Botox Botulinum Toxin A is a purified biological protein that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Botulinum toxin is a nerve impulse "blocker." It binds to the nerve endings and prevents the release of chemical transmitters that activate muscle activity/movement.

Botox blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botox relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected. No sedation or local anesthetic is required and you can even drive yourself home or back to the office. Some patients experience a slight temporary bruising at the injecton site. This can be covered with make-up.

Collagen Replacement

Stress of daily life and the normal aging process decrease the skin's collagen - a natural protein that gives skin its smoothness and suppleness.

Collagen Replacement Therapy is a treatment in which Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants are placed just beneath the skin where the body commonly accepts them as its own.
Collagen treatment can effectively improve or eliminate wrinkles around the corner of the mouth, nasolabial lines, depressed facial scars and frown lines. A specific treatment program will be tailored to your individual needs.

Collagen Treatments

Facial Lines & Wrinkles are caused by the wearing down of the natural collagen support layer that lies just beneath your skin. External factors, such as exposure to sun and pollution, and internal conditions such as the body's natural aging process, also contribute to the wearing down of the collagen layer.

Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants are a fast, safe, nonsurgical way to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. The procedure is performed in the doctor's office - this menas there's no hospital stay required. Specifically, you can smooth facial lines, wrinkles and scars, and also enhance the lip border in just one treatment session, and see immediate visible results!

With Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants, most patients notice a softening of facial lines, wrinkles, and scars or a more defined lip border, in just one treatment. While healing time varies, many people have the procedure and return to work that same day. The results of treatment usually last from 3 to 6 months. Just like natural collagen eventually breaks down, so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain the results you desire. If treatments with Zyderm and Zyplast implants are discontinued altogether, the injected collagen is simply reabsorbed by your body over time, and your face gradually returns to its natural contours.
