Botulinum toxin / neuromodulators

Clinician-administered injections that temporarily reduce muscle activity in treated areas. Educational pages explain the category—not a personal treatment plan.

InjectablesMinimally invasiveMinimal recovery

Minimal recovery: many people return to usual activities quickly, though temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur.

Commonly discussed for. Fine lines & wrinkles

Lip Flip

A lip flip uses a very small amount of a neuromodulator, such as botulinum toxin, around the upper lip to temporarily relax targeted muscle activity. This allows the upper lip to roll slightly outward, making more of the lip visible without actually adding volume.

Minimal recovery: many people return to usual activities quickly, though temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur.

Commonly discussed for. Fine lines & wrinkles

Hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers

Gel implants based on hyaluronic acid that clinicians may use to support facial contours and folds. Education only—not candidacy scoring.

InjectablesMinimally invasiveShort recovery

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Commonly discussed for. Volume loss, Fine lines & wrinkles

Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers

Injectable fillers using calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel carrier. Discussed for contour support; biostimulatory framing varies by product and indication.

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Commonly discussed for. Volume loss, Laxity

Poly-L-lactic acid injectables

Injectable PLLA suspensions discussed for gradual contour support through tissue response rather than immediate gel volume alone.

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Deoxycholic acid injections

Injectable deoxycholic acid used by clinicians to reduce submental fat in appropriate candidates after evaluation—not a Quorenne candidacy decision.

InjectablesMinimally invasiveModerate recovery

Moderate recovery: visible or sensory effects may last longer and can affect social or work plans for some people—discuss expectations with a clinician.

Commonly discussed for. Under-chin fullness, Body contouring

Superficial chemical peels

Clinician-applied chemical solutions that exfoliate superficial skin layers. Depth, acid type, and aftercare are clinician-controlled.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveShort recovery

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Commonly discussed for. Texture, Pigmentation, Fine lines & wrinkles, Acne scars

Medium-depth chemical peels

Deeper chemical peels that reach into the upper dermis. Higher downtime and risk than superficial peels; clinician expertise is essential.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveLonger recovery

Longer recovery: more noticeable downtime is commonly discussed for this category. Individual healing varies; Quorenne does not predict your recovery.

Commonly discussed for. Pigmentation, Texture, Fine lines & wrinkles, Acne scars

Ablative laser resurfacing

Energy-based removal of outer skin layers to remodel texture. Includes carbon-dioxide and erbium platforms as a shared educational category with device-specific differences.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveLonger recovery

Longer recovery: more noticeable downtime is commonly discussed for this category. Individual healing varies; Quorenne does not predict your recovery.

Commonly discussed for. Texture, Fine lines & wrinkles, Acne scars, Pigmentation

Carbon-dioxide laser resurfacing

CO2 ablative lasers used for resurfacing education within the broader ablative category. Device platforms and fractional modes vary.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveLonger recovery

Longer recovery: more noticeable downtime is commonly discussed for this category. Individual healing varies; Quorenne does not predict your recovery.

Commonly discussed for. Texture, Fine lines & wrinkles, Acne scars

Erbium laser resurfacing

Erbium:YAG ablative lasers discussed for resurfacing with different water-absorption characteristics than CO2 platforms.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveModerate recovery

Moderate recovery: visible or sensory effects may last longer and can affect social or work plans for some people—discuss expectations with a clinician.

Commonly discussed for. Texture, Fine lines & wrinkles, Pigmentation

Nonablative fractional laser resurfacing

Fractional lasers that leave intact skin bridges while creating microscopic treatment zones. Generally less downtime than fully ablative resurfacing.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveShort recovery

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Commonly discussed for. Texture, Acne scars, Pigmentation, Fine lines & wrinkles

Ablative fractional laser resurfacing

Fractional ablative lasers create microscopic ablative channels with intact tissue bridges. Often discussed when learners want more remodeling than nonablative fractional approaches, with more recovery than gentler series treatments.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveModerate recovery

Moderate recovery: visible or sensory effects may last longer and can affect social or work plans for some people—discuss expectations with a clinician.

Commonly discussed for. Acne scars, Texture, Fine lines & wrinkles, Pigmentation

Hybrid fractional laser resurfacing

Educational category for platforms that combine ablative and nonablative fractional wavelengths or modes in one treatment pathway. Exact hybrid designs differ by manufacturer—Quorenne does not treat all hybrid devices as identical.

Resurfacing & PeelsMinimally invasiveShort recovery

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Commonly discussed for. Pigmentation, Texture, Fine lines & wrinkles

Intense pulsed light

Broadband light devices used educationally for pigment and redness discussions. Not a laser; filters and settings are clinician-controlled.

Vascular lasers

Lasers designed to target hemoglobin for visible vessels and redness. Platform choice is clinical.

Commonly discussed for. Redness, Visible vessels

Pigment-targeting lasers

Lasers aimed at melanin or tattoo pigment particles. Indication and skin-tone counseling are critical.

Pigment & RednessMinimally invasiveShort recovery

Short recovery: temporary effects often settle over a brief period, but individual experiences vary and results are not promised.

Commonly discussed for. Pigmentation

Radiofrequency microneedling

Microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy into skin. Discussed for texture and mild laxity education—not a surgical facelift substitute.

Microfocused ultrasound

Focused ultrasound energy delivered to deeper soft-tissue planes for noninvasive lifting/tightening education.
