Patients can decrease the frequency of Botox© Cosmetic injections after approximately two years and still receive most of the same wrinkle-smoothing cosmetic benefits.
After two years of treatment at recommended intervals, patients can potentially cut the frequency, and thus the cost, of their Botox© treatments by half.

Platelet rich plastma is one of the latest technologies in achieving rapid healing and excellent results.Platelet-rich plasma essentially consists of drawing blood from one’s arm, spinning it in a centrifuge to spin out all the platelets and healing parts of the blood, concentrating them several hundred times what they are normally found in the blood and then injecting it into any areas during facial plastic surgery.
