Botox

BOTOX® Cosmeticis a simple, nonsurgical,
physician-administered treatment that can
temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown
lines between the brows in people from 18 to
65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—
and within days there's a noticeable improvement in
moderate to severe frown lines between the brows,
which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by
the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces
the activity of the muscles that cause those frown
lines between the brows to form over time. It blocks
signals from the nerve to muscle therefore the injected
muscle can no longer contract, which causes the
wrinkles to relax and soften.

 

   

     

     

 

  • BOTOX® Cosmeticwas approved by the Food
    and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for the
    temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown
    lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65,
    and almost 3.3 million procedures were performed in
    2005 alone.
  •  

  • The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
    Surgery ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most
    popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure
    in the United States for the fourth year in a row
    (surgical and nonsurgical combined).

    Restylane

    Restylane is an injectable gel which should always
    administered by a trained, medically qualified
    practitioner.

    Restylane enhances your natural looks by restoring
    your  skin’s volume, creating softness and revitalizing
    your  appearance.

     

    How it works

    Youthful skin is rich in hyaluronic acid. As we age, 
    the distribution and function of hyaluronic acid in
    our skin gradually change, leading to the characteristic
    signs of aging.

    Restylane gels work by enhancing your skin’s own
    stocks  of hyaluronic acid, directly adding volume
    to either soften the signs of aging or enhance your
    features.

    The procedure is quick. It usually takes less than 30
    minutes. The benefits can be seen immediately.

     

    Restylane is safe

    Restylane safety and efficacy is proven beyond a doubt,
    with robust clinical data spanning a decade. Adverse
    reactions to Restylane are rare.

    Restylane is natural

    The uniquely produced hyaluronic acid gel of Restylane
    closely resembles natural hyaluronic acid. This reduces
    the risk of an inflammatory reaction or other side effects.

    Restylane is long lasting but not permanent

    Restylane gives you flexibility and control over your looks.
    Because your face changes shape as you age, you want to
    avoid a permanent look you  might regret in years to come.

    Restylane is nonanimal

    In contrast to some other hyaluronic acid-based products,
    the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is not extracted from animals.
    This means there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting
    allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as
    chicken and eggs.

    Restylane is quick and easy

    Restylane treatment usually fits in well with busy lifestyles,
    with minimal downtime, and gives results that can be seen
    instantly.

    Restores fullness to lips

    Restylane Lipp™ is specially designed to create the beautiful
    looking lips you desire. Whether you’d like to have softer, 
    fuller lips – or just add a touch of volume in the lip border
    to give a more sculpted look – Restylane Lipp is the perfect
    treatment for you.
      

      

    Radiesse

    Radiesse® is a safe, next generation dermal filler that does more
    than just fill in lines  and wrinkles – it volumizes. In fact, Radiesse
    is setting a new standard in facial fold and wrinkle correction.
    This treatment restores a natural, youthful look that lasts. In many
    patients, the results may last for a year or more. Numerous medical
    studies have shown that Radiesse is a safe and effective treatment
    for  filling and correcting smile lines, nasolabial folds,  and wrinkles
    around  the nose and mouth. Radiesse stimulates the body to produce
    new collagen. This unique response provides immediate, visible
    improvement of folds and wrinkles, and provides long-lasting and
    beautiful results.

    Why choose Radiesse?

    Radiesse dermal filler:

    • Is an FDA-APPROVED wrinkle treatment used to correct
      moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the
      nose and mouth, such as nasolabial folds.
    • Stimulates the body to produce NEW COLLAGEN.
    • Radiesse dermal filler is LONG LASTING.
    • Provides IMMEDIATE correction through a convenient
      treatment that can be performed during your lunch hour!
    • May require LESS FREQUENT office visits for retreatments,
      saving you time and money.
    • Is BIOCOMPATIBLE, and no allergy testing is necessary
      prior to treatment

    Immediate Satisfaction, Long-lasting Results

    The wrinkle treatment results provided by Radiesse dermal filler
    are immediate and long lasting. The effects of Radiesse may last a
    year or more in many patients. In addition, Radiesse treatments may
    require fewer office visits for retreatments. Since results may vary,
    be sure to discuss your expectations with Dr. Cleaver.

    Safe and Effective Wrinkle Treatment

    Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres
    that are  suspended in a water-based gel and injected into the
    skin through a  simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.

    Hundreds of thousands of patients have experienced Radiesse,
    and thousands of physicians worldwide have been trained to provide
    Radiesse treatments.  Through years of rigorous clinical studies and
    independent research, Radiesse has proven to be safe and effective.
    With Radiesse, you get safe, FDA-approved, clinically tested results.

    How does Radiesse work?

    Radiesse is gently injected into the skin in small amounts with a
    very fine needle. Radiesse stimulates the body to produce new
    collagen. This unique response provides immediate, visible improvement
    of folds and wrinkles, and provides long-lasting and beautiful results.

    Is Radiesse safe?

    In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians in hundreds
    of thousands of patients worldwide, Radiesse has been shown to be
    safe and effective. In the FDA clinical studies there were virtually
    no allergic reactions. There may be 
    some normal injection related
    occurrences, such as bruising, discomfort, swelling, or redness that
    typically resolve on their own.

    Am I a Radiesse candidate?

    You may be a Radiesse dermal filler candidate if you are beginning
    to notice facial wrinkles, lines, and folds. Radiesse provides
    immediate  and long-lasting wrinkle correction.
     

    Why "correct" wrinkles with Radiesse?

    Over time, tissue volume diminishes, leaving folds and wrinkles in
    several common patterns, including the deepening of nasolabial
    folds, accentuated smile lines  (sometimes called "marionette lines").
    Radiesse can be injected into the skin in order to compensate for
    the loss of volume or to correct these areas. By stimulating the body
    to produce new collagen, Radiesse provides a natural look that lasts for
    a fresh, rested, healthy appearance that still looks like you.

    How is a Radiesse treatment performed?

    Radiesse is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, quick, and
    minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Typically administered in
    a physician's office with the use of a local anesthetic, Radiessse
    treatment  requires little to no downtime, with most patients returning
    to normal activities almost immediately
    after treatment.

    How soon can I expect results?
    How long will the results last?

    The results are immediate. Radiesse continues to deliver results as
    it stimulates your body to produce new collagen. Results may last
    a year or more in many patients, which may result in fewer office
    visits for retreatments. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss
    your expectations with Dr. Cleaver.

    How many treatments will I need?

    Many patients will achieve their desired result after just one or
    two treatments. To ensure your satisfaction with the treatment,
    your physician might schedule a follow-up visit, where a touch up
    treatment might be recommended.

    Are there any side effects?

    Normal, injection-related reactions such as mild irritation, edema,
    swelling, itching, discoloration, or tenderness at the injection site
    may occur. These conditions typically resolve themselves within
    one to two days.

    Could I have an allergic reaction to Radiesse?

    Radiesse is biocompatible. You do not need to undergo skin allergy
    testing, which is common with certain animal-based or permanent
    filler agents, prior to treatment.  However, if you believe you are
    having an allergic reaction to Radiesse, seek medical attention
    immediately.

    Is Radiesse permanent?

    No. Treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. Over
    time the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down
    into calcium and phosphate ions which are safely and naturally
    absorbed into your body, leaving your own newly produced
    collagen in their place.
