Botox

The #1 selling treatment of its kind

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them temporarily look visibly smoother.

JUVÉDERM®, VOLUMA® XC, VOLBELLA® XC

JUVÉDERM® is a collection of hyaluronic acid fillers that adds volume to a different area of the face — without surgery.  Hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume. Each product in the JUVÉDERM®collection of fillers is made from a modified form of HA.

Different formulations are used to either lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, smooth vertical lip lines or plump the lips. The results are subtle and long-lasting.

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a quick 10-minute treatment that works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look better.

SKINVIVE™

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness, leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks.

In clinical studies, patients who were treated with SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® also reported high satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked through 6 months.

Fat Reduction

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.

Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.

Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given about six weeks apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments.
