The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name BOTOX® Cosmetic, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases and crows feet near the eyes. The agent blocks nerve impulses temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. At times, BOTOX may not be enough to adequately conceal deeper lines. In these cases, dermal fillers or surgery can often be used as well.
Restylane® is a dermal filler used to restore volume and fullness for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Dr. Pestana’s patients find that the benefits of Restylane® are visible immediately and result in a natural enhancement which is gentle and safe to your skin. The longevity of Restylane® depends on your individual metabolism, but in general, lasts from 4 or 6 months to about 18 months. Since Restylane® is not permanent, it gives you the option of modifying your treatment later on to maintain or change the result you are seeking.
During your consultation, Dr. Pestana will discuss with you which of the fillers is best suited to fulfill your needs.

Prevelle™ Silk is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that contains a small quantity of a local anesthetic to provide pain relief at the injection site. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body, which moisturizes (hydrates) and cushions the skin. Prevelle™ Silk is naturally broken down by your body over time.

At his office in Coral Springs, Dr. Pestana offers the latest in skin resurfacing techniques. Fractional laser skin resurfacing offers superior results with virtually no down time. The fractional non-ablative approach stimulates quick healing, leaving the epidermis intact, with no lasting redness.
You may want to consider fractional laser skin resurfacing if you have fine or coarse wrinkles of the skin, if you have uneven skin surface as a result of scarring acne or small skin growths, or if you have areas of hyperpigmentation (age spots). Following fractional laser skin rejuvenation your skin should have a smoother, more youthful appearance with more uniform color, and a healthy-looking glow. The 1540 Fractional skin laser can also be used for a moderate reduction in stretch mark (striae) appearance.
Both Dr. Ivo Pestana and Dr. Tatiana Pestana are using this laser in our office, and will be happy discuss this therapy with you!
Striae is the medical term for stretch marks that often occur:
- During and after pregnancy
- After massive weight gain or loss
- Rapid growth spurts
- Various medical conditions
Clinical research studies have shown that patients treated with the Lux1540 achieved an average improvement of between 51% and 75% in the appearance of their striae, based on a blinded review of photographs comparing the pre-treatment appearance of striae versus the results three months post-treatment. Reports from private plastic surgeons in Europe and the United States have supported these findings, and the patients have been happy with their results. The most significant is that these patients report major improvement, without major time commitment, down-time, or pain.
With this FDA clearance, it clearly expands the broad range of treatments offered by the Lux1540, which may be used for non-ablative skin resurfacing, as well as to treat surgical scars, acne scars, melasma, and now stretch marks.
We would be happy to discuss the treatment options available to you with this laser therapy, either as a monotherapy for striae or in conjunction with a tummy-tuck or mini-tummy-tuck.
