Botox Cosmetic
Repeated muscular contractions such as frowning and squinting form lines known as dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic™ works by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles giving the face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. The procedure is so simple and quick that patients can often have it done on their lunch hour. For this reason, Botox Cosmetic has become one of the most frequently utilized cosmetic procedures.
Non-surgical browlift (using Botox Cosmetic)
In the brow region, there are muscles that "pull down" the brows, and muscles that "lift up" the brows. With this in mind, we can treat the specific muscle groups that "pull down" the brows with Botox Cosmetic, leaving the muscles that "lift up" the brows unopposed. This means that the balance between the two opposing muscle groups is altered, causing a lifting effect.

Juvederm is a hyaluronicacid in the form of a transparent homogeneous viscoelasticgel. Hyaluronicacid is a substance which is naturally present in the dermis and maintains the hydration of tissues, becoming absorbed slowly over time. Injection of Juvederm is a replacement source of this hyaluronicacid, which disappears gradually with age.
Juvederm fills nasal furrows and oral commissuresor smoothes moderate or superficial wrinkles. Acting very naturally but not irreversibly, your lips regain their sensuality and you face its smooth curves.
The effects of Juvederm usually last 9 months. The effect varies depending on the types of skin, amount injected and the injection technique. In some cases, the effect may last for up to one year. The average life of Juvederm in the lips is 6 months because of the high vascularization of the lips.

Soft tissue fillers, such as Juvederm or Teosyal, can be used to minimize fine lines around the lip area as well as increase the size, shape or fullness of the lip. These treatments typically last 9-12 months.
A soft-lift makeover combines the use of Juvederm dermal filler and Botox Cosmetic, to instantly refresh your look in a single treatment. Juvederm can smooth wrinkles and bring back lost fullness in areas like the cheek bones, nasolabial folds (lines that run from nose to the corner of the lip), and jawline. Botox Cosmetic is then used to soften and relax lines, such as crow's feet, forehead lines and frown lines between the brows.
