What’s the Best Way to Prepare for BOTOX®?
Each time you fold a sheet of paper, you crease it. Those creases eventually start to appear as lasting marks that can be seen even when the sheet is smoothed flat. The same principle causes changes to the thin skin on the outer layer of our face. The constant movement involved in our everyday actions—like …

Juvederm® Ultra vs. Ultra Plus: How Do They Compare?
Facial fillers like Juvederm® from our Denver-area injectors are effective for smoothing etched-in facial wrinkles, lifting the skin in areas where it’s sunken or hollow, and refining facial contours to create a more youthful appearance. The fillers in the Juvederm® collection are all made up of a gel-like substance that contains hyaluronic acid as a main ingredient. However, each is …

The Top 5 Benefits of Chemical Peels
When your skin becomes cracked, dry, and discolored during the colder months, it can make you look tired, worn-out, and older than you really are.

BOTOX®: How to Get Natural-Looking Results
BOTOX® sometimes gets an unfair reputation for giving patients a frozen or expressionless, robotic appearance—typically after someone’s poor results make national news.

How Can You Get a Vampire Facial?
For skin that has become dry, discolored, plagued by acne breakouts, or wrinkled, even the typical skin products you’ve been using might not make much of a difference.

Focusing on the Jawline & Neck: Laxity and Rejuvenation

But for these mild-moderate patients, I do not portray these non-surgical results with devices as equivalent to surgery. Surgery can often be a …

How Can I Reduce Frown Lines?
Those vertical lines between your eyebrows that are called “glabellar lines,” “frown lines,” or “11s” usually result from making habitual expressions, like frowning or squinting. Your skin is constantly pulled, stretched, and creased as your muscles carry out the appropriate actions. Aging contributes to the formation of these unwanted grooves as well, since older skin …
Being Happy Shouldn’t Age You: How BOTOX® Hides Smile Lines
Those tiny lines at the outer corners of your eyes, nicknamed “crow’s feet,” occur due to the movements of the muscles around your eyes, which constantly tug and squeeze at the thin, delicate skin in this facial area.
