We will not combine with other procedures in the same area — for example, you cannot get a thread lift and neuromodulators in your brow at the same appointment.

However, you can combine procedures in different treatment areas during the same office visit. A thread lift in the neck and tox in the brow is OK.

There isn’t a right time to begin thinking about rejuvenating aesthetics treatments — that’s up to you entirely. But there are common changes all humans experience as we age, and here a few things we recommend you consider:

By our early twenties, collagen production starts to diminish we begin to lose bone density in our faces.

Aesthetic medicine is the practice of using (non-surgical) non-invasive and minimally-invasive procedures to change physical features on the face and body.

North Bay offers several FDA-approved medical treatments including dermal fillers, neurorelaxers, deoxycholic acid, microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, and minimally invasive PDO thread lifts. We utilize these tools to change, augment and/or slim your face, and for reduction of wrinkles and mitigation of sagging or loss of fullness. 

Injectables, intravenous lines, and any procedures requiring needles through the skin are likely to have some mild stinging, pinching, swelling, and/or discomfort.  

Depending on the treatment you choose, we may use injectable or topical numbing agents, such as lidocaine, to minimize pain. Ice packs will be available to you for preparation prior to injections.
