Botox® can be injected directly into muscles, temporarily blocking nerve impulses and relaxing them. With blocked nerve impulses, muscle contraction is reduced (temporarily), preventing dynamic wrinkles and giving facial skin a smoother, younger appearance.
To fully determine your candidacy for this injectable, schedule a consultation with one of our expert aesthetic injectors. At the initial consultation, we will discuss your needs and overall goals.
*Prior to the consultation, please be aware that if you are pregnant or nursing, you are NOT a candidate to receive treatment. Please wait until after pregnancy and once entirely through with nursing to receive treatment.
You will also want to inform us of anything else that may hinder your cosmetic results, including:
- any medications you are taking, including vitamins and supplements
- any known allergies
- if you have an infection in the proposed area
- have some muscle/skeletal disorders (for your safety, please disclose all medical conditions to your clinician prior to treatment)
- are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- have double vision
Sometimes, people do not meet the requirements to be a BOTOX® Cosmetic patient. If this is the case, our team may recommend other skin care treatments to help you get the youthful appearance you’re hoping to achieve.
Botox® needles are extremely fine, providing a relatively painless treatment without needing an anesthetic. In most cases, treatment takes less than 20 minutes, with very little effect on your day.
If you’re unsure about Botox® or nervous about treatment, please don’t hesitate to contact our clinic team today.
We understand why the word “toxin” gives people pause when they learn that BOTOX® Cosmetic is derived from Botulinum toxin A. But just because Botox is a toxin doesn’t mean it is toxic. BOTOX® Cosmetic is made from a purified form of Botulinum toxin A. It is reconstituted with a saline solution before being injected, which means it is administered in concentrations far below harmful levels.
Botox is the most extensively studied non-surgical medical aesthetic treatment (over 30 years of study and innovation). It has been FDA-approved for 11 therapeutic and three cosmetic uses. Botox is safe and effective and approved for cosmetic use in up to 78 countries. There have been over 8 million procedures performed among Americans in the last year alone.
That being said, any medical treatment can be dangerous in the wrong hands. You should trust your BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure to an experienced, responsible, and certified injector. Remember, it’s the skill, talent, and experience of the injector that you are buying, not the product. Always make sure you do your homework and are putting yourself in a safe and certified environment to receive treatment.
In theory, most men and women are suitable for Botox® treatments. However, suitability and results can vary from client to client. With this in mind, Solstice Aesthetics will discuss your options and assess your candidacy with safety at the heart of all pre-treatment consultations.
The cost of BOTOX® Cosmetic can vary depending on the number of units you receive at treatment. Whether your needs are a sprinkling or full coverage, the price is ultimately determined by what you’re trying to achieve.
It’s important not to allow BOTOX® Cosmetic to wear off completely. This is because the muscles will start contracting again, causing the progression of the line or wrinkle. We like to build off the last treatment results and not have to reteach the muscle. Because BOTOX® Cosmetic is a temporary procedure, the results will likely last 2.5-3.5 months. It is essential for you to keep up your appointment schedule to maintain your results. For this reason, we highly recommend you schedule your next appointment before you leave.

Professional PRP Treatment For Younger looking skin:
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy has shown tremendous promise for its healing and regenerative benefits in the realm of cosmetics and non-surgical hair restoration. This innovative, low-risk procedure has been utilized for years to speed the recovery of joint and sports injuries. Today, here at Solstice Aesthetics, we use PRP injections to rejuvenate photo-aged skin and help patients regrow thinning hair.
PRP is a nonsurgical, in office treatment which takes about one hour to complete. PRP treatment is made up of injections that are prepared by drawing your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your areas of trouble or placed on as a facial commonly known as a “vampire facial.”
Through PRP treatment, growth factors are released, which stimulate and increase the amount of collagen and elastin in the body, resulting in plumper, more radiant skin.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is made up of plasma which is a portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water, proteins, stem cells, and rich platelets, which are necessary for growth and repair.
