BOTOX®

Botox cosmetic or Onobotulinumtoxin A, is a neurotoxin that prevents muscle contraction by blocking nerve signals to the muscle. Botox has been used for decades for therapeutic use and was given FDA approval for cosmetic use since 2002. Neurotoxin injections have become increasingly popular due to high patient satisfaction with the results, as well as ease of treatment, and are currently the number one cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. These injections are used to treat wrinkles, mainly in the upper face, caused by facial movement referred to as dynamic wrinkles, by preventing targeted muscles from contracting. Botox treatments are a quick and easy way to diminish facial wrinkles, or prevent them from forming or deepening, and to give your face a smoother, younger appearance.

Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body and is abundant in the skin. It is the molecule primarily for attracting water which is what keeps skin appearing plump and hydrated. As the skin ages it produces less collagen and contains less hyaluronic acid which results in volume loss and facial wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane products are gel-like substances that are placed under the skin, immediately restoring volume to correct or augment depending on the patient’s goals.

Common areas injected with fillers include the lips, the nasolabial folds and the tear troughs. Fillers are also used for cheekbone, chin and jawline augmentation.

Common areas where fillers are placed include the nasolabial folds (laugh lines), the hollows in the temples of the forehead, and hollows in the cheeks. Fillers can also be used in the hands can also be used to replace fat loss to camouflage prominent veins.
