Cosmetic botulinum toxin A or bo-tox injections $12/unit. Trade names are Botox and Xeomin (pronounced Zeo-min) Amount necessary will vary and will be discussed and agreed upon prior to injection. Average amount for glabellar (between the eyebrows or "11s" ), crows feet, and forehead range from 24 units to 40 units. Botulinum toxin A works to prevent wrinkles by specifically targeting the facial muscle to cause prolonged but temporary paralysis. Click on Botox or Xeomin to learn more.
Hyaluronic Acid cosmetic wrinkle fillers $500.00/0.8-1.0cc syringe. Trade names are Juvaderm Ultra/Juvaderm Ultraplus and Restylane-L/Perlane-L These hyaluronic acid (a building block of collagen that is both effective and safe) "fillers" work to smoothly correct wrinkles by filling space either directly or by filling a deficit created by the aging process. This works great especially around thinning lips to provide several months to a year of correction. The new "L" denotes the addition of lidocaine making it more comfortable than previously!
Radiesse wrinkle filler $300/0.8cc or $550.00/1.5cc syringe.
This calcium hydroxyapetite "3rd generation filler" is longer acting, provides more fill, and even turns into collagen as it is slowly broken down over several months to years. This works excellent in the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and cheeks.
Asclera polidocinol for the cosmetic treatment of spider veins, telangectasias, and unsightly reticular veins.
glo minerals "Beauty with a Higher Purpose" mineral makeup.

TCA combo peel 20% $250.00 Want a real result without the expense of a laser? This "frost peel" is perfect to get rid of superficial wrinkles (crepiness). Plan 4 days of no makeup recovery time. A Therapon post peel recovery kit is included with the peel.
TCA combo peel 30% $400.00 Stronger TCA means deeper penetration into the deeper layers of the skin, means better result. Still well within safety limits and is considered a medium depth peel, but you will need to set aside 10 days of recovery time. A Therapon post peel recovery kit is included with the peel.
