INJECTABLES
Botulinum Toxin
Wrinkle relaxers like botulinum toxin temporarily relax the muscles of the face that contract and ultimately cause wrinkling by preventing the release of signals (acetylcholine) from the nerves to muscles. The most commonly injected areas include forehead lines, vertical lines between the eyes, “crow’s feet” around the eyes. A tiny needle is used. Results are typically evident several days after treatment and the effects of neurotoxins last 3-4 months.
Facial Fillers
A non-surgical way to restore and replace lost volume secondary to aging. Facial fillers tend to have a “moisturizing” effect due to their ability to absorb and retain water. The most commonly injected areas include the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips. A tiny needle is used. Results are typically evident several days after treatment and the effects of dermal may last 6-12 months to years.
