Staying young and vibrant looking has never been easier.  The Medical Spa can help you address the fine lines and wrinkles that are a typical concern with aging.

Botox® is used for a variety of reasons, the most common being the fine lines and wrinkles between the eyes, the forehead, and the crows feet around the eyes.  Botox® is a non-surgical procedure to temporarily reduce those moderate to severe lines between the brows, forehead, and around the eyes.   

FAQ's

1. How does BOTOX® work?

Movement of the muscles of the face causes the skin to crease. Over time the skin becomes less elastic. Repeated movement creates visible lines. BOTOX® relaxes these muscles thereby softening lines and wrinkles in the skin.

2. Who is BOTOX® for?

For anyone over the age of 18 who is concerned with lines or wrinkles between the brows, on the forehead or around the eyes (crow's feet) We recommend that dynamic wrinkles, the kind of lines that show on your face when you make expressions, are best addressed early, before they become more permanent passive lines.

3. Is Treatment with BOTOX® painful?

Botox® injection is a simple 15-minute process consisting of a few tiny injections with a fine gauge needle. Topical numbing cream or a cold pack may be used prior to injection. Any discomfort is usually minimal and brief.

4. Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?

Although results are visible, BOTOX® will not radically change your facial expressions or make you look like you've "had work done". The muscle activity that causes wrinkles is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised, you'll just be surprised without the wrinkles.

5. When will I see results and how long will they last?

Within days you may see a marked improvement in the treated areas. The appearance of lines and wrinkles continue to soften for up to a month, but most people experience the peak benefit at about 1 week. Your results will last up to 3-4 months.

    Our skin changes as we age. Over time, wrinkles and folds form and the natural volume of youthful skin begins to fade. However, this can be prevented with Juvederm™. Juvederm™ is an FDA approved injectable gel that is a “next-generation” dermal filler. This smooth consistency gel aids in restoring your skin’s volume and smoothens facial wrinkles and folds. It helps get rid of “smile lines” and “parentheses” (nasolabial folds – the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). Juvederm™ is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance in your skin that adds volume and hydration. Juvederm™ is eased under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel that everyone will notice.

    Juvederm™ injectable gel is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has been FDA approved and is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. The injection process takes about 45 minutes and results are immediate, and there’s virtually no down time. Juvederm™ Ultra and Juvederm™ Ultra Plus are injected into the mid to deep dermis for correction of medium to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Side effects are usually mild to moderate and include temporary injection site reactions like redness, pain, firmness, swelling, and bumps.
