Facial Rejuvenation
At Lavande, we offer a wide variety of injectable treatments. Injectables are non-surgical treatments used to correct signs of aging. These treatments are extremely helpful for smoothing away age lines, removing wrinkles, restoring facial volume, and even reducing chin fat to take care of a double chin.
The benefits of proper skin care, which includes the use of appropriate skin care products, include a less worried or tired appearance, smoother-looking skin, and improved confidence.

Botox targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet – the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. When injected with Botox, muscle activity is temporarily reduced, and you will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
For the crow’s feet area, we inject three areas of the orbicularis oculi, which is the muscle that frames the side of the eye. This will is then repeated on the orbicularis oculi muscle on the other eye. Injecting Botox into the muscles that cause crow’s feet lines temporarily reduces the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines.
For the frown lines area, we administer five injections into muscles in your forehead – one in the procerus muscle and four in the corrugator muscles. Injecting Botox into the muscles that cause frown lines temporarily reduces the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines.
The actual injection process takes about 10 minutes, but we will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. Once your initial treatment is complete, you may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to four months.
We may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, we may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; it’s often called a lunchtime procedure. You’ll be able to go about your normal routine immediately after leaving our Savannah, GA, office.
Juvéderm is a skin care procedure that offers instant, natural-looking results for up to one year with optimal treatment. It is the first and only non-surgical hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA-approved to instantly smooth moderate to severe wrinkles around your nose and mouth.
Skin care treatment areas include:
- Parentheses (Smile) Lines
- Corner Lines
- Marionette Lines
- Vertical Lip Lines
The injection process can be performed during a brief visit to our Savannah, GA, office. You’ll also need to allow time for a skin care consultation prior to treatment. Touch-up injections – as well as repeat injections – are usually needed to maintain optimal skin care results. Less gel (about half the amount) is usually needed for repeat injections.
Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. However, Juvéderm is formulated with lidocaine for a more comfortable treatment experience. We may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, we may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery.
Skin care treatment areas include:
- Smile Lines
- Marionette Lines

Radiesse is injected through a small needle and placed under the skin. Immediately, this skin care filler works to add volume under the skin and, over time, the benefits of Radiesse continue by naturally stimulating your body’s own natural collagen. The natural results have been shown to last a year or more in many patients, making the treatment results both immediate and long lasting.
Benefits of Radiesse include:
- Radiesse immediately replenishes lost volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen with results that can last a year or more in many patients.
- Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres leaving behind only your own natural collagen.
- Radiesse is clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.
- Radiesse provides skin care results with high patient satisfaction.
- Radiesse is FDA approved to mix with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to significantly reduce injection-related pain.
Many patients use Latisse in conjunction with other skin care treatments as part of an entire anti-aging regimen.
Some patients achieve the desired results as quickly as three months, though it may take up to six months for most patients. Most patients need two to three treatments spread six to eight weeks apart. You can expect the results to last at least two years from the last treatment. As with all other injections, there can be temporary swelling, redness, and bruising. You will be provided with an ice pack after your treatment to use for the remainder of the day and asked to massage the treated areas several times a day. You may use your makeup and sunscreen immediately after treatment.
PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma, which is a substance that promotes healing when injected. Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special “factors,” or proteins, that help your blood to clot.
Platelets and associated proteins are also rich in growth factors that promote cell replication, regulate normal cell metabolism, produce new collagen bundles, enhance blood vessel growth and create an environment of healing and repair in the treated area. Treating the aging or sun damaged face with PRP injections increases the amount of collagen in the face as well as helping the facial skin and soft tissue act and look more youthful.
On its own, PRP only provides a small amount of volume. Because of its collagen-stimulating characteristic, we commonly combine these with other collagen stimulating modalities, such as Sculptra, and microneedling to maximize collagen production. Traditionally, the PRP Vampire Facial is combined with a hyaluronic acid to improve skin quality and add volume.
How is the PRP Vampire Facial Performed?
First, a small amount of blood is drawn from your body and then centrifuged at a very specific RPM speed for a specific amount of time. Once the platelets are isolated, they are prepared and ready for use. The platelets are then injected in the same manner any filler injection would be performed. Usually PRP is combined with a filler to add volume.
A very common skin care treatment to enhance lips is the use of lip injections that take advantage of natural or synthetic fillers. These treatments can keep your lips plump for months at a time. If your lips have become thinner and less full or you simply feel self-conscious about how your lips look, it may be time to consider scheduling a consult in our Savannah, GA, office to review your options. In addition, on many occasions, you will discover that your face will be more balanced by having fuller lips.
Latisse is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough lashes) to grow eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. Full results take as long as 16 weeks, which is why it is important that, once you begin using Latisse, you must continue applying the topical solution each night and follow the directions for best results. If you stop using Latisse at any time, your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.
As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. Clinical trial results showed lashes were:
- 25% longer
- 106% fuller
- 18% darker
