Injectables

At Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, we offer a wide range of cosmetic injectables:

BOTOX

BOTOX is a simple non-surgical cosmetic procedure to smooth the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop as you age. BOTOX is a relatively short cosmetic treatment, involving tiny injections of a special protein-based cosmetic injectable. It relaxes the muscles that cause the age lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to four months. The BOTOX treatment is safe – it is FDA approved and has been extensively tested. Read more about BOTOX.

LAVIV

LAVIV is an autologous cellular product used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe nasolabial folds, or the smile lines. An autologous product is one that is obtained from the same individual which means that your LAVIV is made specially for you from your own collagen-producing fibroblast skin cells. It is the first and only FDA-approved individualized therapy that helps polish the smile lines. Read more about LAVIV.

Dysport

Dysport is a cosmetic injectable treatment (FDA-approved) that reduces the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles on the forehead. It is similar to BOTOX and injected directly into the site of wrinkles to prevent the underlying muscles from contracting. The difference between Dysport and BOTOX, however, is that, Dysport can diffuse muscles one to three centimeters from the injection point, while Botox can only diffuse as far as one centimeter, allowing for results that reach further facial areas with just a single injection. Read more about Dysport.

Juvederm

Juvederm is touted as the “next generation” of cosmetic injectables. It gels gently smooth wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose and restore a youthful volume to the face. Made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to provide volume and support to the skin, Juvéderm is especially effective on smile lines and “parentheses” (nasolabial folds) that run from the bottom of the nose to the sides of the mouth. Treatment takes only 15 minutes with immediate results and no downtime. Results typically last about 6-9 months. Read more about Juvederm.

Restylane

Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic injectable that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds , such as nasolabial folds. Restylane is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Restylane maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is hydrophilic or “water loving.” This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results. Read more about Restylane.

Perlane

Perlane is a cosmetic injectable used to treat deep facial lines, augment the lips and contour the cheeks and chin. Made by the same company that produces Restylane, Perlane contains purified hyaluronic acid, a sugar found naturally in the body that works with collagen to keep the skin smooth and supple. It is hypoallergenic and so does not require a pre-treatment skin test. With its unique ability to bind with water, Perlane continues to perform up to 60% longer than collagen.

Prevelle

Prevelle Silk is an advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) gel dermal filler that is injected just under the skin’s surface with minimal irritation. This cosmetic injectable adds volume and smoothes out facial wrinkles and folds for a more youthful appearance. Prevelle Silk consists if purified hyaluronic acid and lidocaine. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic added to provide pain relief at the site of the injection. The result is a safe painless procedure that generates smooth skin with little to no downtime.

Evolence

Evolence is an advanced cosmetic injectable, derived from porcine collagen, that provides long-lasting correction of moderate to deep facial wrinkles, folds, as well as scars and other depressions and hollows in the skin. It is especially effective for the wrinkles from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Scientifically engineered to mimic the properties of natural collagen in skin, Evolence is a major breakthrough in aging treatment. Read more about Evolence.

Collagen

Collagen is a protein that naturally occurs in the body and provides support to various parts of the human body: the skin, the joints, the bones and the ligaments. Cosmetic injectable collagen, patented by the Inamed Corporation under the trade names Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast®, is derived from recombinant human collagen. Read more about Collagen.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a cosmetic injectable filler that reduces wrinkles, creases and scars by augmenting the 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 little risk of allergic reaction. Radiesse can be used on many areas of the body, including the lips, nasolabial folds, peri-oral lines, depressed scars and oral commissures. Read more about Radiesse.

Sculptra

Sculptra is an anti-aging treatment, a cosmetic injectable that gives natural-looking, long-lasting results over time. With an average of three injection treatments, spread over the course of several months, the Sculptra procedure helps replace lost collagen, and correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds. Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a safe, synthetic, biocompatible, biodegradable material, injected below the surface of the skin in the fat loss area. Read more about Sculptra.

ArteFill

ArteFill is a non-absorbable cosmetic injectable used for smile correction. ArteFill is the only FDA-approved injectable smile correction treatment of its kind. ArteFill has a dual-acting formula consisting of a combination of 20% ArteFill Precision-Filtered Microspheres and 80% ArteFill Purified Bovine Collagen. The result is the immediate visible smile correction of facial wrinkles and folds in as few as one or two treatment sessions with no downtime. Read more about ArteFill.

The Selphyl System

The Selphyl System is an anti-aging procedure which allows physicians to prepare an autologous Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then used as a cosmetic injectable. Because it uses the patient’s blood, the Selphyl treatment is also known as the “Vampire Filler”  or “Vampire Facelift.” Read more about the Sephyl System.
