From wrinkle fillers to hair removal, here are the top five non-surgical treatments*:
- BOTOX®—Reduces facial lines and wrinkles, and is a safe and effective way to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles with minimal side effects.
- Hyalauronic acids—Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm are non-animal based hyaluronic dermal fillers which provide patients with restored skin volume and fullness while correcting moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
- Chemical Peels—Restores a more youthful appearance to wrinkled, unevenly pigmented, sun-damaged, and blotchy skin.
- Laser Hair Removal—The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to travel down the hair shaft to the end of the hair follicle. This process will eliminate or greatly impede hair growth.
- Microdermabrasion—By exfoliating dead skin cells, microdermabrasion creates smoother, healthier skin in about 30 minutes.

Pro-actively treating your skin to avoid wrinkles is your best bet. Besides limiting sun exposure and wearing sunscreen, retinol creams and glycolic acid can help keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Clinical treatments, like BOTOX®, Restylane®, Juvederm® and other dermal fillers may actually help prevent deeper lines from forming. Remember, it’s never too early to start taking care of your skin!

Have you heard about the new alternative to BOTOX®? Made from the same active ingredient as BOTOX, Dysport® is now available from LaFerriere and Kienstra Facial Plastic surgery. Like BOTOX, Dysport works by freezing the muscles used when you frown. This new wrinkle treatment is made from the same protein as BOTOX but results are reported to last longer. Because the Dysport treatment spreads further than BOTOX, it is useful for treating larger areas and requires fewer injections. For more information about Dysport or to schedule your consultation, call us at 417-887-FACE.

Q: I have very large, dark bags under my eyes. What kinds of treatments are available to make my eyes look better?
A: There are a number of different options available for reducing dark bags under your eyes. BOTOX can help smooth some bags under your eyes, and for more persistent bags, blepharoplasty can smooth and tighten eyes so they look younger and more refreshed. Dr. Keith LaFerriere or Dr. Matthew Kienstra can help you determine which treatment is right for you.
