NEUROTOXINS in Plano, Texas

The purified toxin is reconstituted in saline and injected into the muscles to be affected. It only takes a couple minutes for the treatment and minimal discomfort is involved. Occasionally, a mild headache and pinpoint bruising follow the injections. The effects of neurotoxin usually begin in 3-4 days but will take up to 14 days to be fully appreciated.

Alternatively, the results of filler are immediate. In the office, the skin is anesthetized and thoroughly cleaned. Several methods of placement are utilized depending on the location and product, but we most commonly utilize a special device (micro - cannulas) for both safety purposes and to avoid bruising during injection. For specific areas, we also employ facial nerve blocks, topical anesthetic, cold anesthetic, and distraction techniques as needed to achieve the desired comfort level for the patient. Correction is performed to an appropriate level to avoid an overfilled, unnatural appearance. As an extra safety and satisfaction measure, most fillers also have the benefit of being dissolvable. Deoxycholic Acid (Kybella) is a new, FDA approved, injectable for treatment of the under chin area (submental fullness). This can result in permanent volume reduction and improved contour. The treatment is a quick, office procedure. An immediate, but short-lived, burning sensation is appreciated, with subsequent fullness in the area.
