Reasons Cheek and Chin Fillers Might Be For You When you think of fillers, you might first think of lip injections or fillers for wrinkles and fine lines. Fillers are common beauty treatments that medical professionals provide to help clients feel their best. But, more fillers are becoming more popular these days—cheek and chin filler. 2021 is seeing the rise of people wanting Voluma filler in their cheeks and chins.   Voluma Cheek Filler— the “New Lip Injection” Cheek fillers are the new lip injection, says Dr. Samuel Lin, a Boston plastic surgeon. With the hyaluronic acid filler Voluma, medical professionals across the globe are filling people’s cheeks to give them a more youthful look. Specifically, these fillers increase volume around the cheekbones, and make your bone structure ostensibly more defined. Depending on the placement, it will feminize or masculinize.   Chin Fillers For Aging   Like cheek fillers, medical spas are seeing an uptick of chin fillers in their patients’ requests. As a central pillar of the face, your chin accentuates all your other facial features, such as your nose. Your chin elongates or shortens your neck, defines or blurs your jawline, and accentuates or hides the weight of the jowls. These days, a heart-shaped face is in style, which you can achieve with some chin filler. Chin fillers additionally help reduce the jowls and saggy or wrinkly necks that come with aging. These aging effects often result in people having an angry-looking face, as the lip muscles droop [...]

Choosing to take steps to change the appearance of your body with surgery or non-surgical devices can be scary, intimidating, and overwhelming. With many options on the market to remove subcutaneous fat, BBME chooses to provide CoolSculpting® technology over other devices due to effectiveness, safety, scientific studies, and FDA clearance. The device remains the #1 fat removal device across the nation, with over 8 million successfully completed treatments. What is CoolSculpting® and how does it work? CoolSculpting® is a fat reduction treatment. It is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. What does that mean? CoolSculpting® is an easy treatment to eliminate that stubborn fat that just will not go away even when you are dieting and exercising. Nine areas on the body can be treated including abdomen, flanks, arms, submental (chin), inner-thigh, outer-thigh, banana roll, back fat, and bra fat. CoolSculpting® results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you will look and feel great from every angle. The way the CoolSculpting® works comes down to science. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting® technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to target the subcutaneous fat cells underneath the skin gently and effectively. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the dead fat and eliminates those cells, leaving a more sculpted you. What are CoolSculpting® Side Effects? An emerging complication involving CoolSculpting® is making headlines lately for a rare [...]

The team at Bobbi Bullock Medical Esthetics firmly believes in empowering others and boosting self-esteem leading clients to feel their most confident self, both inside and out. Bobbi Bullock Medical Esthetic’s philosophy is to be kind to yourself day in and day out in order to have that reflective glow and the kindness that follows.  Recently, the team shared what the BBME philosophy means to them. “I have been a nurse for a long time and have met a lot of different patients and I’m always astounded by human nature and especially women, which are the majority of my clients, and the things we face as women - I think that takes a certain amount of bravery to face every day.”- Rebecca, RN “We all age, all of our treatments make [our clients] feel like themselves again. “ - Michalyn “Love yourself first. That gives you more energy to love others. Confidence is taking charge of those difficult situations and believing in yourself.” - Melissa, RN It takes a certain amount of bravery to face day to day, and carry on. The idea of being brave at harnessing your inner strength to move forward, set goals, and become a better version of yourself, for tomorrow, the next day, or the next year is BBME’s ultimate goal. Being more sure of yourself leads to taking time for self-care, being more confident in your own skin, and being more comfortable putting yourself out there. Remember that self-care starts with SELF - inner [...]

