- THE PERSPIRE - BOTOX FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING & HYPERHIDROSIS
At Contour Collection, we understand the impact that excessive sweating can have on your confidence, clothes, and daily life. If you've been struggling with hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating, we're here to help. Our expert practitioners offer a simple and straightforward solution that can significantly reduce sweating and give you back control over your life, so naturally we call it The Perspire . WHAT IS THE PERSPIRE FOR HYPERHIDROSIS? Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating, often beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. This condition affects millions of people worldwide, leading to embarrassment, anxiety, and even social isolation. Hyperhidrosis can occur in various areas of the body, including the underarms, hands, feet, and face, making it difficult for individuals to engage in daily activities without feeling self-conscious. HOW NEUROMODULATORS CAN HELP Neuromodulators, such as Botox or Dysport, are commonly known for their cosmetic applications but have proven to be a game-changer in treating hyperhidrosis. The same neurotoxin that relaxes facial muscles to reduce wrinkles can also block the nerve signals responsible for excessive sweating. When injected into the affected area, the neuromodulators works by temporarily preventing sweat glands from producing sweat. WHAT IS THE TREATMENT LIKE? When you schedule The Perspire, our team will take the time to sit down and have a consultation. The treatment itself is quick and takes only 30 minutes during which our practitioners will administer the Botox injections into the targeted areas, effectively blocking the nerve signals responsible for excessive sweating. The amount of units administered will depend on each individual but typically, a minimum of 50 units of Botox are used on each side. Most clients report minimal discomfort during the treatment, with any sensations typically described as mild pinpricks. If needed, our practitioners can apply a topical numbing cream to enhance your comfort. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOLLOWING TREATMENT? Following your treatment, you may experience temporary muscle weakness or localized bruising, but these effects will resolve quickly. Results will be noticed within 2 weeks and can last up to 6 months. Additionally, our team will be in touch with you two weeks following your treatment to assess progress, address concerns, and determine further treatment needs to ensure your experience with us was nothing less than perfect! WHY WE LOVE IT: Quick and easy treatment with long-lasting results Boosts confidence (and dry armpits) Keeps sweaty handshakes at bay Less runs to the dry cleaners for stained shirts If you're tired of the discomfort and embarrassment caused by hyperhidrosis, Contour Collection is here to help.

- THE TRAPS - SLIM THE SHOULDERS & EASE PAIN WITH "BARBIE BOTOX"
If you’re suffering from neck, shoulder, or upper back pain due to a strained or overused trapezius muscles, you're not alone. This type of pain is a common problem for many people, especially those who spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer or doing other activities that require them to hold their shoulders in a raised position. Fortunately, there is a treatment that can provide temporary relief from this type of pain: trap botox, or what we cheekily like to call The Traps here at Contour Collection. In this blog, we'll delve into how The Traps can alleviate pain in the trapezius muscle and even slim down your shoulders for a more elegant look. LET’S TALK TRAPEZIUS MUSCLES The trapezius muscles are a pair of large triangular muscles located on the back of the neck and upper back that extend down to the middle of the spine and across to the shoulders. They play an important role in movement and stability of the shoulder blades and neck, as well as in maintaining good posture. These muscles are commonly used in everyday activities such as lifting, pulling, and reaching, and can become strained or overused leading to pain and discomfort. WHAT IS TRAP BOTOX? Botox and Dysport are the two most popular neurotoxin treatments that involve injecting botulinum toxin into the skin. Neurotoxin works by relaxing the muscles in the treated area, which can help to smooth out wrinkles and give the skin a more youthful appearance. While these treatments have been used for many years to treat wrinkles, there is a new trend in the world of cosmetic treatments: trap ‘tox. This treatment involves injecting Botox into the trapezius muscle, which can reduce its size and provide temporary relief from pain and discomfort. Not only does trap tox help with reducing pain and functional relief, but it can also elongate your neck and create a straighter, more elegant shoulder contour by slimming overactive, large muscles. However, it's important to note that this treatment is only suitable for those with overdeveloped trapezius muscles. If you're considering trap botox, feel free to schedule a New