The Unique Benefits of Sculptra® and Radiesse®

Dermal fillers are designed to restore lost facial volume, combating the common signs of aging by giving your skin a smoother, firmer appearance. Each dermal filler has its own strengths and, when used properly, can effectively address different cosmetic concerns. Unlike many dermal fillers, Radiesse® utilizes very tiny crystals containing calcium hydroxyapatite to treat facial aging rather than hyaluronic acid (HA). Calcium hydroxyapatite is a substance that resembles constituents of bone found naturally in the... Continue Reading

In fact, she easily looks 10 years younger in my opinion!

Cosmetic Injectables: How Long Do Results Last?

The excess fat is removed - leaving the lower eyelid with a more favorable shape and contour.

Avoiding the Stigma of Male Cosmetic Surgery

This is a great case example of what great facial plastic surgery can do - while avoiding the stigma of male cosmetic surgery.
