Injectable treatments are quick and results are practically instantaneous with little or no downtime. Injectable fillers are generally considered temporary, semipermanent or partially permanenet since the results of the treatment will diminish over time. Your face is always changing as the result of aging and weight fluctuation, so while the notion of a permanent filler may seem attractive, it is often not desirable or appropriate for the long-term.

Lovely and Longer Lashes by Latisse!
The doctors with Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg are the first plastic surgery group in the area to offer LATISSETM, the new FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes, growing them darker, fuller and longer. Latisse’s maker, Allergan, has launched several medical aesthetic offerings such as BOTOX ® and Juvederm TM.
The active ingredient in LATISSETM, was initially approved as a medical product to lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. Patients who were treated for this eye condition experienced noticeable eyelash growth as a side effect.
Available only through a doctor, LATISSETM is prescribed as a daily treatment applied to the base of the upper eyelashes with a single use, sterile applicator. Patients can experience longer, fuller and darker lashes in as few as eight weeks, with full results in 16 weeks. To maintain the benefits of LATISSETM, continued treatment is required. If the product is discontinued, eyelashes will eventually return to where they were prior to treatment over a period of weeks to months. As with all prescription products, it is important to use LATISSETM under the close supervision of your doctor. Prospective users are encouraged to visit www.latisse.com