Client Consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE LIKE? At your appointment, our expert providers will take the time to sit down and have a detailed consultation with you to assess your trapezius muscles and discuss your desired outcomes. The treatment itself is quick and takes only 10-20 minutes with minimal discomfort and zero downtime. The amount of units administered will depend on the size and strength of your trapezius muscle, but typically, 50-75 units of neurotoxin are used on each side. DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE? While we do not accept insurance at Contour, sometimes insurance companies will cover this type of functional treatment. We recommend calling them ahead of time to confirm your benefits and coverage. If your insurance does cover this treatment, we are happy to provide all the necessary paperwork for you to submit for reimbursement. WHY WE LOVE IT: Relieves tension and pain Provides functional relief Slims overactive trap muscles Creates a straighter, more elegant shoulder contour WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOLLOWING TREATMENT? Results can be felt within 2 weeks and can last up to 5 months. You can expect to experience a reduction in pain and an improvement in your range of motion. For optimal slimming, we recommend 1-3 treatments for desired results. It's important to note that trap tox is not a cure for trapezius muscle pain, but rather a temporary solution that can provide relief while the underlying cause of the pain is addressed. Patients should work with their healthcare provider to identify the root cause of their pain and develop a comprehensive treatment plan that includes trap tox as a complementary treatment. The Traps, or trap 'tox, is a revolutionary treatment that can not only provide temporary relief from neck, shoulder, and upper back pain but also create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. With minimal discomfort and a quick procedure time, it's a convenient and efficient solution for those who are struggling with overdeveloped trapezius muscles. At Contour Collection, our skilled providers are committed to helping you achieve your desired outcomes while providing the utmost care and attention. If you're interested in learning more about The Traps or any of our other treatments, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with us today. If you have any questions about Trap 'Tox, we are here to help! You can reach us at (720) 629-8921, or you can book a New Client Consultation to learn more. We're happy to answer any questions you may have and guide you through the process.
- SCULPTRA - THE COLLAGEN SUPERPOWER EVERYONE SHOULD BE GETTING
Sculptra is all the rage these days. But what is it? This revolutionary treatment is nothing short of a Collagen Superpower - a chemical collagen stimulator known as Poly-L-Lactic Acid that offers lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation. While some may assume Sculptra is solely for correcting facial wrinkles and fine lines, there are myriad benefits that make it a treatment worth considering. WHAT IS SCULPTRA? Although it is often grouped with dermal fillers due to its volumizing effects, Sculptra is in a league of its own, having been available for over two decades and gaining popularity in recent years. The reality is, we lose approximately 1% of our collagen every year, resulting in skin laxity, thinning, and increased fine lines. This is where Sculptra shines and why everyone should be getting Sculptra. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE LIKE? When you arrive for your appointment, one of our expert providers will begin by sitting down with you for a thorough consultation and assessment. Together, you'll discuss the best placement for Sculptra to achieve the results you desire. During the procedure, which involves 8-10 injections in your lateral and mid-face, you may experience some mild discomfort. But don't worry, our providers are equipped with several techniques to ensure your comfort and will do their very best to make you feel at ease throughout the treatment. WHERE CAN YOU INJECT SCULPTRA? Sculptra is primarily used to add volume to areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, and chin, to restore youthful contours. Unlike traditional fillers, which add immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates your skin’s own natural collagen production over time, providing gradual and long-lasting results. Here are the most popular areas for Sculptra injections: Cheeks Temples Jawline Smile Lines Neck Décolleté Hairline WHY WE LOVE SCULPTRA: It’s Long-Lasting Unlike fillers that last only a few months, Sculptra can last up to five years (after following a treatment series). This is because Sculptra stimulates the body’s own collagen production, which gradually improves the skin’s texture and volume over time. It’s Safe Sculptra is made of a biocompatible material called poly-L-lactic acid, which has been used for many years in various medical applications. It is a safe and well-tolerated treatment that