While some patients heal completely in 24 hours , it may take up 48 hours. The collagen production and healing continue gradually with improvement seen up to 6 months after the PRP treatment.
PRP is a very safe treatment and has little to no side effects. Since we’re using your own blood, there's zero risk of rejection. Some minor side effects within the first 24 - 48 hours may include; minor bruising, swelling, and tenderness.
PRP is an effective treatment for men and women of all ages that is customized for each person and can treat even the most sensitive skin. Common issues treated with PRP include:
- Skin texture and tone
- Fine lines
- Dark Circles
- Scarring
- Hair restoration (when injected into areas of hair loss)
- Skin laxity
The recommended amount is three injections spread out 4-5 weeks apart. Depending on the individual, more or less may be needed to achieve the desired look.
Results may vary depending on the individual, but many have reported noticeable improvements as early as 3-4 weeks from injection.
The effects of PRP are not permanent, but effects can last up to 12-18 months on average.

Secret RF microneedling and traditional microneedling (SkinPen)
We offer both Secret RF and traditional microneedling ( SkinPen).
The Secret RF delivers heat into the deeper layers of the skin using the controlled radiofrequency energy. It creates the better response by targeting the dermis leaving the epidermis intact which is a vast improvement over traditional microneedling. Patients will see an incredible improvement in their lines, wrinkles, acne scars or other type scars, saggy or loose skin, and even stretch marks. This targeted energy revitalizes , rebuilds, and effectively remodels collagen which provides treatment while leaving the outer layer of skin intact.
The following patients are ideal candidates for Normal Secret RF
- Acne scars
- Fine line and wrinkles
- Sun damaged skin
- Wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Rough texture
The following patients are ideal candidates for aggressive Secret RF treatment:
- Deep lines and wrinkles
- Tightening decolletage ( neck and chest )
- Sagging skin above the knee
- Crepey neck or eye skin
- Stretch marks
- Deep acne scars
- Jowl tightening
While it can be more painful than traditional microneedling because there is heat involved, the pain is tolerable. We use numbing cream and also offer injections , and/ or nitrous oxide gas to alleviate discomfort.
Your skin may look flushed after the treatment. However, most of the redness will resolve by the next day. The treated skin should be kept clean and not washed until the following day. The treatment area may feel slightly rough like sand paper for 2-3 days. There is no discomfort after the procedure. You can wear makeup 48 hours after and return to your normal skin care in 1-2 days.
Patients can expect to see results in about 4-6 weeks post treatment with continued improvement for up to 3 months.
Traditional microneedling uses a handheld mechanical device with sterile ultrafine disposable needle tips to create microinjuries to the skin. This stimulates the body’s own healing response and initiates collagen and elastin production. When we apply PRP during the treatment allows for deeper and more effective penetration of nutrients and growth factors through the microchannels in the skin.
RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. RF microneedling gives you the benefits of traditional microneedling PLUS skin tightening and additional collagen and elastin production. The RF energy delivered deep into the skin produces a faster, more dramatic result over traditional microneedling.

Effective Anti-Aging Treatment
The hormones in your body have many important jobs that keep you healthy. However, with age, your hormones may start to become imbalanced, causing a variety of unpleasant symptoms, like mood changes, weight gain, and health problems. To help keep you healthy and happy as you age, we offer bioTE hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). A custom bioTE pellet is inserted just under your skin to continuously release bio-identical hormones so your hormone levels reach normal levels. Dr. Escobar uses bioTE because the hormones in the pellets are exact replicas of what your body naturally produces (bio-identical). Schedule a consultation at Solstice Medicine with one of our providers to learn more about bioTE hormone replacement therapy.
Bio-identical replacement therapy or natural hormone therapy is the practice of inserting hormones into the body that are identical to the ones we already have. Your hormones control many different functions, including digestion, appetite, mood, libido, and your immune system. Therefore, when your hormones are imbalanced, it can lead to a variety of health concerns. This is why individuals turn to hormone therapy to restore the body to optimal health and function.
