Facial contouring with BOTOX® Cosmetic or various other cosmetic fillers can make positive changes in the way we look.  Everyday we make facial expressions that cause tissue to gather into a fold which cause a chronic crease in our skin.

BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified form of the toxin that blocks nerve impulses to muscles, causing relaxation.  Once a muscle action has been relaxed, existing creases fade and further ones are prevented.  This treatment also shows remarkable results in brow elevation.  It can widen the eye area and give you an open, refreshed appearance.

Hylaform & Restylane
Hylaform & Restylane gels are biocompatible substances designed to replace lost hyaluronan in your skin.  Hyaluronan is responsible for binding water and keeping skin moist.  The water volume provides a cushion for the skin.  Overtime hyaluronan loses its moisturizing capabilities resulting in skin that begins to sag and crease.  When either of these gels are injected under the surface of the skin, your own framework is strengthened and literally gets a boost.  The treatment is effective for wrinkles and lines, as well as scar depressions.  The injection can actually fill out the area until its surface is level with the surrounding skin.

Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, anesthetic ointment may be used to numb the discomfort of a BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane or Hylaform treatment.  The procedures take minutes to perform and the effects usually take just days to become apparent.  After the procedure cold compresses may be applied to reduce any redness.
