| Botox Injections |
| Injections of appropriate doses of Botox Cosmetic weaken muscles, which contract to cause wrinkles and creases. Expression is still possible, but creases don't form and wrinkles are reduced or eliminated. Results may take 7-10 days to occur and last 4 months on average. Frown lines between the brows take 25-38 units, brow elevation 33-48 units, crows feet 10-20 units, horizontal forehead lines 20-50 units, lip lines 4-10 units all depending on the surface area and thickness of the muscle. Young patients can prrevent long-term creases and older patients may require filler to further reduce established lines. |
| Restylane/Juvederm Injections |
| These fillers, made of hyaluronic acid (HA) a substance found in our joint fluids and skin, are used to fill lines and grooves in the skin. By pushing the skin up, the shadows created by overhead light are reduced resulting in less visible lines and grooves. Lip lines, frown lines, nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth, and marionette lines between the mouth and chin can all be reduced or eliminated. Minor dark circles under the eyes are easily improved. Hyaluronic acid fillers are also best for making lips larger resulting in smoother and pinker natural looking lips. Results are immediate, but swelling and reddness can last a few days and bruising can occur lasting 4-10 days. No skin testing is required and results may last 4-13 months depending on the location. |
| Radiesse Injections |
| Radiesse is a soft tissue filler used in all areas except the lips. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable calcium-based material similar to microscopic bone. Now FDA approved, it is used in the deeper skin giving a more firm and longer lasting correction of lines, grooves, and hollows. In general, Radiesse will last twice as long as hyaluronic acid in most areas. A syringe of Radiesse contains 30% more product than HA fillers. Transient side effects and safety are essentially the same as HA fillers. |
| Sculptra Injections for Facial Soft Tissue & Shape |
| Most facial aging occurs as a result of soft tissue volume loss and the descent of the remaining tissues. Rather than solid filler, Sculptra can be thought of as seeds planted deep in the skin to grow new collagen. As the Sculptra particles are consumed in a controlled inflammatory response, collagen is laid down that thickens and firms the skin. Three to five sessions 4-8 weeks apart are needed for complete results, which may last 2-5 years. The amount of product can only be estimated and details are provided in a comprehensive consultation. Marketed as "the liquid facelift" in Europe, downtime is the same as any injectable, but results can be as dramatic as some surgical procedures. |
| Painless Laser Hair Removal |
| There is no need to fear laser hair removal with our Aesthura PPX IPL laser technology. Underarms, legs, bikini, or unwanted hair anywhere can be removed in 3-5 treatments without the painful burning of traditional lasers. No gels, cooling, or pain medicine is needed, and an entire back or pair of legs can be treated in 30 minutes or less. Ask the front desk to schedule a consultation. |
| Laser "Photo Facial" |
| In addition to hair removal, the painless Aesthura PPX IPL laser can be used for reduction of pigment, age spots, acne in all stages, rosacea, and sun damage. In addition to the laser energy, a chemical called ALA can be applied to the skin for an hour and then "photoactivated" to destroy precancerous skin cells or hyperactive sebaceous glands that cause acne. There is no pain with the actual procedure, but sun exposure must be avoided for 36 hours. Downtime is limited to 5-7 days of redness and superficial peeling. Data is being collected on the treatment's value in preventing and treating non-malenomatous skin cancer. Treatments may be effective in one treatment for early aging and solar damage, and may be repeated up to 4 time a year for more severe damage. This is the most advanced therapy available in dermatology today. |

| Lipodissolve |
| Yes, you can spot reduce! Lipodissolve is the injection of a chemical that breaks up fat cells leading to the loss of that fat. Contraction of the overlying skin occurs from the inflammatory process immediately below the skin where the fat resides. Although similar to Mesotherapy, we do not use anything but the PC/DC fat dissolving chemical rather than the combination of stimulants or vitamin commonly included in Mesotherapy injection cocktails. The fat is destroyed by white blood cells and taken away permanently with no effect on serum lipids and no risk of fat embolism. Although not FDA approved, the technique has been performed safely for almost 30 years in other countries. Bruising and swelling may last a week and repeat injections are needed to contour an area rangeing from 1-5 depending on the amount of fat. Tummies, hips, chins, legs, "bra rolls," facial fat, and even lower lids can be treated. |
