BOTOX®, Dysport, Sculptra, Dermal Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane), Latisse and More for Edina, Minnetonka and the Greater Minneapolis Area
For many people, lines and wrinkles on facial skin are prominent enough to be bothersome, but not severe enough to warrant surgery such as a face lift. Fortunately, a range of cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers are available to address such problems quickly, effectively, and with minimal discomfort. We offer many options, such as BOTOX® , Dysport, and dermal filler (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, & Sculptra) injections at our Edina office, serving the Minnetonka, Minneapolis, and St. Paul areas, to help our patients achieve smoother, more youthful appearances without surgery.

BOTOX®
Among the most popular rejuvenation products available today, BOTOX® is in a class by itself. Unlike dermal fillers, which reduce wrinkles by adding volume beneath the skin and making skin appear tighter, BOTOX® treatments work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles to form in the first place. Learn more about BOTOX® by contacting our Edina office near the Minneapolis and Minnetonka areas.
BOTOX® is most commonly applied to the forehead and around the eyes, where facial expressions etch deep vertical and horizontal creases over time. The serum is administered through a tiny needle into the specific muscle or muscles to be treated. Once injected, BOTOX® begins to block the signals that trigger muscle contraction, causing the muscles to remain relaxed and the overlying skin to become softened and smooth.
Administration of the serum only takes a few minutes and it begins to work immediately, with results becoming progressively more noticeable over the next two weeks. Another benefit, for many, is the subtlety of the improvement. While surgery generally results in a significant change in appearance, a BOTOX® treatment provides just enough enhancement to be noticeable, but not so much that people will suspect a cosmetic procedure has been performed.
Results from BOTOX® treatment are temporary, but will usually last for at least three to four months. Repeat treatments at appropriate intervals can keep skin smooth over the long term.
Dysport®
Prescription Dysport, like BOTOX®, is used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.
With just 1 injection into each of the 5 points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.
Administration of the serum only takes a few minutes and it begins to work immediately, with results becoming progressively more noticeable over a number of days and will usually last for three to four months.
JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel
Produced by the makers of BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is a super-smooth hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. It can be used to fill out facial wrinkles, lines, and the nasolabial folds that commonly run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Administration of JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel takes less than 30 minutes and requires no downtime for the patient following treatment. Results can be seen immediately and will generally last for up to a year with 1 treatment. As with most dermal fillers, potential side effects such as redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site are mild and disappear quickly.
Restylane®
One of the most popular options for dermal fillers is Restylane®. Made from a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid, a substance produced naturally in the human body, Restylane® poses minimal risk of allergic reaction and adverse effects of any kind are extremely rare.
Restylane® can safely be used on all facial lines, as well as some other areas of the body to provide fullness and reduce wrinkling. The treatment generally takes less than 30 minutes and results are immediate. No downtime is required after administration.
Another benefit that greatly contributes to the popularity of Restylane® is the relatively long-lasting effect it achieves. When used to smooth facial lines and wrinkles, Restylane® has been shown to provide noticeable results that last up to a year.
Perlane®
Perlane®, from the makers of Restylane®, is a part of the next-generation dermal fillers. Utilizing a more advanced hyaluronic acid formula, Perlane® provides all of the benefits of its predecessor, including safe, effective wrinkle reduction without the need for an allergy test. Because the concentration of hyaluronic acid in Perlane® is higher than that in Restylane®, it is more suitable for addressing deeper lines and the nasolabial folds that frequently form between the nose and the corners of the mouth.
Treatment with Perlane® is a quick and simple process that produces immediate visible results that last up to a year.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® works differently from other injectables as it gradually replaces lost collagen giving you natural-looking results that can last up to 2 years or longer. Sculptra® is a one-time facial injectable treatment regimen of up to 4 injection sessions that are scheduled about 3 weeks apart. Sculptra® corrects shallow to deep nasolabial folds that frequently form between the nose and the corners of the mouth, as well as other facial wrinkles.
Latisse®
Latisse is a topical prescription product used to grow eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker. Used once daily, results typically start to show between weeks 4 and 8, with full results at 16 weeks of use.