Wanting a six-pack has always been a goal of mine. I have dedicated a lot of my time to fitness and overall health, spending 5-6 days a week lifting weights, doing cardio, and burning out my abdomen muscles with hundreds of crunches. When the gym alone was not giving me the abdomen definition I wanted, I started to transition my eating habits to less processed foods and more lean proteins and vegetables. There is a famous saying, “abs are made in the kitchen” and I took this very seriously. I began to see results from consistent workouts and a healthier diet after 1 year, but I wanted more.  Muscle Magnetic Stimulation was the answer to help reach my goals. In June of 2019 Allergan Pharmaceutical received FDA clearance for a new device they named; CoolTone, a device that was developed to improve abdomen tone, definition, and strength. “Using magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS), CoolTone technology penetrates into the muscle layers and induces involuntary muscle contractions. The body responds to these contractions by strengthening its muscle fibers, resulting in improved muscle conditioning. Whether targeting abdomen, buttocks or thighs, CoolTone strengthens, tones and firms the muscles in the treated area, resulting in a more defined and toned appearance. CoolTone has 50 percent more magnetic intensity than the leading competitor (1.35 T versus 0.9 T) at the point of contact.” (http://www.coolsculptinghcp.com/cooltone) At BBME we have developed CoolTone treatment plans based on individual goals and needs. My treatment plan was 10 treatments over 5 weeks. [...]

My name is Adrianna, and I am usually the first friendly face you see during your visit at the spa, as I work the front desk here at BB Medical Esthetics! I recently received my first CoolSculpting® treatment and would like to share about my experience. My personal CoolSculpting® journey didn’t just happen overnight, I want to share the steps and experiences I encountered, so that if any of you have been thinking of taking the leap with CoolSculpting®, you can feel confident in your decision and know exactly what to expect! For the last handful of years, like many of us, I have struggled with body confidence. Weight gain of course affects everyone a little differently and is brought on by many reasons. Whether it’s from stress, medical issues, and for some, like myself, I gained the majority of my weight after I met my now fiancé. Happiness has an odd  way of taking your focus off the little things like the type of food you are putting into your body or the amount of time you spend in the gym and more on the memories you make with the ones you love. When I started at BBME, I was very fascinated with CoolSculpting® and the permanent results our clients were seeing when they came in for their follow ups. These results are truly life changing for some people and to be able to permanently see the reduction of fat in areas that can be hard to target with [...]

We have been hinting for months that something brilliant, advanced, and a true game-changer will be making a new home at BB Medical Esthetics in 2021. What were your guesses? Well today we are so excited to reveal the newest member of our Body Improvement menu - CoolSculpting® Elite!   What is CoolSculpting Elite? Creators of CoolSculpting®, the #1 fat reduction and FDA-cleared device, have upgraded their technology! Looking at the Elite, you will first notice its sleek look, modern command screen and most importantly two applicator attachments instead of one. The new platform and its technology were not created to take the place of the current CoolSculpting® devices you are used to, but instead to allow for future add-on treatments such as a Cellulite reduction applicator (how exciting!). Our current CoolSculpting® devices have hit their “ceiling” of advancement. The machine housing itself does not allow the creators to make any future upgrades. The important thing to remember is the technology behind the current machines and the new Elite is the EXACT same - Elite just allows for more uses at once with a newer design. We are still freezing fat at a patented temperature for a specific amount of time to receive permanent fat-reducing results. What is the real difference between the two CoolSculpting devices? We are now going to refer to our current CoolSculpting® devices as the “Legacies” and the new device as the “Elite”. The Elite performance and client experience is far superior to the Legacy. With [...]

What is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is a fat reduction treatment. It is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. What does that mean? There is now an easy treatment to eliminate that stubborn fat that just will not go away even when you are dieting and exercising. CoolSculpting results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you will look and feel great from every angle.   How does it work? It comes down to science. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues.  CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to target the subcutaneous fat cells underneath the skin gently and effectively. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.   What to expect: First, schedule and come in for a complimentary consultation with our Body Improvement Manager, Ashley. During the consultation, Ashley will go through your area(s) of fat loss opportunity with you. She will then determine which applicator(s) will be the best fit for you to achieve your individual goals, determine how many treatments and cycles is recommend to get the best results and give you a general timeline with options for packages to purchase (financing also available). Once you start your treatment the cooling begins and during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold, this may feel like cramping, pinching or pain initially. This [...]

What experience do you bring to BBME? I came to BBME as a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of healthcare experience and have been a Registered Nurse for over 13 years. As a Registered Nurse Injector, I have done over 33,000 injections in the past two years at BBME. During that time I have completed advanced training in injectables.   Why are you interested in working in medical esthetics? I got into esthetic medicine because I knew I would be good at it. I have an excellent eye for symmetry and love to strive for perfection. I have a background in make-up artistry and modeling so I truly understand how to contour a face and accentuate positive features. The same principles of make-up artistry apply to facial fillers - I'm always evaluating symmetry and contour but instead of applying it on the skin I am using products that create symmetry and contour from the inside which gives natural results and lasts longer!   How are your services unique? As a trainer, I bring experience as an injector, advanced knowledge of anatomy, familiarity with a variety of injectable products, and a special understanding of symmetry and esthetics from experience in modeling and makeup artistry.   What is a common misconception about the industry?  A common misconception in esthetic injectables is that it will not look natural or it will be "over-done". As an expert injector, I understand the layers of tissue, where to apply the product, and where not to [...]

Hi, this is Bobbi from Bobbi Bullock Medical Esthetics. I want to talk to you today about why we are a different kind of medical spa. First of all, anyone can call themselves a medical spa. There's no rules or regulations for it, but we're actually a medical practice. I'm a certified nurse practitioner and everything we do here requires a medical license and oversight, and I provide both of those things. A couple of things that really make us stand out though, as a very unique medical spa is one, I guarantee everyone's work here. Every injector at Bobbi Bullock Medical Esthetics is a registered nurse and they've not only been a nurse for a long period of time, but then they're also trained by me, and I'm a national trainer with Allergen. So I get all the information from the top and I pass it onto my injectors. So we are always cutting edge and by the line. I want to talk about our lip technique, the patent-pending perfectly predictable pout. This is a 12 step procedure that guarantees a beautiful finish and consistent results from each injector. When you come in, you want to know that you're going to get the same treatment and the same results and not just what someone else considers to be beautiful. So we're in the process of patenting it and it's going to be very exciting. So exciting, in fact, that Yelp has already nominated us as the number one lip [...]

It's curious how everyone is worried about anti-aging with their face, and most recently their neck, but one of the biggest telltales of our advancing years is our hands. We may do our nails, keep our cuticles trimmed, and wear beautiful rings, but the thinning skin, age spots, prominent tendons and veins give it all away!  Horrified, some of us start using our face cream or retinol on the backs of our hands, or adding SPF, but this is really something we began after we saw the damage. I'm 49, and I’m an outdoorsy girly-girl.  I own a medical spa, and I'm a nurse practitioner with prescriptive authority. Ya, I literally have every medication and option at my fingertips (no pun intended) to remain youthful, but after years of working in the hospital and the operating room, with hand sanitizers and gloves, my hands look old. That's not adding all the sun damage, mothering, gardening, and just plain old life. I like to think of myself as a pioneer in the cosmetic injection arena. I've been doing this a long time, I'm a national trainer for Allergan, and I even own a cosmetic injection training center. I LOVE FILLER! I love creating, restoring, and enhancing beauty, while watching the skin take shape. It's like a magic show, putting little filler tent poles underneath the tissue to put it back where it used to be, with maybe a little more contour, and a little bit prettier. I like subtle and beautiful [...]

Mirror, mirror on the wall, why do I suddenly look like my mother? I want to reduce the sag in my jowls and bring the fullness to my cheeks that was once there.  Many of us know that as we age, our facial skin loses collagen and fat, leaving our face wrinkly, saggy or droopy. The anti-aging solution is a non-surgical facelift that promises to tighten, lift, and smooth the face in less than an hour. Results are immediate and require little to no down time.  Bobbi Bullock Medical Esthetics’ 45 Minute Miracle Facelift lets you skip the anesthesia and scalpel and have a lifted, more structured, youthful look.  This procedure uses Juvéderm Voluma, a special smooth gel formula that provides an unmatched ability to sculpt facial contours and structure.  Voluma is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body. Bobbi Bullock NP-C, national Allergan speaker and educator, knows all the latest trends and technological advances. All services are FDA-cleared, and her staff receives the highest-level of training and certification possible. Allergan, the maker of Botox, created the Voluma gel for the temporary facelift, and Bobbi Bullock Medical Esthetics, ranked #340 with Allergan out of 66,000 medspas, created the miracle facelift procedure. Voluma is the first FDA approved injectable filler to correct loss of volume in the cheeks, jaw and chin within minutes. Results provide a natural lift that contour the face shape for up to 2 years leaving your face lifted, supported, sculpted and more [...]
