A small amount of purified botulinum toxin is injected into a muscle which causes relaxation of that muscle. The muscle stops pulling on the overlying skin which leads to diminished appearance of lines or wrinkles. This effect becomes noticeable in 3-4 days, with full results in 2 weeks, and usually lasts four months but can be shorter or longer.
The lines most frequently treated include: frown lines, forehead lines , lip lines and Crow's feet. Other popular treatments areas are Bunny lines, neck bands and chin dimples.

Radiesse® is composed of small calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a soft gel matrix. Radiesse® is gently injected by your physician into the skin. Radiesse® stimulates your skin's own regeneration abilities – new collagen is produced over the following weeks and months, making your skin stronger and more elastic. Radiesse® treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. It is approved for improving skin quality on the face, hands, neck, and decolletage.

The filler products we use are sterile gels consisting of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid for injection to the skin. Their purpose is to correct facial lines, wrinkles and folds, enhance the lips and/ or shape of facial contours.

Results start to be noticeable approximately 4 days after treatment with the full effects usually noted within 2 weeks. Dryness of the treated underarms typically lasts 4 to 12 months.

A skin analysis consultation involves a comprehensive evaluation of the skin. It assesses various aspects, including skin pigmentation, pore dimensions, presence of porphyrins, UV-induced spots, sun-related damage, texture irregularities, and signs of aging.
