With nearly immediately noticeable results, no surgery, and minimal recovery time, Botox can return the face to a more youthful look, quickly and safely. Dr. Peterson injects Botox directly into the muscles in a simple procedure, and after a few hours, you'll be able to resume normal activity.

The results of the injection will begin to appear within three to four days, and the effect will last up to four months. After that, treated muscles will begin to regain movement, but a quick repeat treatment makes it simple to sustain the look you want.

JUVÉDERM is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that keeps it hydrated. As we age, our skin begins to lose its concentration of hyaluronic acid, which contributes to formation of wrinkles and folds.

Dr. Peterson injects the gel into problems areas using a fine needle. JUVÉDERM has a smooth consistency, and flows easily into the skin during the injection process. This results in a smooth, natural look and feel not possible with other hyaluronic acid fillers that are made with a granular consistency.

If you are looking to add volume to your cheek area, we also offer JUVÉDERM VOLUMA services. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is the first FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss.

As we age, lines known as nasolabial folds begin to form from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Restylane works immediately to eliminate moderate to severe folds, and facial wrinkles, and can add fullness and definition to lips* in as little as one treatment.

Consisting of a clear gel formulated with hyaluronic acid, Restylane acts like the body's own hyaluronic acid and eventually break down naturally.

*Restylane for lips can only be used for patients over 21 years old.
