after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and,
possibly, evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional specialist

● Sculptra

We accept the Allē Loyalty Program for Botox, Juvéderm, and Skinvive by Juvéderm.

● Top Model Look
● Non-surgical lifts
Classics
Reduce fine line and improve the appearance of the lips.
Facial Contouring
One of the first signs of aging is volume-loss in the mid face, leading to more prominent tear troughs and laugh lines. In addition, the skin composition changes with age: less collagen and hyaluronic acid result in saggy, thin skin.
Instead of focusing solely on injecting fine
lines and wrinkles directly, we use dermal fillers to reconstruct and enhance
the entire facial structure and restore the skin composition, thereby
effectively reversing the effects of aging. Specifically, using the master
injector technique, we target common areas of volume-loss such as the mid-face,
cheek bones, and temples to gradually lift and contour the entire face.
Once the external framework of the face
is lifted and restored, this reduces the appearance of prominent laugh lines,
under eye troughs, and smooths fine lines, resulting in a more contoured,
youthful, yet natural look.
Lip Lift
Your lips are no exception to loss of fulness and and droopiness due to aging! A non-surgical and non-invasive lips lift with dermal fillers will give your lips a pouty, more attractive look by reverse the downward frown appearance and everting the lip.
Top Model Look
Have you ever wondered how you would look with a slimmer face and higher cheekbones? Then you may be interested in the Top Model Look. The Top Model Look is a technique that is minimally invasive and utilizes fillers to provide a more youthful appearance. Fillers are injected in a precise manner to lift the upper outer cheeks and slim the face. This technique is beneficial in contouring the face without makeup and leads to a more youthful and fresh appearance. With the Top Model Look you are no longer stuck chasing “fine lines” as many fine lines fill out as the face is lifted from above. Results are often noticed immediately and can last up to two years.
Non-Surgical Lifts
Dermal fillers have been used for more than a decade to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and volume loss. Through personal and expert observations, it’s noted that these fillers can induce new and permanent healthy collagen formation. Many of our patients have already noted effects lasting beyond the expected results of the dermal filler.
The use of filling agents to tighten and improve the appearance of the skin is a breakthrough in the field of cosmetics. This defines the non-surgical lift. New collagen and elastic bundles result in an improvement in tightness, firmness, and smoothness.
With this cutting edge injection procedure areas that can be improved
include the face for a non-surgical face lift, aging hands, wrinkled
decolletage, irregular sagging buttocks, cellulite, stretch marks, flaccid
upper arms, and abdomen for recontouring.
Results can be seen within weeks and continue for months after
treatment. More than one session may be indicated.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are fillers?
These are different formulations in injections that are FDA approved to lift wrinkles, volumize cheeks, re- contour the face, or plump the lips.
What do they look like?
They range from transparent gels to milky foamy solutions, depending on the type of the fillers. Different fillers have different characteristics and can achieve different goals. They are all amazing if used properly. Hyaluronic acid-based products tend to be common. Please take time look at the syringe before it’s injected, it’s fun and satisfying.
What is Hyaluronic Acid, aka HA?
HA is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume. The fillers in this special are composed of a very unique formulation of this material, providing a natural look, with less swelling and to top it off they have amazing lifespan and longevity.
I like products based on HA’s because they are reversible if needed.
What is the treatment experience like?
I understand the apprehension of new comers, that’s why proper education at the first consult is critical. Most patients’ fears minimize after the consult and disappear after the very first injection. The cutting-edge techniques allow Board certified Dermatologists to inject the product more safely with the least amount for discomfort.
Will I look like myself?
That should be the goal of the treatment, a better more youthful version of yourself not a different or distorted version. I strongly believe that a patient should be allowed to look at the results multiple times between the injections. Conservative approaches are the safest approaches. Add-ons are easy, reversals are more challenging.
When will i see results?
Results are immediate but occasionally can be blurred by swelling. I prefer fillers in these that retain less selling so usually what you see is what you get.
What is the average treatment cost?
Look for someone who is licensed and trained and has experience treating patients with the fillers and Be wary of discount products or “cheap” treatments —if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Sterility is critical, intact syringes is a sacred rule.
How long do results last?
This can vary depending on the patient’s history, metabolism and the product itself. For new comers I recommend starting with dermal fillers that last around 6 months and then graduating to fillers that last longer so they can get a feel for the treatments
What is the reason I should have filler?
Yes, not all patients are candidates, all fillers have potential side effects and some can be serious. These are very important to disclose prior to the injection. Millions of patients have received dermal fillers over the course of years, Fortunately the concerning side effects remain unusual but a statistic is a statistic it can happen. I am very religious with making sure that patients understand these very well.
