A neck lift procedure specifically targets loose skin, excess fat, or weak muscles under the jaw and chin. The necklift is effective with both targeted liposuction and Botox injections. If you are concerned about sagging skin around your neck and would like a pleasing neckline, a neck lift may be an excellent option. Always consult with a board-certified physician to help make your decision. We are happy to help. Please contact our office so that we can help you determine which procedure is the best fit for you.

Belotero Filler

BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler

As we age, the skin loses its youthful appearance as the production of natural support structures diminish. Over time, those structures such a hyaluronic acid, commonly called HA, begin to disappear, resulting in wrinkles. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is an injectable filler that quickly integrates into your skin filling in facial wrinkles.1 With BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler, you can replace lost HA caused by the natural aging process. Once injected, it instantly fills in the skin and smoothes out wrinkles on your face. Use BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler to get the results you want for the look you deserve.

BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler and Other Fillers

While BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of the same material (HA) as some other dermal fillers, BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal filler has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction. The versatility of the product makes it strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth) as well as more delicate areas such as vertical lip lines (thin lines that appear above the lip line).

If you’re ready to experience the benefits of BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler for yourself, contact Dr. Fisher.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Drfisher on January 30, 2023

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the trade name of Botulinum Type A, a powerful muscle toxin protein produced by Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected in tiny amounts directly into a specific muscle, an effect called botulism occurs, only relaxing the action of that muscle. This procedure is very effective at softening the lines that come from facial movements like frowning and squinting, tightening the facial skin.

All our BOTOX® procedures are performed by the surgeon-not a nurse-and the BOTOX® is minimally diluted for long lasting results.

ActiveFX™

Drfisher on January 30, 2023

ActiveFX yields remarkable, long lasting results with just one treatment. A fast, office-based procedure with minimal patient downtime, ActiveFX is your single-treatment solution for wrinkled, sun-damaged skin.

A high-energy laser beam is applied in a fractional pattern over the surface of the treatment area, leaving areas of untouched skin to promote quicker healing.

Is ActiveFX right for you?

ActiveFX is an ideal treatment option if you:

have a busy lifestyle or cannot be away from work for a long time
want noticeable results with minimal downtime
want to treat dyschromia, fine lines and wrinkles

What can you expect following ActiveFX?

You may feel warmth similar to sunburn following your ActiveFX treatment. You can drive yourself home after the procedure. With a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen, your phototreated skin will begin to flake off within 2 days. After about 4-7 days, your doctor will probably let you wear make-up. Pinkness is often gone in about a week.

What is ActiveFX?

With ActiveFX treatment, a high-energy beam of laser light interacts with the skin’s surface causing the upper layer to peel off and regenerate a layer of new, healthy skin. The laser beam is applied in a fractional pattern, leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner.

ActiveFX Benefits

ActiveFX produces a dramatic effect on the skin:

Causes immediate collagen contraction
Reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and softens deeper frown lines
Noticeably improves skin tone and texture
Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin

Results of treatment can be maximized with proper sun protection. Most effects of treatment become visible right away, whereas others—such as new collagen formation—build up gradually and results in continued smoothing over time. Therefore, most people continue to show improvement up to six months after the procedure.

Profound RF

Drfisher on January 25, 2023

Profound is a new, energy-based facial treatment designed to turn back the clock on your face. It works by stimulating your body’s own natural collagen-building systems in just one single short, in-office treatment. As a result, it boosts elasticity in a way that makes aging skin look years younger. For patients who are noticing signs of skin sagging, wrinkling or other age-related damage, Profound makes a world of difference.

Is Profound right for you?

Profound is an ideal treatment option if you:

Want to reduce the signs of facial skin aging
Have sagging skin, especially around the jowls and cheeks
Do not have a history of poor skin healing

What can you expect in treatment?

Your Profound treatment will take less than 45 minutes to complete from beginning to end. You’ll receive local anesthetic beforehand, so the entire procedure is quick and comfortable. During treatment, the system heats your skin at deep layers in a controlled, precise way that stimulates new collagen production. Because it delivers the heating energy right where it’s most beneficial, you’re able to reap the greatest benefits.

Lifts sagging jowls and loose skin on the neck
Redefines the jawline
Minimizes the look of a double chin
Treats areas of loose skin
Works in just one single treatment

Brow Lift

Drfisher on January 25, 2023

Over time, wrinkles and creases naturally form over the forehead. These occur as the skin stretches and the brows sag. A heavy brow can make the upper lids appear “saggy” as well. Some patients with heavy upper lids also have a saggy brow. A browlift or “forehead lift” elevates the brow and creates a younger more attractive face and eyes.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The browlift is often performed endoscopically with three small incisions behind the hairline. The advantage of this approach is minimal scarring, and shorter recovery time. Please contact our office so we may help you determine which procedure is the best fit for you.
