Non-surgical treatments can help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on faces not quite ready for cosmetic surgery.  Among these treatments are BOTOX® Cosmetic, Collagen, Hyaluronic acid, and Sculptra® injections.

BOTOX® Cosmetic works by preventing the usual action of muscles, thereby minimizing lines and furrows caused by the movement of those muscles.  BOTOX® Cosmetic is recommended for use in the forehead or to treat “crow’s feet” around the eyes.  Effects of these injections usually last two to three months, though repeated use may result in longer effectiveness.  To visit the BOTOX® Cosmetic website, click here.

Collagen injections work to correct lines and wrinkles caused by the diminishing of your own natural collagen layer that supports your skin.  Collagen injections can be used to fill in wrinkles around the nose and mouth or to improve the appearance of the lips by filling in the vermillion border.  Effects of these injections usually last three to six months.

Hyaluronic acid injections, such as Juvederm® can be used to correct lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth by filling

in the tissue underneath the lines or wrinkles.  Effects of these injections can last up to one year. To visit the Juvederm® website, click here.

Sculptra® Aesthetic injections increase facial volume and may last up to two years.
