BOTOX® Cosmetic
 BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth lines and wrinkles. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® injections relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles to give the face a rejuvenated look.
 Indications for BOTOX® include:
- Frown Lines
- Crow's Feet
- Forehead Furrows
- Want to:
- Raise The Eyebrows
- Turn Up Corners of The Mouth
- Perioral Lines
- Neck Bands
- Excessive Sweating (Hyperhydrosis)

Dysport™
 Dysport is an FDA-approved injection treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles in the forehead. Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport is injected directly into the site of wrinkles to prevent the underlying muscles from contracting. Dysport injections are made from the bacterium Clostridum botulinum, the same protein used in Botox injections.
Dysport was developed in Europe during the early 1990s, and has been used there successfully for several years. In April 2009, Dysport was approved by the FDA for use in the US, and is expected to rival Botox, the most popular cosmetic procedure, with its convenience and long-lasting results.

Facial Fillers
 Aging and sun exposure diminishes the volume and elasticity in our faces. Facial fillers replenish the skin's collagen support structure, smooth lines and fill indentations, producing a fresher, more youthful look. Many facial fillers are made of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are part of the natural support structure of the skin.
Indications for fillers include:
- Glabellar Lines (Between the Eyebrows)
- Nasolabial Folds (From the Root of the Nose to the Angle of Your Mouth)
- Dark Circles and Hollows Beneath the Eyes
- Thinning Lips & Lip Lines
- Contouring Sunken Cheeks and Chins
- Restoring a Youthful Oval Shape to the Face
The latest tissue fillers include: Restylane®, Juvederm™, Perlane, Radiesse® and Sculptra™, Depending on the types of wrinkles or scars, we can discuss the best filler options for you.

 Evolence® - Evolence is an advanced collagen-based dermal filler that provides long-lasting correction of moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds. It is especially effective for nasolabial folds (wrinkles from the nose to the corners of your mouth). Scientifically engineered to mimic the properties of natural collagen in skin, Evolence is a breakthrough in aging treatment. Injected just below the skin’s surface, Evolence replaces facial collagen, which naturally depletes with age, and smoothes out wrinkles and folds. Evolence uses innovative Glymatrix technology that increases the stability and longevity of the filler. The results of Evolence are immediate and produce a natural enhancement with little to no swelling or bruising. Any swelling you may experience right after the procedure should resolve after a few hours. Considerable results can generally be obtained after only one treatment.

 Sculptra™ - Sculptra™ is a new injectable product used to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks and indentations. Its main component is polylactic acid, which has been used for 20 years in surgical products such as dissolvable sutures. There is no need for allergy testing. It takes several treatments to get the optimal result. Clinical trials have shown that the benefits of Sculptra treatments can last up to two years.

 Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the standard treatment for varicose and spider veins. A special sclerosing solution is injected into the dilated vein, which then collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body. By the end of the treatment program, the veins are less visible on the skin surface. This treatment requires 2-4 visits to provide optimal results. Sclerotherapy usually also relieves symptoms associated with enlarged veins and prevents further complications.

Thermage™ Skin Tightening
 Thermage™ is a quick, easy and non-invasive alternative to a face lift. Using painless radiofrequency energy, Thermage "lifts" and tightens loose and sagging skin to restore youthful vigor to patients' faces. It achieves its most dramatic results in improving neck contours and raising sagging cheeks. The Thermage device stimulates collagen production and temporarily reduces wrinkles while keeping the skin surface cool and comfortable. There is no incision or recovery time. Results last at least two years.

 Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate the damaged outer layers of skin on the face to reveal the healthy, glowing skin beneath. They smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths. Dr. Laub tailors peel formulas and strengths to each patient for optimal results.
