Botox

Botox procedures are one of the safest and quickest ways to remedy wrinkles in the face and forehead. Botox injections typically take 15 minutes or less to complete, and there is no recovery or down time. Individuals may resume normal activities immediately. Results are usually seen within 2-5 days, with maximum results by 2 weeks. These last anywhere from 3-6 months.

Botulinum toxin, commonly called Botox, is a purified substance that is injected directly into the muscle to block muscular nerve signals, which then weakens the muscle so it can’t contract. The result of Botox smooths facial wrinkles and produces a more youthful appearance.

A Botox procedure:

  • Reduces frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, bunny lines, and neck bands
  • Improves gummy smiles and lip lines
  • Treats pain such as migraines and TMJ dysfunction

Fillers

Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds or lines are naturally occurring due to aging, making them one of the most frequently treated areas. Careful and accurate placement of dermal fillers can support and diminish nasolabial folds without adding more volume-weight to the area. Strategic filling above deep nasolabial folds creates much needed support that can lessen the depth of the lines while also lifting the cheeks.​

Marionette Lines

Marionette lines are lines that run from the corner of the mouth to the chin and have several causes, including the aging process. This results in the reduction of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. The loss of these natural human body proteins causes cheeks to begin sagging, creating marionette lines. Additionally, the movement of the muscles in your lips and around your mouth when you talk, smile, smoke, kiss, etc., causes the skin to lose elasticity and firmness over time. Other factors include persistent exposure to the sun, diet, genetics, and stress all play a key part causing marionette lines to become more pronounced. 

Fillers help restore volume and youthful appearance, lifting the skin folds and lines. This quick procedure is safe with minimal or no downtime.

Mid face

Dermal fillers combat age-related volume loss in the midface. They are used to restore lost volume, define cheekbones, and create a more lifted, youthful, contoured look by adding volume under the skin. The procedure is quick (20-30 mins), involves minimal downtime (some swelling/bruising), and results typically last from 1- 2 years.
