At the present time permanent tissue fillers are not used in our facility.

80% of the North American dermal filler market generally focuses on the hyaluronic acid temporary tissue fillers.

Permanent tissue fillers are more likely to cause side effects and offer less flexibility when it comes to results.

The temporary tissue fillers we use are Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse.

Four components of the facial structure change as one ages: the skin, muscle, bone and fat. Loss of elasticity in the skin and soft tissue, a loss of volume, reabsorbing of the bone and gravity are all signs of aging. A facelift does not solve all of the problems of aging such as age spots and surface texture changes. A variety of techniques are available to help with the aging process, the muscle contractions are relaxed.

Injectables can address: Lost fullness * Expression lines * Flattened or hollowed features.

Recommended Treatment to Restore Volume: Varying degrees of wrinkles and folds and different areas of the face can be addressed with the use of injectables in a facelift procedure. Plumping up facial volume and filling fine lines and wrinkles can be addressed by using dermal fillers. Expression-related creases are caused by muscle contractions; however, with the use of denervating agents such as Botox.

How its done: After an examination, we will draw up a treatment plan designed specifically for signs of aging and oneʼs personal goals. Temporary fillers such as hyaluronic acid-based (Restylane and Juvederm) or collagen-based longer-lasting injectables like Radiesse, Botox is often used in conjunction with fillers to relax facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles and furrows. Injecting fillers at varying depths to fill creases creates a more youthful contours and appearance. Depending on the number of injections sites and the injectables used treatment can take as little as 30 minutes. Restylane and Juvederm fill lips and creases, and Radiesse create new curves or fill deep crevices in facelift procedures.

What to expect: Some of the initial plumping may be due to overfilling or swelling. It is common for multiple injection sites, but swelling and bruises may be experienced the first few days after treatment. To minimize swelling, patients leave with a pack of ice and are advised not to exercise for the first few hours to prevent an increase in heart rate or blood pressure. Patients should avoid vitamin E, anti-inflammatories, herbal supplements and other medications that promote bruising.

Millions of women already know BOTOX Cosmetic

– a nonsurgical treatment that helps temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the brows.

Those moderate to severe vertical lines between the brows are sometimes referred to as 1ʼs, 1 1ʼs, 1 1 1ʼs.

Years of squinting, concentrating or frowning can cause your skin to furrow and crease.

As time passes, our skin becomes less elastic and those moderate to severe frown lines remain even when your muscles are not contracting.

With BOTOX Cosmetic, you can get real, noticeable results and still look like yourself.

So, you can still frown or look surprised, but without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is an FDA approved, quick, 10-minute procedure that requires no downtime or recovery – its often called a lunchtime procedure.

With a few tiny injections, BOTOX Cosmetic blocks nerve impulses to the muscles in your forehead-called the “corrugator” and “procerus” muscles – reducing their movement.

This decreased muscle activity helps lessen the appearance of moderate to sever frown lines between the brows for real, noticeable results.
