Aes­thet­ics

The dermis gradually loses its major constituents: col­la­gen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Col­la­gen acts as the major support protein for our skin, elastin allows our skin to stay firm and resist wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid helps to trap water and add volume and shape to our skin.

Signs of aging gen­er­ally include:

• Loss of Pigmentation
• Wrinkles
• Redis­tri­b­u­tion of Fat
• Loss of Bone Mass

Dermal Fillers are becoming increasingly pop­u­lar as a means to help reverse the changes asso­ci­ated with aging. Because the goal is to return the der­mis to its orig­i­nal youthful state, dermal fillers can give a more natural appearance than sur­gi­cal face lifts. Dermal fillers are being used to reduce or elim­i­nate wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss.

BOTOX^® injections smooth the signs of aging by relaxing under­ly­ing facial muscles. It can take years off of the face’s appearance by elim­i­nat­ing frown lines, crow’s feet, and other minor facial wrinkles by tem­porar­ily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
