BOTOX
Botox® is perhaps the simplest and most popular of all injections. The board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Mune Gowda uses Botox® to remove or soften the frown lines between your eyes, the crow’s feet around your eyes, and anywhere muscle activity causes wrinkle lines on your face.
Wrinkles and creases are formed when the muscles beneath delicate skin around the eyes, nose, and mouth contract over and over. Botox® can be used to relax the muscles. Dr. Gowda uses a very small needle to inject Botox® directly into the muscle that is causing the wrinkle. Essentially, Botox® keeps the muscle from contracting by impeding the nerve impulse. Gradually, the muscle relaxes, causing the facial wrinkles to soften or lessen.
Ours patients generally experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. This sensation lasts from five to seven seconds. The entire treatments takes 10 or 15 minutes and you can get back to your day as soon as it’s over. Botox® injections last for about three to five months. Sometimes, a course of treatments will lengthen the amount of time that Botox® is effective. Some patients have found that they can see the results for as long as eight months.
SkinVive
Here we glow! JUVÉDERM®’s SKINVIVE™ is the first and only hyaluronic acid microdroplet injection for smoothing the cheeks. By hydrating the skin and improving its ability to retain natural moisture, SkinVive volumizes and refreshes the cheeks so that they attain a smoother and healthier look. A single treatment can achieve results that last six months. SkinVive is safe for patients of all skin types and tones and requires no downtime. We are excited to now offer this injectable at our Novi and Troy offices.
Restylane™
Board certified plastic surgeons use Restylane™ to restore fullness to the skin and lips. Restylane™ is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that can be used to fill more superficial wrinkles and folds (such as those around the mouth and below the eyes).
Juvederm Voluma™ XC
Juvederm Voluma XC is the most recent hyaluronic acid soft tissue filler to join the family of FDA approved Juvederm products and we are excited to offer the revolutionary new filler Juvederm Voluma at our Novi and Troy, MI, offices.
RHA Redensity™ Fills in Lipstick Lines for a Flawless Smile
RHA Redensity™ is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to adapt and move with your facial expressions. The injectable gel is FDA-approved for moderate-to-severe lipstick lines above and below the lips, providing immediate results that may last up to 12 months.
Lipstick lines, or dynamic perioral rhytids, form after years of lip and face motions, and these creases can collect lipstick that accentuates the wrinkled appearance. RHA Redensity™ smooths these rhytids for beautiful lips and flawlessly moves with your facial expressions for a natural appearance.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a compound in your skin that works with collagen and elastin to provide a youthful, plump facial appearance. Unfortunately, HA decreases with age and worsens facial lines and wrinkles. RHA Redensity™ uses a formula to create a synthetic HA that closely resembles your natural HA stores.
The versatile nature of RHA Redensity™ allows women to wear any color of lipstick they prefer without worrying the cosmetic will settle into the cracks of their lip wrinkles. This injectable gel adapts to your lip motions and is part of the RHA® Collection of resilient hyaluronic acid fillers.
