Over time, fine lines and wrinkles develop as a result of aging and sun damage. These wrinkles are commonly known as crow’s feet, lines around the forehead, jowl lines, frown lines, laugh lines and nasolabial folds.

Wrinkles and fine lines can be addressed with a variety of treatments, including:

• Injectable botulinum toxins, such as Botox and Dysport
• Injectable fillers, such as Restylane and Restylane Lyft (formerly Perlane)
• Nonsurgical facelifts, such as Silhouette InstaLift
• Lasers, such as Fractora Forma, Fraxel Dual, Pearl, ICON, UltraPulse Active FX, Excel V and Vbeam

Years of exposure to the sun, coupled with changes to the skin’s pigment and texture over time, can result in sun damage, uneven skin tone, brown spots and spider veins. 

Your skin tone and texture can be improved and enhanced with: 

• Chemical peels
• Lasers, such as Excel V, Vbeam, YAG, pulsed dye laser and RF micro-needling (INFINIskin)
• IPL for spots and redness
• Sclerotherapy and lasers for spider veins

Also, botulinum toxin may treat some medical conditions, including migraine headaches and excess sweating.

The types of botulinum toxin injections we offer are:
