Dermal Fillers
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® has been regarded by some as the fountain of youth. It is a purified chemical that is injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, restoring your youthful appearance quickly, safely, and easily. BOTOX® has become increasingly popular because it is an easy, non-invasive way of reversing the signs of aging.
Collagen
Collagen is the fibrous protein that gives skin its elasticity. Collagen injections have been used for decades to replenish the skin´s suppleness and to help maintain its youthful appearance. Collagen is a safe, non-surgical treatment that can smooth out facial lines, wrinkles, and scars. The effects of collagen injections can last between six months and two years. Collagen injections can be repeated as necessary.
Restylane
Restylane is a revolutionary solution to wrinkles and thin lips. This soft tissue filler is injected to gently smooth away fine lines around the lips, mouth, and forehead, leaving no marks at the injection sites. Restylane, a completely biodegradable product, is natural and extremely safe. Performed in 30-minute sessions, Restylane treatments are long-lasting and can be repeated as necessary, typically every six to 12 months.
