BOTOX® Cosmetic
Botox® is commonly used to reduce the wrinkles that are accentuated by facial expression. Commonly treated areas include the frown lines, the forehead wrinkles, and the lines around the eyes (crow’s feet). Botox® can also be used to treat the lines around the lips, to elevate the corners of the mouth, to reduce the pebbly look on the chin, to soften the lines on the neck, and other areas on the face. Botox® works by relaxing the muscles that cause facial expression thereby eliminating the wrinkles. It entails a series of injections with a very small needle. It is a quick procedure with virtually no side effects and the duration of effect is 3-4 months. Botox® has a very high patient satisfaction rate and has been safely used in millions of patients.

Juvéderm® is a very popular filling agent used to fill in nasolabial folds (laugh lines around the nose and mouth), the wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, sunken cheeks, the hollowed appearance below the eyes, and to augment and shape the lips. It is composed of a polymer called hyaluronic acid which is a natural substance found below the skin to provide structure together with collagen.

The active ingredient in KYBELLA^® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA^® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
