Before After

BOTOX® is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines in the forehead, crow’s feet and between the eyebrows. One ten-minute treatment – a few tiny injections – relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed for up to 4 months. You will look natural and more youthful. People will know you’ve done something – they just don’t know what.

The doctors at Grossmont Dermatology have been treating patients successfully with BOTOX® for nearly a decade. This expertise is recognized in our physician assistants and their skillful technique in BOTOX® treatments.

 

RADIESSE™   Facial Enhancement

Among the latest in facial filler treatments, Radiesse™ is comprised of a form of calcium.  When injected, the cream like texture of Radiesse™ builds up tissues of the face reducing folds and creases and restoring fullness.  The result, a natural-looking appearance with long-lasting effects, generally 12 to 18 months.

      

 

                                                  

Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores fullness to unwanted facial wrinkles and folds.  Because it is made from hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the human body, no allergy skin test is needed before treatment can begin and results are seen immediately following your treatment.   Treatment  results can last six months or even longer.  

Perlane® is a member of the Restylane family and differs from Restylane only in particle size.  Your physician will decide which filler is right for you.

Juvéderm    I N J E C T A B L E  G E L

As you age, your skin reduces production of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid.  Over time, the loss of hyaluronic acid in your skin results in facial wrinkles and folds, like those "parentheses" lines around your mouth. Juvederm replaces this substance, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.  Juvederm lasts 6 months and, in some cases, up to one year.

 

 

ARTEfill®  THE FIRST TO LAST

ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler.  If you have previously used temporary dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acide, collagen and fat, then you know they are eventually absorbed by the body and require repeat injections to maintain correction.

ArteFill is different.  PMMA microspheres in ArteFill are not absorbed by the body and provide the permanent support your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction.  Because the PMMA microspheres are suspended in a bovine collagen, a collagen allergy skin test must be administered 30 days prior to injection of ArteFill. 

 

 

Collagen Aesthetics  - Zyplast® & Cosmoplast®

As our natural collagen diminishes with age, lines and wrinkles begin to form.  Lines around the mouth and the deep lines that form from the nose to the mouth corners (nasolabial folds) are commonly filled with collagen.  A natural appearing, fuller and more youthful lip can be obtained as well with collagen lip augmentation.  Treatment can be done in a short office visit and results are apparent immediately.  The effects of collagen typically last for up to four months and two treatments maybe needed for maximum correction.

Zyplast® collagen requires an allergy skin test, and if no allergy is indicated treatment can begin in thirty days. Cosmoplast®, however, requires no skin test, and treatment can begin immediately.
