BOTOX®

BOTOX® Cosmetic treats the toughest wrinkles common between the eyebrows, forehead and around the eyes, that are caused by squinting, thinking, or frowning.

BOTOX® is a simple, non-surgical procedure that involves a few tiny injections that cause the muscles that contract, to relax for four to six months. This FDA approved procedure can cause dramatic results, especially when it is combined with long-lasting wrinkle line fillers. The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes and is ideal for busy men and women. Most patients can return to work immediately. Some patients may experience bruising at the injection site or have minor redness that will disappear within a few hours. The redness can be minimized with makeup. Approximately ten days after the injection, you will notice the difference.

This procedure requires a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Hill or highly trained registered nurse, who will administer the treatment.

Dermal Fillers

Juvéderm

Juvéderm injectable gel is a smooth gel filler that instantly eases out wrinkles or folds. It is made of a hyaluronic acid, which is a natural complex sugar found in all living cells, and one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue matrix along with collagen and elastin.

Juvéderm injectable gel is produced through Hylacross™ technology creating a higher degree of cross-linking and promoting duration up to six months or longer.

Common side effects with Juvéderm injectable gel usually are mild. This procedure requires a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Hill or professionally trained nurse, who will administer the treatment.

Restylane®

Restylane® is an instant long-lasting wrinkle correction. It is a safe, long-lasting dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles such as smile lines. It is made of a non-animal- based hyaluronic acid which is a natural substance found in the human body. This eliminates the need for skin-testing and allergic reactions. A topical or local anesthetic may be required for patient comfort.

The substance is a clear gel that may cause temporary redness and swelling in the injection site. These side effects typically resolve 3 days after the procedure.

Radiesse™

The next generation in longer lasting wrinkle correction. Radiesse™ is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look and lasts longer than other leading fillers. It corrects smile lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose.

Radiesse™ contains tiny calcium-based microspheres that form a scaffold to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen.

The results are immediate, and typically last one year to eighteen months. Radiesse™ is best used in deeper facial lines, and medium to thick skinned individuals. It is not indicated to inject in the lips. This procedure requires a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Hill or his Physician’s Assistant, who will administer the treatment.

Liquid Lift

A combination of therapies of BOTOX® and dermal fillers that will improve deep facial expression lines and restore the balance of a youthful face by providing volume and facial contouring.  Results are immediate and last between twelve to eighteen months.  This procedure is ideal when skin laxity is minimal to mild and can be combined with the Lifestyle Lift.

A consultation must be scheduled in advance to determine the dermal filler that will be used and to allow adequate time for the procedure.
