Fillers (Bovine collagen, a.k.a. Zyderm/Zyplast, is being phased out due to availability of superior products.)

Cosmoderm® is lab-generated human collagen which is great for fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and especially in the lower face where botox is less effective. The combination of botox and cosmoderm is ideal. The incidence of allergic reaction is extremely low and skin testing is not required. Typically 1⁄2 cc is used per session, at a cost of.........$200.
Because of the small amount required for fine lines, more frequent treatment is usually required; effects last approximately 2-3 months.
Pain is minimal other than around the lips, where a numbing cream should be used for comfort.

Restylane® is a clear gel containing hyaluronate, a molecule natural to our body.It is longer lasting than collagen, and is used in the lower face and lips. The combination of Restylane for deep placement and Cosmoderm for fine lines is ideal. Anesthetic cream must be used and antiviral medication may be required prior to lip injection if the client has had cold sores. The cost is.........$375 per unit.
Aspirin/motrin should be avoided for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment.

Vein sclerotherapy for small to medium spider or varicose veins is available. Multiple sessions are usually required. Costs are............ $100 - $200 per session.
