In addition to practicing weight loss for over 20 years, Dr. Valdes has been doing aesthetic procedures to help restore his patients youthful appearance. The most common in office procedures are Botox and Dermafillers.
What We Offers
Dermafillers
Hyaluronic acid. These fillers are injected beneath the skin to help fill in areas that have lost volume over time and created deep lines in the face. The most common area treated is the fold (line that forms) between the lower edge of the nose to the angle of the mouth. However, fillers are used the lift the cheeks, increase the volume of the lips and fill the deficits that form at the edge of the mouth. The average dermafiller effect can last about 10 - 12 months, although the effects vary from person to person.
Botox
Botox is a chemical that blocks nerve signals from reaching the muscle and stopping the muscle from contracting. This effect leads to muscle relaxation below the skin that in turn leads to softening of facial wrinkles. The most common areas treated are the forehead and crow's feet (lines found in the outer edge of the eyes), although it can be used in many other problem areas. The effect of softening existing wrinkle lines on average last approximately 3 months (although effect varies among patients).
