Botox® and Dysport®
Botox® and the new similar product, Dysport®, prevent or soften lines on the forehead
and around the eyes, reduce aging around the mouth, and can give a brow lift effect.
These medications can also reduce sweating from the underarms, treat headaches,
and relieve neck pain. Whether for cosmetic or medical indications,
the procedure is safe and cost-effective. Botox® and Dysport® are used in a
strictly sterile fashion and according to manufacturer specifications.
Injectable Dermal Fillers
Restylane®, Perlane®, and Juvederm®
These products address changes associated with the aging face by adding volume where it has been
lost, improving contours and softening wrinkles. The lines from the nose to the mouth
(nasolabial folds) and mouth to the chin ("marionette" lines) are commonly treated,
as are the lips, cheeks, and temples. Even the hands and earlobes can be treated to soften
the effects of aging.
All fillers are FDA-approved materials and are used in a strictly sterile fashion.
Bruising and swelling are more common than with Botox®, please see the FAQ page
for more information.
