Botulinum toxin is a highly purified protein injected into the skin to relax the muscles that cause some kinds of wrinkles. While Botulinum toxin can treat certain medical conditions, such as excessive sweating, it is most commonly used for cosmetic purposes, primarily to reduce wrinkles on the face and neck.

Botulinum toxin injections are relatively painless, as the needle used is significantly smaller than those used for other injectable fillers. The best candidates for Botulinum toxin are men and women seeking an enhanced appearance with fewer wrinkles. In addition, it is important that those seeking treatment are in good physical health, are not pregnant or nursing and do not have a neuromuscular disorder.

People seeking Botulinum toxin injections should have realistic expectations regarding this procedure’s abilities and should discuss their desired goals with their doctor beforehand. Botulinum toxin injections are administered by a qualified physician using a very fine needle. The procedure only takes a few minutes and requires no anesthetic. Day-to-day activities can be resumed immediately afterwards. Wrinkles begin to fade within 24 hours, with continued improvement over the next five days.

Side effects of Botulinum toxin are rare and are usually mild and temporary. The most common side effects are headaches and temporary redness or bruising of the skin at the site of injection. Any risk of complications can be reduced by choosing an experienced physician.

Take charge of your frown lines without surrendering to a look that’s not you. Women who want a natural look choose wrinkle diminishing injections. As we age, our skin loses its strength and elasticity. Fat in the deeper layers diminishes, causing loose, saggy skin and pronounced lines and crevices. Repeated facial movements and expressions also contribute to fine lines and wrinkles. Wrinkle diminishing injections use a neurotoxin that temporarily help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. The untreated facial muscles will still work normally, which allows you to freely show facial expressions, like smiling in untreated areas. Wrinkle diminishing injections deliver natural looking results.

Restylane Refyne

Restylane® Refyne is designed with XpresHAn Technology™ to help soften laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). This can help you restore a more natural look to your face while maintaining your facial expressions.1,2 So, you always look like you. Talk to your specialist and see for yourself why it’s worth it.

Restylane Defyne

Crafted with XpresHAn Technology™, Restylane® Defyne helps smooth out deep laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). Using innovative cross-linking technology, Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is able to help restore a more youthful, natural-looking appearance, while helping you maintain your natural expressions.1,2

Restylane-L

Get the lift you’ve been looking for and feel the difference. Instantly smooth away facial wrinkles and folds with Retylane-L. It can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles. If you want that more youthful appearance, but you’re concerned about potential discomfort from treatment, now you can get beautiful results and a more comfortable experience because Restylane-L has 0.3% lidocaine added to help reduce discomfort.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft is a member of the Restylane family of products. Like Restylane-L, Restylane Lyft restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). It is also great for revitalizing your cheeks. Volume lost in the cheeks can be replaced with ease with Restylane Lyft. What makes Restylane Lyft so different is the average size of the particles and the depth of the injection. It is a good choice for wrinkles that benefit from a deeper injection into the skin. As you age, so does your face.

You may be noticing some obvious signs of aging, what were once subtle lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth have started to deepen over time. Cheeks that used to appear full and taut suddenly seem to sag and droop. While aging is a reality of life, it doesn’t mean you can’t maintain a natural, youthful look along the way. That’s why there’s Restylane Lyft.

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk is designed for meticulously precise lip definition and line control for the silkier, smoother lips you’ve been looking for. It is the first and only FDA-approved filler to specially address the lips and the fine vertical lines around them that can cause lipstick to feather, aging your appearance. As we age, lips can change and the lines around them can become more noticeable. The muscles that surround the mouth can flatten and shrink, making the lips thinner and less shapely. You may have looked in the mirror and wondered what happened to the lips you remember. Now you can take action with Restylane Silk. This hyaluronic acid filler gives you natural looking results while still enhancing your lips.

Juvéderm®

Deep wrinkles and furrows may be a part of aging, but they don’t have to be permanent. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm Injectable Gel are a quick and easy solution. They work to erase these lines and restore a younger, more refreshed appearance. Juvederm is a safe, FDA-approved formula that lasts up to one year. It contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize the mild discomfort that is sometimes associated with receiving an injection. The injection of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the skin that adds volume and hydration—is administered directly to targeted areas to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds while also smoothing the skin. It is an effective technique for restoring a youthful plumpness to the skin.

Juvéderm® XC

Juvéderm® XC is a new, FDA-approved formula of the effective Juvéderm dermal filler that contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize the mild discomfort previously associated with this treatment. Injected directly into targeted areas of the skin, Juvéderm reduces the appearance of wrinkles and folds while also smoothing skin for an overall enhanced appearance. The new Juvéderm XC eliminates the need for additional anesthetic, as well as the wait time of up to 30 minutes for the numbness to take effect. The lidocaine contained within this injection takes only seconds to spread across the treatment area. Results are reported to last up to a year, making Juvéderm one of the most commonly requested treatments.

Juvéderm® Ultra & Juvéderm® Ultra Plus

Touted as the “next generation” of facial fillers, Juvéderm® injectable gels gently smooth wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose and restore a youthful volume to the face. Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus use a more advanced, cross-linked formula for the correction of moderate to severe wrinkles or folds in the mid- to deep dermis. Treatment takes only 15 minutes with immediate results and no downtime. Results typically last about 6-9 months and can be made to last even longer with a simple follow-up treatment a few weeks after the initial injection.

Juvederm® Ultra XC

Juvederm Ultra XC is dermal filler that is great for its versatility in filling moderate to severe wrinkle facial folds as well as the lips. It is a hyaluronic acid filler that helps initiate your own collagen and elastin production. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that can last up to a year. Juvederm Ultra® XC is manufactured using HYLACROSS technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel. It is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment. Everyone’s skin ages differently and Juvederm Ultra XC may be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas. From smile lines to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours. With Juvederm Ultra XC you get the smooth results you expect, with the improved comfort you want. Everyone will notice, but no one will know.

Juvederm® Ultra Plus XC

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that helps initiate your own collagen and elastin production. It instantly adds volume to correct age related volume loss in many different areas of the face. It has a more robust formulation meant for volumizing and correcting deeper facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is manufactured using HYLACROSS technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel. It is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.

Radiesse® is a synthetic injectable filler that has been FDA-approved to reduce moderate to severe wrinkles, folds and creases around the nose and mouth by augmenting the skin’s natural collagen supply. It is a safe, effective and long-lasting alternative to injectable collagen and other dermal fillers for not only smoothing wrinkles but also adding volume and contour to the face for an overall younger, fuller, smoother appearance. With just one or two Radiesse® treatments, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural look that lasts.

Radiesse® is composed of microspheres in a water-based gel. The microspheres – made of a substance called calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) – stimulate the production of collagen to smooth lines and wrinkles as well as add younger-looking suppleness to the face. Radiesse® is made from minerals similar to what makes up our bones. There is no need for pre-treatment allergy testing, and it is absorbed naturally by the body over time.

Radiesse® can be used on many areas of the face and body. Numerous studies have shown Radiesse® to be especially effective for filling and correcting smile lines, nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth to the chin), and other lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. It can also be used to treat depressed scars and oral commissures.

Radiesse® has also been approved by the FDA to restore and correct the signs of lipoatrophy (loss of fat beneath the skin) in patients with HIV.

Radiesse® Treatment At your Radiesse® treatment, your doctor will clean the treatment area and administer a series of quick injections with a fine needle. Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require only local anesthetic. There is little to no downtime; many patients return to their normal activities after their appointment.

Patients typically need only one or two treatments to achieve the full effect of Radiesse®. Your doctor may recommend a follow-up appointment to determine whether you would benefit from additional treatments.

Creating micro channels in the skin which enhance penetration of products.

Exfoliates the top layer of the epidermis and rids the face of fine vellus hair. Using a Dermaplaning blade and a delicate touch, you abrade the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes.
