Botox is a highly effective and safe purified substance used to treat those tough wrinkles caused by muscle contraction. This in-office procedure performed by Dr. Eliopoulos is quick and easily tolerated, with no down time. Common injection sites include the horizontal forehead furrows, the vertical scowl lines between the brows, and the “crow’s feet” radiating from the outer corners of the eyes. Botox temporarily relaxes these muscles to soften these dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a more rested, rejuvenated, less angry look, while appearing very natural. Results are evident by about three-seven days and can last anywhere from three to six months. |

Healthy skin has an abundance of two important substances, collagen and hyaluronic acid, that keep your skin looking smooth and supple. Collagen is a protein that provides your skin with structural support. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in all living cells that attracts and binds water, hydrating the skin and giving it volume. With time, sunlight, and other factors, both collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin diminish, the skin loses structure and volume, and unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear.
Now you can replace your skin’s lost hyaluronic acid using Juvéderm™. This FDA approved dermal (skin) filler is a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid that mimics the effects of natural hyaluronic acid. When injected just below the surface of the skin, this product adds volume to the skin to smooth away unwanted lines and wrinkles. Juvéderm™ provides the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler for long-lasting results. Juvéderm’s™ advanced manufacturing process also works to create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin during the injection process and provides a smooth, natural look and feel-so everyone will notice, but no one will know!
Juvéderm™ can be used to fill in the smile lines that run between the nose to the corner of the mouth (nasolabial folds), small lines above the lip, frown lines between the eyes, and the creases that turn down the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), and to add volume to the lips. This safe and effective treatment performed by Dr. Eliopoulos is well tolerated without significant down time, and requires no pre-treatment skin test. Results with Juvéderm™ are immediate and may last up to six months or longer depending on the area treated and the amount of product injected.

Over the last 20 years in the U.S., millions of procedures have been performed using Collagen Replacement Therapy® to smooth facial lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, the most abundant natural protein found in the body, provides structural support to your skin and helps keep it looking smooth and supple. Wrinkles form when this natural collagen layer thins due to aging, environmental exposures like sunlight, heredity, lifestyle, and other factors.
CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast, made from highly purified human collagen, can be injected into the collagen layer just below the skin surface to fill in unwanted lines and wrinkles. CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast can be used to fill in smile lines, vertical lip lines, marionette lines around the mouth, lip border, acne scars, frown lines, and crow’s feet. As the first FDA-approved injectable wrinkle correction treatment to not require a pre-treatment skin test, CosmoDerm® and CosmoPlast® allow you to receive treatment immediately. Formulated with an anesthetic for comfort, this safe and effective treatment performed by Dr. Eliopoulos is well tolerated without significant down time. Treatment results are immediate and may last from several months depending on the area treated and the amount of collagen used. |

Radiesse is unlike any other treatment. This longer lasting injectable filler can smooth and enhance key areas of the face. It is a completely synthetic compound comprised of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, combined with an aqueous gel. Calcium is a natural substance already in the body, so Radiesse causes no allergic reactions or inflammation. This product is FDA-approved for other applications, such as soft tissue augmentation (injected into the vocal cord) and for maxillofacial reconstruction. While not yet approved for aesthetic indications, long term studies are currently ongoing, and FDA approval is expected. Aesthetic “off-label” use of this product includes treatment of lines and wrinkles of the face such as those between the nose and mouth. Radiesse is a safe and enduring way to restore vitality to the face, with soft tissue correction averaging approximately one year. Consultation with Dr. Eliopoulos can determine if Radiesse is right for you. |
