BOTOX® Cosmetic BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Manufactured by Allergan, Inc., it is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, crossed eyes, chronic back and jaw pain, and migraines. JUVÉDERM® JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved dermal filler that, according to its manufacturer, Allergan, Inc., is designed to "temporarily treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds" in people older than 21. Unlike the original JUVÉDERM injectable gel, JUVÉDERM XC is infused with lidocaine to make its injection more comfortable. Restylane® U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Restylane® injectable gel is a cosmetic "filler" that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that is found in the body. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, HA levels decrease, resulting in loose skin and wrinkling. When injected, Restylane gel is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable.

Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive procedure that will be performed using FDA 510k-cleared equipment and best practice safety and hygiene techniques to immediately lift facial skin and gradually renew the body's natural collagen. How Silhouette InstaLift™ Works The Silhouette InstaLift procedure involves the placement of absorbable sutures under the skin. These absorbable sutures include tiny cones that utilize an opposing cone orientation to achieve tissue lift and compression by grabbing and holding facial tissue in the elevated position. Procedure Before insertion of Silhouette InstaLift sutures, your provider will mark the locations where the Silhouette InstaLift sutures will be placed. A local anesthetic will be injected for pain control. Small punctures will be made in the skin with a small needle; then, the Silhouette InstaLift sutures will be inserted under the skin through those small punctures. Your provider will then apply tension to the Silhouette InstaLift sutures followed by compression of your skin to achieve the desired lift. Minor pain, swelling, and bruising may be present for a few days after the procedure and bruising may occur from the local anesthetic injections.
