As time passes our skin shows the natural, inevitable signs of aging – wrinkles, sagging, sun damage. But you can counteract those effects with several non-surgical cosmetic procedures available at our practice, including Botox® and injectible fillers such as Radiesse® and Restylane® to smooth lines and wrinkles and raise sunken areas and chemical peels to reduce blemishes and scarring and produce fresh, glowing skin.
 BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® injections block nerve impulses, weakening muscles to relax wrinkles and give the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.
Juvederm is a dermal filler generally used for cosmetic purposes—particularly to treat facial wrinkles and creases. The Juvederm treatment gained FDA approval in 2006 and ever since has been widely used by both men and women to smooth and enhance facial appearance and create a more youthful look. dermal filler
Treatment with Juvederm is safe, fast, and effective. Treatment takes approximately 15 minutes, and results are immediate. Some patients may experience mild swelling and bruising, and allergy testing is not required.
 Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin. Peel formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures such as facelifts for a younger look. They may be covered by insurance if they are performed for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.
