BOTOX® Cosmetic
After years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, and worrying, the skin around the eyes and on the forehead will often develop deep lines and wrinkles called "expression lines". A frequent concern is that they often make you look older, tired, or stressed. Until recently, these advanced furrows have been difficult to treat. Now, by utilizing this FDA approved muscle-relaxing agent, expression lines can be significantly reduced.
BOTOX® Cosmetics a therapeutic 
muscle-relaxing agent derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. For over a decade ophthalmologists have applied BOTOX® Cosmetic for its original intention, the treatment of blepharospasm. Physicians have utilized BOTOX® Cosmetic for years as a cosmetic treatment to correct visible signs of stress and aging.
Restylane® and Juvéderm™
Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by a gradual breakdown of the body's collagen and the elastin fibers in the skin. No one is immune from experiencing this normal aging process. Squinting, frowning and smiling also inflict stress on the underlying collagen in the skin and accelerate the formation of these furrows. Until recently, injectable collagen was the most widely used available cosmetic filler to improve the appearance of these lines. Unfortunately, the benefits of injected collagen didn’t last long.
Juvéderm™ is a new injectable gel recently released by Allergan, the makers of Botox. Like Restylane®, it is used to correct facial lines and wrinkles, enlarge and define lips, and soften the appearance of depressed scars. Juvéderm™ is available in two thicknesses, Ultra for lips and shallow folds, and Ultra Plus for deeper folds.
During your initial consultation, our staff members will be able to provide specific recommendations regarding whether Restylane®, Juvéderm™ Ultra, or Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus is right for you.
Restylane® is a long-lasting cosmetic filler that provides dramatic results for improving the appearance of facial lines, wrinkles, and folds. This is a non-surgical solution to soften facial lines and wrinkles, restore volume and fullness to the skin, plump up lips, and fill in scars. Restylane® injected into the lips can give back fullness to lips that have receded. The cosmetic results are visible immediately, bestowing you with a more youthful and invigorated look.
Laser Collagen Remodeling
Collagen is a key element that keeps our skin looking young and smooth. Every time you smile or frown, squint or pucker up, you put stress on the underlying collagen in the skin, which results in the development of facial lines. Collagen is depleted naturally as you age, leaving many yearning for the plump and youthful skin they remember. Collagen Replacement Therapy offers immediate and dramatic results for those unhappy with the early signs of aging. It is a non-surgical method to smooth out facial lines and wrinkles and fill in scars. The results produced are immediately noticeable and leave you with refreshed and more youthful looking skin.
