Placing Your Skincare In The Hands Of A Trusted Professional

Skincare is both a science and an art. When you place your skin in the capable hands of a PPSD professional, you guarantee the highest quality of personal attention coupled with extensive training and experience. This union of humanity and skill translates into truly outstanding results. Our JUVÉDERM specialists pursue a subtle, conservative approach that preserves spontaneity in the facial muscles, effortlessly accentuating your innate, all-natural beauty. We welcome patients from all over the Charlotte, NC area, including the nearby cities of Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, Lake Norman, and surrounding areas, as well as out-of-state and international patients.

Your procedure begins with a confidential consultation in the warmth and comfort of our immaculate office suites, where your doctor will discuss your goals in detail. After reviewing your medical records, prior surgeries, and treatments, and understanding your concerns, he or she will make the best recommendation for moving forward. At this juncture, before and after photos are a wonderful tool for aligning doctor and patient expectations.

We Care for the Health Of Our Patients

Every patient is fully evaluated prior to any treatment, and our JUVÉDERM physicians and dermatologists always hold your health as our top priority. It is advised that JUVÉDERM treatments be administered by a medical professional, rather than in a spa environment. It is generally considered important to hold off on these treatments until you reach 18 years of age, as the facial structure changes throughout the adolescent years.

JUVÉDERM Ultra XC is for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip augmentation in adults over the age of 21. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral lines in adults over the age of 21. Important Safety Information. Do not use these products if you have a history of multiple severe allergies or severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), or if you are allergic to lidocaine or the Gram-positive bacterial proteins used in these products.
