Botox®

 

Botox is a cosmetic treatment that is quick and minimally invasive. A few tiny injections into over-active muscles restrict the movement that causes facial creases or wrinkles. The FDA approved the drug in 2002 to treat frown lines between the eyebrows but the product is also used on crows's feet and forehead creases. Botox is by far the most popular non-invasive treatment with more than 2.5 million procedures performed in 2007, a jump of 13 percent since 2006. While some patients may experience bruising or numbness, the treatments are relatively easy, low-risk, and produce youthful results.

Radiesse®

 

Radiesse® dermal filler is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. RADIESSE dermal filler is the ideal choice for total facial contouring. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, help you defy age and gravity, and increase your confidence - all without invasive surgery or scarring.

 

RADIESSE dermal filler works with your own body in a remarkable way. Upon injection, it immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. And unlike other fillers, RADIESSE dermal filler continues to work over time. With its patented microsphere technology, it starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and encouraging collagen to grow around the injection area. RADIESSE dermal filler actually helps your body create its own naturally younger look, setting a new standard in facial contouring and augmentation.

 

RADIESSE dermal filler has been clinically tested extensively for years, with excellent safety and efficacy results. It has received CE mark certification, two FDA approvals, and a number of FDA clearances. RADIESSE dermal filler is made from a biocompatible substance that's identical to what's naturally found in the body. There's virtually no risk of allergic reaction, and there have been very few side effects reported in clinical trials and actual use.

 

Treatment with RADIESSE dermal filler is so simple and convenient, it can be performed during a lunch hour. You'll see the results right away - and these results may last up to a year or more for many patients. The long-lasting effects of RADIESSE dermal filler can reduce the need for retreatment, which saves you time and money compared with other fillers.

Juvederm

 

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen!

 

Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

 

You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last up to 6 months or more. However, results may vary and correction is temporary. Supplemental "touch up" treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal results.

Perlane®

 

Perlane® 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). After your treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, and bruising. This will normally last less than seven days. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had herpes before, an injection can cause the herpes to return. In rare circumstances, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use Perlane if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you shouldn't use Perlane®.

Complete Hand Rejuvination

 

Frequently the focus of cosmetic improvement is the face. Yet, one of the most age-telling body features is our hands. As we age, our hands loose firmness and plumpness and begin to look bony and fragile with thin crepey skin texture and often they've become pigmented with sun or "age" spots.

 

Finally, there is a simple solution! Complete Hand Rejuvenation is a combination process which includes Radiesse and Intense Pulsed Light Therapy.

 

Radiesse injections immediately re-plump and replenish volume to the back of the hands to provide a supple and youthful appearance instantly. Placed beneath the skin, Radiesse raises the skin level so that tendons, joints and veins lose their prominence. Radiesse provides instant and durable long lasting results. Best of all this is done in about one-half hour and you can go back to work immediately. If needed this can be combined with IPL treatment to the hands to lessen brown spots.
