We offer both Juvederm & Restylane products.

Juvéderm® is a collection of advanced dermal fillers designed to smooth wrinkles, restore facial volume, and enhance facial contours, offering natural-looking results that can last for months. Made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, Juvéderm® products help replenish lost volume and hydrate the skin, giving you a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Restylane - As we age, our faces lose some of their plumpness, which causes any fine lines or wrinkles we have to become more apparent. While facial wrinkles are a normal part of aging, they can also be caused by sun exposure, diet and even our genetics. If you're looking to reduce the appearance of your facial lines and restore volume and fullness, dermal fillers can be an excellent option. Many patients also request fillers to increase lip plumpness, a process that can also add youth and fullness to the mouth area.

Microneedling

As our skin ages, our collagen production naturally slows down. The Collagen P.I.N. is a method of introducing controlled micro-injuries into the skin that trigger a release of natural growth factors that create new collagen and elastin, which results in plumper and firmer skin.

As our skin ages, our collagen production naturally slows down. The Collagen P.I.N. is a method of introducing controlled micro-injuries into the skin that trigger a release of natural growth factors that create new collagen and elastin, which results in plumper and firmer skin.

Medical Collegen P.I.N can improve:
Fine lines, lax skin, and wrinkles
Skin tone, texture and pore size
Scarring due to acne or skin injury
Signs of sun damage

We typically recommend a series of 3-6 treatments depending upon your areas of concern. Treatments are usually spaced in 4 week intervals. Patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage or any type of scarring usually require 6 or more treatments to achieve the desired results.


Sclerotherapy (Vein Treatment)

Sclerotherapy is a proven, minimally invasive treatment designed to eliminate small leg veins, including spider veins and varicose veins, by using a specialized solution that causes the veins to collapse and fade away. This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their legs by reducing unsightly veins and restoring smooth, clear skin.

Timothy “Tim” Smallwood, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, NP-C, is excited to join the practice as a nurse practitioner who will see patients for their dermatologic health needs as well as patients for their cosmetic desires! Following graduation from Morehead State University’s Nurse Practitioner program, he earned dual certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). With his certification, he can diagnose and treat patients through all ages of life. Prior to joining the team at Modern Dermatology of KY & Cosmetic Specialists, Tim worked in healthcare for over 10 years starting as an EMT, Paramedic, and Registered Nurse prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner.
