Artistry in Every Injection

Botox works by temporarily relaxing the specific muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip too high, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and balanced smile. During the procedure, our skilled specialists administer precise injections of botulinum toxin into the targeted muscles involved in the gummy smile. This effectively inhibits the muscles’ contraction and reduces the elevation of the upper lip, leading to a more harmonious appearance between the gums and teeth when smiling.

While the effects are temporary, typically lasting about three to four months, Metropolis excels in this treatment due to our practitioner’s extensive knowledge of facial aesthetics, personalized treatment plans, and commitment to patient safety. We use high-quality botulinum toxin products and maintain strict sterile protocols to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for our patients. Our goal is to enhance their smiles while maintaining facial harmony and confidence.

In summary, Botox is an effective solution for correcting gummy smiles by temporarily relaxing specific muscles.

This condition can significantly impact a person’s life, causing discomfort and social embarrassment. Botox injections work by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that stimulates sweat glands. These injections are typically administered in areas like the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet.

As a result, our face and hands begin to show the signs of early aging with fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Fortunately, the dermal filler Radiesse makes it possible to safely and effectively stimulate collagen production while at the same time restoring your skin’s natural, youthful appearance. FDA-approved Radiesse is an injectable filler that was specifically designed to help stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, while at the same time, calcium-based microspheres in the gel provide patients with immediate volume and lift in treated areas. With a single Radiesse treatment, wrinkles are softened and lines or creases are filled in, restoring both plumpness and elasticity.

Radiant Results

Radiesse is a powerhouse cosmetic treatment that can smooth out deep wrinkles and lines around the nose and mouth as well as add contours to areas of the face that have lost their shape due to the aging process. Radiesse doesn’t just contour like other dermal fillers; it stimulates the growth of new collagen, restoring a smooth texture and youthful elasticity. This combination of filler and collagen production makes Radiesse a perfect choice to smooth out and re-contour your face for a more youthful look.

As one of the most versatile dermal fillers on the market today, Radiesse can be used for a variety of cosmetic goals for the face or hands, including:

• Nasolabial folds (creases around the nose and mouth)
• Marionette lines (wrinkles that run down from the corners of the mouth)
• Loose and sagging skin along the jaw or pre-jowl folds
• Wrinkles on or along the chin
• Sagging, hollow cheeks
• Loose skin and wrinkles on the hands

Radiesse has become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments because of its wide range of benefits. Some of these benefits include:

• Immediate results
• Treatment is quick and minimally invasive
• Long-lasting results
• Promotes the body’s own collagen production
• Natural-looking results
• Maintains volume

TMJ is a condition characterized by pain, discomfort, and dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. Botulinum toxin injections, commonly known as Botox, can help alleviate the symptoms of TMJ by relaxing the muscles involved in jaw movement and reducing excessive muscle contractions.

During the procedure, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected directly into the affected jaw muscles, such as the masseter and temporalis muscles. The toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions, leading to muscle relaxation. By reducing the activity of these muscles, botulinum toxin injections can alleviate jaw tension, pain, and muscle spasms associated with TMJ. The effects of the injections typically last for several months before requiring retreatment.

Rather than filling lines or folds directly like traditional hyaluronic acid injectable fillers, Sculptra rebuilds the skin’s internal structure by stimulating your body’s own collagen synthesis to prompt a significant boost in collagen production for cumulative increases that continue months.

Facial areas and aesthetic concerns commonly treated with Sculptra include:

• Cheeks – to restore midface volume lost due to aging or weight loss
• Temples – to fill in hollowing that can make the face appear sunken or tired
• Jawline – to enhance definition and improve facial contour
• Chin – for subtle projection and balance in profile
• Nasolabial folds – to soften smile lines running from the nose to the mouth
• Marionette lines – to reduce the appearance of lines extending from the mouth to the chin
• Improved Symmetry – to balance out the appearance of asymmetry due to fat loss or collagen depletion
• Lower face – to create a smoother, firmer look as collagen rebuilds

Most patients achieve an optimal volume restoration and diminished signs of aging with a series of three to four sessions of Sculptra injections spaced four to six weeks apart.

The fillers used in lip augmentation are typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides hydration, plumpness, and elasticity to the skin. Lip fillers can address a variety of concerns, such as thin or uneven lips, loss of volume due to aging, or simply to achieve a more desired lip shape.

Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which involves surgical intervention, liquid rhinoplasty offers a non-surgical alternative for those seeking minor adjustments to the shape, symmetry, or contours of their nose. The procedure utilizes dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, to add volume, correct asymmetry, smooth out bumps or depressions, and improve overall nasal aesthetics.

During the procedure, a skilled practitioner carefully injects the dermal fillers into specific areas of the nose, targeting areas that require correction or enhancement. The fillers are strategically placed to achieve the desired result, whether it’s to straighten a crooked nose, lift a droopy tip, or create more balance and symmetry. Liquid rhinoplasty can also be used to address minor imperfections following a previous surgical rhinoplasty, providing refinements and touch-ups without the need for additional surgery. The results of liquid rhinoplasty are immediate and can last several months to over a year, depending on the specific fillers used and individual factors.

Over time, natural aging leads to volume loss, thinning skin, and the development of folds. Fillers help replenish that lost structure, offering subtle, long-lasting improvements.

Patients choose facial fillers for their versatility, immediacy, and ability to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Key benefits include:

• Non-surgical and minimally invasive
• Immediate improvement in facial volume and definition
• Customizable to your facial anatomy and goals
• Minimal recovery with low risk of side effects
• Effective in treating both early and advanced signs of aging
• Long-lasting results with maintenance as needed

PRF is an organic approach that enhances your skin and helps to reverse the visible signs of aging at the cellular level, leaving you looking radiant, fresh, and youthful.

PRP and PRF both contain powerful growth factors found within your own blood. PRP and PRF are abundant in white blood cells, platelets, and fibrin, which are responsible for the growth of new collagen and elastin, and ultimately new skin cells and youthful volume. PRF is the more advanced version of PRP, as it contains a higher quantity of the vital factors that rejuvenate your skin. Both treatments can be used to reduce fine lines, enhance skin radiance and texture, and minimize dark spots and other signs of age:

• Under-eye hollows and shadows
• Nasolabial folds
• Cheek and smile lines
• Lip thinning and wrinkles
• Chin lines
• And more.
