As you age, your face develops creases and wrinkles. Botox® is a safe and inexpensive, non-surgical way to remove some of the effects of aging off your face, making you look years younger. Its 20 year track record has given it a well established reputation as a wonderful alternative to a facelift. Dr. Cha and Dr. Durham administer both Botox® and dermal fillers. Dr. Cha is even a dermal filler instructor. Either doctor will give you great results.

Both Restylane and Juvederm are tradenames for dermal fillers, and you can get both with either Dr. Cha or Dr. Durham. Dr. Cha even teaches a Restylane class. Done by injection, these fillers place hyaluronic acid subdermally. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all animals. It works because it attracts water and holds water under your skin surface, filling in the wrinkles. The results look and feel soft and natural. The results are long lasting. Most patients keep their smoother skin surface for about eight months to a year.
