If you’re worried about aging skin and elasticity, you should be thinking about collagen. For a treatment that utilizes and builds collagen, I’ve discovered some amazing facts about Sculptra®. It builds and sculpts your face non-surgically, and though results aren’t immediate, it achieves natural looking results.
Collagen stimulation can occur in response to injury when the tissue breaks down and repairs itself, which we see after laser, chemical peels or microneedling or in response to a biostimulatory product like Sculptra® which triggers a controlled inflammatory response that stimulates cells ...

But, because Daxxify has a different formulation, it has an extended effect on your muscles and can last many more months than other treatments.
That means more time between treatments. You may hear about it referred to as ...

Botox is not only used for cosmetic purposes. When properly administered, botox is also a very effective way of controlling migraines. Botox is used to relax the muscles that trap the nerves on your face and scalp and cause migraine symptoms. Patients who receive this treatment often report fewer instances of migraine headaches with less intensity if they do occur. A proper consultation with Dr. Capuano is necessary to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

So many of us are concerned when looking in the mirror from mid day on and feeling like we have that tired, exhausted look. The puff, as I refer to it, above or below your eyes, where your lids look like they are napping and sagging over your eye or resembling a cradle below your eyeball. Could that be the result of exhaustion, allergy or the need for a minor skin excision, or something less invasive like fillers or botox? The answer may be even as simple as a botox ...
