Injections: Wrinkle Relaxers
These are treatments that relax the wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Wrinkles that form as a result of reduced levels of collagen in the skin or increased skin laxity are common to mature skin, with some wrinkles forming as early as the mid-30s. With these treatments, all fine lines and wrinkles can be quickly and efficiently treated.
Treatments to relax wrinkles can generally be used on any area of the face. This includes horizontal lines on the forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and particularly nasolabial lines around the nose and mouth, also called “expression lines”.

How Soon Can You See Results?
You can usually start to see noticeable results from wrinkle relaxers within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with the full effect becoming apparent around 1 to 2 weeks later.
Fillers
Dermal Fillers
Cosmetic fillers are used to treat a variety of problems including fines lines and wrinkles around the mouth, laugh lines, marionette lines, dark circles under the eyes and volume loss in the cheeks. They can also be used to rejuvenate the hands and create soft, fuller lips. Dermal Fillers in the cheeks and chin can restore a youthful look by creating lift to the mid face. Dermal fillers last 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of filler used.

Radiesse: A Revolutionary Dermal Filler
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler used for facial volume restoration and wrinkle reduction. It is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, which not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates collagen production in the skin over time.
Benefits of Radiesse:
Immediate Results: Radiesse provides instant volume and smoothing of wrinkles and folds, enhancing facial contours.
Long-Lasting: The results can last for 12 to 18 months or longer, depending on the individual’s skin and treatment area.
Collagen Stimulation: Beyond its immediate effects, Radiesse encourages the body to produce its own collagen, improving skin texture and elasticity.
Versatile Treatment Areas: It can be used to treat various areas, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and volume loss in the cheeks and temples.
Treatment Process:
1. Consultation: A thorough consultation to assess your goals and determine if Radiesse is right for you.
2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort.
3. Injection: Radiesse is injected using a fine needle, and the gel is gently massaged to ensure even distribution.
4. Post-Care: Minimal downtime is associated with Radiesse, and you can typically return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Radiesse is suitable for adults seeking to reduce facial wrinkles and enhance volume. Ideal candidates are those in good health with realistic expectations regarding their aesthetic goals.
