Facial wrinkle treatment with noticeable results.

Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify® injections are simple, non-surgical treatments that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

What are Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify injectables?

A prescription medicine, made of a purified protein that temporarily improves the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in adults younger than 65 years of age.

How does it work?

A simple, non-surgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes lines to form between the brows. Individual results may vary.

Is it a painful treatment?

We may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.

Will I have any downtime?

There is typically no downtime after your treatment. It is the perfect lunch time beauty enhancement.

Possible but not common side effects?

Side effects associated with the injection include localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising.

When will I see results from a treatment?

Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate-to-severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to 30 days.

How long does it last?

Visible results have been shown to last up to 4 months. Your own results may vary. You can receive injections every 3 to 4 months to help you maintain the results, as long as you don’t have any serious allergic reactions or other significant side effects.

Wrinkles, depressed scars and lip enhancement treatment.

SKINVIVE is JUVÉDERM’s latest hyaluronic acid injectable designed to enhance skin texture by increasing smoothness and moisture levels.

Have you lost the luscious and full lips you had in your twenties, or always just admired them in others? Are there fine vertical creases in and above your lips? Do those deep creases and frown lines make you look unhappy or tired.

These effects of aging, sun exposure, and heredity can be improved by using dermal fillers.

Juvéderm diminishes the appearance of static wrinkles that are present when the face is at rest. Other popular uses include lip augmentation, filling nasolabial folds, creases around the mouth, vertical lip lines, forehead and frown lines, and depressed scars.

What is Juvéderm filler?

Juvéderm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration.

How does it work?

Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

How long does the treatment take and when will I see results?

The injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate.

Will I have any downtime?

There’s minimal recovery or downtime with possibly some bruising. This can usually be covered with makeup.

Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling, creates hundreds of tiny wounds in the top layer of skin using fine needles. This treatment successfully helps repair skin from the effects of aging, as well as pigment issues, sun damage, and acne scars.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive treatment that delivers tiny punctures to the skin using micro-fine needles. This causes healing to take place in the skin and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.

What does microneedling treat?

• Repairs visible scars
• Reverses sun damage and pigmentation issues
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Tightens skin

What should I expect after my microneedling treatment?

Prior to the treatment, numbing cream will be applied to minimize the slight pain that is felt during the procedure. After the treatment you will have some inflammation, however this will be temporary and will subside greatly within several hours. Mild swelling reduces over one day. Your skin may remain a little red for two days after the treatment. The inflammation and swelling can be soothed with topical creams applied after the procedure.

Using hyaluronic acid after the procedure can help reduce inflammation. Sunscreen should always be used to protect the skin. A good mineral makeup, such as glominerals™ is an excellent makeup to use after the treatment.

How many treatments are recommended and what results should I see?

Three treatments are recommended for increasing collagen and elastin production. However, you will see improvement after only one treatment. Scar reduction may require more than three treatments.

After the treatment, your skin begins to heal itself immediately, producing new collagen that stays active for approximately a year. This new collagen and increased elastin production will provide you with younger, healthier, and firmer-looking skin.

You will notice fewer wrinkles, fine lines, and a reduction in acne scars. Most of all you will experience better overall tone and texture in your skin.

A non-surgical treatment that dissolves a double chin.

Avanti is pleased to offer the latest FDA-approved injectable treatment that melts away chin fat: Kybella®. Until now, those who wanted to reduce a double chin — also known as submental fullness — would have to resort to liposuction. No longer is this surgical procedure necessary to eliminate a double chin. Finally, a non-surgical way to simply and easily dissolve that fat!

How long do Kybella results last?

When injected into the fat under your chin, Kybella dissolves the fat cells. Once gone, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the desired result is achieved, no further treatment is needed.

When will I see results?

Kybella results are seen within several weeks of the treatment.

How does Kybella dissolve a double chin?

The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

Will I experience any side effects from Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA approved treatment. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area.

Can Kybella be used in any other area?

Kybella is only approved for the treatment of fat occurring below the chin, and it is not known if Kybella is safe or effective for treatment outside of this area.

Safe and successful vein treatment.

Sclerotherapy is a popular method of eliminating superficial talangiectasis, or “spider veins.” During the procedure, a saline solution called a sclerosing agent is injected into the veins. The process causes a gradual fading of the treated vessels and ultimately they disappear over a period of several months.

Does sclerotherapy work for everyone?

Most people treated have good results. However, there is no guarantee that sclerotherapy will be effective in every case. Approximately 10% of patients who undergo sclerotherapy have poor to fair results.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments differs from patient to patient depending on the extent of spider veins present. One to six or more treatments may be needed. The average number of treatments is three to four. Individual veins usually require one to three treatments.

How long is each sclerotherapy session?

The injection portion of each session takes only 15 to 30 minutes on average to complete, though this can vary depending on the size and extent of the treatment area.

Do I have to limit any activity after the treatment?

Walking regularly after you you have had sclerotherapy is recommended. This encourages good circulation. However, you should not participate in any strenuous activity for the initial days after your treatment.

Can sclerotherapy be done on the arms or face?

Yes, it is currently considered safe to perform sclerotherapy on the hands, arms, and face. We will discuss in detail options for treating blemishes and vein problems in these delicate areas.

What are the most common side effects of sclerotherapy?

Bruising, which will last one to several weeks. Use of support hose may be recommended, and avoidance of alcohol and anticoagulant medications for 72 hours prior to each treatment session may minimize effects.

• Approximately 30% of patients notice a discoloration of light brown streaks after treatment. In rare instances, this darkening of the vein may persist for four to twelve months.
• Some may experience mild pain at the site of the injection. The veins may be tender to the touch after treatment. The pain is usually temporary and, in most cases, lasts from 1-7 days.
• Blood accumulation in treated vessels may present a tender bump at the treatment site. The use of prescribed compression hosiery will minimize this possibility.
