I definitely recommend James. I came to him because I was concerned about wrinkles, loose skin, and the visible signs of aging. He did the Mini Butterfly Facelift, which combines radio frequency microneedling, TriPollar, and Ultherapy to address those concerns. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly, and create a treatment plan that was personalized to exceed my goals. I’ve been so happy with the results. My skin looks smoother, firmer, and more youthful. What impressed me most was the level of care and attention Jim brings to my appointment. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and detail oriented, and I can tell he genuinely enjoys helping his patients achieve the best possible results. I always felt comfortable asking questions because he took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident throughout the entire process. His experience and dedication are evident in the quality of his work, and I’m so thankful I found him. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim to anyone looking for someone who is skilled, professional, and truly cares about delivering beautiful, youthful looking results.
Treatment clarification: Apollo TriPollar® RF is available as a standalone $300–$900 treatment. It is separate from the Mini Butterfly Facelift®, which combines four technologies: Apollo TriPollar® RF, ultrasonic cavitation, red light therapy and near-infrared therapy.

I made an appointment for the butterfly facelift and the results were amazing!!! My jowels and sagging neck have significantly improved. Several years have been stripped from my face and my youth has returned! He even worked on my decollete that is now much smoother and youthful looking. I would highly recommend to anyone that wants to see results.

The Butterfly Facelift is highly recommended and an excellent choice for anyone with a busy schedule who does not want the expense and downtime from regular Facelift procedures. Because I have a plastic surgeon in my family, I am aware of the Pros & Cons of a surgical lift. I am not willing to put in the time, risk and money for a procedure that may only last a maximum of 10 years. The Butterfly Facelift is significantly less expensive and can last up to 2 years. Now I do not need Botox nor filler, so it has already paid for itself!!! Working with Jim and Quinn to achieve my desired results was truly a pleasure!! Jim Hooper took the time to listen to what I hoped to achieve and made recommendations according to his years of experience. Quinn is a doll!! They are officially my new favorite beauty artists since they are not only enthusiastic about their results, but will also ask you to come back for revisions until you are 100% satisfied with the outcome. My skin already looks much more taut and youthful and the results will only continue to get better!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a wonderful experience! I saw a lot of my acne scars fade after just one treatment. I highly recommend the Butterfly Facelift. I also got a soothing Red Light Therapy treatment. I’ll be back for more.
