Plump Up Your Pout With Dermal Filler

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

Lacking in the lip department?  Dermal fillers, such as Restylane, can help give you the pouty look you want for up to 6 months for the average patient.  Nervous about injections into the lips?  The FDA recently expanded the use of Restylane and it now is officially indicated for lip augmentation (in patients over 21).  What exactly is Restylane?  Restylane is hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occuring compound in the body.  It is not from an animal source like it’s predecessor collagen, so it is very well tolerated and you see the results instantly!

Non-Surgical Lifting and Tightening – Ulthera

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Has your brow and jawline migrated south for the winter? Not ready, or willing, to go the surgical route? Ulthera is a non-surgical alternative to going under the knife, and it’s the only device with FDA approval to lift and tighten lax skin.

What is Ultherapy, you may ask. Well… Ultherapy uses ultra-sound technology to lift and tighten tissue- no incisions, sutures or downtime necessary! The procedure, which takes about an hour to complete, addresses the brow and the jawline. Ulthera treatment opens up the eye area, improves the appearance of “jowls,” and contours the jawline. And the best part? You can go out to dinner the same night, as Ulthera has  no downtime!

For the first time ever, “Ultherapy” allows us to direct sound waves deep under the skin to the tissue that would otherwise need to be addressed in surgery. The tissue heats up, resulting in lifted, tighter skin without disrupting the skin’s surface. The Ulthera also promotes the creation of new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness.

A New Weapon in the Fight Against Wrinkles

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

xeominMove over Botox and Dysport, here comes some competition!  Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) was recently approved by the FDA for cosmetic use.  Xeomin has been widely used in the past to treat cervical dystonia and blepharospasm.  With the recent FDA approval it can now be used to treat frown lines.  Xeomin is manufactured by Merz Aesthetics, the same company that manufactures Radiesse dermal filler.  Xeomin doesn’t contain the same complex proteins as its competitors, which could potentially decrease the risk of certain side effects.
