Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation

We provide a number of non-surgical cosmetic treatments to help our patients quickly and easily achieve excellent aesthetic results, and to augment any of the surgical aesthetic procedures we provide.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic

We provide BOTOX® Cosmetic to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and other common signs of age. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a dilute, purified form of Botulinum toxin, which is an extremely effective muscle relaxant. Although BOTOX® Cosmetic is a toxin, there are little to no serious side effects. When BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the superficial muscles of the face, it relaxes these muscles and prevents the wrinkle lines caused by squinting, frowning and raising our eyebrows. Our surgeons utilize BOTOX® Cosmetic to reduce fine lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows and in the forehead, as well as to reduce lines at the corners of the eyes, commonly known as crow’s feet.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is used only in the areas of the face around the eyes and forehead, so as not to affect a person’s smile. It is important to understand that BOTOX® Cosmetic is temporary and only relaxes the overall facial muscles that cause wrinkles. After treatment, most patients’ skin feels normal and they experience normal sensations in all treated areas. Muscles that are not treated and related to other expressions are not affected. Most patients see results within four to five days and the effect of BOTOX® Cosmetic lasts, on average, for three to four months.

Glycolic Acid Peel

By removing the damaged outer layers of skin cells from the face, a glycolic acid peel can help create smoother, more evenly toned skin. The precise strength of the treatment can be adjusted to meet each patient’s individual needs. Although not a substitute for cosmetic surgery, a glycolic acid peel can provide a dramatic esthetic result.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion gently removes the outermost layers of dead skin cells to expose those which have not been damaged by everyday environmental factors. Microdermabrasion is performed through the spraying of microcrystals, which removes dead skin cells and promotes the development of new cells to achieve younger looking skin.

Obagi Blue Peel^®

The Obagi Blue Peel® system is a trichloroacetic acid (TCA) treatment which offers fast, dramatic results. Obagi Blue Peel® solution can be administered at a strength pre-determined to meet each patient’s individual needs. The treatment successfully improves the appearance of scarring and discoloration by removing dead skin cells and helping new, more vibrant skin to take its place.

Restylane^®

Restylane® is an injectable treatment designed to slow the effects of aging by filling in lines and wrinkles. Restylane® is a gel that is composed of hyaluronic acid. Restylane® is non-animal-based and biodegradable and the hyaluronic acid it contains closely resembles the body’s own hyaluronic acid.
