BOTOX®
Not all patients are candidates. Patients who have local infections, neurological disorders (ALS, Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton Syndrome) or who are pregnant or nursing are not candidates. Side effects are rare but include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, nausea, temporary eyelid droop, erythema at site injection, and muscle weakness.

Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require only local anesthetic. Side effects such as swelling or bruising are minimal and should fade within a few days. Results are visible immediately after the injection and can last for months or years, although the procedure can be repeated as often as you wish. For more information on Radiesse, click here.
Silk Dermal Infusion™ is a revolutionary type of microdermabrasion, a step beyond traditional microdermabrasion. SilkPeel is the only procedure that combines non-invasive exfoliation with deep delivery of skin-specific solutions to improve and revitalize your skin. SilkPeel is painless and safe. It has less time and fewer complications than with chemical peels ,lasers and more invasive procedures. SilkPeel uses a medical grade diamond exfoliator rather than crystals that can irritate the skin. SilkPeel can address a number of skin conditions including hyperpigmentation, acne, photo-damage, dehydration ,and fine line wrinkles. The medical grade diamonds exfoliate the outer layer of the skin while under a closed loop vacuum. At the same time topical dermaceuticals are intensely delivered to stimulate new cell growth. After the treatment, your skin will have a pink glow that usually fades within an hour. Afterwards, you must use sunscreen. A series or 4-6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart produces the most significant results. For more information on Microdermabrasion, click here.
Restylane is a cosmetic filler that creates volume in the depression of a fold or wrinkle. Most often it is used in the nasolabial folds. It consists of non-animal based hyaluronic acid which reduces the risk of allergic reaction and eliminates animal-based disease transmission. Unlike with collagen injection, prior allergy testing is not required. Restylane is biodegradable and compatible with human hyaluronic acid. Prior to treatment to avoid increased bruising or bleeding, patients should avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, or high Vitamin E doses. Patients with prior cold sores may also be at risk for a recurrence. Restylane is injected with a tiny needle right into the depression of the skin fold. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes. There is some discomfort so patients may wish to have localized anesthesia prior to injection. Some erythema and swelling may persist for a few days after the procedure. The site of injection must be iced after the procedure for 24 hours. Returning to work right after the procedure is not recommended. Restylane differs from BOTOX®. It fills static lines whereas BOTOX® relaxes muscles smoothing dynamic lines. Some patients get their desired look by using both products. Restylane lasts up to 6 months.

The aging process of the face can make the upper eyelids droop or appear excessively full and make the lower eyelids appear to have bags. This creates a tired or aged look. The removal of small amounts of skin and fat from the upper or lower lids can restore a more youthful appearance and refreshed look. Depending on age, the extent of the procedure , and patient preference, the procedure can be performed in the office procedure room or as an outpatient in a hospital or surgery center.

BOTOX® is a purified protein that can reduce and smooth wrinkles. It relaxes dyanamic muscles softening the lines. For example, the frown lines between the brows can be reduced with BOTOX®. This is a non-surgical procedure that takes just 10 minutes in Dr. Keamy’s office. The tiny injections feel like a small bug bite. Most patients can return to work after the procedure. Most patients see results within 3-10 days. The effects last up to 4 months in most patients.
Formerly known as Radience, Radiesse is a synthetic injectable filler that non-surgically reduces most wrinkles, creases and scars by augmenting your body's natural collagen supply. Composed of microspheres in a biocompatible gel, Radiesse is made from the same minerals found in our bones, so it carries no risk of allergic reaction (unlike collagen, which requires a skin test) - just one of its advantages over alternative treatments. Radiesse can be used on many areas of the body, but the most effective areas treated are the lips, nasolabial folds, peri-oral lines, depressed scars and oral commissures.
