Dr. Balle provides a caring and expert treatment experience for those seeking non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Not only is Dr. Balle an "expert injector" of all the products he offers, but he takes the time to understand his patients concerns. I would definitely consider Dr. Balle to be a true artist in his evaluation of your physical characteristics and what treatment product(s) and their application will give the best results. In addition, the support staff at Grosse Pointe Dermatology complement all that Dr. Balle has to offer. Monet does a terrific job as cosmetic consultant in his practice. Thanks Dr. Balle and staff for a great experience!
Dr Balle’s staff was very welcoming and genuinely friendly. The consultation was extremely thorough and Dr Balle made me feel at ease. I am so grateful for his skilled care and look forward to seeing him for my aesthetic and dermatology needs!
Dr. Balle is a genius! I was considering expensive painful surgery to improve the appearance of my asymmetrical jaw. (20% larger on right side) Dr. Balle disguised it 100% with Voluma! My jaw surgeon was amazed and told me he wouldn't have known without x-rays and suggested I stick wth Balle instead of surgery. I am beyond pleased with the results and so happy I found a safe alternative. Dr. Balle is an artist! I love this man!!!!
Dr. Balle is definitely an expert injector! Hands down best Botox results! First time ever I didn't get Spock brow... I will never go to anyone else! I have also had a few different filler treatments and love the results!
I'm so much younger than my face so i put my face in the hands of an experienced artist. He is awesome and his staff professional yet nurturing and concerned. Well worth the $, and i will continue to receive my services from him. There was no condesendence from him. I felt good about my experience after the consultation and was ready.
Absolutely remarkable! Dr. Bale corrected a over fill procedure in a tear duct from another Dr.s office. The area looked as if I had a foreign ballon object placed under my eye. He's very precise, skilled and has a extreamely keen artful eye for his profession! Trusting the Doctor or nurse who is injecting me has become paramount. I will only go to his office and would highly recommend him to anyone considering non-sugurcial rejuvenation!
I met with Dr. Balle to discuss my skin aging concerns (looking tired and fine lines setting in). Dr. Balle recommended injectable filler to address my concerns. 2 weeks later and I look 10 years younger! I will only trust Dr. Balle, with my skin aging needs. He is an expert and perfectionist. I look natural and I'm a patient for life!
My motivation was to have the sagging and empty areas on my cheeks improved. It makes me look older than I like and causes excessive skin folds at the mouth and chin area. The procedure took care of these concerns and I love how I look. It's amazing. I cannot think of any con other than I will need to have it done again in a couple of years.
I saw Dr Balle for a consult and mentioned that my neck and the areas around my mouth were getting crinkly - like crepe paper. He said he could definitely help those areas. He ended up using diluted Restylane Silk, using a cannula, on my neck. He was right, it did smooth the skin out! So, a few weeks later, I went back and had him work on the areas around my mouth, to fix those etched-in fine lines. Again, he used the diluted Restylane Silk mixture with a cannula. I had very little bruising (and I usually bruise a lot!) and almost no swelling. It took a few weeks to be sort of integrated into the skin, but I could definitely see a difference. Very happy with the result and with Dr. Balle. He is a true professional and a very lovely man. Plus his staff is wonderful. Five Stars!!

I'm a 48 year old African American female, hopeless romantic and for the past 3 years I've noticed my nasolabial folds becoming more predominant as I age. I have always believed in "keeping yourself up", a motto a play brother shared if I wished to marry one day. I routinely believe in chemical peels, facials, premium beauty products and eating healthy. So after having a procedure that involved nourishing the skin, I was not pleased with the wrinkles around my mouth. I had tried online exercises for the face and to no avail nothing really helped. I was already a patient of Dr. Balle for skin problems, and went to him for a consultation. I explained what I did not like about my face, and that I looked sad and older than what I wanted to look. He discussed my options and the side effects and recommended filler. I was nervous and prayed about the whole procedure and have to admit the results exceeded my expectations. It was worth every penny and some. I looked younger, like the person I use to look like 10 years ago. People at work commented that a recent vacation did me justice, but what they did not know that it was the fillers. It was like magic the wrinkles were hardly noticeable. This was a gift to myself and I will continue to go for regular touch-up's ! I Love Dr. Balle! The assistance was also easy going and made me feel so comfortable! I trust Dr. Balle, as he was not pushy and gave me a honest opinion!
Filling the tear trough requires a highly skilled experienced core physician. Every patient is unique and the needs are often different. I commonly use a cannula to deliver the filler to the needed area most typically on the bone. Sometimes this is followed by small aliquots in other planes to achieve the best result in an individual with either a cannula or needle.
Facial asymmetries are not unusual. They are commonly helped with fillers placed in strategic areas to balance the affected regions. Fillers provide a natural, safe, long lasting result when administered by a skilled Dermatologist.
The lips are a particularly sensitive area for filler treatment. I would choose an experienced Dermatologist with a gentle touch. For your comfort, a topical anesthetic and ice can be applied before your treatment for a numbing effect. If you would like additional anesthesia, a nerve block can be given. Remember also that injectable fillers today come packaged with anesthetic in the filler. You should do well.Best regards,Dr. Balle
There may be some swelling initially after Voluma or any injectable filler. Swelling may be related to technique, speed of injection, associated bruising and amount given. I would recommend reassessing your cosmetic result with your physician injector about two weeks after your proceedurfor you to have the most satisfaction from your treatment. If you both perceive that there is too much, there are ways to address it.Best regards,Dr. Balle
Yes, the results of Kybella are permanent. Kybella destroys fat cells and our body is incapable of regenerating these fat cells or creating new ones. Patients will definitely need two treatments and some may need a third. Kybella is a a unique one of a kind treatment.
