Botox

A combination of volume loss in the face, years of facial expression, and the sunny California weather can take a significant toll on the face resulting in signs of aging such as hollowing out of the face, wrinkles, sagging skin, and sunspots.  While various lasers can at times help with smoothing out the surface of the skin, tightening the skin, and eliminating broken capillaries and sun spots, botox and fillers remain the mainstay of treatment to help return a more youthful look to your face.

At Gravity, we offer a variety of treatments to help bring back the more youthful look you once had.  By using Botox to paralyze the muscles of facial expression, we can help prevent and at times improve existing facial wrinkles.  The treatment is relatively painless and gives you an improvement that typically lasts for 3 months.

JUVÉDERM® XC

Using fillers can help to return volume to the aging face.

If you wish to fill in the lines just below and to the side of your nose (nasolabial lines) or the lines at the corners of your mouth (marionette lines), JUVÉDERM® XC is  an excellent option to help bring about a more youthful contour to your face and help soften the signs of aging.

JUVÉDERM Voluma™

If you are looking to add more volume to your cheeks, Voluma (a more highly cross linked version of JUVÉDERM) is an excellent option to give you plump and rounder cheeks as you had in your youth.

Kybella

KYBELLA®  is a prescription  medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” If you’re bothered by the fullness beneath your chin, you’re not alone. According to a 2015 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 67% of people said they are bothered by the fat beneath their chin, or what your healthcare provider may refer to as “submental fullness associated with submental fat.”

Get Beautiful, Kissable Lips – Lip Augmentation

JUVÉDERM® and JUVÉDERM® Volbella fillers produce lush, beautiful, touchably soft lips just for you!

Lips are a defining part of a woman’s face.  Over the years, a beautiful and aesthetic appearance to the lips has been sought after by movie stars, royalty, and average women alike.  Lips have been a sign of sensuality over the years and for that reason filling of the lips has become more and more popular over the years.  While there are options for permanent filling of the lips, the results when overdone can be hard to correct.  For that reason, we at Gravity Medical Spa in San Juan Capistrano, California love the use of hyaluronic acid filler for the lips.  Using JUVÉDERM® (a hyaluronic acid filler made by Allergan), a woman can improve the appearance of her lips… giving her more volume, projection, and pout if desired.

Whether you like something like Angelina Jolie or something like Gretta Garbo, a beautiful lip appearance can be achieved with filler using JUVÉDERM® and JUVÉDERM® Volbella products.

Each person’s individual case is different and treatment has to be individualized.  For that reason, at the time of a consultation, one of our skilled providers will go over the options available to you and will discuss realistic expectations.

After your consultation, often on the same day, we can perform a lip enhancement procedure after application of local numbing medicine.  Although the product itself is mixed with lidocaine (numbing medicine), we find additional numbing makes for a very comfortable experience for the patient.  Our goal always is to provide as pleasant and painless experience as possible for our patients.  After the lip area is sufficiently numb, we will inject the filler in such a way as to create the result you are seeking.  At times, more than one injection session may be necessary to create the perfect appearance to the lips desired.  This will be discussed with your provider before and after your treatment session.
