About Injectables

Juvéderm, Restylane and Hylaform
Juvéderm, Restylane and Hylaform are colorless gels containing hylauronic acid that are injected into facial wrinkles. Hylauronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body.
Juvéderm, Restylane and Hylaform injectable gels work by temporarily adding volume to facial tissue giving a more youthful look.
Results typically last from three to six months.
Collagen
Collagen is the natural protein which supports the underlying skin and muscles. As the aging process begins, or damages to the skin appear, the layer of collagen beneath the surface of the skin becomes worn. As a result, the appearance of lines, wrinkles, creases and furrows gradually emerges. However, today, there is a very successful solution – Injectable Collagen. Performed in our office-based facility, collagen injections are safe and effective.
By injecting the protein, Collagen, with a very fine needle to treatment areas, the results will be an almost immediate and dramatic improvement. As the skin expands, you will virtually see lines and wrinkles disappear. The treatment is a temporary solution, but can last for a duration of three months up to one year.
There may be minor discomfort such as throbbing, stinging or swelling, which is normal, and disappears quickly.
Although Collagen is 100% natural, you will be required to take a Collagen Test to determine any allergic reactions.
