Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin: Injected medications used to relax certain muscles of the face, resulting in less wrinkles, and a more youthful appearance.
Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse: Volumizing and wrinkle reducing injectible natural materials which are used to restore the facial contours seen in younger skin. They are mostly used in the cheeks, angle of the jaw, temples, and lips, as well as areas of deep wrinkling such as the nasolabial folds and and marionette lines. They can also be used for filling depressed scars as well.
