GoodSkin, LA
GoodSkin specializes in cutting-edge anti-aging treatments for the "untouched" look. “What you’ve been sold about Botox and Juvéderm and Restylane is all wrong,” Lisa Goodman, founder of GoodSkinsays. “There are published medical studies showing that Botox can slow oil production and help in the treatment of rosacea. And the filler will instantly improve the skin's hydration and lessen the appearance of fine lines.” As you age, you begin to lose volume and bone mass. GoodSkin believes fillers are best used to preserve and occasionally correct your facial bone structure.
