Botox and Dysport Services

  • Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators that are injected into a certain muscle with a ultra-fine needle. It works by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract. The repetitious contraction of facial muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles.

  • You will see your results gradually over 5-14 days following injection.

  • Most clients will see results for 3-4 months.

  • Forehead, eye area (crow’s feet), brow lift, frown lines (between eye brows), under eyes, bunny lines (nose), gummy smile, lip flip, chin dimpling, masseters (TMJ, face slimming effect).

  • Botox for migraines & hyperhydrosis (armpits, palms of hands, feet).

  • The procedure is not considered painful. Most patients report a brief period of discomfort during the injection, which does not persist once the procedure is complete.

  • Some patients wonder if they are ‘too young’ or ‘too old’ to try Botox. There is no right or wrong age to start getting treatments. Typically you start showing in the mid to late twenties. The purpose of injecting at this age is to prevent deep lines and creases on the face, which are more difficulty to correct later on.

Dermal Fillers

  • As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat, which means facial muscles are are working closer to the surface of the skin. Skin also can stretch and lose elasticity. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to help replace that lost fat, smooth out wrinkles and bring back hydration to the face.

  • Add fullness & hydration to lips, soften crease and wrinkles, add fullness to cheeks, improving the appearance of scars, contouring the chin and nose, decreasing hollowing of the under eyes.

  • After your initial consultation, you can proceed with the treatment. If desired Most treatments take approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The treatment area will be cleaned and topical numbing cream and ice pack may be applied to keep you comfortable. Dermal filler is administered using a very fine needle or cannula.

  • Dermal fillers are made of a protein naturally found in the body called Hyaluronic acid. They are placed in the skin to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance. They smooth unwanted lines and wrinkles, plump, replace volume loss, fill in under-eye bags and bring back the natural, more youthful looking contours of your face. Fillers are proven to last 6-18 months depending on areas treated and amount of product used. You will be able to see very visible, natural-looking results immediately after the treatment.

  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is the skin’s key tool in retaining water, and its presence in the skin creates volume and elasticity. HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body.

  • Results vary on the individual. However, most can expect results on average to last between 6-12 months.

PRP for Hair Rejuvenation

  • Platelet-rich plasma aka PRP has recently been introduced as an exciting alternative to traditional hair restoration treatments. It helps stimulate hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft.

    This hair restoration treatment works by injecting your platelet-rich plasma right into the scalp, where thinning hair or hair loss is most obvious. Over time, hair grows back, leaving patients with thicker and fuller hair.

  • PRP facial treatment is a rejuvenation treatment for your skin that is an alternative to a surgical facelift. A trained professional takes a sample of your blood, runs it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets in your plasma, and then uses it to treat the desired area such as full face, hands and under eyes.

  • Potenza delivers focused radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat the skin. Using RF technology will trigger the body’s natural response to create an increased level of collagen and elastin production, resulting in an enhanced skin revitalization treatment versus microneedling alone.
