Most before-and-afters of neuromodulator treatment to the glabellar area show patients making an angry face.

While that’s helpful for demonstrating how the treatment relaxes the muscles, it’s not really how most of us spend our day!

What I find more meaningful is what happens when the face is completely at rest.

Here you can see the results after just one treatment to the glabella (the area between the eyebrows). The brow position is noticeably more symmetric, and there is beautiful improvement in the etched lines that had started to linger even without expression.

What Age Should You Start Botox: How Early is Too Early - Aesthetic Solutions 08/05/2026

One of the biggest misconceptions about Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, etc) is that there's a magic age when everyone should start.

There isn't!

The right time depends on your anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality, and treatment goals - not your birthday.

In our latest blog, Dr. Kamrani breaks down the difference between dynamic and static lines, preventative versus corrective treatment, and how we decide when neuromodulators may be beneficial.

I’ve had the privilege of caring for this patient for the past 15 years.🤍

One of my favorite moments in this video is when she says, “I know I’m going to walk out of here looking like myself... and this is exactly what I want.”

Those words capture the philosophy I’ve always hoped to bring to my patients. The best compliment I can receive is when someone tells me they still look like themselves - just a little more refreshed!

Thank you for trusting me and my team over the past 15 years. It has truly been a privilege to be part of your journey. ✨

“Aging is not something I’m trying to fight. I don’t want to erase my lines. I just want to feel refreshed and confident.”

For many people, that is the goal - not looking younger, but feeling like themselves.

After 15 years as a patient at Aesthetic Solutions, she shares why her approach to aesthetic medicine has always been about natural results, trust, and feeling confident without the pressure to change who she is.

As a mom, business owner, and someone with a full life, she isn’t looking to become someone else. She simply wants to look like herself.

One of my favorite moments in this video is when she says:

“I know I’m going to walk out of here looking like myself... and this is exactly what I want.”

This is what I believe aesthetic medicine should be about: enhancing confidence while honoring the person you already are.

I’m Dr. Sue Ellen Cox, founder and medical director of Aesthetic Solutions in Chapel Hill, NC. I’m grateful to care for patients who trust us to help them look and feel their best - while always staying true to who they are.

One of my favorite before-and-afters... and they just happen to be eleven years apart.✨

Over the past 11 years, we’ve thoughtfully combined lasers, energy-based devices, HA fillers, neuromodulators, biostimulators, and a consistent medical-grade skincare routine at home.

People often ask what the “secret” is to aging well. The truth is, it’s rarely one treatment. It’s a long-term partnership, a personalized plan, and making small, thoughtful decisions along the way!

Nonsurgical Solutions for Stretched or Sagging Earlobes - Aesthetic Solutions 07/24/2026

If you've noticed your earrings sitting lower than they used to, you're not imagining it.

Just like the rest of the face, earlobes lose collagen, volume, and elasticity over time. Years of sun exposure, the natural aging process, and even heavy earrings can all contribute to thinning, stretching, and sagging.

The good news? Surgery isn't always necessary.

For many patients, nonsurgical treatments can restore volume, improve support, and even enhance skin quality, depending on what's causing the concern.

In our latest blog, Dr. Ishii explains why earlobes change over time, the treatment options available, and when surgery may still be the best approach.

Three treatments. Incredible results. ✨

One of the most common questions we hear is, “How many treatments will I need?” The answer depends on the tattoo.

This patient achieved complete removal after just three treatments with the PicoSure Pro laser. Because this tattoo consisted of black outline ink with no shading, it was an ideal candidate for laser removal. Black ink absorbs laser energy especially well, making tattoos like this the most straightforward to treat.

To maximize each session, we incorporate a PFD patch into every tattoo removal treatment. This allows us to perform multiple laser passes in a single visit, helping make each treatment as effective as possible. We also offer several pain management options to keep patients comfortable throughout the process.

Every tattoo has its own story, and its own treatment plan!

Biostimulators vs. HA Fillers: What’s the Difference? - Aesthetic Solutions 07/16/2026

“What’s the difference between fillers and biostimulators?” is a question we hear all the time.

It’s a great question because, for many patients, anything delivered with a needle is simply an “injectable.” In reality, different injectable treatments are designed to accomplish very different things.

Choosing between an HA filler and a biostimulator isn’t about which one is “better.” These treatment categories are complementary - not competing! Each serves a different purpose, and many patients benefit from incorporating both into their treatment plan.

In this blog, Dr. Kamrani explains the differences between HA fillers and biostimulators and how we decide which option is the right fit.
