BOTOX
Botox is injected into areas of the face that cause a slight relaxation of the specific muscles around your eyes and forehead, temporally improving the fine lines and wrinkles.
What to expect after a Botox® Cosmetic treatment
On average, the effects of a Botox® treatment typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with the full effects taking place at about two weeks post-treatment. A person’s results last approximately three to four months. Over this period the muscles will begin to regain their ability to move and additional injections must be repeated. However, studies have shown that after repeated Botox® treatments, the results will lead to longer and longer results between treatments.
For an illustration of what your possible Botox result outcome could be in the Tri-Cities area, you can use the Botox Treatment Visualizer.
Some minor swelling or bruising may occur where the Botox® was injected, but usually subsides in a matter of hours. If swelling does occur, you can elevate your head at a 30 to 45 degree angle. You can also apply ice on and off during the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling. Sometimes the treated area will be slightly red and irritated, however, you may apply makeup one hour after the injections.

FILLERS
JUVÉDERM XC & JUVÉDERM XC PLUS
JUVÉDERM® XC is the smooth dermal gel facial filler that is injected into the skin to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one single treatment, someone’s appearance can be changed to smooth out facial depressions around the mouth and nose. Natural looking results have been shown to last up to a year using Juvederm XC.
JUVÉDERM® XC dermal filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment to smooth out the nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Using a fine needle, JUVÉDERM® XC is injected under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis. This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds almost instantly.
JUVÉDERM® XC consists of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that hydrates and keeps the skin looking healthy and youthful. Unlike other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, JUVÉDERM® XC is infused with lidocaine to help reduce discomfort during treatment. JUVÉDERM® XC provides you with smooth results.
The best part about JUVÉDERM® XC is that everyone will notice how good you look, but no one will know you had anything done.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC
As you age, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. Your cheeks can lose volume and skin may begin to sag. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is the first FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over the age of 21. It can provide you contour and a subtle lift for up to two years with optimal treatment.
LATISSE

The Latisse solution contains an active ingredient called “Bimatoprost” that is well known for its ability to enhance lash growth.

EltaMD Sunscreens help prevent sunburn and decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by daily UVA exposure. EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with transparent zinc oxide, which deflects UV. Most drugstore brands use only chemical ingredients that absorb, rather than deflect UV. EltaMD sunscreens are recommended by dermatologists and are approved by environmental working group (EWG) for their safety and effectiveness.
VEINGOGH
The VeinGogh Ohmic Thermolysis System provides a superior correction for the treatment of fine spider veins or telangiectasia, especially on surface blood vessels that have shown themselves to be resistance to other forms of spider vein treatments like sclerotherapy, laser or IPL.
VeinGogh is an extremely fast, easy way to treat spider veins cosmetically with minimal discomfort, and better results compared to other therapies.
Unfortunately, most lasers and other light-based solutions can be expensive, are typically skin-type dependent, and have a greater risk of causing injury.
The VeinGogh system uses a micro-thin, insulated needle-like probe that transmits heat directly to the location, which coagulates and instantly eliminates most spider vein vessels, on any skin-type, and on virtually any part of the body.
