Cosmetic is the trade name of Type A, a powerful muscle toxin protein produced by Clostridium bacterium. When injected in tiny amounts directly into a specific muscle, an effect called botulism occurs, only relaxing the action of that muscle. This procedure is very effective at softening the lines that come from facial movements like frowning and squinting, tightening the facial skin.

Cosmetic is the first and only FDA-approved prescription product that temporarily improves the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and moderate to severe crow’s feet in adults. Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It's not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, or damage caused by free radicals. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow's feet.

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin's surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also streches, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. Dermal fillers can be used to: plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, and improve the appearance of recessed scars. Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging. We use the latest FDA approved materials from the best manufacturers.

This is injected into the muscles of the face, including the forehead, around the eyes, between the eyebrows, around the mouth, and in the neck to improve wrinkles, frown lines, and neck bands, to achieve a smoother more relaxed and youthful appearance.

It is a naturally occurring injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is injected into the skin to provide volume and hydration. With aging, the natural volume of youthful skin diminishes, and wrinkles and folds form, often accentuated by the changes that accompany sun damage.
