These injectable gels are made of hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Easing the gel under the skin restores the skin’s volume and smooths away facial wrinkles and folds.
BOTOX and Dysport are non-surgical aesthetic treatments designed to reduce contractions of the muscles that cause frown lines between the eyes.
Platelet Rich Plasma Injections
MDC also offers platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections. These injections use the patient’s own growth factors to support growing hair follicles. Treatments are typically performed once every month for the first three months, and then twice yearly for maintenance. The procedure is minimally painful and takes only a few minutes after preparation of the serum. PRP injections have been shown to have good efficacy in patients who are looking to regrow or maintain hair growth, particularly in combination with other prescription therapies. Our clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple types of hair loss, some of which may be treated with these injections.
This advanced device utilizes fractional ablation to remove skin and encourage remodeling of collagen at various levels. Our trained physicians can specifically tailor the device to achieve your specific goals for skin rejuvenation. UltraClear offers settings which more gently and superficially remove the effects of aging skin and sun damage, without topical numbing, and with minimal downtime. The laser also has deeper settings for patients who wish to have more significant skin rejuvenation, new collagen stimulation, reduction of acne and other scars, and visible lift. These treatments require topical numbing and have longer associated downtime for healing. In either case, UltraClear laser treatments typically only require 15-30 minutes to complete, with healing times between 1-10 days. For more information and before and after photos, see the UltraClear device website.
