Botulinum Toxin

Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® ...

What Is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is most commonly used to treat dynamic facial expressions such as forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet around the eyes. 


Why Choose Botulinum Toxin?
This non-surgical treatment offers natural-looking, rejuvenating results with minimal downtime. It is a safe, quick, and effective solution for both preventative aging and the softening of existing wrinkles. Results typically appear within a few days and last between 3 to 6 months.


How Does Botulinum Toxin Work? Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to specific facial muscles. This controlled relaxation of the muscles prevents repetitive movements that lead to the formation of expression lines, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance. Common Treatment Areas
Forehead lines
Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Bunny lines (on the nose)
Chin dimpling
Jawline slimming (masseter reduction)
Neck bands (platysmal bands)
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis – underarms, palms)

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Juvéderm®, Restylane®, etc.

What Are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers? 

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are injectable gels designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and adds plumpness. When injected, it helps rejuvenate the skin and create a more youthful appearance. 

Common Treatment Areas
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines (from mouth to chin)
Lips (augmentation and hydration)
Cheeks (volume restoration)
Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
Chin and jawline definition
Nose reshaping (non-surgical rhinoplasty)
Hands (volume restoration)

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers 
Immediate, visible results
Non-surgical and minimally invasive
Hydrates and plumps the skin
Natural-looking enhancements
Little to no downtime
Gradually and safely absorbed by the body
Reversible (with hyaluronidase, if needed)
   
How Do Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work? 
These fillers are injected into specific areas of the face to restore lost volume, contour facial features, or fill in lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, which helps maintain volume and skin elasticity, giving a refreshed and lifted appearance. 

Who Is a Good Candidate? 
Ideal candidates are individuals looking to address signs of aging or enhance facial features without surgery. Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe for most skin types and can be customized to suit each patient's aesthetic goals. What to Expect During Treatment The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most fillers contain a numbing agent (lidocaine) for comfort, and a topical anesthetic can also be applied beforehand. Results are visible immediately, with minor swelling or bruising resolving in a few days. 

How Long Do Results Last? 
Depending on the product used and the treatment area, results typically last 6 to 18 months. Regular maintenance treatments help preserve results and stimulate collagen production over time. 

Safety and Expertise Matter 
At our clinic, all dermal filler procedures are performed by an experienced plastic surgeon using premium-quality products. Each treatment is tailored to respect the natural proportions and balance of your face, ensuring elegant, subtle results.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite Fillers

Radiesse®

What Are Calcium Hydroxyapatite Fillers? 
Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) fillers are biocompatible injectable treatments designed to restore volume, reduce deep wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. CaHA is a naturally occurring substance found in bones, making it safe and effective for facial rejuvenation. When suspended in a gel carrier, it provides both immediate volume and long-term collagen stimulation. 

Common Treatment Areas
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines
Chin and jawline enhancement
Cheek augmentation
Facial contouring (non-surgical lift)
Temple hollows
Hand rejuvenation
Note: CaHA fillers are generally not recommended for the lips or under-eye area due to their thicker consistency. 

Benefits of Calcium Hydroxyapatite Fillers

Immediate volumizing effect with natural results
Stimulates the body’s own collagen production
Long-lasting results (up to 12–18 months or more)
Ideal for deeper wrinkles and facial sculpting
Biocompatible and gradually absorbed by the body
Requires fewer touch-ups over time

How Do Calcium Hydroxyapatite Fillers Work? 
CaHA fillers are injected into targeted areas to provide structure and support. The gel carrier offers immediate volume, while the CaHA microspheres stimulate collagen production over time—leading to firmer, smoother skin even after the filler itself is naturally absorbed. 

Who Is a Good Candidate? 
CaHA fillers are ideal for patients looking to treat moderate to severe wrinkles or restore significant volume loss—especially in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. It is a great option for patients seeking both immediate and long-term rejuvenation without surgery. 

What to Expect During and After Treatment 
The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes. A topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. Most patients experience mild swelling or redness that resolves within a few days. Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen builds. 

How Long Do Results Last? 
CaHA fillers typically provide results that last 12 to 18 months, with some effects—like improved skin firmness—lasting even longer due to natural collagen stimulation. 

Expertise You Can Trust 
At our clinic, CaHA fillers are administered by myself, an experienced plastic surgeon with advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetic balance. Each treatment is personalized to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance your features without overcorrection.

Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA)

Sculptra®

What Is Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA)? 
Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA) is a biostimulatory dermal filler that works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that offer immediate volume, PLLA gradually restores facial structure and firmness over time, resulting in long-lasting, natural rejuvenation. It is the main component in products such as Sculptra®. 

How Does PLLA Work? 
PLLA is injected deep into the dermis, where it acts as a collagen stimulator. While initial volume may appear right after treatment, it is mostly due to water in the suspension and subsides within days. Over the following weeks and months, PLLA particles encourage the body to produce new collagen—restoring volume and improving skin texture progressively and naturally. 

Common Treatment Areas
Cheek volume loss
Temples
Jawline and chin
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Lower face rejuvenation
Off-label: décolletage, arms, buttocks, and thighs (for skin tightening or cellulite)

Benefits of Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers 
Stimulates your body’s natural collagen production
Results appear gradually for a subtle, natural enhancement
Long-lasting effects (up to 2 years or more)
Improves skin texture and firmness
Ideal for full-face rejuvenation
Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Who Is a Good Candidate? 
PLLA is ideal for patients experiencing age-related facial volume loss or skin laxity and who prefer progressive, natural-looking results. It’s also a great option for those looking to improve overall facial structure without resorting to surgery or frequent touch-ups. 

What to Expect During Treatment 
The procedure typically lasts 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A series of 2–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results. Mild swelling or bruising is normal and subsides quickly. As collagen builds gradually, full results are usually seen within a few months. 

How Long Do Results Last? 
PLLA fillers offer long-term results, often lasting up to 24 months or more. Periodic maintenance sessions can help extend and enhance the effects. 

Expert Treatment for Lasting Results 
At our clinic, PLLA treatments are performed by myself, a board-certified plastic surgeon with deep expertise in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques. Each treatment plan is fully personalized to ensure harmonious, youthful results that respect your natural facial contours.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)? 
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural treatment that uses a concentrated solution of your own blood platelets to stimulate collagen production, accelerate healing, and rejuvenate the skin. Rich in growth factors, PRP enhances skin texture, improves tone, and promotes regeneration at a cellular level — all without chemicals or synthetic additives. 

How Does PRP Work? 

A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, then processed using a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets. This PRP is then re-injected or applied topically to targeted areas of the skin. Once introduced, it activates the body's natural healing processes, encouraging collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration. 

Common Uses of PRP in Aesthetic Medicine
Facial Rejuvenation (PRP Facial / "Vampire Facial")
Hair Restoration (for thinning or early-stage hair loss)
Under-Eye Rejuvenation (reduces dark circles and crepey skin)
Acne Scars and Skin Texture Improvement
Neck, décolletage, and hand rejuvenation
Post-procedure healing (microneedling, laser, etc.)
Benefits of PRP Treatment 100% natural and biocompatible — uses your own blood
Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness
Boosts collagen and elastin production
Reduces fine lines and acne scars
Stimulates natural hair regrowth
Minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection
Safe for all skin types
Little to no downtime

What to Expect During the Procedure 
The treatment begins with a quick blood draw, followed by 10–15 minutes of centrifugation. Once the PRP is ready, it is either injected into the skin or applied after microneedling for enhanced penetration. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Some redness or mild swelling may occur and usually resolves within a day or two. 

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP? 
PRP is suitable for individuals looking for a natural approach to rejuvenation. It’s ideal for patients experiencing dull skin, early signs of aging, thinning hair, or looking to enhance healing after a cosmetic procedure. Since it’s derived from your own body, it’s also an excellent option for those with sensitivity to other products. 

How Many Sessions Are Needed? 
A series of 3–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be done every 6–12 months depending on the area treated and individual response. Long-Term Results with Minimal Risk PRP offers gradual but noticeable improvements in skin quality and hair density. Results typically start to appear within a few weeks and continue to improve over several months. Since it works by stimulating your own biological processes, the outcomes are subtle, natural, and long-lasting. 

Performed by an expert for Optimal Results
 At my clinic, PRP treatments are administered by a myself as a qualified plastic surgeon using advanced techniques and sterile protocols. Whether you’re seeking facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, or post-procedure enhancement, we customize your treatment plan to meet your individual goals.

Injectable fat-dissolving treatments: ​Kybella, Lemon bottle, phosphatidylcholine (PC)

🧪 1. Kybella® (Deoxycholic Acid Injection) 

What Is Kybella®? 
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin (submental area), effectively reducing the appearance of a double chin. Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. 

How Does Kybella® Work? 
Once injected into the targeted fat beneath the skin, Kybella® destroys fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by the body’s natural metabolic processes. Once eliminated, those fat cells do not return, making the results long-lasting with a stable weight. 

Common Treatment Areas
Double chin (submental fat)
Jawline contouring
Off-label: jowls, bra fat, lower abdomen, inner thighs (performed by trained professionals only)

Benefits of Kybella® 
Non-surgical, minimally invasive fat reduction
Permanent destruction of fat cells
Defined and contoured jawline
No need for general anesthesia or liposuction
Little to no downtime

What to Expect 
The treatment usually takes 15–30 minutes. You may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness that subsides within a few days. Multiple sessions (2–4) spaced about a month apart may be required for best results. 

Is Kybella® Safe? 
Yes, when performed by a qualified medical professional. As with any injectable, side effects are possible, but serious complications are rare when administered properly. 

🍋 2. Lemon Bottle (Fat-Dissolving Solution) 

What Is Lemon Bottle? 
Lemon Bottle is a non-surgical fat-dissolving injection that combines natural ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, and plant extracts, designed to safely reduce stubborn localized fat while improving skin tone and firmness. 

How Does It Work?

Ideal Candidate 
Lemon Bottle is best suited for patients with small areas of stubborn fat or those looking for a more natural approach to contouring without downtime. 

💉 3. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) / Lipodissolve Injections 

What Is Phosphatidylcholine (PC)? 
Phosphatidylcholine is a naturally occurring enzyme (often used in Lipodissolve formulations) that breaks down and emulsifies fat. When injected directly into localized fat deposits, it promotes cell lysis, allowing the body to metabolize and excrete the fat through natural processes. 

How Does It Work? 
PC works by disrupting the fat cell membrane, causing the contents to be released and naturally eliminated via the lymphatic system. It is often combined with deoxycholate for enhanced fat breakdown. 

Common Treatment Areas Double chin
Love handles
Abdomen
Thighs
Arms
Back/bra fat

Benefits of PC Injections 

Non-invasive alternative to liposuction
Progressive fat reduction
Safe and effective in small fat deposits
Enhances body contour and definition
Can also improve cellulite in some cases

What to Expect During Treatment 
The injection takes about 15–30 minutes. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness. A series of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is commonly recommended for optimal results. 

Safety Note Although PC is considered safe in aesthetic use, it must be administered by trained professionals to avoid complications like skin irregularities or inflammation. 

Collagen Stimulators

What Are Collagen Stimulators? 
Collagen stimulators are injectable treatments that trigger your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume, improving skin texture, and enhancing facial structure over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply add volume, collagen stimulators rebuild the skin’s foundation from within, offering long-lasting, natural rejuvenation.

 The most commonly used collagen stimulators include:
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — e.g. Sculptra®
Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) — e.g. Radiesse®
Polycaprolactone (PCL) — e.g. Ellansé®
   
⚙️ How Do Collagen Stimulators Work? 

These injectables contain biocompatible particles that, once placed under the skin, activate fibroblasts to produce new collagen. The results appear gradually over weeks to months as collagen fibers rebuild the skin’s volume, firmness, and elasticity. The final outcome is a naturally lifted, smoother appearance. 

📍 Common Treatment Areas 
Cheeks and midface
Temples
Jawline and chin
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Hands
Neck and décolletage
Off-label: body skin tightening (e.g. upper arms, thighs, abdomen)
