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.

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.
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.

NOW, You Can Make A Difference
In Your Appearance,
Simply, Safely & Permanently!
- Smooth noticeable facial wrinkles and frown lines
- Enhance the appearance and shape of your lips by providing
a more defined lip border
KEEP the look you get with SoftForm® facial implant. In an
effort to provide a lasting solution for smoothing facial wrinkles
and defining the lip border, a team of surgeons and scientists
from the University of California, San Francisco developed the
SoftForm® facial implant. Their goal was to design a treatment
that utilizes a safe, permanent material that would be soft and
feel natural, and that could be administered through a simple
in-office procedure. The result is the new SoftForm® facial
implant.
