Neurotoxins
Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Wrinkles
Injectables such as botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify, is a safe and effective treatment for reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet.
Dr. Cho will carefully evaluate your individual needs and tailor your neurotoxin treatment to help you achieve a natural, refreshed appearance. The amount of botulinum toxin needed varies from person to person, and the cost of treatment will vary accordingly.
The botulinum toxin treatment itself takes only a few minutes to perform and there is no downtime. You will start to notice smoother lines within 3-5 days after your treatment, and the effects will last for 3-4 months.
It is never too early to start botulinum toxin treatments to prevent deeper, more permanent wrinkles. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Cho today to learn more about how botulinum toxin can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Biostimulators
As we age, we lose bone, fat, and collagen in our face, which can lead to sagging skin and a more aged appearance. Sculptra Aesthetics is a unique injectable treatment that gradually stimulates your body's own collagen production, resulting in a more youthful appearance and improved skin texture.
Sculptra is the only FDA-approved biostimulator on the market, and it is clinically proven to last for more than two years. The treatment is administered in a series of two to three injections over the course of six to nine months.
Sculptra is a great option for individuals who are patient and willing to commit to a series of injections to achieve their desired results. It is also a good choice for those who are looking for a more natural and longer-lasting solution than other facial fillers.
Natural Fillers
PRP (platelet rich plasma) and nano fat grafting
Natural Solutions for Younger-Looking Skin
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and nano fat grafting are two natural, non-surgical treatments that can be used to improve the appearance of the skin.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets that are drawn from your own blood. It is rich in growth factors that can stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, and provide mild volume enhancement. PRP can be injected into the skin or applied topically after microneedling.
Nano fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own fat cells to add volume and improve the appearance of the skin. The fat cells are processed to create a thin, liquid suspension that can be injected into the skin.
Both PRP and nano fat grafting are great treatments for younger women who want to maintain a youthful glow or for those who need mild volume replacement. They can also be used in combination with other treatments, such as microneedling, for even better results.
Nano fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own fat cells to restore volume and improve the appearance of the skin. It is a great option for patients looking for more permanent, natural results.
Areas that can be treated with nano fat grafting
- Temples
- Forehead
- Brows
- Upper and lower eyelids
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Lips
- Chin
- Jaw Line
During the procedure, fat is harvested from a small area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then processed and purified to create a thin, liquid suspension that can be injected into the skin using a fine needle.
Nano fat grafting is also a great adjunct to facelift surgery, as it can help to enhance the results of the surgery and provide a more natural-looking appearance.
The procedure is typically performed in the office under local anesthesia. There is minimal downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
Nano fat grafting is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of the skin and restore lost volume. It is a great option for patients of all ages who are looking for a natural, long-lasting solution.
