Looking natural with Botox, filler and medical aesthetics
Your skin is constantly evolving, and your treatments should evolve with it.
Our approach is all about beauty in motion — a method that has become a Living Beauty trademark.
At Living Beauty, we specialize in the “untouched” look, using precise techniques to enhance your features without overdoing it. Here, Adela Medrano, Living Beauty’s Nurse Practitioner & Medical Director, explains the approach and shares the answers to her eight most frequently asked questions.
AM: “We believe in creating a healthy and confident relationship with beauty that feels personal and authentic— you are never just another appointment. Every treatment and product we choose is selected for its effectiveness and ability to support natural results rather than trends. Aesthetics should never be about changing who you are.”
Q: How do I know which treatments are suitable for me?
AM: “The best place to start is with a consultation. Together, we look at things like skin quality, tone, texture, volume changes and muscle activity before discussing your goals. Your timeline, preferences and lifestyle are all part of the conversation.”
Q: What’s the difference between Botox and filler?
AM: “Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles. It targets dynamic wrinkles, the lines that appear with repeated facial expressions. Filler is made of hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally found in the skin that helps with hydration and structure. It can restore volume or enhance features such as lips, cheeks or the jawline.”
Q: What advice do you give to someone trying a neuromodulator for the first time?
AM: “These treatments have been used safely in medicine for decades, not only for aesthetics but also for things like migraines and muscle spasms. At Living Beauty, the goal is balance. We’re not aiming for a frozen look, but instead softening movement to enhance your natural features while keeping your expression unmistakably yours.”
Q: What are some alternatives to filler?
AM: “Filler is still a great option, but it’s not the only choice. An exciting alternative is Naturagel, a treatment made from your own blood. It works with your body to support tissue healing, collagen stimulation and subtle volume restoration. Where filler provides instant structure, Naturagel takes a regenerative approach.”
Q: What new technology are you most excited about?
AM: “The Clear + Brilliant laser is a gentle, non-invasive resurfacing treatment that helps improve skin tone, texture and overall radiance. It’s perfect for patients who want to refresh their skin, minimize early signs of aging or maintain a healthy glow with little to no downtime.”
Q: What treatments can improve skin texture?
AM: “Skinvive is designed to improve hydration and overall skin quality, giving a smoother and more refreshed appearance. PRP, especially when paired with microneedling, uses your own platelets to stimulate healing and collagen production, which can help improve tone, texture, and elasticity.”
Q: What can I do to give my results longevity?
AM: “SPF is essential, since sun exposure is one of the biggest accelerators of skin aging. A skin care routine designed for your specific needs, along with hydration, balanced nutrition and healthy habits, will help support and extend your results, as will regular maintenance at the recommended intervals.”