has been approved by the FDA. It’s Versatile Sculptra is not just for correcting wrinkles and fine lines. It can also be used to add volume to areas that have lost volume due to aging or other factors, such as the temples, cheeks, in front of the ears and jawline. Sculptra can even be used topically after a microneedling treatment for acne scars and superficial collagen production. It Provides Natural-Looking Results Sculptra provides natural-looking results because it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production process. Unlike other fillers that can look unnatural, Sculptra creates a subtle and gradual improvement in the skin’s texture and volume. We love that some practitioners call Sculptra “the Colorado aesthetic” because of its undetectable result. It’s a Non-Surgical Treatment Sculptra is a non-surgical treatment that requires minimal downtime. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. While there is a possibility of bruising, most people can return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment. It’s a Preventative Treatment Sculptra is not just for correcting existing signs of aging. It can also be used as a preventative treatment to maintain the skin’s youthful appearance and to keep up with the 1% of inevitable collagen loss. By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra can help slow the gravitational pull of the aging process. HOW MUCH DOES SCULPTRA COST? The standard treatment of Sculptra is 1 vial per lateral side of the face; however, if you are looking to add on other areas such as the temples, smile lines, jawline, neck, décolleté etc., an additional 1-2 vials is recommended. Each vial of Sculptra is $800, so the range in cost is $1,600-$3,200. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOLLOWING TREATMENT? While you can begin to see results after four weeks, the true potential of Sculptra is realized at the one-year mark, and the benefits can last up to five years with a series of three treatments. However, to ensure no unwanted side effects, it's crucial to adhere to the 5-5-5 rule: gently massage the treated area for five minutes, five times a day, for five days following your treatment, using even smoothing, circular motions. FINAL THOUGHTS Sculptra is a versatile and long-lasting treatment that everyone should consider. It is safe, provides natural-looking results, and can be used to correct various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss. If you are interested in Sculptra, schedule a consultation at Contour Collection and our providers can assess and provide a treatment plan specifically for you! If you have any questions about Sculptra, we are here to help! You can reach us at (720) 629-8921, or you can book a New Client Consultation to learn more. We're happy to answer any questions you may have and guide you through the process.
- AQUAGOLD - SAY HELLO TO YOUR GLOWIEST SKIN YET
AquaGold is a truly customizable micro-infusion of a blend of skin hero ingredients: neurotoxin, hyaluronic acid, pure Vitamin C, and our client-favorite, glow-giving goodness, Exosomes . The ingredients are stamped into the most superficial layer of the skin to smooth the most superficial fine lines, shrink pores, inactivate sweat glands, reduce redness and sebum production, promote and even complexion, stimulate collagen, and brighten, plump & glow up the skin. WHAT IS AQUAGOLD AND HOW DOES IT WORK? AquaGold provides the benefits of microneedling, stem-cell derived Exosomes, neurotoxin, hyaluronic acid, and pure Vitamin C all in one treatment. The device used for the procedure is made of twenty 24 karat gold needles that are thinner than human hair and is able to deliver 2,400 microchannels per minute. The needles are designed to penetrate the skin at a shallow depth, delivering the customized mixture of ingredients directly into the dermis layer. The result is a more even, brighter complexion with increased hydration, reduced fine lines, and improved skin texture. WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT ENTAIL? Our AquaGold treatments are a simple and painless procedure that take approximately 30 minutes. Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The handheld device is then gently stamped over the skin, creating tiny punctures that allow for the infusion of the hero-ingredient serum. Our proprietary AquaGold serums are customized to meet the unique needs of each client. The blend typically includes hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants that help to hydrate and protect the skin. The procedure is suitable for all skin types and can be used to address a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, facial sweating, uneven texture, redness, large pores and dryness. WHAT KIND OF AQUAGOLD TREATMENTS DO YOU OFFER? We offer two AquaGold treatments: AquaGold and AquaGold Glow. Both treatments include neurotoxin, hyaluronic acid, and pure, injectable-grade Vitamin C. AquaGold Glow takes it a step further with the addition of Exosomes for enhanced skin rejuvenation. These treatments are ideal for weddings, special events, or red-carpet moments. For long-term benefits, we recommend AquaGold Glow 2-4 times per year to support collagen maintenance. Read on to discover why AquaGold is one of our favorites and explore all its incredible benefits! WHY WE LOVE AQUAGOLD: Improves Skin Texture: improves skin texture by increasing collagen production and promoting cell turnover Reduces Fine Lines: reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by hydrating the skin and firming the most superficial layer Enhances Skin Hydration: hydrates the skin with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that helps to retain moisture in the skin and plump fine lines Creates a Brighter, More Even Complexion: evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Decreases Sebum Production: regulates oil production in the skin, which can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and minimize the occurrence of acne breakouts Minimizes Facial Sweating: decreases activity of the sweat glands, resulting in 90% less facial sweating HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST? The AquaGold Glow neurotoxin results last approximately 6-8 weeks, while the Exosomes will continue to stimulate collagen over the next 12-18 months. Optimal results will be seen on days 3-5 following treatment. Keep this in mind if you’re planning the treatment before a major event! Whether you’re getting ready for a big event, or just want to treat yourself, our AquaGold Glow will make you feel like the a-lister that you are!

- DISSOLVING MIGRATED LIP FILLER - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Looking to perfect your pout with lip filler ? While the aesthetics industry is constantly evolving with new technologies and products, it's important to understand that not all dermal fillers are created equal, especially when it comes to the lips. Lip filler migration is a common issue that can lead to an unnatural and puffy appearance, but luckily, there's a solution: hyaluronidase. In this blog post, we'll dive into the details of this enzyme and how it can help dissolve unwanted lip filler, as well as discuss the best product options for achieving the perfect pout. So if you're looking to wipe the slate clean and start fresh with your lip filler journey, read on! A LITTLE BACKGROUND The world of aesthetics is in a constant state of flux. As technology and science continue to advance, so too does the aesthetics industry. Back when lip fillers first gained popularity, there were only a handful of dermal filler options for injectors to choose from, and there was no real consensus on the best lip-specific injection techniques. Fortunately, we now have specialized dermal fillers that are soft, moveable, and have a lower water retention rate. As a result, they're less likely to migrate. Here at Contour Collection, we believe that only Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Kysse should be used for lip fillers. WHAT IS LIP FILLER MIGRATION? Lip filler migration is a hot topic that has been frequently discussed on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Many people have noticed that after layering lip fillers, they experience an unwanted puffy appearance in the area above the top lip. This is because the dermal filler may have been placed incorrectly or may not have been the best product choice. Some injectors have even placed lip fillers in the upper lip to try to prevent smoker's lines, which is a common type of vertical lip lines. However, a puffy upper lip is not natural and can be quite undesirable. Full stop. WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR DISSOLVING MIGRATED LIP FILLER? Thankfully, there is a solution to lip filler migration: hyaluronidase. This enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid, the primary ingredient in dermal fillers. Although dissolving lip fillers can be uncomfortable, we take steps to make the process as painless as possible. We begin the procedure by applying a topical numbing cream containing 20% benzocaine, 10% lidocaine, and 10% tetracaine. Then, we inject our own proprietary dissolving cocktail that includes hyaluronidase and some additional key ingredients to minimize discomfort. The procedure takes about 20 minutes, and within 24-48 hours, the upper lip will appear smaller and the lip border will become sharper and more defined. Dissolving migrated lip filler will continue for about two weeks, which is why we wait a minimum of two weeks before adding any new hyaluronic acid to the area. If you're experiencing lip filler migration and want to start fresh, our skilled injectors at Contour Collection can help. Simply book a consultation, and our providers will create a customized plan that suits your needs and preferences. Starting fresh means you'll benefit from the best product choice, best injector, and best hyaluronic acid placement. So, why wait? Book your consultation today and achieve the perfect pout! If you have any questions about The Chissle , we are here to help! You can reach us at (720) 629-8921, or book a New Client Consultation to learn more.

- THE CHISSLE - HOW TO ACHIEVE A SNATCHED JAWLINE
Chin and jawline fillers have been gaining popularity in recent years, as people seek to enhance their facial contours and achieve a more defined and sculpted appearance without having to resort to invasive procedures such as surgery. At Contour Collection, we refer to this non-surgical treatment as The Chissle , a term that we coined ourselves - and yes, we're aware it's not spelled the traditional way! 😜 WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER? Chin and jawline fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps to hydrate and plump the skin. When injected into the chin or jawline, HA fillers add volume and definition, helping to create a more angular and chiseled look. For The Chissle, we use Volux as it’s much denser than other products, making it perfect for adding volume back into the shape and structure of the lower face. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE LIKE? The Chissle is a fast and straightforward treatment that only takes around 45 minutes to complete. First, our expert injectors will guide you through the procedure and discuss your desired results, ensuring that you feel at ease with the process. Afterwards, our injectors will carefully administer the filler using a small needle, artfully shaping and sculpting your jawline and chin to create the desired look. While there may be some slight discomfort during the procedure, most people find it tolerable, and we have several techniques to help you relax. Following the treatment, you may experience some swelling and bruising, but this should subside within a few days. WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED RESULTS? One of the great things about The Chissle is the long-lasting results. The effects typically last 1-2 years, although this can vary depending on the individual. If you want to continue adding more definition to your jawline, we recommend coming in 1 year after your first treatment and layering on a second treatment. Of course, it’s important to remember that if you want to return to your natural jawline, you can do so by allowing the filler to wear off naturally. WHY WE LOVE THE CHISSLE? Creates projection and a snatched side profile 🔥 Builds definition + contour Enhances the chin Optimizes facial balance + structure HOW MUCH DOES THE CHISSLE COST? If a softer and more feminine look is desired, we suggest opting for a single syringe of Volux at the cost of $850. However, if a sharper and more defined appearance is preferred, we recommend two syringes of Volux, totaling $1,700. Our providers will help you decide what amount is needed for the desired result you are hoping for, based on individual anatomy. The Chissle Before & Afters: Chin and jawline fillers can be an excellent option for those looking to enhance their facial contours and achieve a more defined and sculpted appearance. They are non-surgical, provide immediate results, and are safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. If you are considering chin and jawline fillers, be sure to do your research and choose a practitioner who can help you achieve the results you're looking for.

- BOTOX VS. DYSPORT - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Looking to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines? Botox and Dysport are the two most popular neuromodulators on the market today. In fact, they're the most extensively studied and longest-lasting options among the five that are available (including Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify). Both treatments are derived from the same type of botulinum type A and can keep your skin looking fabulous for up to six months at the FDA-approved dosage. However, there are some key differences between Botox vs Dysport that may make one treatment a better choice for you than the other. WHAT ARE NEUROMODULATORS (BOTOX VS DYSPORT)? First, let's talk about what Botox and Dysport are and how they work. Both treatments are injectable neurotoxins that work by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. By temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the treated area, the wrinkles and fine lines caused by those muscles become less noticeable. However, at Contour Collection, we approach neuromodulators differently by utilizing them to manipulate muscles to achieve specific desired outcomes, as opposed to just chasing fine lines and wrinkles. In order to help you determine which option best suits your needs, let's explore each treatment in more detail below. WHAT IS BOTOX? Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA): Allergan is the proud owner of Botox, which received FDA approval way back in 1989 – making it green-lit for more indications than Dysport. Botox is contains a protein called Albumin, which is naturally present in every human body. As a result, allergic reactions to Botox are pretty rare. Keep in mind that it takes a little bit longer for Botox to settle in (around 14 days), but it's highly concentrated and stays put right where it's placed. This makes it ideal for small areas that require precise placement. WHAT IS DYSPORT? Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA): Dysport, which is owned by Galderma, was FDA approved for the furrow area in 2009. Dysport is made with the milk protein, Lactose. Anyone who has a severe lactose allergy should avoid Dysport. Dysport is made of a much smaller molecule which leads to results settling in much quicker (around 5 days) and the molecules spreading much wider. A wider spread is wonderful for a cohesive result in large surface areas (the forehead) and not as desirable in smaller areas (the crow’s feet). IS ONE BETTER THAN THE OTHER? At Contour Collection, we adore both Botox and Dysport equally! However, we understand that every individual is unique, and what works for one may not be the best choice for another. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your unique needs before recommending a treatment. Whether you're a better fit for Dysport or Botox, we're here to help you find the perfect fit. WHAT IS THE COST OF BOTOX & DYSPORT? When it comes to pricing, both Botox and Dysport are the same price here at Contour Collection. However, it's worth noting that a bottle of Dysport contains 300 units, while a bottle of Botox only contains 100 units. Keep in mind that 1 unit of Botox is equivalent to 3 units of Dysport. While Dysport costs $4 per unit, you'll need 3 times as many units to achieve the same results as Botox, which costs $12 per unit. If you have any questions about Botox or Dysport , we are here to help! You can reach us at (720) 629-8921, or book a New Client Consultation to learn more. We're happy to answer any questions you may have and guide you through the process.
- THE POUT - HOW TO HYDRATE AND ENHANCE YOUR LIPS
Define and enhance the size and shape of your lips for that pout-perfect look. At Contour Collection, we offer a non-invasive procedure that enhances, hydrates and volumizes your lips, so naturally we call it The Pout. Lip filler has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more people seek to achieve fuller, plumper lips. There are a number of reasons why someone might choose to get lip filler. For some people, it may be a matter of boosting their confidence and feeling better about their appearance. For others, it may be a way of restoring lost volume to the lips that occurs as a natural part of the aging process. Let's dive in to what lip filler is all about. WHAT IS LIP FILLER? Lip filler is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a gel-like substance into the lips to enhance their shape and volume. The filler is made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps to keep the skin hydrated. WHAT IS THE POUT PROCEDURE LIKE? Our lip filler procedure is a fast and straightforward process that only takes around 30 minutes to complete. First, our expert injectors will apply a potent topical numbing cream to your lips, which will remain in place for 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, our team will guide you through the procedure, ensuring that you feel at ease with the process. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, our injectors will carefully administer the filler using a small needle, artfully shaping and sculpting your lips to create the desired look. While there may be some slight discomfort during the procedure, most people find it tolerable, and we have several techniques to help you relax. Following the treatment, you may experience some swelling and bruising, but this should subside within a few days. HOW LONG DOES LIP FILLER LAST? One of the great things about lip filler is that it is a non-permanent procedure. The effects of the filler typically last for 6-18 months, after which time the body naturally breaks down and absorbs the filler. This means that if you are unhappy with the results or simply want to return to your natural lips, you can do so by either dissolving the filler with hylenex or allowing it to wear off naturally. ARE THERE ANY RISKS WITH LIP FILLER? Of course, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consider the potential risks and side effects of lip filler. In some cases, there may be an allergic reaction to the filler, which can cause swelling and other symptoms. Whenever dermal filler is involved there is a rare risk of a vascular occlusion. Our injectors are trained with techniques to avoid this and are equipped with protocols to treat one. There is also a risk of infection or other complications, although these are relatively rare when the procedure is performed by a trained professional. WHAT TYPES OF LIP FILLER DO YOU OFFER? At Contour Collection, we take great pride in our selection of lip fillers, which are carefully chosen based on their exceptional quality and effectiveness. Restylane Kysse and Juvederm Volbella are our top picks for achieving beautiful, natural-looking lips. While we do offer Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus, we feel it's important to advise against using them for lip augmentation due to their potential for migration and unnatural appearance. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best possible results, and we believe that starts with using only the highest quality products. WHY WE LOVE IT: Enhances lip shape Adds hydration Creates a youthful pout Optimizes facial balance Makes putting on lipstick the best thing ever HOW MUCH DOES LIP FILLER COST? At Contour Collection, we offer our clients the choice of The Petite Pout (a half syringe for $500) or The Pout (a full syringe for $700) when it comes to lip fillers. It's essential to keep in mind that the amount of product in one syringe is less than a teaspoon, making it actually a very small quantity. For those seeking to improve lip softness and hydration, we suggest starting with The Petite Pout. For those seeking to enhance lip shape and volume, we suggest starting with The Pout to achieve optimal results. Overall, lip filler can be a great way to enhance your appearance and feel more confident about your lips. If you are considering this procedure, be sure to do your research and find a qualified professional who can help you achieve the look you want while minimizing the risks and side effects. If you have any questions about The Pout, we are here to help! You can reach us at (720) 629-8921, or book a New Client Consultation to learn more.

- THE PERK - SWEET & SIMPLE TREATMENT FOR LIPS & CHEEKS
Sweet & simple treatment that will make you feel like you have your best outfit on. Looking to enhance your natural beauty and highlight your best features? At Contour Collection, we have a range of filler treatment packages to bring out the best in your facial features. Ainsley’s personal favorite is The Perk : a sweet and simple treatment that focuses on your lips and cheeks, making you feel refreshed and beautiful. FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT DERMAL FILLER Made with hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in your body, filler subtly adds volume, smoothes away lines, and beautifully enhances your facial features. Each molecule of hyaluronic acid attracts 1000x its weight in water - making it the ultimate plumping molecule. When injected under the skin, filler "fills" in the spaces created by your body's loss of collagen, leaving you with a refreshed, youthful appearance. Filler provides instant results with minimal downtime making it a quick and easy in-office procedure. WHY IS FILLER IMPORTANT FOR AGING? When it comes to aging, it's not just wrinkles that can give away your age - facial volume loss is just as noticeable. It is natural for our faces to undergo changes as we age. Along with lines and wrinkles, we might also experience a loss of volume that can make our cheeks look gaunt and our lips appear thinner. Unfortunately, everything seems to start sagging too! Over time, facial fat that used to be evenly distributed can shift, leaving some areas with too little fat (like the cheeks) and others with too much (like the smile lines and around the mouth). But that's not all - collagen, our body's most abundant protein, also plays a crucial role in keeping our skin plump and firm. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness that can make us look older than we feel. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to combat these changes and help your skin look its best. WHAT IS THE PERK? This sweet & simple lip & cheek filler treatment will make you feel like you have your best outfit on! Lip and cheek fillers are important because they can help enhance and restore volume to these key areas of the face, which often experience a loss of fullness as we age. By injecting filler into the lips or cheeks, we can create a plumper, more youthful look that will help you feel more confident and refreshed. WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED RESULTS? The Perk treatment is designed to enhance and restore volume to your cheeks and lips using dermal filler injections. Dosage can vary depending on your desired results, typically ranging from 2 to 5 syringes. You'll notice an immediate difference in your appearance, although some mild swelling may occur for up to 4-5 days, and there may be slight bruising that lasts for up to 2 weeks. To ensure the best results, it's essential to minimize strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours after treatment and apply ice as needed. Our injector will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and be available to answer any questions you may have, so you can feel confident and comfortable throughout the process. WHY WE LOVE THE PERK? Highlights cheekbone definition and a contoured side profile Optimizes facial balance + structure Restores volume loss to the mid-face and helps prevent gravity by lifting nasolabial folds Enhances lip shape and adds hydration Creates a more youthful pout HOW MUCH DOES THE PERK COST? At Contour Collection, we personalize each treatment to fit your unique needs and desired results. Our expert injectors will work with you to determine the optimal amount of filler required for your cheeks and lips to achieve the look you want. Typically, The Perk ranges from $1,300 to $2,300, depending on the volume of filler needed. However, we understand that everyone's situation is different, which is why we offer free 30-minute consultations to help determine the exact number of syringes you need to achieve your desired outcome.
