BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomen, and Jeveau are all different brands of a class of medication known as neuromodulators. These medications are injected in microdoses into muscles to cause relaxation. This results in the softening of wrinkles in the facial skin.

Facial fillers are gels made of hyaluronic acid. Unlike neuromodulators, they do not have a physiological effect on muscles and wrinkles, but instead are used to add volume to areas of deflation or hollowing and to provide a lifting force to soften lines in the face.

By far the most powerful and aggressive laser available on the market is a CO2 laser. Dr. Brace uses the CO2RE CO2 laser. This new generation of CO2 laser utilizes a fully customizable interface and provides the option of varying levels of fractionation to prevent some of the problems with scarring that early CO2 lasers would create.

Dr. Brace uses his VBEAM Perfecta pulse dye laser to primarily treat red lesions. The power of this laser lies in its high absorption by the red pigment hemoglobin. The laser can be set to also target and clear brown spots from sun exposure and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dr. Brace uses the VBEAM on nearly every cosmetic scar with excessive redness to hasten the resolution and fading of surgical incisions.
