Botox® & Fillers

Wrinkle Relaxers

Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox^® and Dysport^®, are injectable treatments to relax and smooth wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a younger-looking appearance. Wrinkle relaxers can be used to treat lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar), around the eyes (crow’s feet) and more.

Botox^® and Dysport^® injections take just a few minutes to complete, with results appearing over a few days to two weeks. Results may vary between Botox^® and Dysport^® depending on your skin and history of use, however most people enjoy a significant reduction in wrinkles for 3-5 months. Results may last longer with continued treatments. Schedule a consultation to determine which wrinkle relaxer is right for you.

Fillers and Contouring

Injectables are used to restore loss of volume in the face, plump up deep wrinkles, enhance lips and slim chin fat.

Juvederm Voluma® restores volume to the cheeks, resulting increased fullness in the cheekbone area, a defined jawline and reduction in lines around the mouth. Voluma results are instant. Enjoy a more youthful appearance for up to 2 years with optimal treatment.

Juvederm Vollure™ treats parentheses lines (nasolabial folds – lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth) and marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin around the mouth). Optimal treatment will soften moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles for up to 18 months.

Restylane Refyne® helps soften moderate laugh lines, such as parentheses lines (nasolabial folds – lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth) and marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin around the mouth). Optimal treatment will soften moderate facial lines and wrinkles for up to 18 months.

Restylane Defyne® treats deep laugh lines, such as parentheses lines (nasolabial folds – lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth) and marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin around the mouth). Optimal treatment will soften moderate facial lines and wrinkles for up to one year.

Kybella® destroys fat cells under the chin to create a smoother, more defined profile. The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid – comparable to a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Kybella treatment results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once fat cells are destroyed they can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

Juvederm Volbella® restores volume to the lips, enhances shape and reduces vertical lip lines around the mouth. Volbella’s natural looking volume lasts about one year.