The many benefits of bioTE include:
- No pills or shots you have to take
- Hormones are bio-identical to your natural hormones
- Reduces symptoms of menopause and low testosterone
- Boosts libido and sexual function
- Increases energy levels
- Improves mental focus, mood, and clarity
- Helps burn fat and build healthy lean muscle
- Supports healthier, younger-looking skin
- Promotes better sleep
Simply put, bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to the ones our bodies produce naturally and are made from plant estrogens. When your custom bioTE pellet is inserted just under your skin to continuously release bio-identical hormones, your hormone levels reach normal levels through the most natural method possible.
Blood work will be needed to determine your initial hormone levels and dosing. The appropriate bioTE pellets will be inserted with local anesthesia through a small incision. After the bioTE pellets are inserted, you will receive post-procedure instructions such as avoiding exercise or soaking in water (baths, hot tubs, pools) for at least three days to keep the bandages clean and dry. You may experience bruising, swelling, redness, or bleeding at the insertion site for 2 – 3 weeks. After your pellets have been placed, blood work will be repeated around 4 – 8 weeks to monitor your progress and confirm appropriate dosage. New pellets are re-inserted every 3 – 6 months to sustain results.
Hormone imbalances are common in both men and women, especially as they get older. A hormone imbalance can cause depression, low sex drive, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, and trouble concentrating or remembering (brain fog). In men, a hormone imbalance can cause erectile dysfunction (ED) and specific health issues. In women, hormone imbalances can cause hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms of menopause.
The cost will be discussed during your initial consultation. Our practice accepts many forms of payment to help make your treatment affordable.

Laser Hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the United States. It is a convenient method for the long-term reduction or removal of unwanted hair on the face and/or body. This treatment typically leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother while providing longer-lasting results than other methods. Both men and women are ideal candidates for laser hair reduction/removal in common areas, such as the arms, legs, back, face, armpits, and intimate areas.
Consistent waxing or shaving can be annoying. Benefits of laser hair reduction include:
- Able to be carried out on many parts of your body and for different types of hair
- Makes skin smoother and softer
- Fast treatment with minimal pain for the majority of individuals
- Less repetitive than plucking or waxing
- Yields long-lasting results
- Prevents ingrown hair follicles
- Avoids regrowth between sessions
Patients who:
- Have unwanted facial or body hair
- Are tired of other hair reduction techniques (shaving, waxing, depilatory creams, bleaching)
- Have dark hair and light skin
While laser hair reduction is relatively gentle in nature, your skin may feel like it has a slight sunburn after treatment. When you leave our office, you will be free to resume your daily activities, but you should refrain from exercise or sun exposure for a period of 24 hours to let the treated areas heal. When you get home after your session, we recommend cold packs, if needed, to alleviate any discomfort.
Laser hair reduction may cause minor discomfort, but it is not considered a painful procedure. Most patients will feel a slight sting when the laser removes the hair follicle, but it is mainly alleviated by the cooling device on the laser handpiece. Patients who are used to getting waxed report that laser hair removal causes much less discomfort than a normal waxing session.
Laser hair reduction is a procedure that varies in cost, depending on the area being treated on the face or body, as well as how many sessions are needed to attain a smooth, hairless result. Laser hair reduction is more costly than waxing or other hair removal methods, but it is generally the most effective and offers long-lasting results. We will create a custom plan for you that includes the total number of sessions recommended and pricing options to consider.
Hair growth occurs in varying cycles. While some hair may be in a growing phase, others may be dormant and not yet "seen" by the laser. Since each follicle grows in various stages, multiple treatment sessions are typically needed to target each hair and follicle at its growing phase. Between treatment sessions, the hairs that do grow can be shaved because the follicle is not affected, but do not wax as it will affect the hair follicle. Laser hair removal eliminates the hair from the follicle, but the laser must “see” the hair to remove it. If a follicle is dormant, it is harder for the laser to see. Spreading out your sessions over various weeks helps remove each follicle for the smoothest, most effective result.
