When Commissioner Gordon needs Batman, the night sky lights up with the silhouette of a flying, web-winged mammal.
When the owner of Luxury on Lovers needs a male guinea pig for a spa treatment, the darkness breaks with a massive glowing mustache. (It used to be a giant penis, but the City of Dallas put a stop to that after it caused mass confusion within the male stripper vigilante community.)
It’s been two years since we’ve been poked, prodded, waxed, frozen, lasered, exfoliated, massaged or otherwise beautified at the cozy Lovers Lane spa, so when we saw our signal flash across the horizon while doing naked laps in the hot tub, we knew there was an important new product or service to test.
And it proved to be our most important mission yet: Project Sculptra Aesthetic.
This relatively new injectable is our latest weapon in the fight against looking our real age. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra stimulates the skin’s own natural collagen production to restore inner structure and increase facial volume with results that improve gradually over time. You’ll actually look better a few months after the first visit.
Sculptra is administered by the vial and the general rule of thumb is one per decade of age. So if you’re in your 40s, expect to need four vials over two visits.
In the photo shown here, this 50-year-old man can be seen immediately after injection and again four months later. His skin appears tighter, there’s more definition and wrinkles have softened. Some of the other before/after photos are even more dramatic.
The procedure is virtually painless, especially in the hands of Luxury on Lovers’ new aesthetician, Samantha, one of the most sought-after injectors in the country and a registered nurse who actually trains doctors and other nurses in how to administer the product for the best results. Each vial normally costs between $750 to $900 at most med spas, but LOL has a special right now for just $600 per vial. That’s way cheaper than a face lift.
And with all the cocktails guys will be buying you at the bars, you’ll make up the cost in no time at all.
