BOTOX®
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 and forehead to smooth crow's feet and frown and worry lines. 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 and eye and muscle spasms.
The effect of each treatment can last up to four months before results diminish.
Restylane®
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It is also used to sculpt lips and shape facial contours.
Restylane is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. This virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based disease or allergic reaction. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin.
Studies have shown that the average treatment results last six months or even longer. Restylane lasts twice as long as collagen, so treatments are typically scheduled twice a year.
Sculptra™
Sculptra™ is a new injectable product used to counteract the loss of fat beneath the skin (a condition called lipoatrophy). Sculptra is injected into the deep dermis layer of the skin to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations and wrinkles. Its main component is poly-L-lactic acid that has been used for many years in surgical products such as dissolvable sutures. There is no need for allergy testing. Clinical trials have shown that the benefits of Sculptra treatments can last up to two years.
