BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a protein that weakens muscles that wrinkle the skin. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes and forehead to reduce “worry lines”, “crow’s feet” and “frown lines”. BOTOX is administered by Dr. Youn, Christina Biotti, RN, BSN, Devon O’Connor-Kutz, PA, Rachael Hedtler, RN, BSN, and Marisa Orow, RN, BSN.
Dysport™
Like Botox, Dysport is an FDA approved botulinum toxin injection. It works very similarly to Botox, and some patients prefer it for various reasons.
It is effective in temporarily reducing facial wrinkles, and the treatments are nearly identical to Botox treatments.
Injectable Fillers
Restylane® (including Silk, Lyft, Defyne and Refyne), Juvéderm®, Voluma™, Volbella, and Vollure
These are temporary “filler products” used to add fullness to areas of the face such as the lips, cheeks and forehead. They are fast, effective ways to smooth facial lines and define the lip border. In addition, they can be used to fill in deep and shallow wrinkles that cannot be treated by BOTOX®. The results are immediate but temporary. Dr. Youn, Devon PA, Christina RN, BSN, Rachael, RN, BSN, and Marisa RN, BSN perform these procedures in the comfort and privacy of the office. We use topical anesthetics as well as dental blocks (in selected patients) to numb the skin. Downtime and discomfort are very minimal.
Sculptra®
Sculptra Aesthetic is the newest FDA approved injectable to improve wrinkles and facial volume. This long-term facial plumper has been shown to last 2 years or longer, and usually consists of 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. The results are gradual, but they add a softness and volume to the face which can create a nice, youthful rejuvenation. Dr. Youn, Devon, PA, and Rachael RN, BSN perform this procedure under topical anesthetics in the comfort of our office.
Kybella®
Kybella is an injectable treatment to reduce the fat of a double chin. It is composed of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the GI tract that dissolves fat. The treatment is quick, relatively painless, and requires no downtime in general. It does require 2 to 4 treatments for optimal effect. If you think Kybella might be for you, then feel free to call for a consultation with one of our staff members.
