As we age, the supporting structures of the face, including the bones, muscles, and fat gradually atrophy.  This contributes to sagging skin and sometimes a droopy appearance of the face.  Although a facelift can improve this problem, it is the more radical available solution, not to mention that it carries the problems of scarring, downtime, risks of surgery and higher expense.

An alternative to traditional facelift surgery is the use of Botox and injectable dermal fillers, such as Radiesse.  Fillers can be injected into areas where supporting tissue loss has occurred, as well as to re-build facial prominences, such as the cheekbones.  Botox aids additionally by causing lifting in certain areas where the downward pull of facial muscles is relaxed.  This results in a rejuvenating effect as the skin now lies over a fuller support structure.
In addition to fillers, resurfacing treatments, such as chemical peels, e.g. the Vi Peel, and even IPL Photofacials stimulate the production of collagen and cause a gradual improvement in skin tone.  This improves the overall color and texture of the skin and is a great complement to Radiesse and Botox.

Latisse is the new FDA-approved treatment to make lashes longer and fuller.  Differences were amazing at 6 months and side effects were uncommon and minor in the FDA study.  It took us a very short time, after reviewing the safety and efficacy profile, to add Latisse to our menu of services.  Latisse is made by Allergan, the makers of Botox.  TMD Medi-Spa will now carry Latisse for only $125 per vial.  You will typically start seeing results after 3-4 weeks.  A free consultation is necessary to ensure that Latisse is right for you.  Go to the Latisse page here.
