Minimally Invasive Procedures to Minimize Fine Lines, Wrinkles and Facial Creases

BOTOX®, Restylane®, Juvéderm, Radiesse and Scuptura are popular nonsurgical techniques for treating wrinkles and facial lines. Most patients are pleased with the results of these minimally invasive procedures. These procedures, however, cannot correct facial sagging or achieve the same results as facelift, eyelid surgery, browlift, or skin resurfacing.

Minimally Invasive procedures to treat fine lines, wrinkles and facial creases include:

BOTOX® is most effective in treating the lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contraction during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. The BOTOX® is injected directly into the muscles in these areas in a series of injections with extremely small needles. The procedure takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to perform and the expression lines in the treatment areas will usually appear noticeably softer within a few days. While most patients are very pleased with the results, they are however not permanent and generally last for approximately three to six months.  Watch our video on BOTOX

Imagine young-looking, wrinkle-free skin. For patients with well-defined wrinkles or creases, such as the fold between their nose and mouth, most cosmetic surgeons surveyed agree that injectable fillers may be the best treatment available to date. Our practice features both Evolence and Radiesse long lasting dermal fillers. 

What is Evolence?
A truly novel dermal filler, EVOLENCE® can immediately improve and refresh your appearance by smoothing out and softening unwanted wrinkles and folds, and restoring structure and facial contour in volume-depleted areas. The visible, natural-looking results are achieved immediately, with minimal-to-no downtime, so you can get right back to your daily activities. These immediate results last for at least 6 months, so you can avoid the costly repeat treatments often associated with other fillers.


What is Radiesse?
Radiesse, formerly known as Radiance, is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the last seven years, Radiesse has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials.

Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth.

By supplementing your skin's own depleted collagen with Radiesse, we can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. We can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows. Radiesse is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results.

What areas respond best to Radiesse treatments?

Naso-labial folds
Peri-oral lines
Lip enhancement
Depressed scars
Oral commissures

Patients are up and around immediately after receiving their Radiesse treatments. You can expect greatly improved wrinkles, enhanced lips or smoothed-out depressed scars. Any discomfort following the procedure can be controlled with medication. The treatment site may have a little swelling, which may last 24 to 36 hours depending on the area treated. There may be some slight bruising at the injection site, which can be covered with make-up.

How long will the results last?
Depending on the area treated, most of your correction may last for several months or years. Some touch-up treatments may be necessary.

What our patients like the most about Radiesse is that they don't have to come back every three months and they still look great! If you want to get rid of your wrinkles with a safe, natural solution, Radiesse may be for you.
