cosmetic enhancement are: BOTOX® Cosmetic; Obagi
skin care line and
the Obagi

Dermesse skin care line; and tissue
fillers Radiesse and Restylane.
Botox® cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein that is injected into
certain muscles of the face to reduce the wrinkles that are associated
with muscle activity. It
helps soften the deep creases that occur between the eyebrows,
around the mouth and the eyes (crow’s feet), and in the
forehead by relaxing the muscles that are causing these wrinkles. The
results can be expected to last about 3 months. The injections
can be performed quickly, safely and easily in the office with
essentially no down time.

Obagi– Professional
skin care products
The Obagi system combines specially developed products with
medical supervision and counseling to treat your skin from the
inside out. This program works on the surface to smooth
roughness and correct damage like uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.
It also penetrates below the surface to stimulate cell renewal,
improve circulation and help restore your skin’s natural
moisture. The results? Beautiful, healthy skin.
The Obagi line is considered the “gold standard” of
skin care products. It is designed to work with Retin-A
to stimulate new layers of skin production while the old, wrinkled,
dry and discolored layers gently peel away. The combination
of color-evening agents and light moisturizers improve the skin’s
texture, appearance, clarity, amount of moisture and overall
health. You will notice a dramatic improvement in the appearance
of fine lines and the development of vibrant, soft, even-toned
skin.
Obagi’s newest line of skin care products are based on
prescription strength vitamin C and designed specifically for
patients who want to improve and maintain their youthful complexion. Its
color-evening agents and its special formulation allows the vitamin
C to penetrate deep into the skin to remove blemishes and sunspots
and tighten the skin.

Obagi Blue Peel
The Obagi Blue Peel represents a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. The
peel solution consists of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) which removes
the superficial layer of skin to expose the undamaged layers
of underlying skin. Your skin will become revived with
the removal of fine wrinkles, age spots, and blemishes as well
as improvement in skin elasticity.
The Obagi Blue Peel is performed by our board certified plastic
surgeons, Dr. Dash and Dr. Jain, in our Colorado Springs office.

and to treat hyperpigmentation and photoaging. The regimen is

Radiesse
Radiesse is a tissue filler used to fill in facial wrinkle. It
is usually injected into the folds between the cheeks and the
nose, lines or wrinkles in the forehead, around lips and eyes
and other areas that require increased fullness. It
can also be used to augment tissues and improve facial contour
deformities.
Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite, a mineral found
in teeth and bone; therefore, it is safe and does not require
pre-testing. Injections are done in the office with minimal
swelling and inflammation that usually resolves in 24-36 hours. The
results are seen immediately and can last up to up to a year
or longer.
Many patients will choose to have Radiesse injected into the
vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows at the same time as their
Botox injections. This produces a synergistic effect since the
Botox will relax the muscles in this area and prevent the wrinkles
from worsening with facial movement, while the Radiesse softens
the wrinkles further.

Restylane
Restylane is cosmetic dermal filler approved for use in correction
and softening of facial wrinkles and creases, such as the nasolabial
fold. It is composed of hyaluronic acid which is naturally
found in the human body. When injected into the body, it binds
to water molecules to help restore volume & fullness to the tissues.
With time and gravity, the cheek skin begins to sag resulting
in deepening of the fold that starts at the nose and goes to
the corner of the mouth (nasolabial fold). Injections of Restylane
can soften the fold by adding volume to the crease, thereby,
decreasing signs of aging. Restylane can also be injected into
the red portion of the lips to create a more voluptuous
appearance.
Restylane is a safe and effective procedure that can be done
in the office with minimal discomfort. Most patients can expect
to have the age reversing appearance of Restylane to last for
approximately 6 months.
