cosmetic enhancement are: BOTOX® Cosmetic; the
Dermesse skin care line; and tissue
fillers Radiesse, JUVÉDERM®, 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.

If you have tried the Obagi skin care line and have been pleased

less-expensive alternative. Dermesse is a comprehensive skin
care line that works at the cellular level to improve skin texture & tone
and to treat hyperpigmentation and photoaging. The regimen is
by prescription only and can be customized by the physician to
suit your individual needs. The hydroquinone products are odorless
and are safe for all skin types and colors.
The components of the Dermesse skin care line are prescription strength and therefore produce much more profound, scientifically proven, results that are not seen in over-the-counter products.

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.

JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® is a smooth gel made up of Hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in your skin, that helps to restore lost volume and fullness in your skin. It is used in different areas of the face where creases and fold may be found to soften and reduce the signs of aging. It is also often used to provide more fullness to the lips which tend to thin with age.
The procedure to inject JUVÉDERM® into the wrinkles of the face takes around 15 minutes to perform in the office. There is minimal down time associated with the procedure. The result are visible immediately. Most patients can expect it to last around 1 year.
JUVÉDERM® is an excellent option for patient who are looking to restore some of the lost volume of the face that occurs with aging. Furthermore, it will soften the folds and creases that form a result of normal facial movement. Call the cosmetic surgeons at the Institute of Plastic Surgery in Colorado Springs to see if you are a candidate.

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.
