JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA™ XC

JUVEDERM VOLBELLA™ XC is the first and only FDA-approved filler proven to increase lip fullness and correct perioral lines for up to 1 year.

JUVÉDERM® XC Treatments

A “dermal filler”, such as JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel, may be used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and to enhance the lips. The active ingredient in this product is hyaluronic acid, a substance which is naturally present in the skin. JUVÉDERM® XC is formulated with lidocaine, a common anesthetic, to provide a more comfortable treatment. The gel is injected into the unwanted lines to add smoothness to the skin. The effect typically lasts 6 – 9 months, approved by the FDA to last up to one year.

BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a relatively new procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic has proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.

Laser Lipolysis of the Neck

Laser lipolysis is a very effective method for removing fat below the chin/jowls and tightening of the skin. This procedure may be performed in the office under local sedation.

First, the submentum and neck are numbed with local anesthetic. Next, the laser fiber is inserted under the skin through a tiny incision, that is easily hidden. Then the fat is melted by the laser’s energy and carefully removed with low suction. The heat from the laser stimulates collagen production causing the skin to tighten and thicken over time. Results from this treatment continue to improve over 3 – 6 months, to give you a better profile!

Schedule a cosmetic consultation to learn more about laser lipolysis and if this is the right procedure to achieve the chin/neck contour you desire. During your consultation, photos will be taken to visualize your results with our 3D VECTRA Imaging.

Perma Facial Lip Augmentation

Lip Augmentation using Perma Facial Implants is a non-surgical procedure designed to permanently enhance the natural shape of the lip providing natural-looking, fuller lips with minimal downtime. The implant is a soft, pliable silicone device that creates fuller lips without distorting the patient’s smile. The upper lip takes on a more youthful contour, enhancing the Cupid’s bow and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. The bottom lip develops an attractive pout.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) is a corrective procedure that can reduce “bags” under the eyes, remove excess skin and wrinkles of the eyes, and provide a more youthful appearance to the eyes. One of the first things noticed about a person is their eyes. During the aging process, wrinkles, lines, and puffiness contribute to a tired or aged appearance

The Natural Facelift

The Natural Facelift is a corrective procedure to restore volume to the whole face including the forehead and lips in one treatment by lipografting autologous fat (fat cells obtained from yourself) from a donor area to the face. Traditional facelifts pull the skin tight and give a smooth but flat look to the face. By adding volume to the face with your own fat, wrinkles smooth out and disappear, thin lips are made full, cheeks are lifted and you have a younger, refreshed look. The fat is prepared using the AdiPrep® Adipose (Fat) Transfer System that generates concentrated adipose tissue, separating away unwanted inflammatory oils, lipids and excess fluid resulting in minimal bruising and swelling and eliminating the need for over-filling for a more precise and predictable outcome. Another key benefit is the stem cells in your fat add volume AND rejuvenate the skin. Over time, you will see a natural glow to the skin.
