At The Pearl Dermatology our board certified dermatologists use fillers to help enhance and improve your natural features for a rejuvenated and rested appearance. Fillers, Botox, and Dysport are skillfully injected into both the face and body resulting in a softer, smoother more lifted look. Our goal is for you to continue to look like yourself, but simply a more refreshed version. What sets us apart is our doctor’s advanced injection techniques and training. We strive to provide a comfortable experience for our patients in a relaxed environment so that they may be confident in their decision.
Neuromodulators (Botox & Dysport)
Botox and Dysport are the two most common neuromodulators made from a purified protein called botulinum toxin. Neuromodulators are some of the most studied drugs in the world and have been used cosmetically for the past 15 years with an extremely high safety profile. Botox and Dysport are injected into muscles in order to temporarily relax them and soften the wrinkles that are caused by the muscle’s movement. The most common area injected is between the eyebrows, aka the glabella, which is responsible for creating frown lines. Forehead lines and crow’s lines around the eyes are the second most common areas injected. At The Pearl Dermatology our highly trained physicians use advanced injection techniques to inject other areas on the face and neck to achieve beautiful and refreshed results. Injecting these neuromodulators requires skill and experience as unwanted results can give away your secret! Many patients fear the “Botox look”, which is why having a skilled injector is so important.
Fillers
HA FILLERS
Most fillers are made from a natural sugar complex already found in our skin called hyaluronic acid (HA). There a variety of FDA cleared injectable fillers, each with their own unique characteristics and capabilities. These fillers include Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Voluma, Restylane, Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne. These fillers are used to lessen the appearance of fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and skin folds. We also use fillers to improve areas of volume loss such as the cheeks, lips, and under eyes. Our experienced physicians will tailor a plan, selecting the filler that is specific for you and your needs. Our doctors are experienced in injecting a combination of these products to achieve a natural look, always striving to avoid the “over done” look.
SCULPTRA
Sculptra Aesthetic is a collagen stimulating filler used to re-establish volume and structure in the face. This filler is composed of the same material found in many absorbable sutures and breaks down over time to water and carbon dioxide. The PLLA in Sculptra Aesthetic is comprised of tiny particles, which are suspended in sterile water to create a solution. Your doctor will inject Sculptra Aesthetic into the skin in a series of 3 to 4 treatments, each spaced a month apart. Gradually over the next few months, new collagen is created, improving the quality, structure, and lost volume. Our board certified dermatologists also inject Sculptra Aesthetic, in a so called “off-labeled” manner, on the décolletage, arms, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks to improve skin quality, crepiness, and wrinkles. The result is a beautiful restoration of volume that lasts up to two years and beyond.
Kybella
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) injection is a FDA cleared, non-surgical treatment for submental fat, also called “double chin” in adults. Kybella is injected in a series of treatments every 1- 3 months and works by permanently dissolving unwanted fat. Over time, the fat is broken down and the contours under the chin are improved. We also use Kybella to treat small unwanted fat deposits on areas of the body, such as above the bra area. Finally, small irregularities caused by liposuction can be improved by Kybella too.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is an injection treatment used to improve the appearance of unsightly leg veins. This procedure can be used for small spider veins, larger blue/green reticular veins, or bulging varicose veins. At The Pearl Dermatology we use Asclera (polidocanol), a sclerosing agent that is turned into a foam and then injected into reticular veins to treat the root of the problem. Often the larger veins are the cause of spider vein formation. In order to get the best result from sclerotherapy, most patients require a series of treatments with anywhere from three to six treatments.
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) For Hair Loss
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced, natural treatment used to stimulate hair growth and is often considered the second generation of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). PRF uses the healing components found in your own blood to support hair restoration. When PRF is injected directly into areas of the scalp affected by hair loss, the concentrated growth factors act on the hair follicles, helping stimulate stem cells, improve blood supply, and deliver nutrients that strengthen the follicle and encourage healthier hair growth. The procedure begins with a simple blood draw performed in our office during your appointment. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins at a slow rate to separate its components. The red blood cells settle at the bottom while the fibrin layer—rich in platelets and growth factors—remains at the top. The portion of fibrin richest in platelets is then drawn into a syringe and injected into the scalp. The injections themselves take only a few minutes to complete. Unlike PRP, which releases growth factors for only about 8–10 hours after injection, PRF forms a natural fibrin matrix that slowly releases growth factors for approximately 7–10 days, allowing for longer stimulation of the hair follicles. Treatments are typically performed once a month for three months, followed by maintenance treatments every six months. As with all hair loss treatments, ongoing maintenance is necessary to maintain results. If treatments are discontinued, hair will gradually return to its previous thickness. Your dermatologist may also recommend combining PRF with other therapies such as hair growth vitamins, topical treatments, or medications like finasteride (Propecia), as a comprehensive approach often leads to the best outcomes.
