Now more than ever the industry is replete with injectable products designed to enhance aesthetics. These products range from neurotoxins such as Dysport or Botox to stop the formation of wrinkles to filler used to restore volume loss or enhance specific areas. With the addition of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and the use of harvested stem cells, Dr. Merrick offers the widest variety of injectable treatments in western Wisconsin. Together with Mary Rosen, RN and Jessica Joles, FNP-C, Dr. Merrick’s team has the most combined injection experience in the area.
Neurotoxin
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Neurotoxin is injected into the facial muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. Patients will see maximum results within 7-30 days with results typically lasting for four months or more.
Filler
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Dermal fillers are injectables that are a non-invasive, gentle and extremely effective way to give you a more youthful and glowing facial appearance. They are the ideal option for men and women of all ages who want to refresh their appearance, but are not yet ready for an aggressive and permanent surgical procedure.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
BOOK APPOINTMENT
PRP therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. Once platelets are in the area that’s being treated, they break down and release growth factors, which are compounds that help cells repair and renew. This triggers your body’s healing process to accelerate healing after laser procedures or to promote rejuvenation of the skin.
Autologous Fat Grafting
BOOK APPOINTMENT
While fillers are widely used to restore loss of volume, autologous fat transfer, a procedure unique to Merrick Plastic Surgery, uses the patient’s own fat to restore volume. These transplanted fat cells can provide a permanent restoration of volume loss.
Scultpra
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen—the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissue—for results that can last up to two years.
As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles.
Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.
As Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.
Lip Augmentation
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Lips are a major focal point in facial aesthetics. At Merrick Plastic Surgery we use a variety of injectable products and/or our patient’s own fat to achieve a natural enhancement. In contrast to many medispas whose goals are to maximally augment lips, we strive for subtle, enhanced beauty.
