Hand rejuvenation with RADIESSE®: Barb’s treatment experience.

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Sara

Barb shares her experience with this safe and effective hand filler treatment. More than any other body part, our hands tend to betray our age. Their delicate skin is exposed to our environment as much as our face, though we usually take less care to protect them!

This was certainly the case for our beloved Clinic Liaison/Bookkeeper Barb, so she opted to have a hand … Continue reading »

How do I choose the best dermal fillers?

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Sara

The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic reviews your filler options for best results. As we age, and as a result of sun exposure, hormonal changes, and other lifestyle factors, our skin begins to lose hyaluronic acid and collagen, resulting in fine lines, hollows, wrinkles, folds, and a loss of fullness and elasticity. Luckily, dermal fillers can help restore lost volume and minimize these telltale signs of aging non-surgically, and usually, with almost no downtime. Treatments are quick and easy—the dermal filler solution is gently injected into target areas to lift and plump the skin—and provide a lasting and natural-looking solution to many … Continue reading »
