Radiesse dermal filler is a FDA approved wrinkle treatment made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. It is the ideal choice for total facial contouring. It is used to fill in nasolabial folds, fine lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth, marionette lines, Bridge Augmentation, Nasal Defect Correction, and Nasal Tip Projection, Jaw Line Enhancement, sculpting cheekbones and fill in pitted acne. With Radiesse you can restore a healthy, youthful appearance or enhance your existing features without invasive surgery or scarring. Radiesse works with your own body in a remarkable way. Upon injection, it immediately adds volume and, unlike other fillers, it continues to work over time. After injection, Radiesse starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and encouraging collagen to grow around the injection area. It actually helps your body create its own naturally younger look, setting a new standard in facial contouring and augmentation. There’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Treatment is so simple and convenient, it can be performed during a lunch hour. You’ll see the results right away - and these results may last up to a year or more for many patients. The long-lasting effects of Radiesse dermal filler can reduce the need for retreatment, which saves you time and money compared with other fillers. I have yet to see any other filler that can do what this one does,  it is amazing!! I have attached some before and after pictures for you to see how great the results are.

What causes frown lines and crows feet? As you age, your skin becomes less taut and repetitive movements, such as squinting or frowning, lead to furrows and folds in your skin. The sun and other sources of ultraviolet light damage our skin as well, and this damage makes the face more susceptible to wrinkling.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, wrinkles around the eyes, chin or, forehead, and even give you a fuller upper lip. BOTOX works by blocking the chemical that causes these muscles to contract. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The procedure involves a couple tiny injections and is often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure” because treatment is so brief and requires no recovery. No anesthesia is required and within 3-5 days you will notice a softening in the appearance of the wrinkles. It takes a week for full effect, but results can continue to improve for up to a month. My favorite thing about BOTOX is that it looks so natural you won’t look like you had “work done”. The muscle activity is simply reduced, so you are still able to show expression but without the wrinkles! Curious how you’d look with BOTOX? Upload your own photo and try this treatment visualizer!
