Building a Good Foundation

Posted on November 27, 2018 by Dr. McWhirter

At ReNue, we work hard at always improving our unique and free consultations, to increase your satisfaction with treatments.  We have tried many terms to describe the need to keep the face from looking tired, saggy, sad or angry, but I think the most relevant term is “foundation.” This is what I mean…. like houses, if the concrete foundation is strong it will last longer and support a bigger and better house.  Some people are blessed with a good natural foundation like high cheek bones, a tight under eye, strong jaw line and chin.  Others are not so fortunate and … Continue Reading

The interesting thing about our bodies’ platelets is that they are packed full of molecules that aid in the body healing itself.  By concentrating the platelets, we can really amplify their affect without adding any artificial ingredients to the mix. The great thing about PRP is that is a completely natural method to improve your … Continue Reading

Treatment of the Lips Part 1 – The Aging Lip

Posted on July 16, 2018 by Dr. McWhirter

The treatment of lips in the medical aesthetic world is the most controversial of subjects.  I am going to write a few blogs on the subject because I spend so much time treating lips and discussing lips with our clients. I want to start about discussing the aging lip.  I am not sure many people think about the lip as something that ages, but sadly, it ages along with the rest of us.  Our lips age for many of the same reasons that our skin ages with a few exceptions. Lips age from the natural loss of skin thickness and … Continue Reading
