By MODE Aesthetics and Wellness · Reviewed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Published 2026-09-11 Why do microneedling and laser results sometimes fade faster or heal slower than they used to? Often the reason is hormonal. At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, serving DC Ranch and Paradise Valley, Heather Cyr, LME, CLT, builds the skin plan and Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, leads the hormone side, so the two are planned together. At a glance Estrogen receptors in skin decline from the onset of menopause; estrogen supports collagen synthesis, elastic fibers, and the skin barrier. Declining estrogen is associated with reduced skin collagen, thinning, and slower wound healing. Treatments that depend on healing, such as SkinPen microneedling, are where a slower response first shows. A Skin Health Consultation with Heather Cyr, LME, CLT, or Sara Espinoza, LME, CLT, is $150, fully redeemable toward products or treatment. Hormone care at MODE is led by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, with ...

By Torey Varner, RN · Reviewed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Published 2026-08-27 Do men need more Botox than women? Sometimes, but the plan follows muscle strength and brow position, not gender. At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, Botox is mapped and placed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, or Torey Varner, RN, at $13 per unit.

By MODE Aesthetics and Wellness · Reviewed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Published 2026-09-29 What does regenerative actually mean for skin? Treatments that ask your skin to make more of its own collagen, so the change is gradual. At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, Heather Cyr, LME, CLT, and Sara Espinoza, LME, CLT, plan BBL HEROic, Moxi, SkinPen microneedling, and Lilium Pure Advanced Biologics as a series with a review point. At a glance Regenerative means supporting the skin so it repairs and rebuilds itself, not a device or a one time correction. SkinPen microneedling: controlled micro injuries that trigger new collagen and elastin; most patients do three to six sessions four to six weeks apart. Moxi: Sciton's 1927 nm fractional laser, used across all skin types for tone, texture, pores, early pigment, and fine lines. BBL HEROic: Sciton's broadband light for pigmentation, redness, and sun damage; three to four sessions, then maintenance every six to twe...

By MODE Aesthetics and Wellness · Reviewed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Published 2026-09-23 Jawline filler in Scottsdale rarely goes along the jaw itself. At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, or Torey Varner, RN, place a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler in the chin and pre-jowl so the jawline reads as one line, planned with the cheeks and mid face. At a glance Filler supports the chin and the pre-jowl area, the stretch of jawline just in front of the jowl, not the jaw edge itself. Structure, not volume: planned with the cheeks and mid face so the jawline reads as one continuous line. Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes; volume settles fully at about two weeks; typical duration six to eighteen months. Obvious filler from elsewhere can be dissolved first with hyaluronidase; filler correction at MODE is $200.

By Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Reviewed by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C · Published 2026-09-21 Filler maintenance after full correction is not the same syringes again. At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, reviews the face at about twelve months, adds a small amount only where structure needs it, and lets Sculptra and Radiesse carry more of the collagen work. At a glance Full correction is the finish line for adding volume; after it the plan is to maintain structure. A review, typically at twelve months, decides whether any filler is needed at all. Maintenance is usually small adjustments, often one to three syringes a year, not a repeat of the original plan. Collagen biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse) and Lilium Pure Advanced Biologics support skin quality between filler visits. Hyaluronic acid filler that migrated or was overdone can be dissolved with hyaluronidase before anything new is planned. Placed only by Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, or Torey...

At MODE Aesthetics and Wellness in North Scottsdale, Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C, or Torey Varner, RN, place a small amount of hyaluronic acid mid face filler to support the cheeks, then reassess the under eye and nasolabial folds at the follow up.
