Botox and Juvederm

Botox

If you are between the ages of 18 and 65 with moderate to severe frown lines between your brows, across the forehead, or laugh lines around the eyes you may be a candidate for the Botox Cosmetic. Come in for a free consultation with one of our physicians to see if Botox is right for you.

Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for frown lines and lifts the eye brows, giving the upper face a youthful appearance.  Treatment is quick, painless and done with tiny injections after the application of topical numbing solution.  Results are seen in 2-3 days, with optimum results seen in 2 weeks.  Muscle relaxation lasts for 3-4 months.

Juvederm

Injectable Gel

As you age, your skin changes. For example, it reduces production of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Over time, the loss of HA in your skin results in facial wrinkles and folds, like those “parentheses” lines around your mouth. Juvederm injectable gel replaces the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volue and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. A breakthrough in HA dermal fillers, Juvederm is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA approved to last up to a year!

Microdermabrasion

Using the crystal free DiamondTome skin resurfacing system you will have smoother, healthier and more youthful skin.  These treatments are non-invasive, pain free and require no down-time.  A wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical peels.  The length and number of treatments depend on the skin type and treatment indications.  Results are gradual, but highly effective.

Botox is injected into facial muscles and acts to block nerve impulses to the selectively treated muscles of the face, causing these small muscles to relax.  This results in smoothing of the overlying skin, while untreated muscles contract normally.  While results can be dramatic, there is no effect on normal facial expression.

Treatment indications include

*reduction of fine lines and wrnkles
*rejuvenation of sun damaged skin
*improvement of skin tone and texture
*reduction of age spots
*hyperpigmentation
*reduction of pore size and production of oil
