BOTOX®
Botulinum toxin commonly known by the brand name BOTOX® or DYSPORT® acts by blocking neuromuscular transmission causing temporary relaxation of nearby muscle tissue. This relaxation translates into a myriad of medical uses, both functional and cosmetic.
On the face, BOTOX® is commonly used to soften crow’s feet, forehead lines, and vertical lip lines. It can be used to temporarily lift brows, nasal tips, or downward mouth corners. It can widen eyes and smooth platysmal neck bands. Apart from cosmetic use, physicians utilize BOTOX® for a variety of medical conditions too.

Treatment Areas
DERMAL FILLER
Dermal fillers are substances that have been specifically designed to be injected under the surface of the skin at different levels to smooth out creases, enhance lips and facial contours, restore volume loss and provide a subtle ‘lift’ in certain areas.
The dermal fillers we use are made of hyaluronic acid (HA) - a naturally occurring sugar in the human body. Hyaluronic acids work by attracting water, adding new volume under the surface of sagging skin, and by binding to collagen and elastin to move additional nutrients into the skin.
Dermal fillers can be used in most areas of the face. To correct foundational support or the bone loss that occurs with age fillers can be placed deep directly onto the bone, under the muscle, or within the deep fat pads to restore volume and provide a natural rejuvenating effect. These areas include the temples, cheeks, deep mid-face fat pads, jaw angle or jawline, and chin. Fillers can also be placed sub-dermally or even intradermally in other areas to provide more support and smooth out lines and creases. Finally, fillers can also be used on the lips to hydrate, plump, enhance, or even out symmetry.
