Botulinum Toxin A
Botulinum toxin A is an FDA approved mediation to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscles.
In addition to aesthetic purposes, botulinum toxins can be used for a multitude of treatments.
- Chronic migraine headaches
- TMJ pain (Tempomandibular
Joint Dysfunction)

3-4 months.
Xeomin
Like Botox and Dysport, Xeomin is a botulinum toxin type A, which is approved to treat wrinkles like the "11" lines between the brows and frown lines. Botox and Xeomin work by the exact same mechanism, which is blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, causing the muscles to relax and wrinkles to smooth out.The primary difference between the products is that Botox has an accompanying, inactive protein, while Xeomin does not have additives. Xeomin is a purified form of the neurotoxin; it's manufactured in such a way that it removes accessory proteins from the active ingredient.
XTRACT Technology™, that uses two filtration steps to isolate the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing/unnecessary proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment. Xeomin® is a double filtered neurotoxin. Head-to-head studies evaluating the relative risk of immunogenicity due to the presence or absence of complexing/unnecessary proteins have not been performed.
3-4 months.
Dysport
Dysport is an FDA approved mediation to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscles. Dysport is much more diluted and in theory, spreads quickly compared to Botox.
3-4 months.
Daxxify
Daxxify is in a family of medicines known as neuromodulators/neurtoxins, which includes the drugs such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. The effects of these established neuromodulators typically last about three months.
What’s different about Daxxify is that it may keep wrinkles at bay for even longer. In clinical trials submitted to the FDA for approval, 80 percent of people using Daxxify had no or minimally visible facial wrinkles after four months, and roughly half of participants still had little evidence of wrinkles at six months, and some participants as long as 9 months.
4-12 months.
Restalyne, RHA, & Versa
These dermal fillers are composed of Hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance found throughout the body: joints, tissue, fluids, and particularly skin. As we age, our hyaluronic acid stores become depleted. This leads to fine lines and wrinkles and poorly hydrated skin. The key benefit of hyaluronic acid is hydration and that unbelievable ability to retain moisture and use of dermal fillers can give a more youthful appearance.
We use dermal fillers to create facial contour, add youthful volume to the face, and smooth out lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used in multiple areas of the face including but not limited to cheeks, lips, temples, chin, tear troughs, jaw, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.
6-18 months depending on the type of filler used and the area of the face that it is injected.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxyapatite rather than hyaluronic acid. Calcium hydroxyapatite stimulates your body’s innate bone and collagen production. Two important components in how the skin changes over time are collagen and elastin, because they help keep facial lines and wrinkles at bay. Collagen and elastin both contribute to the skin’s strength and elasticity. Radiesse provides Immediate contouring plus stimulation of collagen and elastin.
Radiesse is placed over bony surfaces such as the jaw, cheeks, and chin to create projection and add volume and contour. Radiesse is a unique product in that it stimulates the body’s own production of endogenous collagen for a result that lasts and builds over time.
12-18 months
The Nefertiti Neck Lift, named after the Egyptian Queen known for her smooth neck and sculptured jawline, is a procedure using neurotoxin to redefine the jawline, soften marionette lines and lift sagging neck muscles. Neurotoxin injections are applied along the lower jawline, decreasing the downward-pull of the cheek by muscles under the jaw. As the downward-pulling muscles are relaxed, the upward-pulling facial muscles hold the cheek up without resistance. The Nefertiti Neck Lift reverses the balance of muscle power, giving a toned and defined jawline. Muscle relaxing injections into the jawline and upper neck create an upward movement of the skin. The Nefertiti Neck Lift provides a sharper–looking jaw line border and also uplifts the corners of the mouth.
The Nefertiti Neck Lift provides a definitive change and with consistent treatments, keeps the jawline taut, straight and defined. A highly effective treatment that can turn back the clock with tighter, tauter skin for a sharp and contoured jawline and a smooth, sleek neck
Are you a candidate?
We have found that the Nefertiti Lift tends to be the most effective among patients who lack significant neck fullness (double chin) and who have minimal skin laxity in their neck and jawline; excess fat deposits and droopy skin along the neck and jaw will likely obscure your results.
It’s also important to have reasonable expectations if you are considering a Nefertiti Lift, as results are intended to be subtle. This can be combined with filler to enhance your jawline giving you that snatched appearance.
This treatment stimulates endogenous production of collagen and improves over time for lasting results.
- Restores definition to the jawline
- Lifts the lower face, and reduces jowls
- Relaxes and tightens neck cords
- Minimizes Necklace lines
- Reduces Marionette lines
Improvements can last up to 3 years.
Kybella is a nonsurgical injection technique used to reduce excess fat beneath the chin. It uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is naturally produced by your body in you digestive system. It helps to break down fats so they're more easily digested. Deoxycholic acid is also used as an emulsifier in foods. It’s also a non-surgical option for lipomas, non-cancerous tumors made of fat cells. Kybella is injected into your submental area (your chin) it kills fat cells, reducing the appearance of a double chin.
Typically 2-4 treatments are needed for optimal results, however results are evident after only 1 treatment. Each treatment takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
All results are permanent.

HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE WORK FOR WEIGHT LOSS?
Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is released by the gut after a meal, and it helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.
GLP-1 also acts on the brain to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, therefore reducing hunger. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and ultimately weight loss.

HOW DOES Tirzepatide WORK FOR WEIGHT LOSS?
Just like semaglutide, tirzepatide works by targeting important hormones involved in weight control. If you’re looking for a helping hand to shed some extra pounds, these modern marvels may lend you a helping hand – though as with all medicines, they aren’t magic bullets but part of an overall weight-loss strategy.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable treatment based around a double whammy of hormone-regulating action. It targets lucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptors in the body, potentially giving it an edge over medications that only address one or the other. By balancing blood glucose and food intake, it can assist in weight management and body weight reduction efforts.
People taking tirzepatide — the active ingredient in Mounjaro — were up to three times more likely to achieve weight loss than those using semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and its sister drug, Wegovy. The findings are based on real-world data from more than 18,000 U.S. adults who had obesity or were overweight and started using Ozempic or Mounjaro between May 2022 and September 2023.
Patients taking Mounjaro were three times more likely to lose 15% of their body weight and over two and a half times more likely to lose 10% of their body weight than those taking Ozempic or Wegovy, the analysis found. They also experienced larger reductions in weight at three, six and 12 months into treatment.
It is important that you consult with a doctor to determine if you are a candidate for medication weight loss therapy. Book online or call us to book your consultation with Dr. John. She will go over benefits, risks, expectation, and personalize a weight loss strategy for you!
