Common Misconceptions Most Clients Have About Full Facial Balancing

It’s time to talk about one of the industry’s hottest terms, full facial balancing. This comprehensive, whole-face approach to treatment is something we are huge advocates of here at Coco Med Spa in St. Pete. Because of this, we realize that there is a lot of information out there, and we want to set the record straight on how we view full facial balancing and the various treatments that can be included in it. 

What is Full Facial Balancing?

Full facial balancing is a method of treatment that takes the whole face into consideration, even if just one area gets treated. We don’t look at the face as a combination of separate, singular parts, because it’s not. Your face works together in a myriad of unseen and unique ways, and our job is to view the whole structure when creating your treatment plan so that you leave with the results you actually want rather than the treatment you think you need. For example, if someone comes in for lip filler but has a significant lack of projection in the chin area, lip filler without consideration for the face structure may increase the look of imbalance. By filling the lips without reinforcing the structure of the chin and/or jawline, the beauty of the lip results might not even be as impactful, and could change your face more than you really want. In this situation, additional treatments might be recommended to bring symmetry and balance that will enhance the results and look you want to achieve. 

What Services Might Be Offered With Full Facial Balancing?

Many of the services offered during full facial balancing are injectables, such as neurotoxins or fillers. These services may include:

• Botox

• Dysport

• Jeuveau

• HA Fillers

• Sculptra

• Cellenis Derma PRP

• PRF Injections

These services, or any combination of them, will be decided upon by the client and the injector prior to treatment, with clear communication about the reason for them and the outcome they’ll provide. While sometimes facial balancing means achieving your goal through a different treatment plan than you originally thought, it’s always for the purpose of achieving the results that you came in requesting. 

Common Misconceptions About Full Facial Balancing?

The most common misconception that we experience with clients who have heard of full facial balancing is that it means they’re getting the same treatments in the same places as everyone else or that it’s making everyone look the same. When done correctly, with experienced injectors like ours at Coco Med Spa, this is not true. While we do return to a variety of treatments to improve common concerns, the goal is never to create the same results as measured by a single appearance standard. The whole point of full facial balancing is to bring out the best version of you without compromising the features that make you exactly who you are. Full facial balancing seeks only to enhance areas that will help to correct deficits, improve the projection of features, and ensure that facial harmony exists between treated and non-treated areas of the face. 

Is Full Facial Balancing for Everyone?

Full facial balancing is indeed for everyone, and we employ it every time we look at a client’s face. The reason it is for everyone is that full facial balancing is never a one-size-fits-all approach. Three people could sit in for full facial balancing in a row, and they may receive three completely separate treatment recommendations. Someone may need more projection in the chin with their lip filler, while someone else may need filler in the temple to reduce temporal hollowing and lift the cheekbones. Another still may come in thinking they need Botox, but learn that PRP injections in the undereyes will give them the results they’re looking for. The beauty of full facial balancing is that it prevents you from sitting for services that won’t actually give you the results you’re hoping for. Full facial balancing considers the root cause of your symptoms and concerns, and offers the best treatments to improve those areas without removing the qualities of your face that make you individually and uniquely beautiful. 

At the end of the day, our job at Coco Med Spa is to give you the right treatments that protect the integrity of your facial structure, skin, and overall appearance. We are proud to be a spa that recommends only what is needed, even if it means we turn away additional services that aren't necessary. As a result. Our clients come back again and again, and always look like the best version of themselves rather than a carbon copy of any particular industry standard. If you’re ready for a full facial balancing experience that prioritizes the best version of you, we’d love to have you in for a consultation at our spa in St. Pete. Please feel free to contact us to schedule your consultation appointment. We look forward to seeing you!
