The eye area is one of the most delicate areas of the face. The skin is thinner and more sensitive around the eyes, as well as more vulnerable to signs of aging. Hollows under the eyes can give the face a tired, aging appearance, even after a restful night’s sleep. So, many people seek out cosmetic treatments to rejuvenate the under-eye area.

Dermal fillers and PRP are both injectable treatments to rejuvenate the skin. Dermal fillers work by plumping the skin with a hyaluronic acid solution. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is derived from the patient’s own blood and works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair process.  Read More →

When you are just starting to see the signs of aging, it can be confusing looking at all of the available anti-aging treatments. One of the go-to treatments for those just starting to see lines and wrinkles are neurotoxin injections such as Botox. While Botox is well known in the cosmetic world, its two competitors are not as well known. Here are the differences between them and how to choose the right one for you.

Too many people consider Dysport to be only for women, but there are several benefits of Dysport for men, as well. Like women, men are also concerned about aging and their appearance. The most common areas for men to treat with Dysport are forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Dysport uses the same neurotoxin found in Botox to relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Here are three benefits of Dysport for men.

Subtle Improvements

Dysport allows for subtle improvements to your appearance without feminizing your look. Other products such as Botox and Xeomin are more likely to produce dramatic and sometimes feminine results, yet Dysport makes only subtle changes that improve your appearance without really making a dramatic change.
