Begin a Customized Anti-Aging Treatment Plan
If you’re unhappy with the health and appearance of your skin, or expression lines and volume loss have made you feel older and less confident about your appearance, we can change that. With a customized anti-aging treatment plan, we can safely and naturally improve your appearance, your skin, and your confidence.
Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Daxxify are all popular cosmetic injectable neurotoxins designed to treat expression lines in the upper and lower face. Neurotoxins are used to smooth lines across the forehead, at the outer corners of the eyes, and in between the eyebrows. Whether you treat forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet, the treatment process is the same. We will administer the exact amount of product to the muscles responsible for the repetitive expressions causing your dynamic wrinkles to significantly reduce.
After your initial treatment, you’ll see results within the first few days, and they’ll continue to improve for 2 weeks post-treatment. You can expect your results to last approximately 3 to 6 months, after which you will need a maintenance treatment to extend your results and maintain your desired appearance.
Discomfort during your injection is minimal. The area can be numbed with a topical anesthetic or cold pack before the injection. We use both needle and cannula as indicated for dermal filler injections. The use of a cannula is a gentler option and has many benefits including increased precision, decreased risk of pain, bruising, and swelling, and is more efficient in treating larger dermal areas.
Results are immediate and will continue to improve in the weeks following initial treatment. Results can last anywhere from six months to two years based on the product, the injection location, the mobility of the treatment area, and how quickly your body metabolizes the ingredients.
Sculptra stands out for its unique ability to stimulate collagen production, an essential protein in maintaining skin elasticity and strength. Rather than just filling in lines, Sculptra gradually restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles by rejuvenating the skin’s inner structure. This treatment is perfect for those seeking long-lasting, natural enhancement.
Sculptra is a biostimulator and works differently from our hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers because it contains an active ingredient called poly-L-lactic acid that stimulates your body to produce new collagen at the injection sites. Sculptra is a natural approach for a full facial rejuvenation plan targeted at treating volume loss in the temples, mid face, and lower face.
Sculptra’s collagen stimulation action restores volume, tightens tissues, and rebalances facial contours in a way no other product can. As a favorite anti-aging product among our clients, Sculptra creates a face-lift effect by causing your skin to produce more of its own collagen, and results provide 25+ months of longevity.
Radiesse is also a favorite anti-aging product among our clients since it is recognized for its dual-action benefits. Not only does it provide immediate volume correction, but it also encourages natural collagen and elastin production for long-term improvement. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, Radiesse is particularly effective for contouring and defining areas such as the cheeks and jawline while smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
A newer and highly effective use for Radiesse is the technique of hypderdilution. When diluted and injected superficially, Radiesse acts as a collagen stimulating agent. The Hyperdilute Radiesse technique combines the filler with saline and lidocaine, thinning the consistency and increasing the volume of product. The Hyperdilute Radiesse is then injected into the desired superficial areas through a thin cannula. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, back of hands, and the neck. This treatment is a favorable alternative to surgical intervention such as a face lift or neck lift.
Platelet Rich Fibrin is a safe, effective, and natural alternative to hyaluronic dermal fillers. A sample of blood is taken and the nutrient rich plasma is separated and injected into certain facial areas to improve skin texture and quality. This can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The most common injection areas include tear troughs, lower face, and fine lines around the mouth. The PRF process results in a different preparation than PRP, resulting in a higher concentration of platelets and a stronger release of growth factors. PRF contains fibrin, a protein that helps support tissue repair and regeneration. PRF injections are typically used to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin and work to stimulate your body’s production of collagen.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling techniques with radiofrequency energy to double the collagen-boosting benefits. It can restore a youthful appearance by naturally increasing collagen production by creating micro-wounds on the skin and delivering controlled amounts of radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers. Results appear within the first few weeks of treatment and can last a year or longer. Regular treatments can help you combat aging and restore youthful, healthy-looking skin.
We also offer application of topical regenerative exosomes by BENEV on all post Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatments to intensely hydrate the skin, reduce post procedure irritation, and boost results. This powerful potent serum contains stem cell derived exosomes, growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, amino acids, vitamins and minerals which enhance collagen production up to 600%, elastin production up to 300%, and increase fibroblast and connective tissue production by 80%.
Forma facials are often called non-surgical facelifts because they use radiofrequency energy, the gold standard of skin tightening, to reverse aging and improve the complexion. During the treatment, the device will lift and tighten the skin, contour the face, and stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. Once it’s over, you can expect brighter skin, more defined features, and additional results within a few weeks of treatment.
