Botulinum Toxin
A cornerstone of cosmetic injectable treatments, botulinum toxin (Dysport®, Botox®, Xeomin® , etc.) reduces dynamic wrinkling of the face and neck, can be utilized to enhance facial feature balancing, and reduces muscle activity that contributes to an overall aged appearance. Our clinicians undergo advanced training that includes safe, effective, and contemporary botulinum injection techniques. We are excited to offer Dysport® as our botulinum toxin of choice. See our Botulinum Toxin FAQ for answers common questions!

A contemporary approach to increasing lip “show”, the Lip Flip is a series of micro-tox injections along the outer lip borders of the lips. This releases the muscles that curl the lip inward during a smile or at rest. Your provider will work alongside you to recommend the best Lip Flip method for your individual aesthetic goals.

A patient favorite, the Nefertiti Neck Lift is a modern approach to non-surgical jaw line sharpening using botulinum toxin. A series of injections will be administered to minimize intensity of the strong downward pulling muscles of the lower face. This allows the natural upward pulling facial muscles to lift the skin of the lower face resulting in a more defined or youthful jawline.
-
The brow significantly contributes to the overall facial aesthetic. Utilizing botulinum toxin, we can selectively relax facial muscles to augment the “pull” at various points of the eyebrow. Consideration of eyebrow symmetry, masculine/feminine brow aesthetic desired, and individual facial anatomy all interplay to create a result that can be more attractive, and more you.
-
Our philosophy is guided by consideration of the total facial aesthetic. All features of the face have significant interplay both at rest and in expression, every face has different anatomy, and every patient goal is unique. Advanced botulinum toxin injection administered by our physicians are centered around the consideration of the whole picture to create an aesthetic you love.

Botulinum toxin is a great adjunct therapy when treating headaches. Temporal headaches can be caused by jaw clenching or grinding and treatment with botulinum toxin can provide relief to tight upper facial muscles. We acknowledge both the desire to relieve headache symptoms while also consideration of aesthetic effects, offering an effective and cosmetically sensitive treatment option.
-
TMJ pain can really throw the start of your day off. Botulinum toxin decreases the contraction intensity of master muscles (large jaw muscle) and the temporalis muscles (temple muscle used while biting down). In treating these two areas, patients can experience significant symptom relief related to overactive muscles involved in TMJ dysfunction.
All About Dermal Fillers
The aging face is evidenced by natural volume loss that can worsen skin wrinkling, create undesired “falling” of the face, and compromise other youthful facial structures. Using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, we can instantly improve facial volume loss and enhance your facial structures to restore a more youthful and improved appearance. We are currently offering Restylane© products, renowned for their natural appearance in both the resting and expressing face. See our Dermal Filler FAQ for answers common questions or concerns.

Dermal filler injection techniques transform a face, reverse signs of aging, and create stunning symmetry and balance to the facial aesthetic. As we age natural volume loss occurs in the cheek region causing the face to fall. This can worsen eye bags, jowling of the lower face, nasolabial fold deepening (line between nose and corner of mouth) and an overall tired appearance.
Our injection techniques use an individual approach to attain maximal lift of the face, improvement in facial symmetry, restoration of lost volume, and create a refreshed and natural look.
We also use dermal filler to enhance the cheek in patients who naturally lack volume or structure in the mid-face. Your physician injector will work alongside you to create a custom treatment plan that both aligns with your goals while avoiding an unnatural look.

The Lips are critical to a balanced and attractive face. One of the most commonly sought after procedures, our precision lip enhancements are carefully planned to provide natural but effective results.
We believe in partnering with our patients to plan a treatment that best fits their desires. Our technique utilizes:
• desired lip shape
• application of the “golden ratio” and additional evidence based facial balancing measurements
• Strong consideration of the complex interplay of surrounding facial anatomy
-
A defining feature of the lower-third, the chin is a strong visual landmark of the face. The chin contributes significantly to facial femininity/masculinity, influences facial shape (heart, square, etc.), and supports the lower lip.
Often overlooked, chin enhancements can create a strong visual balance to the face that is essential to looking your best. This procedure is quick, effective, and impactful to the aesthetics of your face.
-
Temporal hollowing holds strong influence on an aged appearance, contributes to looking gaunt, and can be an undesired effect of GLP-1 use or those experiencing significant weight loss. Often patients work very hard to lose unwanted body fat and can be disappointed when key facial structures like the temples lose volume as well, creating an undesired appearance.
This procedure is minimally invasive, instantly results in improved temporal hollowing, and very much contributes to that well-rested but not over-done look.
-
Ideally specific deep static lines are treated after addressing key areas of facial volume loss, specific feature enhancements, and thorough consultation regarding the total facial aesthetic. Dermal filler use for static line treatments represent some of the most tried-and-true techniques for facial rejuvenation. In some circumstances a particularly strong static line can be treated in isolation. Your physician will work alongside you to address specific areas of concern you have.
-
In some instances, patients desire to have their hyaluronic acid filler dissolved. We offer HA dermal filler dissolving services for patients who may have had an injectable experience they want to be corrected or undone. A medication called Hyaluronidase is injected in the area to dissolve the previously placed product. After the hyaluronidase injection, we can then discuss any additional enhancements you may desire.
Sculptra®
A leading biostimulatory injectable filler, Sculptra® can transform a face and reverse signs of the aging process. FDA approved for fine lines and wrinkles, injection of Sculptra® increases skin vibrancy, reduces crepey appearance of skin, and supports deeper wrinkles using the patient’s own collagen production. Results can last 2+ years and are commonly referred to as “The Sculptra® glow”. The results are stunning when used in appropriate candidates.
Sculptra® is injected in the affected areas of the face, with repeat injections ever 4-6 weeks for 3+ treatments. Results from Sculptra® are seen within weeks after completion of treatment, allowing time for the collagen growth to occur. Your Physician will help determine the dose as well as the total number of treatments required to get the best result possible.
