BOTOX ® Injections:

Botox ® Injections: Some wrinkles are the result of overactive muscles. A popular treatment for this is BOTOX ® injections. BOTOX ® (a controlled toxin) is a paralyzing agent injected directly into the muscles to reduce muscle activity. Common places to inject include the horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. BOTOX ® is temporary (3-4 months). It is an office-based procedure that does not require anesthesia and has little to no downtime.

Collagen Injections:

Collagen Injections: Collagen is an injectable filler made from cow protein and is used to fill or plump wrinkles or furrows. Popular places to inject include the lines between the eyebrows, lines between the nose and lips (nasolabial folds), lines to the side of the mouth, and lines around the lips. It is done as an in-office procedure, and does not require anesthesia. Recovery is usually one day. Keep in mind; collagen is temporary (3-4 months), therefore, repeated treatments are needed. Also, a test dose is required for first time users to determine the possibility of an allergic reaction.

Fat Injections:

Fat Injections: Fat taken from your own body is used as a soft tissue filler material. Since it is taken from your own body there is little possibility of an allergic reaction. Fat is taken from areas such as your abdomen, buttocks, or thighs using a small needle attached to a syringe. This is an in-office procedure, where the fat is injected in multiple thin strands into the treatment area. It is the belief that autologous fat injections may be long lasting or even permanent. Keep in mind; your body will absorb some of the fat and therefore repeated injections of stored fat may be needed for optimal results.
