Non-Surgical Rejuvenation

Botox
Doctors have used Botox safely, for years, to treat various medical conditions. Botox for cosmetic purposes is indicated for improvement in overactive facial muscles. Frown lines and crow's feet are successfully treated with Botox injections in both men and women and may inhibit the deepening of lines or furrows over time. Botox is injected into the area of the muscles, temporarily rendering them unable to contract. You will see results in two to five days as the lines fade away. The effects last from three to six months and over time patients may require fewer injections to maintain the desired results.

Collagen
Collagen is a part of the natural support system of skin. As we age, less collagen is present in our skin, causing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Collagen, injected into these lines, will restore natural contour to the skin. Patients considering collagen therapy need to be tested for sensitivity four weeks prior to treatment.

Restylane
Restylane is a crystal clear gel based on a natural substance called hyaluronic acid. It is a non-animal product eliminating the need for skin testing associated with collagen. Restylane is administered in tiny amounts through a very fine gauge needle, producing long lasting, natural results. Common areas of treatment are wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth as well as lip enhancement. Restylane treatment typically last six to twelve months.
