What is Botox?

Botox relaxes specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles when they contract. Botox is injected directly into these muscles with a small needle, which causes minimal discomfort. No anesthesia is required for the procedure. Millions of people have been treated with Botox and have improved their appearance since the Food and Drug Administration approved Botox for cosmetic use in 2002.

What is Radiesse?

Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume. Radiesse is a substance that fills in wrinkles and helps your body generate new collagen to smooth out the signs of aging. This results in a natural-looking wrinkle correction.
