Patient of the Month: Our Talented Nurse Injector, Lucy

We’re thrilled to spotlight our incredible Nurse Injector, Lucy, as our July Patient of the Month! Lucy recently shared her own filler transformation, and we're excited to highlight her journey!

In the "before" photo, you can see Lucy's natural features. While beautiful, there were a few areas she felt could be more balanced:

• Cheeks: Slight volume loss that made her face appear a bit flat.
• Chin: A less defined chin that could benefit from more structure.
• Nasolabial Folds: These folds were more pronounced, contributing to a tired appearance.
• Temples: Hollowness that gave her face a slightly sunken look.

The Plan:
We developed a comprehensive treatment plan to address each concern holistically, ensuring a harmonious enhancement of her features.

The Results:
The transformation is stunning yet natural. We've enhanced Lucy's unique features without looking overdone, showcasing the true art of facial balancing.

Facial balancing is an art, and the key is to work with an injector who understands your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. It’s all about harmony and bringing out the best in your natural beauty. And remember, the journey is just as important as the result - feeling confident and amazing in your own skin is what it’s all about! 💕

Recipe Corner – Erin’s Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

As promised, we’re sharing Erin’s famous chocolate chip cookie recipe! These cookies are a hit at Park Aesthetics, and we’re excited for you to try them at home.

Servings: 12 large cookies (32 mini cookies)

Equipment:

• USA Pan Half Sheet Baking Pan
• KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, room temperature (salted or unsalted - Erin recommends Kerry Gold!)
• 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed (reduce to 1 cup for high altitude)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (organic cane sugar works well; no adjustment needed for high altitude)
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (add 2 tablespoons for high altitude)
• 3 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt 
• 2-3 cups milk chocolate chips (she uses 1 1/2 11.5 oz packages of Ghirardelli)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position your oven rack in the middle. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Use additional pans if needed.
2. Beat the softened butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add both sugars and continue beating until creamy and smooth, 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through.
3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed for 1 minute per egg, then mix in the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl.
5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on low speed, adding a little at a time. Mix just until combined and no visible streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand or on the lowest setting of your mixer.
7. Scoop out a heaping 1/2 cup of dough (4.2 ounces/117 grams) and split it in half. Place the halves on top of each other with the jagged edges facing up. Arrange the dough balls 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Chill the dough for 10-20 minutes if it's too soft due to heat or humidity. Otherwise, this is a no-chill recipe.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are just barely golden at the edges and slightly firm in the center. Allow them to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
10. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze dough balls, place them on a tray and flash freeze for 1 hour until firm, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Bring dough balls to room temperature before baking.

High Altitude Adjustments:

• Reduce brown sugar to 1 cup, packed.
• Keep granulated sugar at 1/2 cup.
• Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the 3 cups.

Notes:

• It's crucial to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. If unsure, use an oven thermometer to check and adjust as needed.

Variations:

• For a bakery-style touch, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies while they cool.
• Experiment with different types of baking chips, such as semisweet, dark, white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch for a unique flavor.
• Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to the tops of the cookies for an extra burst of flavor.

We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
