Injectables (Botox, Juvederm, Voluma, Sclerotherapy)

- Augment the natural contours of the face
- Enhance lip fullness
- Minimize and even prevent the formation of dynamic wrinkles
- Eliminate the appearance of varicose veins, spider veins, and other vascular lesions

Injectable Options for Every Aesthetic Concern!
- Botox®: Composed of a powerful neuromodulator known as botulinum toxin A, Botox® works by inhibiting the repeated contractions of facial muscles that, over time, cause the development of moderate to severe facial lines, wrinkles, and folds. A standard Botox® treatment can be completed in about 20 minutes, and requires no downtime or recovery time. The wrinkle-reducing benefits of a Botox® treatment are visible within a week, and last for approximately 3-4 months.
- Juvéderm®: This advanced, next-generation dermal filler is an ideal treatment for individuals seeking to eliminate deep facial wrinkles and restore the skin’s plump, youthful volume. This smooth injectable gel restores your skin’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), enabling your skin to naturally retain moisture and restore plumpness and volume. It is the only dermal filler approved by the FDA to last for up to one year, and is ideal for patients of all skin types, including thin, sensitive skin.
- Juvéderm VOLUMA™ (VOLUMA): VOLUMA is an advanced, HA-based dermal filler ideally suited for patients seeking to restore volume to the mid-face region: the apex, apple, and hollow of the cheek. VOLUMA has a long-standing and highly-successful track record of offering simply stunning anti-aging rejuvenation results, and because it is not made from animal products, it is perfect for individuals with sensitivities or allergies.
- Sclerotherapy: For individuals concerned about the appearance of small varicose veins, spider veins, and other vascular lesions, sclerotherapy is a powerful injectable alternative to vascular surgery. During the procedure, a safe chemical, or “sclerosing solution”, is injected into the damaged vein with a very fine needle. The chemical irritates the vein in order to spark the growth of scar tissue that will seal the vein and enable it to be safely and comfortably reabsorbed by the body. After your treatment, you may be required to wear compression/support stockings for 3-6 weeks, and while walking should begin immediately, more rigorous exercise can begin after the bruising recedes, usually about a month after treatment. Optimal results will require multiple treatments, usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
