  • Skin Cancer

    Skin tumors are the most common form of cancer. These can appear as non-healing scars or bumps on the face or neck and should be examined by a doctor. Dr. Egan works very closely with noted dermatologists in the treatment and repair of skin cancers of the face and neck as well as aesthetic facial enhancement.

  • Juvederm® for Lip Plumping and Wrinkles

     

    lips

    JUVÉDERM® Injectible Gel is an injectable dermal filler comprised of lab created hyaluronic acid, allowing for a natural looking result and gradual biodegradability. JUVÉDERM® Injectible Gel, however, is manufactured to be extensively crosslinked, creating a dense network of “bridge”-type bonds between different molecules of hyaluronic acid. The resultant larger molecules are reputed to be more resistant to resorption and therefore resulting in a longer lasting dermal correction.

    In fact, Juvederm® is the only injectable dermal filler FDA approved to last over a year and the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in patients of all skin types and colors.

    JUVÉDERM® Injectible Gel does not require a skin test, as no allergic reactions are expected. Results are immediate and natural, and ‘downtime’ is usually only a few hours but, depending on the patient, some redness and swelling may persist up to seven days.

  • Dysport™ for Forehead Wrinkles

    Dysport™ represents the first new botulinum toxin type A treatment option in eight years to reach the U.S. market place. Dysport™ (abobotulinumtoxinA) inhibits release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from peripheral cholinergic nerve endings, which reduces muscular spasm. The active ingredient in Dysport™ is a botulinum toxin type A, which acts at the level of the neuromuscular junction in the targeted muscle. Dysport™ inhibits release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from peripheral cholinergic nerve endings, which reduces muscular spasm. It is the first competitor for BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dr. Egan was involved in the scientific studies that brought it to the U.S. market.  The experience from the studies done by Dr. Egan has shown that Dysport™ can produce longer lasting results of up to 6-8 months.
