Non-surgical medical aesthetic procedures can shed light on the range of options available for individuals seeking cosmetic enhancements without undergoing surgery. These procedures have gained immense popularity due to their effectiveness, minimal downtime, and ability to address various skin concerns. Let’s delve into some prominent methods:

 

  • Botox (Botulinum Toxin):

    Derived from laboratory synthesis, Botox is a toxin utilized to induce temporary paralysis of nerves and muscles responsible for excessive contractions of facial tissues, leading to both temporary and permanent skin creases. The depth of these creases typically correlates with the duration of wrinkling persistence. Early intervention can prevent the formation of deep lines or static wrinkles.

    Treatment commencement is ideal upon noticing unattractive skin wrinkling. This involves injecting varying amounts of toxins into facial muscles with a needle. Results typically manifest within two weeks and last approximately 3-4 months. Repeated treatments can mitigate redeveloping wrinkles. Early intervention may cause fine lines to vanish, while larger creases or deeper wrinkles may diminish but not entirely disappear, often necessitating additional interventions like HLA filler injections.

    Botox pricing varies based on the required quantity. We do not offer special deals or injection discount days, as our everyday prices are competitive. Pricing discounts are tiered, offering greater savings with larger purchases. Interested individuals are encouraged to visit for a consultation.

  • Morpheus 8 (Microneedling w/RF Energy)

Morpheus8 is an innovative procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology. It utilizes tiny needles to deliver RF energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This approach effectively treats wrinkles, acne scars, and improves skin texture, providing a more youthful appearance. Micro-needling, on the other hand, involves the use of a device with fine needles that create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, acne scars, and a more even skin tone.

  • Fillers (HLA Volumizers):

Contrary to Botox, fillers consist of molecular proteins and structures akin to human tissues. They address volume loss-related issues due to aging, complementing Botox by filling tissues while toxins paralyze nerves and muscles. Both treatments yield positive results and a rejuvenated appearance.

Various filler particle sizes cater to different areas, treating delicate or deeper tissues like the chin or cheeks. Some studies suggest volumizing fillers may prompt neocollagenesis, wherein the body generates new collagen in previously injected areas. Notably, Radiesse’s use in deep cheeks has shown significant neocollagenesis over 1-2 years.

Filler effects typically last 6-12 months or longer, contingent on the patient and filler type. Pricing depends on filler type and required units. Often, fillers are combined with other non-surgical options like Botox or Morpheus micro-needling with RF, with detailed pricing discussions during complimentary office consultations.

  • Laser Treatment for Vascular Spots/Vessels:

Laser procedures utilize concentrated beams of light to target specific skin concerns, including cherry angiomas, telangiectasias, and superficial varicosities on the face, neck, body, and anogenital areas. Different types of lasers are employed based on the desired outcome and skin type.

These treatments effectively address vascular issues such as cherry angiomas, fine telangiectasias, or varicosities across various body regions, including the labia. Utilizing a destructive infrared laser, this approach effectively treats small, thin vessels or varicose veins, resulting in remarkable outcomes. While superficial, red, or light purple spots respond well to treatment, larger, bluer vessels are less ideal candidates.

Before considering any non-surgical aesthetic procedure, it’s crucial to consult with Dr. Scott Woody and his team. They can assess your individual needs, discuss realistic expectations, and recommend the most suitable treatment option. Additionally, understanding potential risks, side effects, and post-procedure care is essential to ensure a safe and satisfactory outcome. Always prioritize your safety and well-being when considering any cosmetic procedure.
