Wrinkle Relaxers

Wrinkle relaxers — BOTOX®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® — are purified proteins injected in very small amounts to relax the specific facial muscles that fold the skin. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego, results appear in two to ten days, occasionally up to fourteen, and typically last three to four months.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often made of hyaluronic acid, that add volume beneath the skin to smooth lines and restore facial contours lost to aging. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego we use Juvéderm® and Restylane® for lips, cheeks, under-eyes, nasolabial folds and jawline. Most last six months to two years.

Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss at Beauty Factory SD in San Diego combines GLP-1 receptor agonist medication with nutrition and exercise, supervised by a board-certified physician. Current studies show average body-weight reductions of up to 15% at 68 weeks with GLP-1 mono-agonists, and up to 22.5% at 72 weeks with GLP-1/GIP dual agonists.

Microneedling

Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body to produce new collagen and elastin as it heals. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is used to improve skin texture, acne scarring and fine lines. Most people need a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

IV Therapy & Injections

IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a drip, bypassing digestion. Beauty Factory SD in San Diego offers basic hydration therapy, targeted drips, NAD+ 250 mg infusions, and glutathione and B12 injections. Memberships and four-packs of basic hydration sessions are available on request.

Lip Fillers

Lip filler is hyaluronic acid gel injected into the lips to add volume, improve definition or correct asymmetry. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego a first treatment is usually a single syringe or less, results are visible immediately but settle over two weeks, and the filler typically lasts six to twelve months.

Time

30–45 min

Downtime

Swelling for 2–3 days

Cheek Fillers

Cheek filler restores volume to the mid-face, where fat pads thin and descend with age. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is used to rebuild cheek projection and support the tissue above the nasolabial folds and beneath the eyes. Results are immediate, settle within two weeks, and typically last twelve to eighteen months.

Time

30–45 min

Downtime

Minimal; bruising possible

Jawline Contouring

Jawline contouring uses firm hyaluronic acid filler placed along the mandible and chin to sharpen the border between the face and the neck. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is used to define a soft jawline, improve early jowling and balance a recessed chin. Results last twelve to eighteen months.

Time

30–60 min

Downtime

Minimal; bruising possible

Temple Fillers

Temple filler restores volume to the hollows at the sides of the forehead, above the cheekbone and beside the eye. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is used where temple hollowing makes the upper face look drawn and the brow appear to have dropped. Results are immediate and typically last twelve to eighteen months.

Time

20–30 min

Downtime

Minimal; bruising possible

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler to change how the nose is perceived — camouflaging a dorsal hump, straightening an apparent deviation or lifting a drooping tip. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it takes about fifteen minutes and lasts nine to eighteen months. It cannot make a nose smaller.

Neck Rejuvenation

Neck rejuvenation at Beauty Factory SD in San Diego addresses the neck non-surgically: neurotoxin to soften the vertical platysmal bands that stand out when the neck is tensed, and microneedling to improve crepey texture and fine horizontal lines. Loose skin and heavy fullness under the chin are not treatable by these methods.

Hair Loss Consultation

A hair loss consultation establishes why hair is being lost before anything is treated. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego this covers pattern and history, scalp examination, and where appropriate blood work for thyroid, iron and hormonal causes. The diagnosis determines the treatment, because several causes of hair loss are fully reversible and several are not.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil is a topical treatment for pattern hair loss that extends the growing phase of the hair cycle and increases blood flow to the follicle. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is used as first-line treatment for male and female pattern loss. It takes three to six months to show results and must be continued to maintain them.

Time

Applied at home, twice daily

Finasteride

Finasteride is a prescription tablet for male pattern hair loss that blocks conversion of testosterone to DHT, the hormone that miniaturises follicles in genetically susceptible men. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is prescribed after consultation, takes three to six months to show effect, and must be continued to maintain it.

Scalp Microneedling

Scalp microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, prompting a wound-healing response and improving absorption of topical treatment. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego it is used as an adjunct to minoxidil for pattern hair loss, over a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart, rather than on its own.

Topical Hair Treatments

Topical hair treatments are products applied directly to the scalp as part of a hair loss plan. At Beauty Factory SD in San Diego this covers medicated topicals such as minoxidil, treatments for scalp conditions that worsen shedding, and supportive care. Which are appropriate depends on the diagnosis made at consultation.

Vitamin Injections

Vitamin injections deliver a nutrient intramuscularly rather than through the digestive tract. Beauty Factory SD in San Diego offers B12 and glutathione injections. An injection takes a few minutes with no downtime, and it is most clearly useful where absorption through the gut is impaired or a genuine deficiency has been identified.

Peptide Therapy

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the body. Peptide therapy at Beauty Factory SD in San Diego begins with a consultation with a physician, because this is a category where regulatory status varies considerably between individual compounds and where marketing claims routinely outrun the evidence.

Detox Programs

A detox program at Beauty Factory SD in San Diego is a structured short-term plan combining hydration, nutrition changes and supportive treatment. The liver and kidneys already clear toxins continuously and no program replaces them — what a program offers is structure, hydration and a supervised reset of eating habits.

Consultation and review

Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional counselling at Beauty Factory SD in San Diego builds an eating plan around your medical history, goals and current habits. On the physician-supervised weight-management program it exists chiefly to protect muscle mass: appetite is reduced by the medication, and without adequate protein a considerable proportion of the weight lost is lean tissue.

Initial plan and review

Wellness Consultation

A wellness consultation at Beauty Factory SD in San Diego is a structured assessment with a physician covering history, current health, medications, sleep, activity and goals, with blood work where indicated. It is the appointment for people who are not sure which treatment they need, and it frequently concludes that the answer is not a treatment.

Before you book

The practical bits

All FAQs →

Do I need a credit card to book?

Yes. Beauty Factory SD Aesthetic Medicine requires a credit card on file in order to make an appointment. The card secures the appointment; it is not a payment for the treatment.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments can be cancelled up to two days in advance. Cancellations inside that window, and appointments not attended, are subject to a no-show fee.

Does it cost anything to book?

Some treatments require a deposit to hold the appointment — $50 where it applies. Whether one is needed for the treatment you are booking, and the exact amount, is confirmed with you before anything is charged. There is no obligation to book a treatment at the end of your consultation, and if we think the treatment you have asked about is the wrong one for your concern, we will say so.

How much do treatments cost?

Cost depends on the treatment and on how much product your result requires — injectables in particular are priced by the amount used, which is determined at your face rather than off a list. We quote you the full price before treatment begins, at the consultation that produces the quote.

Do you offer a discount for new patients?

Yes. First-time clients receive a discount. There is also a promotional first-month rate for the medical weight-management program that includes consultation with a board-certified physician.

Who performs the treatments?

A physician and a nurse practitioner. Beauty Factory SD is a medical practice — injections are performed by licensed clinicians, not by non-medical staff.

Are the results permanent?

No, and no non-surgical injectable treatment is. Neuromodulators typically last three to four months. Dermal fillers typically last six months to two years depending on the product and on your own skin. Maintaining a result means repeating the treatment.