IPL
Intense pulsed light (IPL) delivers diffuse, multi-colored light that treats broken blood vessels and pigmented spots, as well as photodamage, acne, and unwanted hair, to give your skin an improved texture. It can be used on areas such as your face, hands, neck, and chest to give your skin a clearer and more even, youthful look.
Some of the benefits on your skin include:
- Evening the color
- Improving the texture
- Reducing the size of your pores
- Restoring a healthy, luminous, and radiant appearance
- Looking younger
- Improving your self-image and self-confidence
Patients who have:
- Broken blood vessels
- Melasma
- Port-wine stains
- Rosacea
- Unwanted pigmentation (age spots, freckles, birthmarks, sun damage)
- Scars
- Skin texture problems
- Spider veins
- Stretch marks
- Large pores
After treatment, your skin may appear red, although swelling is uncommon. You can immediately resume your regular schedule. Following treatment, you can experience short-term moderate sunburn-like symptoms. Use a cold compress or cooling gel pack to calm the skin, as it could feel sensitive for a few days. Make sure to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 14 days, so be sure to wear sunscreen and/or hats for sun protection. Ensure you do not aggravate the skin by picking/peeling, exfoliating the skin, using vitamin A products, or hair removal on the treated area during the healing process.
During the procedure, people may feel a pinching sensation. Some individuals have described this as a feeling similar to an elastic band being “snapped” on the skin. Solstice Aesthetics will help people overcome this discomfort by offering a local anesthetic or chilling gel.
IPL is a procedure that varies in cost, depending on the area being treated and how many sessions are needed to attain your desired skin texture and clarity. We will create a custom plan for you that includes the total number of sessions recommended and pricing options to consider.
Everyone responds differently to IPL, and most people will need multiple rounds of treatment before noticing results. The length and number of sessions depend on each individual’s treatment plan. It is worth noting that it can take several weeks to notice the results of IPL treatment, but such results are relatively long-lasting.
Ablative CO2 Fractional Resurfacing
Ablative CO2 laser resurfacing is ultimate in skin rejuvenation as it can markedly improve skin quality issues such as deep wrinkles, sun damage, blemishes & scars. This can reset your skin’s age & appearance by up to 20 years. It is important not to overlook volume replacement as this will balance the improvement in skin texture & tone.
Your soft tissue is about 65% water, and the wavelength of the CO2 laser matches up perfectly with this composition. This means the CO2 laser at Solstice Aesthetics is safer and causes less damage to surrounding tissue while also stimulating neocollagenesis; the process of making more collagen. Ablative lasers kickstart this process by removing the top layer of skin, causing inflammation, leading to new collagen formation and skin tightening. Collagen production is key to radiant, youthful skin and improves its texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Patients who have:
- Sun damage
- Moderate to severe wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Discoloration
- Blemishes
- Scars
- Increased pore size
- Stretch marks
- Warts
- Lentigos
Most patients experience one to two weeks of downtime after an ablative carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing. Red and raw skin, swelling, and itchiness are common following laser resurfacing treatments. Patients should expect skin discoloration (redness/pinkness) to persist for several weeks. Hydrating lotions, skincare, and limited sun exposure can reduce recovery time. The results of an ablative carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing will not be directly apparent following the procedure and will evolve over a few weeks as the skin heals but can last years with proper skin care and protection.
We give you topical anesthetic before beginning treatment. During treatment, you will feel a warm sensation or a slight sting as the laser passes over your skin. We liken the feeling of discomfort to being snapped with a rubber band.
Your overall cost also depends on how many sessions you need and the area being treated. We will create a custom plan for you that includes the total number of sessions recommended and pricing options to consider.
Depending on the degree of damage to your skin and the desired outcome, most patients can expect excellent results after a single session. However, patients may require several treatments for severe wrinkles or deep scars. Treatments can also be adjusted to your cosmetic and downtime expectations so that you can opt for two or three “lighter” sessions.
