Botox

Botox is the most popular noninvasive cosmetic procedure performed nationwide. That is for good reason! It works so well and with little to no downtime! By relaxing the targeted muscles, Botox can smooth dynamic wrinkles (from repetitive muscle movement).  The procedure is not painful, the injectable is administered with a very fine needle.  Results from Botox can start after a few days but take two weeks to completely show. The results will last from three to four months.

Dysport

Working similarly to Botox, Dysport is effective for the correction of dynamic wrinkles, such as Crow’s Feet, Forehead Lines, and the Frown Line.  The effect starts after 48 hours but final results will be seen 10-14 days after treatment.  Results last 3-4 months.

Jeuveau

Jeuveau is the most recent FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer. Jeuveau works by temporarily relaxing overactive muscles that cause wrinkles. Like Botox and Dysport, the active ingredient in Jeuveau is Botulinum Toxin Type A. You can expect a slightly quicker onset and equal duration with this wrinkle relaxer.

JUVÉDERM

There are several formulas of Juvéderm dermal fillers available today including:

• Juvéderm Ultra XC- for lips

• Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC- for naso-labial folds

• Juvéderm Voluma XC- for cheeks and jawline

• Juvéderm Vollure XC- for subtle folds

• Juvéderm Volbella XC- for lines around the lips or subtle lip enhancement
  

 Each one is unique in its thickness and consistency, therefore perfect to meet a variety of different aesthetic needs.  Patients will see their results right away and enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for up to a full year, while some last longer even up to 18 -24 months. 

Juvéderm is comprised of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). As an important building block of the skin’s structure, HA draws moisture into the tissues, plumping them and softening wrinkles. The results of Juvéderm injections can be seen right away; as the filler triggers the production of collagen, these benefits will continue to improve. Instantly after treatment, patients will have smoother, more contoured features, and a more youthful appearance. Juvéderm can significantly improve:

• Fine lines

• Deep facial creases

• Nasolabial Folds

• Marionette Lines

• Volume loss in cheeks and across the jawline

RESTYLANE

The types of Restylane dermal fillers include:

• Restylane-L – under eyes

• Restylane Lyft- cheek and jawline

• Restylane Defyne - folds or lips

• Restylane Refyne- fine lines or subtle lips

• Restylane Kysse- approved specifically for lips

Restylane, a dermal filler, is designed to increase the volume of facial tissues, lift sagging skin, and level wrinkles. Also excellent for creating fuller lips, Restylane can quickly restore a youthful appearance. The results from the treatment will last between six and nine months.
The injectable will instantly:

• Even deep facial lines

• Smooth acne scarring

• Plump the lips

• Restore facial volume

• Correct ‘hollow’ areas under the eyes

There is limited downtime necessary after Restylane injections. The results can last for up to nine months, after which time a repeat Restylane treatment is needed to maintain the benefits.

VERSA

Revanesse Versa is a Hyaluronic Acid filler that has been used worldwide since 2012. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin. Versa is approved for the treatment of nasolabial folds. However, it can be used in other areas of the face for correction of wrinkles, folds, and under the eyes as well as in the lips. Results last up to 12 months when treated to optimal correction.

RHA Collection

RHA® Collection is designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your facial movement, which may provide a more natural look at rest and in motion. Derived from a Swiss company, there are 4 Hyaluronic Acid fillers in this portfolio that are available in the United States.

• RHA 4- used for midface and deeper folds

• RHA 3- used for nasolabial folds and oral commissures

• RHA 2- used for fine lines and subtle lip definition

• Redensity-indicated for fine lines and used off-label in the under the eye.

SCULPTRA

Sculptra is a dermal filler comprised of Poly-L-Lactic Acid. Referred to as a ‘bio-stimulator’, Sculptra can stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. Facial contours will regain a youthful, healthy shape with Sculptra. The injectable is administered in three sessions, spaced approximately four weeks apart. The results will slowly appear over the following several months, as the collagen increases; the benefits of Sculptra can remain for two years. Sculptra will enhance the look of:

• Hollow cheekbones

• Sunken Temples

• Thin Chin

• Boney Jawline

Micro-needling

Using the SkinPen, Micro-needling treatments create micro-injuries to the skin- causing an increase in collagen production. This treatment is great for improving the tone and texture of the skin, reducing the appearance of scarring, as well, helping diminish unwanted pigmentation. The treatment is performed using serums such as Hydrating B5 or Vitamin A and E depending on your specific skin type. Alternatively, micro-needling may be paired with PRP or Plasma Rich Plasma. PRP is created from a small blood sample and applied to your skin during your microneedling treatment for even faster healing and collagen production. The growth factors in PRP trigger natural skin regeneration at a truly extraordinary level. Micro-needling is recommended as a series of at least 3 sessions spaced out once per month. You can expect redness and puffiness on days 1 and 2. However, generally by day 3 patient’s skin has returned to normal. Therefore, it is a method of collagen stimulation with limited downtime.

PRF injections

PRF injections use your body’s own plasma for regenerative anti-aging effects for the under-eye. A small amount of your own blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge creating PRF. The platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is injected into the tear trough to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production. The high concentration of plasma and white blood cells in each patient’s own PRF are released much slower than PRP, resulting in long-lasting results. PRF under-eye treatment can help the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, under-eye hollowing, and correcting dark circles. It is an alternative to under-eye filler for those that are not good filler candidates or those that prefer a more natural approach.

Aqua-Gold Fine Touch

Aqua-Gold Fine Touch uses a glass vial with 20 thin hollow needles that as they perforate deliver a combination of products to the skin’s surface. The vial can be filled with Botox, hyaluronic acid, glutathione, vitamin c, peptides, growth factors, and retinol. This blend of active ingredients creates immediate dewiness and luminosity that can last for a month or more. The process inflicts very little pain and requires no downtime. 

Kybella

The first and only non-invasive treatment for the double chin. Injectable Kybella™ is FDA-approved to permanently eliminate excess submental fat below the chin. Through a series of injections, Kybella™ will start to break down the outer walls of targeted fat cells, allowing them to be safely absorbed and eliminated through the body’s natural inflammatory process. Over the next several months, a tight, smooth, youthful-looking jawline will emerge. The sculpted chin can then be enjoyed for years to come, without any further maintenance treatments.

Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel

The Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel stands out from other chemical treatments because of its innovative blend of ingredients.  Cosmelan has the power to even out the skin tone, decrease dark spots, fade areas of hyperpigmentation, and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin.  Gentle enough for any skin type, the Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel works well on patients of all ages.  Applied through a two-step process, the peel requires minimal downtime. The peel comes with a second cream that is applied daily to enhance your results. A touch-up peel at a minimum of 1 month is included with your package.
