THREE-TO-FOUR WEEKS PRIOR TO EVENT:
Injectable Fillers
Targets: • Cheeks and jowls • Dark circles under eyes • Smoker’s lines around the mouth, thin ill-defined lips • Contour lines, folds, and wrinkles • Hooked nose
As we grow older, our skin naturally begins to lose elasticity resulting in increasing wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage and other signs of aging. Injectable fillers are used to give you a more youthful appearance by adding volume to your skin.
Juvederm/Perlane
Juvederm/Perlane are FDA approved injectable fillers made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin. Juvederm/Perlane are utilized to help smooth away unwanted wrinkles, plump up lips, restore volume to face, and to remove smile lines, nasolabial folds, and acne scars. These fillers provide a more natural-looking, youthful appearance, and your results can last up to one year. *Individual results may vary.
Radiesse
Radiesse is another dermal filler that is utilized to add volume to your skin. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in water-based gel, Radiesse is unique because it acts as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and support. Following injection of Radiesse, your body is stimulated to naturally produce new collagen-giving you an immediate and long-lasting improvement of fine lines, folds and wrinkles. Radiesse can also provides facial volume, giving you a more natural and youthful look for a year or more. *Individual results may vary.
Botox/Dysport
Targets: • Forehead lines • Glabellar frown lines • Crow’s feet • Excessive sweating • Banded neck • Non-surgical eyebrow lift

In about 5 to 7 days, your facial lines should fade to reveal a more youthful appearance, with results that can last up to 4 months. *Individual results may vary.

LAST MINUTE DECISIONS:
Even if your event is next week, you still have options. Here are some last minute procedures with little to no downtime-so if you are seeking quick results just in time for that rapidly approaching reunion or TV appearance, look no further!
Dysport
Targets: • Frown-lines (glabellar lines) between eyebrows • Crow’s feet furrows • 11 lines • Non-surgical eyebrow lift

SilkPeel
Targets: • Facial wrinkles
SilkPeel is a simple, non-invasive procedure that works in conjunction with Microdermabrasion to exfoliate skin and stimulate new cell growth. SilkPeel leaves your skin smoother-allowing makeup to be applied more evenly. Treatment typically takes 20 minutes. After the procedure, your skin should be softer, and looking healthy and more refreshed. *Individual results may vary. Make up may go on more evenly and your skin should have a healthy glow.
Dilute Steroid Injection
Targets: • Acne cysts
Acne cysts deep in your skin can be painful. If you want an overnight fix for your acne cysts, consider coming in for a steroid injection. An injection of cortisone, a chemical that is released naturally in the human body in response to inflammation, provides fast and painless relief from cystic acne-reducing swelling and healing the lesions overnight. With an injection of cortisone into your acne cyst, healing should begin immediately and you may notice a difference in your skin the following day. *Individual results may vary.
