b Aesthetic Plastic Surgery: Non-Surgical Procedures: Botox, Restylane, Juvederm

Botox

BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Take a look at men and women who've had BOTOX Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!

One 10-minute treatment--a few tiny injections--and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

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 the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is biodegradable and fully biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.

Juvederm

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvederm injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvederm injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvederm injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel. Studies show superior results of Juvederm compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvederm injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvederm! In addition, Juvederm injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

Laser Skin Resurfaching

As the aging process begins, the connective tissue thins and collagen and elastic fibers break down. These changes in the support structures appear as sagging, deep creases, folds and wrinkles that can appear in your thirties.

A procedure with patented Contour Threads is a safe, conservative and effective one that offers subtle, natural-looking results. These specially design sutures are fashioned from clear polypropylene, a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in other medical products. By gently shifting sagging tissues in an upward direction, this technique allows the surgeon to produce a relaxed, fresh appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face. This procedure does not replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach.

Cosmoderm

Cosmoderm is a injectable dermal filler, ideal for fine lines and wrinkles. Cosmoderm is frequently used around the mouth. Cosmoderm contains a natural human collagen.

CosmoPlast

CosmoPlast is injected just below the surface of the skin, filling in unwanted lines and wrinkles and adding definition to the lip border. For Acne Scars, Cosmoplast and other fillers offer a temporary leveling to make the skin appear smooth.

Perlane

Perlane is a cosmetic dermal injectable filler that replaces lost volume and restores youthful contour to the skin. Perlane works best on moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Perlane lasts at least 6 months, in the majority of patients and can last longer in others.

Radiesse

Radiesse is an injectable filler just for facial folds and wrinkles. Radiesse is designed for moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds and nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds are the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth. Radiesse contains a natural material called Calcium Hydroxylapatite.
