Our clinic offers Botox and Dysport: both are injectable neurotoxins used to prevent a muscle from moving in order to reduce wrinkles and create a more youthful look. Results take up to 2 weeks to be seen and last 3-5 months.
Individuals who clench their jaw or grind their teeth when they sleep can experience a painful tight jaw. Botox can relax the muscles and effectively treat this condition. Jaw injections also reduce the size of the jaw muscle creating a slimmer looking face and jawline.
Botox can be used to create a “Lip Flip” which lifts the upper border of the lip in order to add more of a pout to the lips. Botox can also be used to relax the muscles above the lips in order to fix a “Gummy Smile” where the lips rise too much and show too much of your gums.
A typical problem around the forehead is the glabella lines, also known as the “frown lines” which are vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows, generating a tired or angry look. Botox injections can help smooth these horizontal lines and vertical wrinkles.
A typical problem around the eyes is crow’s feet which are the fine lines at the corners of our eyes. Oftentimes their presence is seen when someone is smiling but with age they are present at all times. Botox is a very effective treatment for this problem.
With age, muscles in our chin become overactive and flex more than they should. This creates a dimpled appearance. Botox can help relax these muscles and smooth the appearance of the dimple.
A common concern we see around the nose is bunny lines. Bunny lines are creases that appear when the nose wrinkles up, like when we sniff something. Botox can help reduce the appearance of these lines.
Our clinic offers hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is found throughout our bodies and attracts water. This allows for the skin to be more hydrated and voluminous. With age we begin to lose volume and develop wrinkles and fine lines. Injectable fillers help restore volume and reduce these fine lines and wrinkles. Results are seen almost immediately and tend to last up to 18 months.
Chin Fillers enhance the shape and projection of your chin which accentuates and creates a sharper looking jawline. This also elongates the face and makes it appear slimmer.
Cheek fillers enhance the contour of your cheekbones, creating a more defined bone structure.
If you are looking to improve the volume and shape of your lips, lip fillers are a great option.
Lip Fillers can also:
● Restore a previous lip size due to aging lips
● Improve hydration in the lips
● Correct any asymmetry of your lips
Botox
If you have any of the following conditions, we strongly advise you to consult with Dr.Joe before booking an appointment.
We advise every one of our clients to set up a consultation prior to getting botox or fillers.
The cost of botox will depend on your area of concern as well as the intensity of your wrinkles. Please contact us to schedule a consultation and get a quote!
Despite the popular belief that botox is mostly administered to older men/women, there has been a rise of preventative botox. This is done to PREVENT the formation of lines and wrinkles, rather than in a corrective way once lines and wrinkles are already established, when treatment is often less successful.
If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us and set up a consultation.
On average, a botox procedure takes 15-30 minutes.
Typically, you will see results in 3 to 7 days. Results usually last 3 to 5 months but this can differ depending on the individual.
Fillers
Dermal fillers may not be suitable for individuals with bleeding disorders or allergies. You cannot get dermal fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
For lip fillers, if you have a history of cold sores or herpes you must contact us at least a week before your procedure in order to be prescribed preventative medication.
We advise every one of our clients to set up a consultation prior to getting botox or fillers.
Fillers produce immediate results but can take 2-4 weeks to fully settle. Results typically last 12-18 months.
After receiving your fillers, you may experience bruising, swelling and mild pain however these effects tend to clear within a few days.
