BOTOX AND FILLERS
Botox
Fillers
If the lines on your face are making you look and feel old, fillers may help make you look younger and rejuvenated. As you get older, the effectiveness of your skin’s natural collagen decreases, causing lines and wrinkles to form around the eyes, lips, forehead, between the brows, nasolabial folds and around the corner of the mouth. Fillers can replenish your own tired collagen resulting in firmer tighter skin and less lines. Fillers can also help to eliminate or reduce scarring from acne and other conditions. Fillers are a non-surgical procedure. Although you will see immediate results, several treatments may be necessary, depending on your age and the condition of your skin.
Juvederm Ultra $550 per syringe may last 1 year to 15 months.
Juverderm Ultra Plus $575 per syringe may last 1 year to 15 months and is thicker and is best for filling deeper lines.
Volbella $500 per syringe for lips.
Voluma $750 per syringe for cheeks.
BOTOX
What is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic is the first and only FDA-approved product to temporarily improve both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow´s feet lines around the sides of the eyes.
How does BOTOX® Cosmetic Works?
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow´s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Your doctor will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You´ll begin to notice a visible smoothing of these lines.
How is BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) administered?
To temporarily improve moderate to severe crow´s feet, your doctor will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscle surrounding the sides of your eyes—called the orbicularis oculi.
For temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines, BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into 2 muscles—the corrugator and procerus muscles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a quick, 10 minute procedure that requires no downtime or recovery—it´s often called a lunchtime procedure.
