  • Dysport® / Botox®

    Both Botox and Dysport are a cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, that are used to relax muscles. They block the signal from the nerve to the muscles, which temporarily prevents contraction that cause creases and lines to form and deepen over time.

    Used in the forehead and frown lines (glabella or 11s), around the eyes (crow’s feet), around the mouth (smile lines), in the jawline and chin, scrunched nose (bunny lines), to lift the brow or the corners of the mouth and more.

  • Dermal Fillers

    Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid that is injected to add fullness and to smooth deep lines and creases of the face like the nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to the mouth). Fillers can also be used on the lips to increase fullness of your sexiest facial feature. Fillers typically last 6-12 months.

    Used in the cheeks, around the eyes, around the mouth (smile lines), in the jawline and chin, in the lips, and more.

  • Sculptra®

    Sculptra is an FDA-approved, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that helps to gradually replace lost collagen and restore facial fullness. Sculptra works within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and restore the skin’s inner structure and volume, ultimately diminishing deep lines and wrinkles and adding youthful fullness back to a person’s face.

    Used in the cheeks, around the mouth (smile lines), in the jawline and chin and in the buttocks.

  • PRP Injections

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use your own natural elements without the addition of any foreign products. The treatment works by drawing a small sample of your blood which is spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the other blood particles. The separated PRP is then injected into the treatment area to stimulate collagen and elastin production. PRP injections regenerate your own collagen and elastin over time restoring and rejuvenating the treated area.

    Used in sunken under-eye troughs, cheeks, around the mouth and to restore hair loss.

Treatment Areas

  • Our foreheads move constantly with our facial expressions. Frowning, squinting and stress can deepen our Glabella or 11s. These lines and wrinkles can be temporarily reduced and eliminated using Botox or Dysport. Over time, the less these muscles produce the lines, the less prominent they will be as we age.

  • Smiling and squinting can deepen creases around the eyes which can be reduced with Botox and Dysport.

    Temples can lose volume as we age and create a sunken in look. Sculptra can be administered in this area to help the body naturally regenerate collagen and replenish the area with the fullness it once had.

  • Fillers are a great option to instantly add volume to cheeks, around the mouth (smile lines) and nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to mouth).

    Sculptra is also an effective alternative to filler that stimulates your bodies natural ability to generate collagen. It restores youthful fullness and improves skin quality over time.

  • As with our skin, our lips also lose volume over time. Fillers are a great way to add natural looking volume to your sexiest facial feature.

  • Fillers can be used in the jaw and chin to tighten skin and add definition to your natural face contours.

  • Sculptra can be used in the upper buttocks to add volume and lift the cheeks. By stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen, Sculptra can add volume and improve the texture of the skin.
