Botox® Cosmetic
A Botox treatment is a single, non-surgical FDA approved procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows, crows feet around your eyes, and wrinkles in your forehead that develop over time. One 10-minute Botox treatment - a few tiny injections - relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to four months. Botox is fast, simple and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. The results are dramatic and apparent within days. Visualize Botox on you.

Juvèderm® XC
Juvederm injectable gel is produced through HYLACROSS® technology promoting duration for six months or longer. This technology results in a smooth consistency, which is a primary factor in the long-lasting smooth natural look and feel that is the hallmark of Juvederm wrinkle correction.

This gel is made of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in your skin. Juvederm is used to treat facial wrinkles and folds, most commonly the nasolabial folds - the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth - your "smile lines." Juvederm XC is formulated with lidocaine, a common anesthetic, to provide a more comfortable experience during and after treatment. Visualize Juvederm on you.

Restylane® L
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds - such as nasolabial folds. The Restylane family can be used in other moderate to severe facial wrinkles such as lipstick lines - the area just below the nose and above the upper lip, the corners of the mouth, and marionette lines - the area that extends downward from the corner of the mouth to the jawline. Restylane is also used to add volume and enhance the lip line. Restylane is fully biocompatible and allergy testing is not required. The treatments can be administered immediately - no waiting is necessary. The Restylane procedure is simple and convenient, and the results are practically instantaneous. The effects of Restylane are proven to be long-lasting, generally up to six months.

Restylane L contains lidocaine to reduce discomfort during and after treatment.

Radiesse®
Radiesse is one of the longest lasting of wrinkle fillers - up to 12 months. A safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look in nasolabial folds (smile lines) and wrinkles around the nose and mouth.

Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in natural gel that is injected into the skin through a safe and minimally invasive procedure. In addition to providing immediate volume correction, it also stimulates production of your own natural collagen.

Dysport®
Dysport is a prescription injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.

Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra Aesthetic is a facial injectable treatment that is intended as a one-time treatment regimen of up to four injection sessions that are scheduled about three weeks apart. Please note that Sculptra Aesthetic should be used for people with healthy immune systems. It corrects shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles in which deep dermal grid pattern (cross-hatch) injection technique is appropriate. Sculptra Aesthetic works gradually to replace collagen that is lost during the aging process.
