Dr. Gryskiewicz offers Juvederm™ and Radiesse® for injectable fillers, along with Botox® to relax facial wrinkles. These injections are done at our Burnsville office by Dr. Gryskiewicz.
Botox®:
Botox® is a relatively new procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Botox® has proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
Reasons for Considering a Botox Treatment:
-
Excessive facial wrinkles.
-
Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead.
-
Small wrinkles or “crow’s feet” around your eyes.
-
A vertical “frown line” between your eyebrows.
General Procedure
The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles. Typically a small amount of Botox® is injected into the area of the wrinkle. Botox® works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out. The effects of a Botox® treatment will last approximately three to six months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.
Recovery Process
Patients generally return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, however following the post-procedure guidelines will dramatically reduce the length and intensity of the recovery period. Patients should avoid engaging in heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 4 hours after the injections.

Radiesse®:
Radiesse® is a dermal filler that goes beyond filling and correcting facial wrinkles and folds, it can restore facial volume. Radiesse® stimulates the body to produce new collagen and provides natural looking, long lasting results. Radiesse® has been FDA approved, and has undergone rigorous testing in clinical studies, to prove its safety. If you would like more information about Radiesse®, you could check at www.radiesse.com. We also have literature here in the office that tells you more about the product. You must be at least 21 years of age to receive this product. The effects last about one year, depending on how fast your body breaks it down.
Areas for use of Radiesse®:
cheeks, cheek folds, chin, hands, jawline, and Marionette lines
Side Effects:
Just like with any injection, you may experience mild irritation, swelling, itching, redness, bruising or tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve on their own.
How is it done:
Radiesse® is injected into the skin in a simple, safe, quick procedure. Dr. Gryskiewicz will administer some form of anesthetic to make this as comfortable an experience as possible. There is very little down-time involved, as most patients return to their normal, daily activities right after their visit. Every patient is unique, so be sure to discuss your plans with Dr. Gryskiewicz in your consultation.

Juvederm™:
Juvederm™ Ultra injectable gel is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. Juvederm™ Ultra temporarily adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face. The effects last about one year, depending on how fast your body breaks it down.
Areas of use:
lips, below the eyes, cheek folds, jawline, and marionette lines.
Side effects:
Just like with any injection, you may experience mild irritation, swelling, itching, redness, bruising or tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve on their own.
How it is done:
Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection, Juvederm™ Ultra is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Dr. Gryskiewicz chooses to anesthetize the treatment area to further minimize discomfort. There is very little down-time involved, as most patients return to their normal, daily activities right after their visit. Every patient is unique, so be sure to discuss your plans with Dr. Gryskiewicz in your consultation.
