Some friendships are simply meant to be.
Sixteen years ago, Michelle and Aimee met at a library Book Babies event. They happened to live near each other and were both new moms, navigating the joys and challenges of early motherhood while pausing their careers. Michelle was a chemical engineer, and Aimee was a speech therapist. What started as a chance meeting quickly became a lasting friendship.
During Dr. Brigham's medical residency, Michelle was a steady source of support for Aimee, and over the years, their friendship grew.
Today, that friendship is at the heart of Aluma.
If you've visited the practice, you've likely been welcomed by one of these two smiling faces. They are often the first to greet patients, answer questions, and help make your visit feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door.
At Aluma, exceptional care extends beyond the treatment room.
We're grateful that life brought Michelle and Aimee together all those years ago, and even more grateful that our patients get to experience their kindness, professionalism, and warmth every day.

The fear of looking “overdone” or unnatural is one of the most common concerns surrounding dermal fillers, understandably so.
The key to avoiding overfilled, obvious outcomes lies in both technique and philosophy.
At Aluma, Dr. Brigham takes a moderate, strategic approach:
1. Enhance structure and support
2. Maintain natural proportions
3. Use the right product for the right area
4. Know your anatomy - WELL

Lip filler results on the day of treatment can look beautifully refreshed right away. However, it’s important to remember that swelling is visible on the day of treatment and is often more noticeable the next day. ✨
These before-and-after photos were taken on the same day as the procedure, so the lips might still appear fuller or more swollen within the first 24–48 hours as your body responds naturally.
Some patients, especially older individuals with thinner skin, might also experience bruising during healing. Both bruising and swelling are temporary and usually improve considerably within the first week.
At Aluma Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Brigham specializes in personalized, natural-looking lip enhancements and educates patients about the healing process.

Last month, I celebrated another birthday — and one of the things I felt most grateful for was choosing to start aesthetic treatments in my 30s.
This 8-year time lapse is personal for me. My “before” photo was taken about two years after having my second child. I was tired, I looked tired, and I didn’t quite feel like myself.
Over time, thoughtful treatments have helped support my skin, collagen, facial balance, and confidence. And honestly, they’ve supported my disposition too.
I created Aluma Aesthetic Medicine with women in mind. So many of us give and give, like The Giving Tree, until we sometimes feel like the stump at the end of it all.
For me, aesthetic medicine has always been about feeling restored, supported, and more like myself again.
Thank goodness for dermal fillers, collagen-booster treatments, and thoughtful maintenance over time. And, of course, my husband - Dr. B- too. 🤍
Age on your terms.
That’s what Aluma is here for.

Today we wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes appreciation for KJ and all she does to help Aluma run smoothly.
From rooming patients and capturing chart photos to scribing for Dr. Brigham, KJ plays such an important role in each appointment.
Her support allows Dr. Brigham to stay fully present and focused on what matters most - your treatment, the subtle details, and your results.
We’re so grateful for all the care she brings to Aluma every day.
We used to think 9 vials of filler sounded like a lot.
The truth? It is—and it isn’t.
It’s too much for someone who doesn’t need it, and exactly right for someone who does.
Thoughtful filler treatment isn’t about the number of syringes. It’s about understanding the product, the placement, and the plan.

Dr. B’s Lip Strategy 👄
Beautiful lips are never just about adding volume.
With lip filler treatments, Dr. B considers the golden ratio and principles of facial harmony. Equally important, he evaluates your natural proportions and original lip shape. The aim isn’t to produce identical lips for everyone but to achieve results that are balanced, natural, and personalized.
Because youthful-looking lips depend on more than the lips themselves, treatment often includes evaluating the surrounding support structures that frame and support the lip area.
✨ cheeks
✨ temples
✨ marionettes
✨ nasal aperture (the area beside the corners of the nose)
As we age, volume loss and structural changes in these areas can affect lip shape, support, projection, and overall facial balance.
The best lip filler is anatomical and individualized. 🤍

Subtle, balanced, and beautifully refreshed ✨
This before-and-after showcases Dr. Brigham's full-face approach using our 5-vial Juvederm package.
By strategically restoring volume and support throughout the face, we were able to create:
• a lifted appearance
• brighter, more rested-looking eyes
• natural facial balance
The goal was to help her look refreshed, supported, and like the best version of herself. 🤍
Thoughtful filler placement can create incredibly natural results when the face is treated holistically instead of one area at a time.

Before booking a consultation, you may be asking yourself, “How much Sculptra do I need?”
While a common guideline is one vial per decade of life, it's not always the accurate formula.
