Botox®/Xeomin® is a natural and purified protein that relaxes the muscles by blocking nerve impulses connected to the tiny facial muscles related to expression. These muscles are responsible for expression wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Over time, these wrinkles become more prominent due to gravity and general aging. With a few tiny injections, Botox®/Xeomin® blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that causes muscles to contract. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother, creating a more natural and relaxed appearance. Botox®/Xeomin® are both FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines in facial wrinkles, facial creases, and in between the eyebrows.
Juvederm filler is a safe cosmetic treatment that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Juvederm have been used in more than 3 million treatments and in over 70 countries. They are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. Its job is to provide fullness and elasticity. Over time, the skin loses hyaluronic acid due to general aging. And as it diminishes, the skin loses volume which increases the chance for wrinkles and folds to appear.

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a self-produced biomaterial found in the body that helps accelerate the healing process of hard and soft tissue, bones, skin, is utilized in various medical procedures, and is considered to be a shortcut to significantly faster healing. In cosmetics, PRF can be used to improve skin rejuvenation, soften lines, and promote collagen growth. The concept is to withdraw a small amount of blood from the patient into vials and place them into a centrifuge. We take the blood vials for a first hard-spin in the centrifuge for up to 10 minutes to separate the blood components into different layers. Red blood cells will separate to the bottom layer while concentrated white blood cells and blood vessel growth factors will concentrate to the top layer. After the first spin, we extract the top layer—which contains less platelets but more clotting factors. This condensed layer gradually forms into a fibrin network and traps in the cytokines. We then take the extracted layer for a second soft-spin resulting in a fibrin layer containing platelets and plasma. Because there are no anticoagulative additives, PRF needs to be administered as soon as possible to reduce the amount of clotting. While this PRF is being prepared, your skin will be cleansed for the treatment.
