If you find yourself constantly looking at those annoying lines on your face, this one might be for you!

Botulinum toxin, often referred to as ‘Botox™’, is a neurotoxin that is widely used to soften wrinkles and fine lines by softening muscle movement. It was FDA approved in 2002 and is most commonly used to treat the lines on the forehead, glabella, and outer eyes.

In addition to softening muscle movements, it can also be used to treat TMJ and excessive sweating in the armpits and hands. 

There are 4 different types of botulinum toxins currently on the market. At Idriss Dermatology, Dr. Shereene Idriss tailors the toxin and dosage based on the patient’s individual needs:

• Botox™
• Xeomin™
• Dysport™
• Jeuveau™

“Nobody deserves to sag… or sink” is a motto Dr. Shereene Idriss lives by. Both are horrible words and even more horrible concepts. To new patients, dermal fillers can sound absolutely terrifying. If the fear of huge cheeks and overblown lips scares you, be rest assured that they scare us too and you have landed in the right place.

Dr. Shereene Idriss does not use dermal fillers to “fill” your face. Restoring your facial structure by lifting the proportions of your face is what it’s all about.

Like an artist utilizes various paint brushes to paint, at Idriss Dermatology, we use a combination of non-permanent dermal fillers tailored to your unique needs:

• Restylane-L™
• Restylane Refyne™
• Restylane Defyne™
• Restylane Lyft™ 
• Restylane Kysse™ 

• Juvederm Ultra™
• Juvederm Ultra Plus™
• Juvederm Voluma™
• Juvederm Volbella™
• Juvederm Vollure™ 

• Belotero™

When evaluating a face and a person, it’s always a 360° approach. From acne scars to hair loss, no matter your stage of life, Idriss Dermatology offers you a solution to help address your concerns. 

Platelet Rich Plasma (aka PRP)

• Derived from your own blood, PRP is nature’s way of helping you out.
• Loaded with growth factors, PRP has the potential to enhance your body’s own ability to heal injuries, stimulate your own collagen produdction, smooth out scars and stimulate hair growth.

Sculptra™

• For the right candidate, Sculptra™ is a game changer.
• Collagen is the foundation off of which our skin is built. It forms the scaffold to provide our skin the strength and support it needs.
• Starting in our twenties, our skin sadly begins to lose ~1% of its collagen every year, leading to formation of skin hallowing, laxity, and wrinkles.  
• Sculptra™ is a stimulatory filler that helps boost your body to create its own collagen. Made from Poly-L-Lactic acid, it has been used by doctors for decades. In fact, Sculptra™ was initially FDA-approved as a medical treatment to help restore volume in patients with HIV-associated fat loss in the face.  

Radiesse™

• Composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite, Radiesse™ is a filler that can restore volume and redefine facial contours while promoting new collagen production. 
• Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that dilute amounts of Radiesse™ can play a crucial role in the biological function of your skin by boosting new collagen and elastin production.
• Radiesse can be used in the face, as well as other parts of the body, including the neck, arms, chest, hands, knees, and buttocks, to improve skin volume and laxity.
•  

Sclerotherapy: an easy and effective treatment that can reduce the appearance of superficial leg veins over two to five treatments.

Asclera® is an effective FDA-approved treatment using polidocanol to treat unwanted veins on the lower extremities.

Surgical sutures, aka “threads,” are a great adjunct to fillers and toxins. A facial thread lift can be performed to non-invasively lift and tighten your skin.

The tightening threads are made of Polydioxanone (PDO) or Poly-L-Lactic (PLA) and are approved by the FDA , a highly safe material used in surgeries. ⁣ 

• Novathreads™
• Silhouette Instalift™ 

Kybella™ is an FDA approved injectable used to treat small pockets of unwanted fat. Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring enzyme produced by our liver to digest fat. Kybella is most widely used to treat double chins to achieve a sharper jawline. 

QWO (collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes) is the first FDA approved non-surgical treatment clinically proven to reduce moderate to severe cellulite. Studies have shown that a series of 3 treatments 3-4 weeks apart were effective and patients may see visible results as early as 10 weeks.
