Wrinkle-relaxing injections that are commonly known as Botox® or Dysport®. They are injected into specific areas to create a temporary loss of muscle tone, which results in a reduction of expression lines, increased luminosity of the skin, and even an elevation of the eyebrows, producing a softened, pleasing effect. Wrinkle-relaxers can last up to 3-4 months, and side effects include temporary, minimal bruising at the site of the injections.

As we age, our face loses important support structures. Loss of bone, muscle, and fat pads contribute to tissue shifts, which in turn, create lines, folds, shadowing, and sagging. Dermal filler is used to replenish those structures, provide soft support where needed, and bring your skin closer to its former appearance. In our trained hands, filler is used to restore–not augment–and is an important tool in creating undetectable, natural results.

Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulant made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that ramps up your body's production of collagen. Collagen is broken down by 1% each year, thus, as we age, our skin loses its luster and structure, creating laxity and leaving a dull appearance. With Sculptra®, we can slowly replenish your own collagen and restore that youthful glow. Radiesse® is an injectable biostimulant made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) that stimulates your body's natural collagen production. As we age, collagen levels decline by about 1% each year, leading to loss of volume, skin laxity, and a less vibrant appearance. Radiesse® helps restore structure and firmness by replenishing collagen over time, giving your skin a refreshed, youthful glow.

Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin are derived entirely from your own blood, making it one of the most natural ways to rejuvenate the face. The process includes drawing your blood, processing it in a centrifuge, and then reinjecting it into specified areas. PRP and PRF have amazing healing properties, which result in cellular regeneration and collagen stimulation. It is commonly used for the under eyes and typically done in a series of three treatments.

Injection lipolysis is a procedure that breaks down fat through an injection. Kybella® is the commercial name for deoxycholic acid. Your body naturally produces this substance in your digestive system. It helps to break down fats so they're more easily digested. When Kybella® is injected into your chin, it kills fat cells, reducing the appearance of a double chin. Kybella® is FDA approved for use in the submental area, but may be used off-label on other areas of the body.

Microneedling with SkinPen Precision is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, pore size, and skin tone and texture. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production for improved overall skin rejuvenation.
