More Youthful Looking Skin Dr. William E. Fox, a physician practicing in Charlottesville, VA, offers a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic techniques designed to provide you with a more youthful appearance.
He has trained extensively in the use of BOTOX®, soft tissue fillers such as collagen, Restylane®, and Juvederm®, and in injection sclerotherapy for unsightly spider veins. Taken together, these techniques can keep you looking your best.
Just as importantly, there is no surgery involved; so there is minimal downtime or recovery to keep you from your active schedule at work or at home.
BOTOX® Cosmetic A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a simple non-surgical procedure that smoothes wrinkles between your brows, the so-called furrow or worry lines. It can also treat the crow's feet around your eyes, and the wrinkles on your forehead. A quick treatment relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed for months. The results are dramatic and apparent within days. Most people return to work or normal activity following treatment. With BOTOX® Cosmetic, your friends and coworkers will know you've done something, they just won't know what.
Soft Tissue Fillers
Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid are actually part of the natural support structure of your skin. Wrinkles form when these natural supports deteriorate over time. Soft tissue fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvederm® help with both the smile lines and the 'marionnette' lines that develop as we age. They can also enhance the lips, which have become thinner over time. Treatment is quick and simple and can last up to a year! Dr. Fox fully numbs the areas to be injected, so treatment is virtually painless. Recovery time is short, so you can sneak in a treament during the day. Telling anyone or not is delightfully up to you.
We all have them -- unsightly spider veins on our legs that develop as we age or after pregnancy. A series of treatments in the office can significantly reduce, if not eliminate them altogether. There is no downtime for this procedure; you can return to work quickly. The best thing is you won't have to feel self-conscious about getting into a bathing suit or skirt next summer!
Years of exposure to sunlight, as well as age, damages your skin. Your skin can become rougher in texture, spotted in tone, and looser in elasticity. Dr. Fox is pleased to offer a medically supervised skin care system, the Obagi Nu-Derm System. Many cosmetic products offer improved skin care, but only the Nu-Derm system offers improved skin health. That's because it uses prescription-strength ingredients that work at the cellular level, beyond the skin surface. The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a prescription home treatment program that diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and elasticity and corrects uneven pigmentation (age spots).
There are a dizzying array of products and services on the market today which claim to keep you looking your most youthful. How do you choose? Dr. Fox offers complimentary consultations for many of the above treatments designed to help you make good decisions about which treatments will keep you looking your best!
