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!

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.

Learn more about Ultherapy. Contact us today and we will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Eliminating Unsightly Leg Veins

Friday, January 7th, 2011

The problem: you avoid wearing skirts and shorts because you hate the unsightly bluish, green road maps on your legs.  The solution: sclerotherapy. 

Sclerotherapy is a process in which the patient receives multiple injections of a sclerosing agent directly into the improperly functioning vein.   The sclerosing agent causes the walls of those veins to break down.  The blood that would have traveled through those veins finds deeper, healthier veins to flow through. 

Treatment of the legs takes about a half an hour, is done in the office and there are very few restrictions afterwards.  To learn more about the procedure, and how to get your legs ready to show off this summer, visit our website by clicking on the following link: http://www.dermsd.com/cd-sclerotherapy.html
