Fighting the aging process is not easy.
“Father Time” is a thief, stealing our youth and leaving us exhausted and disheveled. It happens to everyone. It is such a gradual change that you do not notice it right away. One day, you look in the mirror, and you are not the same. Your cheeks have lost their volume, your mouth is stuck in a frown and there are wrinkles everywhere. If you are the average person who does not live in the mirror, you may not even notice these changes.
Unfortunately, our outward appearance is not the only victim of “Father Time.” Our internal systems take on a large amount of the impact, as well. Luckily, there are scientists and doctors around the world who have dedicated their lives to helping us in the race, giving us defenses against aging so that we will have a fighting chance to age gracefully. The art of using natural therapies and herbs to treat a wide range of symptoms has been around since the dawn of time. Yet, when deciding how to treat our age-provoked symptoms, many people overlook taking herbal extracts, or “natural medicines”, as an option.
The Longevity Center can be your safe haven. Our main goal is to enhance the quality of life and encourage you toward achieving excellent health and your ideal self-image through bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), herbs, natural therapies and detoxification, as well as through the latest advances in medical aesthetics.
Medical Aesthetics is a term used to describe the skills and techniques used to improve the art and symmetry of the face. The medical aesthetics that we offer here are some of our most significant tools in making these goals a reality for you. I use Botox®, Dysport®, and various dermal fillers as my “sculpting tools” to restore a desired youthful look.
Botox® and Dysport® (botulinumtoxinA) are a natural, purified protein that relaxes muscles by blocking nerve impulses. With a few tiny injections, Botox relaxes the muscles between your eyebrows and outside your eyes that cause your skin to “crease”, creating “frown lines” and “crows feet”, respectively. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother, creating a more natural and relaxed appearance. A typical misconception is that your face will become frozen. and expressionless. Placed strategically, you will not lose your expression. In fact, the only expression you will lose is the unintentional frown caused by the overactive muscles. Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved for cosmetic uses in the glabellar frown lines and can also be used for other parts of the face and body.

Most dermal fillers utilize hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the body that gradually diminishes, which results in volume loss to the skin, thus causing folds and wrinkles. Juvederm, Juvederm XC, Restylane, and Perlane all use hyaluronic acid. Another filler, Radiesse, is comprised of calcium-based hydroxy-apatite microspheres, which immediately replenishes lost volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen. These fillers are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

There is no promise of a fountain of youth, but together we can develop a program and partnership that may help you toward the goal of good health and vitality.
As I always say…
“Only an artist can make science so beautiful.”
