CARE Esthetics stands for the Center for Advanced Rejuvenation and Esthetics and was established several years ago due to the growing patient demand for minimally invasive facial esthetic and regenerative procedures performed in the safest, most effective, and most natural way possible. We have become one of the largest facial esthetics groups in the world, which allows us to rapidly accumulate new information and knowledge as thousands of procedures are being performed throughout our many clinics across the United States.

Together, through our shared experiences, we aim to advance the field of facial esthetics collectively with one goal in mind—to treat our patients the best way possible, in the safest way possible, in the most natural way possible.

The goal of this book is to give you accurate, up-to-date information that you can understand to inform your decisions about what you would like to introduce into your own body.

This book will cover existing therapies including Botox, dermal fillers, laser therapy, platelet concentrates, PDO threads, and various surgical options. The book will always favor more natural and biocompatible regenerative strategies that utilize the body’s own healing potential rather than the introduction of foreign substances or chemical fillers.

In later chapters, you’ll learn exactly what happens as we age and how this subsequently leads to facial volume loss and gives us the dreaded droopy-face look. You’ll also learn how these can be corrected naturally using amazing new technologies such as lasers and/or platelet concentrates.

As someone who has devoted their practice to esthetics, I believe in these treatments. But I also believe that you need to understand the procedures you’re pursuing, so I hope you enjoy reading this book and deciding for yourself what’s best for you!
