Botox and Dysport

Botox and Dysport injections are the most popular cosmetic procedures available. They last about four to six months. Both preventative and corrective, they relax fine lines and can help to prevent wrinkles from forming. Dr. Barker has a gentle hand and will make sure that you look natural and not frozen.

Who is a good candidate for Botox and Dysport?
Good candidates for treatment of wrinkles with an injection should understand the goals of the procedure and how these injections improve specific areas. Dr. Barker will discuss with you the benefits of these injections and the limitations that they have.

How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is performed in the office and takes about 15 minutes. Usually there is little to no pain. The effects occur over a few days and last for about 4-6 months.

Juvederm, Radiesse, Perlane and Restylane

Fillers help to reverse the signs of aging by restoring volume. Each category of fillers has its own benefits, which Dr. Barker can discuss with you during your initial consultation. Some like Juvaderm and Restylane are among a new generation of fillers made from Hyaluronic Acid (the main chemical component of skin), used to treat facial wrinkles and also to add volume to the lips.

Who is a good candidate for Fillers?
Good candidates have fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth or under the eyes. These fillers can smooth out the wrinkles and add volume to the face. It may also be beneficial in younger patients, as these can be used to add volume to the face in strategic locations to augment your cheek bones or chin.

How is the procedure performed?
Dr. Barker will help you decide which fillers are the best for you after a consultation. We perform the procedure in our office and it takes about 15 minutes. The material is injected under the skin to fill in wrinkles and add volume to the face. Usually there is little to no pain during the injection. They can be injected over the cheek bones, around the mouth, and lips.
