What is the difference between Botox and Filler?
Botox helps to relax the muscle blocking the strength of the signal from the nerve to the muscle which creates a smoother and more relaxed look and Tissue Filler gives volume to an area by filling or plumping the wrinkles or deep depressions.

You should always remember to wear sunscreen to minimize the damage caused by the sun. Your skin will benefit from looking younger and healthier.
Will it be obvious I had work done?
Absolutely not! Our goal here at Bense SurgiSpa is to give you a natural look. We ask our clients to return for a 2 week follow-up appointment so we can assess your results. We feel that it is best to treat conservatively and have you return for further treatments, as necessary or directed. We would never want to over treat an area, leaving the patient waiting for the effect to wear off.
Whether you decide to tell your friends and family is a personal choice. Many of our clients tell us they received compliments about how well-rested or relaxed they looked.
Do you offer treatment packages?
