The treatment itself was decent, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. performed the procedure competently, but I didn't feel any extraordinary results or improvements afterward. The treatment did address some of my skin issues, but it didn't exceed my expectations.
Been coming here for years and the experience has always been great. Patel cares so much about his patients and makes sure the procedure is done correctly! Ximena is the sweetest and radiates such positive energy that always puts me in a good mood, she makes sure I’m taken care of every time and she has the best personality ! She’s my favorite. Love them both!
I have been to many doctors for a variety of health reasons throughout my life (and I'm only in my early-30s), and I have to say that visiting Dr. Patel is hands-down one of the best experiences I have had. Dr. Patel and his team (medical assistant Christian, office assistants Elena and Ximena) are extremely professional, well-informed, patient, and all-around considerate. I was even offered a blanket for the AC and a phone charger when mine died! Dr. Patel wants you to be happy and will not suggest (or even agree to, if you suggest it) any procedure that wouldn't enhance your health and appearance, even if it would profit his practice. That is a rare trait in any line of medicine. Highly recommend.
I have been going to Dr. Patel for over 4 years, have moved out of town, but go to Miami for treatment. I have had sculptra, dysport and restylane with amazing results! Looks natural. Great bedside manner and a true artist!
Dr. Patel's knowledge of the skin / dermis is phenomenal! Living in Miami FL, abusing the sun is inevitable. My melasma was very noticeable - I visited many dermatologists and medical spas for treatment - wasted money & time to no avail - until Dr. Patel!!! My skin is looking healthy and youthful with the skin regimen I am using and my melasma is gone. He enhances your individual beauty ++ without looking like a FREAK!!! If you live in south FL you will benefit from his services :).
Patel knows his stuff! I had been misdiagnosed by every other doctor as having sun damage when in fact it was melasma, which requires a completely different treatment plan. No wonder nothing ever worked before now. In fact, some of it was making it worse! You really need to go to a skin specialist and not a plastic surgeon or spa that can tell the difference!
Dr. Patel is by far the best aesthetic dermatologist and injector I’ve ever been to! He’s up to date on all of the latest clinical data and techniques and takes pride in his craft. The entire Miami Skin and Vein team is incredibly accomodating, knowledgeable, and kind! I could not be happier with my cheek fillers, dysport, and Lip Flip from him!!
Dr. Patel and his staff are so wonderful. They make me feel so comfortable and welcome every time I come in. Dr. Patel is honest and trustworthy. His work is subtle yet effective. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my injections
Dr Patel and all his staff are an example of professionalism and excellence! I have been going there for approximately 2 years and the service has consistently being top notch! They not only make you feel like family but also they truly care about your health, safety and personal concerns. Special thanks to Jimena who assisted the Dr. during my procedure and made me feel comfortable through the process. Dr. Patel and his complete staff are totally an A+ team! :)
I had a great experience at Miami Skin & Vein! It was my first time getting fillers, so naturally, I was nervous. However, Dr. Patel, Gabriela, and Roxana made me feel like I was right at home! Everyone was so accommodating, welcoming, and willing to answer any questions I had. After only my second visit, the staff seriously felt like friends to me. Dr. Patel recommended a different skincare routine to help me with my redness and pores, and the products worked like magic. After a month of use, my redness and the appearance of my pores have improved so much. Additionally, I got tear trough fillers, and they came out great after we figured out I needed another syringe. Everyone did their best to make sure the procedure was as painless as possible, and they definitely helped my nerves go away. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend getting work done with Dr. Patel!
Your photos are limited but based on what you have provided, I believe an HA filler like Restylane may help. The forehead is a vascular part of the face. There are risk of intravascular injection when treating the forehead. I would only see a highly experienced injector for forehead filler. Slow, low pressure injection technique with the needle or preferably cannula constantly moving can help reduce but not eliminate risk of intravascular injection. A neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport will help soften the horizontal forehead lines but will not improve the concavity you are concerned with. Hope this helps.
You do not need to stop the Tri-Luma cream prior to Botox treatment. There should be no interaction between the two products.
You smile will return to its normal pretreatment state as soon as the Botox has worn off. In certain patients, the treatment results will last longer, possibly 3-6 months. Just give the treatment some more time to wear off and your normal smile will return. As for the undereye wrinkles, these can be worsened by the lateral Botox injections but this can be corrected by injecting a tiny about of Botox or Dysport underneath the eye. Hope this helps.
On the three photos you have provided, I see volume loss and skin laxity. A combination of Sculptra to restore lost volume, Dysport to relax the downward full of the platysma muscle, and possibly HA filler like Restylane Defyne directly injected into the marionette lines will give you a nice result. I would also consider a skin tightening procedure (RF, ultrasound) and topical skincare products to thicken and tighten the skin. The best thing for you to do is schedule an in-person consultation with an experienced local physician.
Subtle differences in volume between the two sides of the face can be improved using filler. However, differences animation are hard to correct. The nose deviation would not be corrected with filler, in my opinion.
