Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found on your skin. As you age, you start to lose HA, which causes the skin to lose structure and volume, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds.
There are two different types of wrinkles:
Dynamic wrinkles are caused when muscles contract to make facial expressions such as smiles and frowns. Static wrinkles develop because our skin's natural substances (such as collagen and hyaluronic acid), which provide structure and volume, decrease over time.
Botox and Fillers are two possible ways to treat moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles. Both are non-surgical, but they work differently:
Botox is injected beneath the skin’s surface to target the underlying muscle activity which is one of the causes of moderate to severe lines such as those between the brows and crow’s feet. BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily reduce the activity of those muscles. The decreased muscle movement not only diminishes the lines for a smoother finish, but helps to prevent too.
Fillers and lifters are injected into the skin to lift tissue and smooth moderate to severe wrinkles. Certain fillers can also lift the aging skin causing a more youthful appearance. Volume can be restored to areas of tissue loss due to the aging process.
Areas addressed with Botox and Fillers.
Botox & Daxxify are FDA approved treatments to correct the signs of aging by relaxing the muscles that cause frown lines and wrinkles in the face. Both products are corrective and preventative. Schedule a consultation to learn about treatments to correct the signs of aging for you.
Each patient's dose/treatment plan is individualized. The amount and location of the injections depends on many factors.
One size does not fit all- neither does one dose! MicroTox(TM) -Botox without the “Freeze”
Lift the forehead and brows for a more youthful appearance with strategically placed Botox.
Strategically placed Botox lifts the corners of the mouth, decreases lines along the mid jaw and chin. Reverses the "orange peel" and prevents deep lines.
Vertical neck bands can be smoothed with the injection of Botox into the platysmal bands. The jawline may appear more refined.
Dermal fillers help lift tissue, diminish facial lines, and restore volume and fullness that was lost with age. This results in a more youthful appearance.
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat, muscle, and even bone. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. Tissue loses it's support, causing facial sagging.
Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.
Dermal fillers can be used in steps to Lift then Fill without over volumizing the cheeks or lips.
Treatments with fillers include:
Defining thin, aging lips
Volumizing thin lips
Enhance shallow contours
Soften facial creases and wrinkles
Improve the appearance of recessed scars
Lifting facial sagging which begins to occur in the mid/late 40's
Botox fillers work hand in hand to give you optimal results.

As you age, your skin's collagen and elastin simply break down faster than your body can rebuild them. The slowed remodeling of these skin-tightening proteins causes your skin to thin, droop and lose elasticity—which often leads to winkles, furrows and fine lines.
If you have wrinkles on your face or around your eyes, you've probably had a wonderful life, rich with laughter and emotional experiences. After all, expressions like smiling, laughing, pondering and squinting naturally involve the contraction of muscles—which can lead to wrinkles, furrows and fine lines.
Age spots are due more to sunning than aging. These spots—also called sunspots, brown spots or liver spots—are flat, uneven dark patches on the face, neck, chest, hands and arms and other areas that are regularly exposed to the sun. Though usually harmless, these blotchy brownish patches can make you look and feel older than you really are.
In the sun, your body reacts by producing a pigment called melanin to protect your skin from ultraviolet rays. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, your skin may overreact by producing too much melanin. That increased pigmentation can result in age spots, which fall into a broad medical category called "pigmented lesions."
Over the years, your skin is exposed to sun, air pollution, stress, fatigue and lifestyle factors such as smoking. It all can affect your skin's texture, color and tightness.
To resurface your skin and correct imperfections, there are many options from chemical peels to dermabrasion. But unlike other remedies that scrape, peel and cut the surface of your skin, Fraxel laser treatment has been cleared by the FDA to safely, gently and effectively resurface your skin from the inside out. That means improved texture, more even tone and smoother skin—all with minimal risks, and without discomfort and prolonged downtime of other procedures.
Scars are depressions or indentations in the skin that occur after a medical condition such as acne or after a surgical incision. Especially when they're on the face or other visible areas, scars can carry the the unpleasant reminders or take away from natural beauty.

Fraxel is the original fractional laser treatment that works below the skin’s surface, addressing imperfections like fine lines, visible photo aging, wrinkles, scarring and age spots. Fraxel light energy stimulates your skin’s natural collagen, rejuvenating skin cells below the surface to help smooth the creases & pockets that cause wrinkles and scars.
Medical grade blended chemical peels are offered in our practice. These types of peels reflect how they have advanced over time. We used to use only one peeling ingredient at very high concentrations which injured and then rejuvenated the skin. In contrast, The Peel blends several more natural chemical peeling ingredients each at a lower concentration to achieve the same degree of skin rejuvenation.
These new peels feature "layered technology" where the blended active ingredients work together, additively, synergistically, to potentiate each other--optimizing the results. This new technology is less caustic, safer, more predictable, more focused on specific skin problems, less uncomfortable, and faster to heal.
The Peel not only contains specific acids, but also Retinol to increase cell turnover and reduce pigment and Antioxidants to soothe and hydrate the skin.
