Morgie Makes It Up

As someone who practices and specializes in esthetics, I personally do not perform procedures or injections that I either 1) won't perform on myself or 2) won't get myself. Today, I performed microneedling using low-molecular weight Hyluronic Acid, Asian Centella, and Eye Kontour ™️. Then, I touched up my botox using 15 units to the Glabella (between the eyes), 12 units to the bunnies (beside the nose), 8 units to the lateral brow, and 4 units to my crows. Then, to finish off, I used the post injection serum over the entire face and neck.

I will post my results in a week!! Interested in the benefits of microneedling? Curious about Botox? DM me and let's chat!!

To every engaged couple in Southwest Virginia: your photographer can edit a lot of things. Your skin at 8 hours into the wedding day is not one of them.

The couples who look effortless in their photos usually started months ahead. Skincare that works, a few well-timed treatments, maybe some tox, maybe a peel or two. Nothing dramatic, just a plan.

And grooms, this goes for you too. "Refreshed but still me" is a very achievable brief.

Comment your wedding month and we'll tell you when to start.

Friendly reminder that your wedding vendors are frequently available 24/7 responding to inquiries. I have clients messaging me at 3am at times because they work nights. It says on my website that I am unavailable this week. I am on my family vacation with family i only see once every two years. I have been off my phone for the majority of this time. Boy was I shocked when this was the first thing I saw on Facebook tonight. Here are some notes:

- slander is a crime
- we don't owe you our time off, just like any other job
- vendors deserve respect
- don't do this to people

Note: THIS IS NOT MY BRIDE. It's a family member of my client. The client has contacted me once on 8/1- the day we drove 7 hours to vacation. And that's it. Slander will NOT be tolerated my Morgie Makes It Up.

Honored do work with 11 unique and wonderful ladies for this wedding ❤️ truly had such a good day with them!

Acne can be frustrating.

What's even more frustrating?

Finally getting a breakout under control... only to be left with the marks, discoloration, and texture it leaves behind.

That's one reason we love VI Peels.

Because they don't just focus on the pimple you're dealing with today, they help address the congestion, discoloration, and uneven texture that can stick around long after the breakout is gone.

For many patients in Southwest Virginia, it's one of the most effective ways to tackle multiple acne concerns at once.

Book your VI Peel today!

What is PRP? And why use it?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood containing a higher-than-normal concentration of platelets. Platelets are best known for helping blood clot, but they also release growth factors and signaling proteins that play a role in tissue repair and healing.

Here's how the process typically works:

A small amount of your blood is drawn.
The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components.
The PRP is collected and applied or injected into the treatment area.
What is microneedling?

Microneedling uses a device with tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microscopic channels stimulate the body's natural wound-healing response, encouraging production of collagen and elastin. The treatment is commonly used to improve:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture
Mild skin laxity
Certain types of pigmentation issues
Why combine PRP with microneedling?

When PRP is combined with microneedling, the freshly created microchannels allow the PRP to come into close contact with the treated skin, and some practitioners also inject PRP into targeted areas. The idea is to enhance the skin's natural healing response.

Potential benefits include:

1. Faster healing

2. Greater collagen stimulation

3. Improved acne scar treatment

4. Better skin texture and tone

5. Improves fine lines and wrinkles
