Valentines Special
February is a time when people think about their loved ones. Plump lips are sexy. As a secondary sex characteristic, lips send signals that register deep in the male brain. Whether men consciously realize it or not, they’re programmed to desire women with succulent lips. Now that cosmetic surgery has made buttery, pleasing lips available to everyone, they’ve become more popular than ever.
During the entire month of February, you can receive a free lip plumper with each Juvederm injection. Juvederm is a wonderful filler that lasts about a year that can be used to plump your lips, or even soften the jowl lines or lines in your cheeks (nasolabial folds).

The New Face of Fillers
Are you concerned about wrinkles and lines on your face? For a number of years, we have had good fillers such as Restylane, and more recently Juvederm. The nice thing about these hyaluronic acid fillers has been their naturalness and pliability. Restylane lasts about 6-8 months, while Juvederm can last up to a year.
However, one of the newly approved products for facial filling is called Radiesse, and it is in a different category of products. Radiesse (formerly Radiance) is made of small spheres of calcium hydroxyapetite that are injected. These microspheres are then replaced by your body with collagen.
A new study out in the journal Dermatologic Surgery compared the results of injecting one side of the face with Restylane and the other side of the face with Radiesse. In this head to head comparison, Radiesse had better results at 6, 9, and 12 months.
Give us a call at (703) 924-3144 if you are interested in trying Radiesse!

December Open House
We are holding an open house on Tuesday December 11th from 6-8pm to discuss Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid filler that lasts about a year. Juvederm is a crystal-clear biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts using a very fine needle. The results can be seen immediately. Juvederm creates a long-lasting, natural look that is gentle and safe on your skin.
Also, don't miss our December specials listed on the left. The holidays are a busy time, but don't forget to take time for yourself!
