Cosmetics

Cosmetic procedures are common reasons patients seek the expertise of board-certified dermatologists. Studies have demonstrated that cosmetic procedures are not only beneficial for a patient’s physical appearance – by improving confidence and self-image they have been shown to increase a patient’s quality of life! Our board-certified dermatologists can help guide you towards appropriate and personalized cosmetic treatments and help you develop a skincare regimen to achieve your goals from appearing more refreshed to actual removal of wrinkles and sun damage spots.

The following cosmetic procedures and products are available at Southwest Dermatology & Vein. Schedule an appointment today to consult on which may be appropriate for your skin.

Botox is a popular procedure that temporarily relaxes the upper facial muscles that cause wrinkles, such as frown lines. The medication usually works within a week with consistent and reliable results in the right hands. It’s no wonder this product has some of the highest satisfaction ratings of any cosmetic procedure!

Dysport is a very similar product to Botox. It also temporarily relaxes the upper facial muscles that cause wrinkles, such as frown lines.

Southwest Dermatology & Vein uses both the Juvéderm and Restylane family of products for facial fillers. These products consist of hyaluronic acid, a natural volumizing substance already present in your skin, in order to provide more volume which can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and creases in the face. Various members of each family are specifically designed to help restore natural-looking volume to different parts of the face including the lips, nasolabial folds, and cheeks.

An IPL Photofacial treatment uses concentrated light to improve visible sunspots, wrinkles and other signs of aging.
