Injections

Botox® is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available. These injections smooth facial wrinkles by relaxing the muscles beneath them. Botox® is derived from botulinum-A toxin, the diluted form used in injections has been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment for wrinkles and facial lines.

As the injections take effect over the course of one to three weeks, muscles under the skin will begin to relax, causing wrinkles to smooth out and in some cases disappear completely. Unlike facelift patients, Botox® patients will not appear dramatically different after receiving treatment. The results are noticeable, but subtle and amazingly natural. Our staff has extensive experience with Botox® and other injectable products that can help you achieve a smoother appearance in the comfort and convenience of our office.

Botox® treatment generally takes no more than an hour, and patients usually describe the procedure as painless. In some cases, slight bruising or small red dots may be visible at the injection site, but these should disappear within 24 hours. Almost all normal activities can be resumed immediately; however, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities for the first 24 hours.

Dysport is used to deliver relief of frown lines on the forehead. Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.

Dysport typically takes effect in three to seven days following injection. The effects last approximately three to four months depending on your body’s metabolism. Our staff can adjust your injections according to your lifestyle needs. He meticulously records each Dysport session to achieve consistent results and to continue to refine your results based on your anatomy and aesthetic interests.

Juvéderm™ is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler suitable for filling both deep facial wrinkles and the finer lines that appear around the eyes and mouth. It is very safe and convenient, and like other hyaluronic acid fillers Juvéderm™ moisturizes the skin as it is absorbed for long-lasting benefits. The resulting benefits last up to one year.

Juvéderm™ takes approximately an hour to inject and is done in the comfort of our office. There is minimal bruising, redness and swelling experienced after your treatment. Cold compresses may be used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling. Sunbathing and outdoor activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappears. Also, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities for the first 24 hours.
