Cosmetic Dermatologist San Antonio
Services
We are always looking for ways to better serve our patients. With recommendations from our professional staff, we focus on what you want rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our primary focus is to get the results you are looking for and enhance your natural beauty.
Botox
Botox® is a simple, nonsurgical treatment injected directly into the muscles, blocking nerve impulses. This reduces muscle activity, improving the look of fine lines, and wrinkles on the face. Botox is FDA approved and has been used for many years. Botox provides noticeable yet natural results for a variety of cosmetic concerns.
What to expect: Treatments are done by injection, in the office, and take just a few minutes. The needle used is very small, so pain is usually minimal. Most patients do not require downtime and can resume their daily activities immediately. You should see a noticeable improvement in the treated frown lines and furrows within a few days, and the appearance of wrinkles should continue to improve up to a month. The results can last 3-5 months – this means you will need touch ups a few times a year to maintain your refreshed look.
It is important to consult with a properly trained, experienced and Board-Certified Dermatologist in order to achieve optimal results. Our Dermatologists have years of experience and are happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding choice of Botox and whether Botox is appropriate for you.
Dysport
Dysport temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity.
Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions.7 One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.
In other words: natural-looking results that look and feel like you.
What to expect: You’ve got better things to do than think about what your frown lines look like. The majority of users see improvement in just 2-3 days after treatment. In just one 10- to 20-minute treatment, Dysport may help improve the look of your frown lines between the eybrows for up to 5 months.2-4 Results of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first use. Another plus? There is minimal downtime after your treatment, which means you can get back to your day faster.

Kybella
Kybella is an injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under and around the chin to improve your profile.
What to expect: Your Dermatologist will examine the area to help determine how many injections are needed depending on the amount of fat under the chin and your desired profile. Treatment plans are customized and may include up to six visits spaced approximately one month apart. During each treatment, patients receive multiple small injections and the process typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Patients typically experience visible results after two to four treatments. The results are permanent and re-treatment is not required for maintenance.
Schedule an appointment to determine if you are a candidate for Kybella.

Jeuveau
Jeuveau® stops your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex, temporarily smoothing moderate to severe lines between the brows.
What to expect: In a study conducted in Europe and Canada, 38% of patients had a >1-grade improvement in frown lines at 5 months based on physician assessment compared to 8% for placebo (secondary endpoint). In US studies, almost 5% of patients had a >2-grade improvement in frown lines at 5 months based on both patient and physician assessments compared to 0% for placebo (secondary endpoint). Results based on a 1-grade improvement may not be considered clinically meaningful.
Removal of Moles, Skin Tags & Age Spots
Some moles, age spots, bumps, or skin tags can be cosmetically undesirable to a patient. Unfortunately, growths on the skin don’t always appear in areas we want them!
What to expect: A Dermatologist has many tools to treat spots on the skin that patients may want removed. If you are bothered by a particular spot, we are happy to discuss cosmetic removal with you. We will also explain whether or not a removal would be considered cosmetic by your insurance company, and what the cost to you would be. It is important to consult with a properly trained, experienced and Board-Certified Dermatologist in order to achieve optimal results. Our Dermatologists have years of experience and are happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers of today are a brilliant group of injectables that rejuvenate and enhance your look by softening lines, replacing volume loss from aging and contouring the natural lines of the face. As we age, we lose bone and fat in the face. Bone and fat are what support the skin in the face, and when they are lost, skin begins to sag and crease. While products and procedures aimed to improve texture, color, and tone of skin can help, a comprehensive anti-aging treatment plan involves addressing this lack of support underneath the skin. Fillers help to recreate the natural, youthful structure underneath the skin.
What to expect: Treatments are done by injection, in the office, and take just a few minutes. Many fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing medicine, so patients report a low level of tolerable pain during the procedure. Some patients will require several treatments over the course of weeks or months to achieve their desired look followed by occasional touch-ups.
There are many dermal fillers on the market, each of them providing different results. It is important to consult with a properly trained, experienced and Board-Certified Dermatologist in order to achieve optimal results. Our Dermatologists have years of experience and are happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding choice of filler and whether filler is appropriate for you
