At the Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery we offer a number of non-surgical treatment options used to rejuvenate the skin and enhance a patient’s appearance, including Restylane®, sclerotherapy, dermabrasion, and BOTOX® injections. At our practice in Gainesville, Florida, we can determine if a non-surgical treatment or a combination of non-surgical and surgical treatments can meet a patient’s unique needs.
BOTOX® injections are performed in order to temporarily eliminate the appearance of laugh lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other types of fine lines and facial wrinkles. BOTOX® injections are minimally invasive and require no recuperation period or down time. We will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for BOTOX® injections at our Gainesville, Florida practice or may suggest an alternative procedure to meet your needs.
During BOTOX® injection treatment, the physician will administer a single or several carefully placed injections into specific treatment areas. The BOTOX® cosmetic solution works by safely paralyzing the muscles that cause facial wrinkles to appear. The entire procedure takes no more than 10 minutes. BOTOX® injections may also be used to treat a variety of other conditions such as eye muscle spasms and excessive perspiration. Treatment for non-cosmetic purposes with BOTOX® injections will be determined on a case by case basis at our Gainesville, Florida practice.
The results of a BOTOX® injection will gradually become apparent in the next three to five days after treatment and can last as long as three to four months. Additional BOTOX® injections may be administered as needed.

Restylane® injections are performed in order to temporarily eliminate the appearance of crow’s feet, laugh lines, frown lines, and other types of fine lines and facial wrinkles. Restylane® injections are minimally invasive and require no recovery time following treatment. We will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for Restylane® treatment during a consultation at our practice or may suggest an alternative procedure to meet your needs.
During Restylane® treatment, the physician will administer a series of volume-enhancing injections into predetermined treatment areas. Since Restylane® is made from hyaluronic acid -- a substance that occurs naturally in the human body -- Restylane® causes few allergic reactions and is fully biocompatible.
The results of a Restylane® injection will last up to six months. Follow-up Restylane® treatments may be administered as needed, though they are usually scheduled in intervals of six months.

Hylaform® injections are performed in order to temporarily eliminate the appearance of laugh lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other fine lines and facial wrinkles. Hylaform® injections are minimally invasive and require no recovery period following treatment. We will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for Hylaform® injections during a consultation at our practice or may suggest an alternative procedure to meet your needs.
During Hylaform® treatment, the physician will administer a series of volume-enhancing injections into predetermined treatment areas.

The results of a Hylaform® injection will last somewhere between four to six months. Follow-up Hylaform® treatments may be administered as needed, though they are usually scheduled in intervals of four to six months.

Laser skin resurfacing is performed to rejuvenate wrinkled or damaged skin, improving the skin’s appearance and texture. The procedure is commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, though it can also be used to treat uneven pigmentation or facial scars in some cases. We will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing during a consultation at our practice or may suggest an alternative procedure to meet your needs. We may also determine if laser skin resurfacing should be combined with a surgical procedure such as a facelift or blepharoplasty to meet your needs.
During laser skin resurfacing, the physician will use a safe, highly controlled laser to remove layer after layer of damaged skin. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires only a short recovery period after treatment.

Dermabrasion is performed to restore the smooth, healthy appearance of the skin’s topmost layer. The procedure is commonly used to treat acne scars, fine lines, and facial wrinkles. Dermabrasion can also be used to treat keratoses, a type of pre-cancerous skin growth. We will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for dermabrasion during a consultation at our practice or we may suggest an alternative procedure to meet your needs.
During the dermabrasion procedure, the physician will carefully scrape away the outermost layer of the patient’s skin. The physician will continue safely scraping away layers of skin until the wrinkle or scar is less visible. Additional treatments may be required, particularly if the treatment involves a large area of skin or if the scarring is deep.
When you visit our office, we will be able to provide you with more in-depth post-treatment instructions following dermabrasion. In general, it is recommended that patients do not pick at the scabs or crusts that form following dermabrasion. These will fall off naturally.

Sclerotherapy is performed to eliminate the appearance of spider veins. These types of veins are often found on the ankles, calves, and thighs and are often purple, blue, or red. We will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for sclerotherapy during a consultation at our practice.
During sclerotherapy, the physician will inject a special solution into the affected veins. One spider vein injection is administered for every inch of a spider vein. The number of injections required will vary depending on the treatment area and other factors unique to your situation.
When you visit our office, we will be able to provide you with more in-depth post-treatment instructions and expectations following sclerotherapy. As with the number of injections required, the post-treatment instructions will vary depending on your situation.

Collagen treatments are performed to enhance the volume of different areas of the face, eliminating the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while contributing to a smoother and more youthful appearance. Collagen treatments may also be used to enhance the shape and fullness of a patient’s lips. We will determine if you are a good candidate for collagen treatment during a consultation at our office or we may suggest an alternative procedure to meet your needs.
During collagen treatment, the physician will administer a series of volume-enhancing injections into predetermined treatment areas. A skin test will be required prior to a collagen treatment to ensure that the injections will not cause a patient to have an allergic reaction.
The results of collagen treatment can last up to six months and in some cases longer and are determined by a variety of factors, including the area of the injection, a patient’s age, and skin type. Follow-up collagen treatments may be administered as needed, though they will be scheduled on a case by case basis.
