Botox & Fillers
Botox
Botox® Cosmetic is a quick and painless treatment used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This non-surgical treatment can be used in areas such as the brow, forehead, crow’s feet, lip lines, and more. Within a week, you will see a marked improvement, lines and wrinkles will continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last up to 4 months.
Botox can also be used to reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), most commonly used in the underarms and palm of hands. Botox can substantially reduce sweating for up to 6 months.
We measure Botox® in units. The amount needed depends on many factors, how thick your muscles are, how deep your lines are, how many prior Botox® treatments you’ve had, and what type of results you’re seeking. Typically, it takes around 30-40 units to treat the forehead, 20-25 units to treat the glabella, and 15-20 units to treat crows’ feet.

Fat Transfer/Grafting
One of the natural processes of aging is thinning of the dermal layer of the skin. This loss of fat is what leads to sagging, wrinkled skin. Fat transfer is a solution that can help fill in those areas of loss, to restore skin to a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
During treatment, fat is removed from one area of your body, such as the abdomen, and then injected into another area of your body, such as the face. Fat transfer is commonly used to fill the cheeks, chin, and bags under the eyes. It has also been used to enhance the buttocks and sometimes the breasts.
It even helps to increase blood circulation by transferring a small concentration of stem cells. When performed properly, a large percentage of the injected fat cells will survive and remain permanently.
