These products can be used individually to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).
Restylane works immediately by adding volume to smooth away wrinkles. A clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid, Restylane is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own hyaluronic acid. So, you can use Restylane to visibly reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds for a younger-looking you.
Like Restylane, Perlane is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to add fullness like your body’s own hyaluronic acid.
What makes Perlane different is the average size of the particles and the depth of injection. On average, the gel particles in Perlane are larger than those in Restylane, which makes Perlane a good choice for wrinkles that benefit from a deeper injection into the skin.
In three clinical studies of 150 patients each, on average 70% of patients maintained improvement for six months after just one Perlane treatment.

Dysport For Frown Lines
Dysport is used in over 36 countries to temporarily improve the look of moderate to server frown lines.
Dysport USA's website decribes this treatment best...
Over time, repeated movement of the facial skin by the muscles forms frown lines between the eyebrows.
Wrinkles are not only age related. Frown lines are “dynamic”—they happen because of the way a person’s face moves. Because frown lines are created by facial movements such as frowning or squinting, they may develop even in younger adults. Dysport is used to treat moderate to severe frown lines in adult patients less than 65 years of age.
The muscles above and between the eyebrows contract and tighten, and can cause wrinkles. Dysport blocks the nerve signal that causes these facial muscles to contract. This ultimately results in a localized reduction of muscle activity in the treated area and temporarily stops the contraction of these muscles.

Definition of Varicose Veins
Veins normally function to return blood to the heart. Valves in the veins close after blood travels up the vein, preventing blood from backing up (refluxing) down the vein. Valves can become abnormal, or incompetent for a variety of reasons, including trauma, pregnancy, or hereditary factors.
Once a valve becomes incompetent, the vein below the valve is exposed to higher pressure, and can become larger (dilate). Other valves and veins nearby are exposed to the higher pressure and can also dilate. Varicose veins commonly appear on the legs as raised, often ropy, enlarged veins. They can cause the legs to swell, throb, and in severe cases, can lead to inflammation, ulcers and blood clots.

A Couple Of Common Questions
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is treatment for veins in which a sclerosing solution is injected into the veins causing them to seal shut. Sotradecol® is the primary solution used at the Laura Ellis MD Skin Care & Vein Centre, PLLC and is the only FDA approved sclerosing agent in the US. The solution is injected into both the feeder veins and the spider veins.
How is Sotradecol different from hypertonic saline treatment?
To achieve the best results when treating spider veins; the "feeder" or reticular veins that have created the spider veins must be sclerosed in addition to treating the spider veins that you see on the skin's surface. Sotradecol® is used at a slightly stronger concentration to seal the larger feeder veins. Hypertonic saline generally becomes too diluted and is not able to seal these larger veins that cause spider veins.

Biltmore Park
The Biltmore Park, what a well thought out community. Their website says it best, "There was a time when towns and villages were planned so that all of life happened within walking distance. The community’s town square was the center for all activity, the place to go for whatever you needed — whether for business, daily errands, or just to have fun and meet your neighbors. To visit the town square was to find the living, breathing heart of a place."
You will be happy to know that yours truly is opening a office in this area. On the Biltmore Park website, they have mentioned our arrival...
"Biltmore Park Welcomes Three New Medical Services
