I believe in helping patients live their very best life—feeling good about themselves and their accomplishments on their life’s journey.
There isn’t very much that can makes us feel badly about ourselves the way wrinkles can. Fortunately, there are many weapons we can use in the battle against wrinkles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow’s feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® relaxes wrinkles and gives the face a rejuvenated look.
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.
Radiess™ is a synthetic injectable filler that reduces wrinkles, creases and scars by augmenting the body’s natural collagen supply. Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require only local anesthetic. Results are visible immediately after the injection and can last for months or years.
Evolence is an advanced collagen-based dermal filler that provides long-lasting correction of moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds. It is especially effective for nasolabial folds (wrinkles from the nose to the corners of your mouth). Scientifically engineered to mimic the properties of natural collagen in skin, Evolence is a breakthrough in aging treatment.
Cosmoderm™ is an injectable filler approved by the FDA to smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the face by mimicking the natural effects of collagen. Cosmoderm is a dermal collagen filler that is injected directly into the collagen layer of the skin, just below the skin surface. The injected substance fills unwanted lines and wrinkles and restores the borders of the lips, creating a defined, youthful, and natural looking appearance.
