About Cosmetic Injections
Welcome to our dental practice in Metairie, LA, where we offer a range of cosmetic injections to help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dr. Russo uses safe and effective techniques to provide high-quality cosmetic injections, including Botox and Dermal Fillers.
Botox injections are a popular cosmetic treatment that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Our team uses Botox injections to target specific muscles in the face, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. Botox injections are a quick and painless procedure that can be performed in our office, with very minimal downtime or recovery required.
Botox can also be used to help improve the appearance of your lips, smile, and lower face. A lip flip involves the precise placement of just a few units of botox along the upper lip muscle near the border to relax and “flip” the lip to make more of the upper lip visible. This creates a fuller, larger, but natural-appearing upper lip.
Botox is also used to address a “gummy smile.” Botulinum toxin injection in the elevator muscles of the upper lip is an effective treatment approach for increased gingival exposure when smiling.
Botox is also effective in treating temperomandibular joint dysfunction. It helps relax tense and overactive jaw muscles and alleviate pain.
Dermal fillers are another popular cosmetic injection that can help restore volume and fullness to the face. Our dental team uses dermal fillers to address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles and folds, and sagging skin. Dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed smile, and the results can last for several months.
We are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality cosmetic injections available. Dr. Russo will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns and goals. We use only the highest quality products and techniques to ensure that you achieve the best possible results.

Agnes RF Microneedling
DYNAMIC PRECISION RF TECHNOLOGY PROVIDING IN-OFFICE SOLUTIONS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR SURGERY
Dynamic Precision RF Microneedling Technology is an advanced cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and improve the texture of the skin. It combines two potent techniques, namely radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling, to achieve remarkable results in skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and overall skin quality enhancement.
During the procedure, a specialized device with fine, adjustable needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries prompt the skin's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. What sets Dynamic Precision RF Microneedling apart is its integration of RF energy delivery alongside microneedling.
RF energy, a type of electromagnetic energy, is utilized to target deeper layers of the skin. This energy generates controlled heat, which enhances collagen production and accelerates tissue remodeling. By combining RF energy with microneedling, this technology achieves more comprehensive results than either method alone. The heat from RF energy not only stimulates collagen, but also tightens existing collagen fibers, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
The term "dynamic precision" refers to the customizable nature of the treatment. Practitioners can adjust the depth of the needles and the intensity of RF energy based on the individual's skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. This level of personalization ensures optimal results while minimizing potential discomfort or side effects.
Dynamic Precision RF Microneedling is effective for a range of skin concerns, including sagging skin, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. The combination of microneedles and RF energy promotes cellular turnover, skin rejuvenation, and improved circulation, leading to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
In conclusion, Dynamic Precision RF Microneedling Technology offers a sophisticated approach to skin rejuvenation. By blending microneedling's micro-injury stimulation with the deeper collagen-enhancing effects of RF energy, this technology provides individuals with a versatile and customizable solution to address various skin imperfections and restore a more youthful complexion.
