Dr. Michael L. Thornton, a double board certified cosmetic surgeon and Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, provides various nonsurgical aesthetic procedures to his clients. To reduce the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines and crows feet, Dr. Thornton performs Botox Cosmetic injections. In addition, Dr. Thornton also provides Xeomin as an alternative botulinum toxin.
Dr. Thornton has a long-standing partnership with Allergan to offer his clients discounts and point-of-sale rebates through Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions program for Botox and other Allergan-based dermal filler injections including, Juvederm XC Ultra Plus, Voluma, Volbella, and Vollure. Dermal fillers used at Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center are mainly composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a temporary filler and eventually broken down by the body over time within 6 months to 2 years — depending on the dermal filler chosen. Differences between Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, and Vollure are based upon the manufacturer’s cross linking technology and integrity of the hyaluronic and its manner upon how fast the body can naturally break down over time.
Wrinkle reduction and improving sun damage and acne scars can be accomplished with Co2 laser skin resurfacing. This nonsurgical procedure is performed by Dr. Thornton using local anesthesia. Downtime will vary but usually last a week or so leaving you skin cleaner and tighter, although results will individually vary.
Finally, KYBELLA is an office treatment Dr. Thornton may perform to improve the appearance your profile due to the accumulation of moderate fat below your chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” However, KYBELLA is not indicated for all patients, as this treatment is not indicated if you have loose skin. Dr. Thornton will discuss options to improve the aesthetic appearance of your neck during your consultation.
