BOTOX

For patients who wish they could turn back the clocks of time and reduce and even eliminate wrinkles and fine facial lines, Botox is an excellent and quick option. Our team at Rocky Mountain Ophthalmology will use this treatment to return your facial appearance to the youthful look you remember.

This popular treatment is most commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, and forehead to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® injections work by blocking nerve impulses. This temporarily relaxes the muscles which cause wrinkles and gives the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® usually needs to be repeated every three to six months, and may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.

What Is JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel?

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm® injectible gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! If you are seeking a natural treatment to reduce folds and wrinkles without surgery, and desire a youthful and glowing appearance, Juvederm injectible filler will give you that healthy look you seek.

Juvéderm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Dr. Cuevas eases Juvéderm® injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm® provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm® compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.

• Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm® injectable gel and another dermal filler preferred Juvéderm®!
• Juvéderm® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

Immediate Results

With Juvéderm® the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or downtime.

*Juvéderm® is indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).

For a natural look that will restore hydration, create volume and provide instant relief of deep grooves and scars, contact Rocky Mountain Ophthalmology today. Dr. Cuevas and our team will establish a treatment plan tailored for you!

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Do you find yourself looking in the mirror frustrated with tired and saggy looking eyes? Do you wonder if your look can be restored to your bright eyed and fresh appearance of your youth? At Rocky Mountain Ophthalmology, we are here to give you the look you seek including a slight lift of your eyelids to restore a well rested and younger appearance.

Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve sight by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient's field of vision. The procedure is usually performed in an office with local anesthesia, in as little as 45 minutes. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a facelift or BOTOX® treatments to raise the eyebrows or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet or dark circles under the eyes.

If you think you may be a candidate for Blepharoplasty and seek the guidance of a professional team, call Rocky Mountain Ophthalmology today and we will work with you to find the treatment you need!
