BOTOX
Laughing, smiling and frowning causes facial muscles to contract and your skin to crease. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and those creases deepen into wrinkles. Dr. Miner is a trained professional with Botox, a non-surgical prescription medication that temporarily reduces frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, restoring a more youthful appearance to your face.

Dermal Filler
If you are looking for a non- surgical face lift or you just want to smooth out a few fine lines or fill in deep set wrinkles; injectables are for you. Often times people may not understand the difference between Botox, Xeomin, Dyspot and dermal fillers (Restylane, Juvéderm, Radiesse, Perlane, Sculptra). Botox type products work by decreasing the movement of muscles that cause worry lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other wrinkles. Botox achieves this by temporarily obstructing the signals traveling from the nerves to the muscles, thus slowing muscle movement and compelling wrinkles to soften and relax. Xeomin works in a similar manner to Botox and is what we offer as our Botox alternative.
Botox type products can be injected to lift certain areas of the face and increase the life of dermal fillers. You can expect results within 3-5 days, and they can last for 3-6 months. Botox can stand as an individual treatment or be combined with many other anti-aging treatments for better results. Dermal Fillers, however, are products which puff up weakened facial features, and often can stimulate collagen growth. Each dermal filler is unique in its own way but they all work in two ways. First, they plump the skin and gently lift it to restore collagen loss due to the normal aging process. Secondly, dermal fillers motivate the body to create its own natural collagen.
Besides lifting the characteristics of the face, restore volume, and improve wrinkles, they rejuvenate the skin providing a smooth youthful look. Dermal fillers work rather quickly and can last from several months up to as long as 2 years. Both forms of treatment work well separately but provide optimal results when used in combination with each other.
There are many different types of Dermal Fillers such as:
• Restylane
• Juvederm XC family (Ultra, Ultra Plus, Voluma)
• Radiesse
• Belotero Balance
• Prevelle Silk
