When you look good you feel good and are more self confident. Facial imperfections that make you unhappy can have far-reaching effects emotionally, socially and professionally. The following are some of the more common procedures we perform to enhance facial aesthetics.

Rhinoplasty

Reshaping the contour of the nose to improve the profile by removing a hump or straightening the bridge of a crooked nose. This procedure can be combined with sinus surgery to improve breathing.

Blepharoplasty

Removing excess skin and fatty deposits of upper and lower eyelids which minimizes sagging and removes bags and pouches.

Face Lift

Removal of excess skin and fat from the face to diminish wrinkling and sagging in the face and neck.

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the product name for Allergans cosmetic wrikle removing drug. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that works at motor nerve endings (nerves that lead to muscles). BOTOX® Cosmetic is a drug used for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines). These frown lines come from muscles called corrugator and/or procerus muscles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the name used for the process of injecting the BOTOX® Cosmetic product into the patient.

In April of 2002 BOTOX® Cosmetic was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), following previous approvale for severe medical problems as afr back as 1989. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the trade mark that Allergan decided to use to refer to their botulinum toxin A product. BOTOX® injections are related to botulism.

BOTOX® treatments are successfully used to treat blepharospasm and strabismus, and BOTOX® cosmetic are also proven useful in treating cervical dystonia -- these are all conditions that in some way involve spasms, involuntary muscle contractions. Within a few hours to a couple of days after the botulinum toxin is injected into the affected muscle(s), the spasms or contractions are reduced or eliminated altogether. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are not permanent, reportedly lasting anywhere from three to eight months. By injecting the toxin directly into a certain muscle or muscle group, the risk of BOTOX® Cosmetic spreading to other areas of the body is greatly diminished.

When BOTOX® Cosmetic -- botulinum toxin A -- is injected into the muscles surrounding the eyes, for instance, those muscles can not "scrunch up" for a period of time. They are paralyzed. So the wrinkles in that area, often referred to as "crow's-feet," temporarily go away.

What is Restylane®?

Restylane is an injectable gel which should always administered by a trained, medically qualified practitioner.

Restylane enhances your natural looks by restoring your skin’s volume, creating softness and revitalizing your appearance.

How it works?
Youthful skin is rich in hyaluronic acid. As we age, the distribution and function of hyaluronic acid in our skin gradually change, leading to the characteristic signs of aging.

Restylane gels work by enhancing your skin’s own stocks of hyaluronic acid, directly adding volume to either soften the signs of aging or enhance your features.

The procedure is quick. It usually takes less than 30 minutes. The benefits can be seen immediately.

How is Restylane® Produced?

Restylane is produced by Q-Med AB in Sweden under strict laboratory conditions to obtain a high degree of product purity.

Q-Med is a rapidly growing biotechnology/medical device company. Q-Med develops, produces, markets and sells implants for esthetic and medical use. All products are based on the company’s patented NASHA™ technology.

Patented technology
If you injected hyaluronic acid in its natural form into the body, it would break down in just a few days, and any treatment benefit would be very short-lived. The unique stabilization process patented by Q-Med and used in the manufacture of Restylane results in a hyaluronic acid gel that closely resembles the body’s own hyaluronic acid. This provides long-lasting treatment benefits and minimizes the risk of a skin reaction.
