Cosmetic Injectables

Botox 

Botox contains purified bacteria that freeze muscles. In doing so, Botox  can help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial  expressions.

​

Mechanism of Action

​

  • Botox works by blocking nerve signals  in the muscles where it is injected.

  • When those nerve signals are  interrupted, the affected muscle is  temporarily paralyzed or frozen.

  • Without movement of these selected  muscles in the face, certain wrinkles  may be softened, reduced, or even  removed.

​

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers contain ingredients that add fullness to areas that have  thinned due to aging. This thinning is common in the cheeks, lips, and  around the mouth.

Mechanism of Action

​

  • Juvederm products are a smooth consistency Hyaluronic acid gel. 

  • Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body. Hyaluronic acid works by holding in water at the injection site.

  • Juvaderm acts as a cushioning agent resulting in addition of temporary volume and a smoother appearance to skin.

Kybella

Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is a synthetic form of a substance your body makes that helps to absorb fats.

Mechanism of Action

​

  • Deoxycholic acid works by destroying fat cells where it is injected into the body.

  • ​Kybella injection is used to help decrease the appearance of fat that hangs below the chin, sometimes called a double-chin.
