Dermal Fillers
Restylane and Juvederm - These soft tissue fillers are natural Hyaluronic acid which we all have in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid is what draws collagen, moisture and plumpness to our faces when we are younger but with aging, sun exposure and genetics it breaks down causing volume loss.

A:Yes, but with some fillers you can also see continuous improved results over time.
Q:Where can they be used?
A:After numbing these products are injected in order to correct the parenthesis around the side of the nose and mouth, help vertical lip lines, and build up cheek volume and lessen the hollowing under the eyes.
Q:What other fillers are there?
A:Radiesse - is calcium hydroxlyappetite, based from the natural collagen in bone. The product actually stimulates your own collagen and can last anywhere from 1 year to 18 months, Some results are seen immediately but best results are seen at two weeks and then 4 weeks as your collagen begins to grow.
Evolence - is a porcine collagen that just came out about 6 months ago it can last up to a year but is not recommended for everyone.
Q:What type of recovery time can I expect?
A:It depends on the filler used and you. We have a list of do's and don'ts we can provide at your consultation but most people are able to go about normal activities after injection.
Q:What is the cost?
A:This depends on the type of filler recommended and the amount used. A precise figure can be determined after a consultation, at which time more patient specific information can be considered.

A:Sclerotherapy for leg veins - Results are seen within 4-6 weeks and most people usually get treated 1-2 times per year.
