Facial Fillers and Cosmetic Injectables
Dysport and Botox
Dysport or BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple and non-surgical physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Take a look at men and women who’ve had Dysport or BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments and see for yourself! One 10-minute treatment, a few tiny injections, and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
Dysport or BOTOX® Cosmetic are a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
A million people have been treated with FDA-approved Dysport or BOTOX® Cosmetic. Talk to Dr. Gunn to see if Dysport or BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.

Juvéderm Voluma XC
Juvéderm Voluma is the only FDA-approved cosmetic injectable gel that can restore lost cheek volume due to aging. Wrinkles aren’t the only tell-tale sign of aging skin. In addition to fine lines and wrinkles, aging also causes a decrease in collagen production that can make skin sag. Dr. Gunn injects Juvéderm Voluma into the cheek area to add volume and lift and contour previously sagging skin.
This non-surgical procedure takes about 15 minutes to perform. Juvéderm Voluma contains lidocaine, which helps reduce pain and discomfort. Cosmetic injections have few side effects, including some minor swelling and redness. Best of all, your results can last up to two years! Contact us to learn more today.
Kybella™ to Reduce Double Chin
Kybella™ is the first and only approved injectable drug for contouring moderate to severe submental fullness, a condition that is commonly referred to as a double chin. Kybella™ is a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, Kybella™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
Kybella™ (deoxycholic acid) injection is indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults.
Restylane: Treat Wrinkles and Add Volume
Restylane options include Restylane®, Restylane-L®, Perlane®, and Perlane-L®. These hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin. Restylane and Restylane-L are some of the best cosmetic fillers used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years of age.

These products should not be used by people with bleeding disorders. Products should not be injected anywhere except the skin, just under the skin (Perlane and Perlane-L only), or in the lips (Restylane and Restylane-L only).
