Botox® & Fillers
Frown lines and deep wrinkles in your forehead can make men and women appear angry or stressed out.  Have you ever looked in the mirror and pulled your skin back to see what it would look like?  At Avante Medical Aesthetics, in a matter of minutes, we can make your skin smoother, thereby erasing years from your face.  Botox can be used to smooth out the lines and a filler, like Juvederm, can be used to fill in deeper lines in many areas of the face.  Results from each can last up to four months or longer.

Botox®
Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people aged 18 and up. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment, consisting of a few tiny injections, will create a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows.  The injection contains a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form in the first place.

No anesthesia is required, although your doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting.

After treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic, you may look in the mirror and see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. But the treatment will not radically change your facial appearance. You will still be able to frown or look surprised—without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

Juvederm™ Filler
As we age, our faces begin to show the effects of gravity, sun exposure and years of facial muscle movement like smiling and chewing. The underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down, often leaving laugh lines, smile lines, and facial creases over the areas where this muscle movement occurs.  At Avante Medical Aesthetics, our physician can inject an FDA-approved, soft-tissue filler into those lines and creases, to create a fresher, more youthful appearance and help you Discover the Real You!

How It Works
The contents in Juvederm™ contain hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. When injected beneath the skin, it plumps up creased and sunken areas of the face. It can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks. Sometimes, Juvederm™ is used in conjunction with Botox® to work most effectively.
