Neuromodulators

Dysport and Botox.

A prescription injection proven to help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines.

Wrinkles aren’t your style and the “frozen look” isn’t either. For adults who want a natural look, there’s Dysport and Botox, prescription injections proven to help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles of the face and neck. Common areas treated are pictured.

After treatment, the majority of users start to see improvement in just a few days. With one short treatment session, Dysport or Botox may help improve wrinkles for up to 4 months, and prevent them from worsening over time. There is little downtime after your treatment, which means you can get back to your day faster, and treatments are generally quite safe with minimal risks.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are a simple, non-surgical way to restore volume, refine contours, and enhance your natural features.

Premium hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are used, injected using the safest and most comfortable techniques, to hydrate, smoothe, and sculpt the areas pictured, as well as calcium hydroxyapatite to provide structure and stimulate your body’s own collagen production for longer-lasting firmness and definition.

Whether softening smile lines, lifting the midface, or sharpening the jawline and more, treatments are tailored to enhance – never overfill. The goal is refreshed, natural-looking results with minimal downtime – subtle improvements that still look like you, just well-rested and confident.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), also known as the “Vampire Facial”, is a nonsurgical procedure where an injection of your body’s own platelets and plasma is placed into the tissues of your face, similar to a dermal filler.

PRP allows for the formation and release of growth factors and active proteins that promote healing and stimulate facial rejuvenation.

The process involves drawing blood from your arm, spinning the tubes in a centrifuge, extracting the concentrated platelet rich plasma, and placing it under the skin of the face using a small cannula.

Medical injectables

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It refers to any abnormal sweating, such as sweating when it’s not hot. People who sweat excessively often soak through their clothing or drip sweat. Regular antiperspirants don’t work well for those with this condition. Botox injections are a new treatment option for people with hyperhidrosis. You may be a candidate for Botox if your sweating fails to improve with prescription antiperspirants. Botox has been FDA-approved for people who sweat excessively from their armpits. It may also be used “off-label” to reduce sweating in other areas, such as the hands, feet, and face. Off-label use refers to using a medication for something other than what it was approved to treat. In this case, it means that Botox hasn’t gone through the same amount of rigorous testing to confirm its effectiveness for treating excessive sweating in other areas of the body.

Botox for Migraines

Does Botox Work for Migraine Headaches?

In a study of adults who get chronic migraine headaches, shots of Botox cut down the total number of days they had them or even other types of headaches. They also had more “crystal-clear” pain-free days each month, and they reported fewer days off work.

In another study, nearly half the people who took two rounds of Botox shots reported that the number of days they had a headache each month was cut in half. After five rounds of treatment, that increased to about 70% of the people.

Doctors think Botox works for migraine headaches because it blocks chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from your brain. Botox is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck.

BOTOX® Treatment for Jaw Tension and TMJ

BOTOX® is used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) disorders and associated jaw tension and pain. When injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, BOTOX® relieves TMJ and jaw tension for many patients. The injections often eliminate headaches resulting from teeth grinding, and, in cases of severe stress, BOTOX® can even minimize lock jaw. Although BOTOX® treatment for these conditions is presently experimental; evidence indicates that it can be extremely effective.

How Does BOTOX® Treat Jaw Tension and TMJ Disorder?

Located on both sides of the head at the point where the jawbone meets the skull, the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) is used during talking, eating, swallowing, and other everyday activities. If this joint becomes displaced or is overworked through excessive teeth grinding, a person may suffer severe tension headaches, as well as sharp pain in the jaw. BOTOX® relieves jaw tension by making muscles unable to engage in the powerful, often unconscious movement of the jaw that produces headaches and pain. The BOTOX® alternative treatment for TMJ disorders and jaw tension is usually quick, straightforward, and effective. A non-surgical procedure, BOTOX® injections are administered in a doctor’s office and treatment requires no hospital stay. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within one or two days of their first treatment, although relief can take up to a week.

Deoxycholic acid injections

Create a smoother jawline with deoxycholic acid injections!

Deoxycholic Acid is an acid that is naturally found in the body.

It is used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe Submental fat, also known as the dreaded “Double Chin”. Deoxycholic Acid works by breaking down cells in the fatty tissue to achieve permanent fat cell destruction.
