Botox Party 20% Off, first Wed. of each Month

A makeover doesn’t have to be extreme! Injectables have virtually no downtime and can produce significant results. Given the variety of injectables in the world market today you can easily give your face the boost it may need to “freshen up” your look instantly.

Most injectables fall into the category of “fillers” and are designed to fill in wrinkles and depressions in the face. Fillers include such products as Restylane, Juvéderm, Sculptra, Perlane, and Radiesse. These injectables disappear after a period of time.

Botox and Dysport are slightly different in that they weaken the facial muscles thus lessening the appearance of wrinkles and frown lines.

As you read the following you will probably find that more than one of these products addresses your concerns. Patients often have a facial filler and Botox or Dysport injections done at the same time. When you meet with one of our certified injectors he or she will able to advise you as to which product or products will best help you achieve your desired result.

• Botox®: Botox (Botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin drug that acts by temporarily blocking nerve pulses in facial muscles. It tends to be most effective in muscles related to expression lines around the eyes, forehead and mouth. It is often effective in areas where fillers may not be. Botox is a very safe and effective injectable and therefore very popular among patients.
• DysportTM: Dysport relaxes facial muscles. It is made with the same ingredient as Botox, botulinum toxin type A. Like Botox, it tends to be most effective in treating wrinkles caused by muscles related to expression lines around the eyes, forehead and mouth.
• Juvederm™: This product is a dermal filler that is based on hyaluronic acid and works together with the body’s own hyaluronic acid to create volume. Studies show that results last up to 6-12 months. Juvéderm is effective for the nasolabial folds, under the eyes, between eyebrows and lip plumping.
• Perlane®: This dermal filler is the newest member of the Restylane family. The difference in Perlane is the gel particle size. Perlane gel particles are larger and designed for deeper injection than Restylane. It works well for severe facial wrinkles and folds.
• Radiesse®: Another product within the “filler” category, Radiesse is made up of calcium hydroxiapatite (CaHA) a primary component of teeth and bones. No skin testing is required. This product has a thicker consistency and is best for deeper nasolabial folds and rebuilding hollow areas. The consistency of this product allows it to last longer than most fillers, up to a year or longer.
• Restylane®: Next to Botox, Restylane is the second most common injectable. It is a hyaluronic acid filler that plumps up creases under the skin. Restylane is similar to Juvéderm. This filler is also used for nasolabial folds, under the eyes and between eyebrows Patients experience results that can last up to six months. Restylane is the most popular product for creating fuller looking lips.

JUVEDERM ™ Helps Smooth
Facial Wrinkles and Skin Folds

As we age, our skin changes. For example, it reduces production of a natural hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Over time, the loss of HA results in facial wrinkles and folds, like those ‘parentheses’ lines around the mouth.

JUVEDERM™ injectible gel replaces the HA, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds (also called nasolabia folds). A breakthrough in HA dermal fillers, JUVEDERM is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and only HA filler that is FDA approved to last up to a year.

This is due to an innovative manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology. HYLACROSS gives JUVEDERM its unique smooth-gel properties.

When JUVEDERM was tested in a clinic setting among individuals who did not know which filler they were receiving, nearly 90 percent stated a preference for JUVEDERM. In addition, JUVEDERM injectable gel has been tested on skin phototypes, both male and female.
