INJECTABLES
WRINKLE RELAXERS
​
Wrinkle relaxers, aka “neuromodulators” or "neurotoxins", work by temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles that cause wrinkling. Wrinkle relaxers are injected with a fine needle directly into the muscles. The most common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows and lines around the eyes and mouth, though there are many more areas that can benefit from treatment with wrinkle relaxers.

The difference between Xeomin and Botox?
-
​The main difference between Xeomin and Botox is that Xeomin contains a “naked” form of botulinum toxin. Unlike Botox, which contains accessory proteins, Xeomin is designed to deliver the toxin without any protein additives. This purified structure may help prevent antibody resistance, a growing problem that has been seen with injections administered over time.

DERMAL FILLERS
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.

RADIESSE & RADIESSE+
-
Radiesse is unlike most other dermal fillers because it is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a natural compound found throughout the body. Radiesse works by stimulating natural collagen production, which provides the skin with the support and lift it needs to reduce lines and wrinkles.
-
Once injected, Radiesse provides immediate volume correction, but its most potent effect develops over time.
-
Over time, the carrier gel in Radiesse is absorbed, leaving just the tiny CaHA particles. Collagen forms around each sphere, increasing the volume of the targeted area. As such, Radiesse’s true value is in its effects as a bio-stimulatory agent that helps the body to produce its own skin rejuvenation effects.
-
This stimulation of natural collagen production has been shown in clinical studies to continue for up to 7-8 weeks after the Radiesse injection, accompanied by ongoing improvements in cosmetic effects.
