FDA Approved Botox® is injected into the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. As the muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle also relaxes and wrinkles begin to soften. When used in small quantities, Botox® is very safe and it only affects the area that is treated. Commonly treated areas include frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkles around the eyes and horizontal lines on the forehead. To maintain results, Botox® injections are recommended every three to five months.

Restylane will smooth out wrinkles, enhance lips and sculpt facial contours. Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts producing instant results. This natural enhancement lasts for six months to a year.

Renewing the supply of collagen through injections can smooth facial lines, deep smile folds and scars. It is also successful in enhancing the lip line. Because it is a natural substance, collagen can be injected beneath the skin's surface and it will not be rejected. This treatment has an immediate, visible difference in the appearance of the skin and most people return to work immediately afterwards. The results usually last three to six months, at which time additional treatments are needed to maintain the effect.
