Botox
Botox is used to diminish lines caused by muscles of facial expression.  Patients request Botox to have a more relaxed, refreshed, younger appearance.  Botox is a quick and minimally invasive procedure consisting of a few tiny Botox injections for relaxing lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles.  For a testimonial, see below.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are injections utilized to replace volume loss or lines.  Fillers can fill-in the gaps from volume loss and those stubborn lines.  We currently provide Restylane and Radiasse derman fillers.

Restylane
Restylane aids in obtaining  more youthful contours and fullness to facial areas.  It is commonly used to restore volume to lips and in the lines from your nose to the corners of the mouth.  Resylane is made from natural hyaluronic acid.  In most patients, results can last approximately 6 months.

Radiasse
Radiasse can address many facial and aesthetic and corrective needs.  Because results are natural looking and last longer, many patients turn to Radiasse to achieve a correction that revives and freshens their appearance.  Radiasse dermal filler typically lasts a year or more, saving time and money.  Radiasse is made of unique calcium-based micorospheres that are suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.

How does Radiasse work?  As Radiasse is injected, the gel and Radiasse Microspheres form a “scaffold,” stimulating collagen production and encouraging tissue growth in and around the injection area.  This creates a natural look comprised of your own tissue and Radiasse Microspheres.  Over time your body absorbs the gel carrier while collagen has started to grow and infiltrate the area, replacing gel with your own natural tissue.
 

Botox testimonial:

I am a very active, early 50s (who said that??) woman who wanted to look as young as I felt.  I researched many options to eliminate lines and wrinkles under my eyes but was not comfortable with anesthesia or peels that took weeks of recovery time – not to mention the expense!  One day while at Wattles Park Family Practice, I noticed a brochure on Botox.  I had always been apprehensive about Botox, but had not really done any personal research.  After spending some time online, I made an appointment with Dr. DeLaTorre.  During my appointment he answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns I had.  Later that week I went for my first Botox treatment were I received three small injections under each eye.   That was it!  After about one week I started to notice that my lines were disappearing.  After two weeks the effects were amazing.  And no, my smile had not changed nor had my facial expressions.  I cannot tell you the personal satisfaction I have and the compliments I receive.  I am very pleased with Botox –it gives me the results I am looking for at a very affordable price without anesthesia and/or recovery time.   -Battle Creek patient-

This photo was take before a Botox treatment.  Notice the fine lines and wrinkles on the side of the face and under the eyes. Boxtox can provide excellent results for these common issues.
Three quick injections under each eye and the treatment is complete. Very simple instructions are given and  within approximately one week noticeable results are seen.
This photo was taken approximately two weeks after the initial Botox treatment. Fine lines and wrinkles have disappeared.
