BOTOX® Cosmetic

Plastic Surgery Associates of New Jersey offers BOTOX® Cosmetic as a non-surgical solution for wrinkles that can form on your face and make you look tired or angry. Our surgeons will work closely with you to determine if BOTOX® is appropriate for you.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe wrinkle lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows, as well as crow’s feet. Millions of men and women have turned to BOTOX® Cosmetic to restore a more relaxed and youthful appearance. Administered by a physician, it is a non-surgical option that requires no recovery time.

Available to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65, BOTOX® Cosmetic works by reducing the activity of the muscles that cause the lines to form by blocking nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions. Results vary with each patient, but can last up to four months.

Juvéderm® XC

Manufactured by the same company that makes BOTOX® Cosmetic, Juvéderm® XC dermal filler is a smooth gel filler used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Juvéderm® XC replaces hyaluronic acid your skin has lost. As hyaluronic acid levels diminish with age, skin becomes less hydrated and loses volume. The result can be nasolabial folds the “parentheses” (smile lines) along the side of the nose and mouth, marionette lines (vertical wrinkles and folds that form below the corners of the mouth) and/or vertical lip lines (wrinkles above and around the lips).

Injected directly into wrinkles and folds, Juvéderm® XC temporarily fills and smoothes out the treated area providing immediate, natural-looking results that can last up to a year. Juvéderm® XC is formulated with the local anesthetic lidocaine, providing enhanced patient comfort during treatment.

Sculptra® Aesthetic

Sculptra® Aesthetic is used to help replace lost collagen, a structural component of skin that keeps it smooth and young looking.

As we age, collagen production decreases and wrinkles begin to appear. Through a series of treatments, the skin’s structure is reinforced as Sculptra® Aesthetic helps replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds.

Sculptra® Aesthetic is effective in diminishing the appearance of nasolabial folds (the “parenthesis” (smile lines) along the side of the nose and mouth, marionette lines (vertical wrinkles and folds that form below the corners of the mouth), and chin wrinkles.

A full treatment of Sculptra® Aesthetic, an average of three injection sessions over a few months, can last up to two years. The main ingredient is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used by physicians for decades.

LATISSE®

Many associate aging with changes in their skin such as wrinkles or folds. However, your eyelashes can also change through the years. They may get shorter, thinner, or lighter. LATISSE® is an FDA-approved treatment that grows lashes longer, fuller, and darker. It is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (eyelashes that are inadequate or not enough) that you apply at home. LATISSE® is applied topically to the base of your upper eyelashes once daily, as instructed by your doctor. Results occur gradually, with increased length seen in as little as four weeks. Full growth is typically achieved after 16 weeks of treatment.
