Starting your aesthetic journey can feel overwhelming with so many options available. That’s why we created this beginner’s guide to help you understand what we offer and where to start.
Your journey, your pace:

The science behind Sculptra’s incredible results ✨
This amazing breakdown shows exactly why Sculptra delivers results that last 2+ years. It’s not just adding volume - it’s literally rebuilding your skin from the inside out.
What we love about this science:
Your body doesn’t recognize Sculptra as foreign - it sees it as a signal to start producing more of what you naturally had when you were younger. PLLA-SCAT technology works across all three skin layers, creating comprehensive rejuvenation.
Why this matters for our patients:
Understanding the “why” behind your treatment helps you appreciate the gradual, natural transformation you’ll experience. This isn’t instant gratification - it’s intelligent regeneration.
The Aura approach:
We’ve mastered the art of placement and dilution for optimal results. Our patients love the subtle, progressive enhancement that looks completely natural.

The most neglected area in aesthetic medicine 👀
Everyone focuses on their face, but your neck often gets forgotten until it’s too late. We see patients daily who’ve spent thousands on facial treatments while ignoring the area that actually gives away their age.
Here’s what most people don’t realize:
Your neck starts aging in your 30s, but the signs become obvious in your 40s and 50s. By then, you need professional intervention - skincare alone won’t cut it.
The mistake we see repeatedly:
Waiting too long to address neck concerns. Prevention and early intervention always give better results than trying to reverse decades of damage.
Our philosophy:
Treat the neck as seriously as you treat your face. The technology exists, the expertise is here, and the results speak for themselves.
Don’t let your neck be an afterthought in your aesthetic journey.

Our RN Shannon treated this male patient with JUVEDERM VOLUMA®️ to restore volume loss in the cheek area — one of the most common concerns we see in men. 💉💪🏼
Filler continues to be a popular treatment at Aura, and when injected with skill and precision, the results can be natural, subtle, and confidence-boosting — especially for male patients who want to look refreshed without looking “done.” ✔️
