Botox

Call for pricing

BOTOX® is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. It works by blocking the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. It can work on all skin types.

Within days of just one 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—there's a noticeable improvement which can last up to 4 months, after which Botox starts to disappear, without breaking down or traveling through the body. BOTOX® is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those lines to form over time. There is no downtime, and normal daily activities can be resumed immediately following a treatment.

Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.  It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Anti-Wrinkle Dermal Fillers

As we grow older, the effects of sun damage, aging, and smoking result in loss of collagen and fat. Skin loses elasticity and supporting collagen from beneath the surface. Dermal fillers can plump out lines and rejuvenate our faces beautifully. Combined with muscle changes, wrinkles and folds occur on the face, particularly around the lips, the the lines from the nose to the mouth, and frown lines between the eyes. Cosmetic products are available today to “plump" or "fill" out these areas. Physicians can inject directly into the depression, creating a more youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers are safe non-surgical treatments that smooth facial lines, wrinkles, and scars by replenishing the natural collagen. Dermal filler treatments are not permanent and must be repeated every 4 - 6 months.  It is highly effective and used by millions of people all over the world.

Sclerotherapy (sp)

Call for pricing

Sclerotherapy is the diminishing of what’s commonly referred to as Spider Veins -- those clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. It’s estimated that at least half of the adult female population experiences this common cosmetic problem.

Sclerotherapy is a rather simple procedure where veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins: aching, burning, swelling and night cramps. Women of any age may be good candidates for sclerotherapy, but most fall in the 30-to-60 category. The procedure treats only those veins that are currently visable; it does nothing to permanently prevent new veins from surfacing in the future. As time passes, you may find that you need "touch-ups" or full treatments for new veins that surface. A typical sclerotherapy session is relatively quick, lasting only about 15 to 45 minutes.

Although spider veins are connected with the larger venous system, they are not an essential part of it. A number of factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including:

• heredity
• pregnancy and other events that cause hormonal shifts
• weight gain
• occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing
• use of certain medications.  
  

Note: Spider Veins are not varicose veins. Varicose veins are larger - usually more than a quarter-inch in diameter, darker in color and tend to bulge. Varicose veins are also more likely to cause pain and be related to more serious vein disorders. For some patients, sclerotherapy can be used to treat varicose veins. However, often surgical treatment is necessary for this condition.
