CLAIM YOUR PROFILEFrom your photos, it doesn’t appear as if you have any hooding of the eyes, and it would be a mistake to do anything drastic or permanent (like surgery) at this point. Botox, when performed by an experienced injector, can be the perfect way to lift your brows a bit and give you more of an “awake” and refreshed look. Additionally, dark eyeliner tends to make eyes look smaller, so you might consider more subtle eye makeup to enhance your youthful eyes. Best of luck!

As you probably know, the full effects of Botox aren’t visible until seven to ten days after your injections are performed. As far as the effects being different the second time around, there are a few explanations for that.One is that it is unlikely that the injection was put in the exact same location as last time, which means it may work in a slightly different way, and your muscles may react differently this time around. Whatever the reason, I recommend that you wait the full ten days before making a final assessment, and if you are still unhappy, follow up with your experienced Botox injector. Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. Venus Freeze uses thermal energy to induce fat reduction and skin tightening. During your treatment session, you may notice a warming sensation as the treatment safely and gradually heats up the treatment area. You should not experience any pain or discomfort. Any painful side effects that appear similar to burns are likely the result of improper treatment by an unqualified provider.
Be sure to contact your care provider right away to schedule an in-person evaluation of your side effects. In the future, always receive your treatments from a board-certified professional to ensure the utmost safety. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. Venus Freeze is a comprehensive treatment option that can tighten contours, reduce fat and create more youthful skin. When used on the thighs, patients will see a decrease in the circumference of their legs after a series of six to eight sessions. Exactly how much size reduction you will experience depends on your anatomy and how much fat you carry in your thighs.
If you have any additional questions about Venus Freeze treatments, be sure to discuss them with a board-certified plastic surgeon during an in-person consultation. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. Venus Freeze is an effective option for patients interested in youthful skin and improved body contours. The legs can be treated using Venus Freeze procedures to reduce stubborn fat; however, targeting the lower legs, especially around the ankle joint, may not be as safe as targeting the thighs.
A board-certified plastic surgeon will be able to discuss all of the benefits and uses of Venus Freeze treatments with you during an in-person consultation. Not every patient is a candidate for Venus Freeze and your concerns may be addressed more efficiently with a different fat reduction procedure. Hope this helps!
Physician
Hello and thank you for your question. The cost of individual Venus Freeze treatments will vary among care providers. Treatments are typically sold in packages since six to eight treatment sessions are required for most patients to experience optimal results. Purchasing each treatment individually will likely end up costing the patient more over time. When sold as a package, six to eight treatment sessions may cost between $1,500 and $3,000. When sold individually, treatments may cost between $250 and $500 each.
Schedule a consultation with a board-certified Venus Freeze provider to learn more about prices in your area and receive an accurate cost estimate. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. As a minimally invasive treatment option, Botox injections produce very mild side effects that generally subside within a matter of days. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, redness and tenderness in the injection sites. Once all side effects from your Botox injections have dissipated, you should be safe to undergo Venus Freeze treatments. Venus Freeze is a gentle procedure and is not known to interfere with the results of injectable treatments.
Be sure to discuss your questions and concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon during an in-person consultation. Hope this helps!

Dr. Kollinger is absolutely amazing at lips! I had one syringe of juvederm vollure injected into my upper and lower lip. I had some pretty significant natural asymmetry that he was able to fix. I love how my lips look! They are now perfectly symmetrical and look very natural. I highly recommend Dr. K!
Very happy with Botox and fillers. Great listener and offers multiple options to achieve your desired result!! Professional and has multiple locations. Top provider with years of experience. Highly recommend
Dr Kolkinger is excellent. He is great with injections. Always friendly and gives great advice on what treatments to do. He has been doing my injections for 6 years and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else
I'm a regular customer of Spa Sydell Perimeter (Botox and Voluma) and always receive 5-star service. Always a warm welcome upon arrival by the front desk team and Dr. Kollinger is always right on time, which I appreciate because I usually visit during my lunch hour. I enjoy my consults with Dr. Kollinger- he is professional, engaging, thoughtful, honest, and has quite a talent for bringing life back to a very tired face. We always review my last visit and discuss what areas I'm looking to target during my present visit. I never feel any pressure from Dr. Kollinger; he listens to my concerns and makes suggestions for me to consider along with pricing, but, leaves the decision making entirely up to me. I always leave his office feeling and looking 100 times better than when I came in! I'll continue to return to Spa Sydell and seek treatment from Dr. Kollinger- I trust him implicitly!
