Botox® at Efface Med Center
Botox® Cosmetic
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes dynamic lines and wrinkles.
Only BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better in adults.

PDO Threadlift at Efface Med Center
PDO Threadlift
Thread Lift is one the most effective ways to lift the loose skin without surgery. As we age, the effects of hormone changes, bone reabsorption, and effects of gravity become more noticeable on our faces, especially as our facial support structure weakens and we lose facial fat. The areas that are generally affected are the eyebrows, areas around the eyes, the cheeks, the jowls and the neck. The result is a more fallen, saggy and square-shaped tired face. As the threads metabolize they leave behind a network of your own collagen providing a secondary lift in 4-6 months.
By strategically placing the threads in the correct vectors it gives a beautiful lift and refreshes the face. The goal is to make you look refreshed, well rested, and most importantly a youthful YOU. This is one of my most favorite treatments I do for my patients.
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments (PRP)
PRP Treatment Overview
The basic PRP treatment has been used for almost 20 years to accelerate the healing of wounds and burnt skin, and help athletes. But it was when Dr. Charles Runels from Alabama trademarked the name "Vampire Facelift" in 2010
Vampire® (PRP) Facelift
Latest non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure which combines powerful growth factors from platelet rich plasmas (PRP) therapy and facial fillers to effectively address volume loss, improve skin tone and texture while promoting collagen re-growth. A medical provider will draw your blood and use a special centrifuge to separate PRP and RBCs (Red Blood Cells), then extract the PRP and inject into the areas of volume loss. One of the (HA) hyaluronic acid fillers mentioned above will be also utilized if necessary to achieve the desired long lasting, youthful effect.
Vampire® (PRP) Facial
A cosmetic procedure during which a medical provider draws a couple vials of blood from your arm, centrifuges the blood to separate out the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells. The procedure is very comfortable and painless and a topical numbing cream is applied for 30-45mins prior to the procedure. Using a medical grade micro-needling pen, micro-channel care creating all over the face and the PRP is used as the base and reapplied on the face thus penetrating deep into the skin to rejuvenate, lessen hyperpigmentation, tighten, and tone the skin.
O’Shot®
a new, noninvasive treatment that aims to alleviate female sexual dysfunction by extracting PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, from a woman's own blood and injecting it directly into the vaginal area. It is typically a mild to painless procedure with little to no down time from your normal activity.
O’Shot® also helps with urinary incontinence. As the pelvic floor muscles relax, typically as we age and/or after child birth, women start to experience urinary incontinence with coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising. O’Shot® can help reduce or completely reverse this problem. Your provider will be able to recommend a plan for you at your initial consultation.
Ideal candidates for the O’Shot® procedure are women who seek:
· Stronger/better Orgasms
· Increased Sexual Desire
· Increased Natural Lubrication
· Decreased Urinary Incontinence
Kybella
Kybella under the Chin
Kybella™ is the first injectable, non-surgical treatment approved by the FDA to treat fat under the chin. Fat in the “double chin” area tends to be resistant to diet and exercise, and it can make even thin, fit people appear to be heavy. Prior to Kybella, surgery was the only treatment option to address this issue.
Kybella is made from Deoxycholic Acid, a naturally occurring substance that the body employs to absorb unwanted fat cells. Kybella destroys the fat cells and as the cells are dissolved, they are absorbed and eliminated by the body, leaving a sculpted, contoured chin.
