How Does Botox Work?
Whenever the skin on our face moves, such as when squinting or smiling, the body's nervous system sends signals to the muscles underneath the skin, called neurotransmitters, that cause the muscles (and our skin) to move. Over time, this constant contraction of the facial muscles is what causes the appearance of wrinkles. Botox, a form of neuromodulator, is used to block the neurotransmitters that are sent to our facial muscles. By blocking the signals that cause our facial muscles to contract, Botox is able to relax the muscles and, ultimately, reduce the appearance of wrinkled skin.
Where Is Botox Used?
Botulinum Toxin is typically used to reduce wrinkles in between the eyebrows, or the Glabella area, as well as the areas around the eyes (commonly referred to as Crow's Feet.)
How Much Does Botox Cost?
Our Botox treatments are priced at $12 per unit. We do not charge an injection fee. Botox is typically priced per unit of medicine. The total cost of a treatment depends on how many units a person needs to achieve their desired results. In addition to the number of units, many Botox treatment centers charge an injection fee. Additionally, some treatment centers charge a flat-rate for treating different areas. Because different people require different amounts of Botox for proper treatments, paying a flat-rate to treat a particular area will likely mean that some patients will pay more, and some will pay less, than they would if they paid by the unit. Most of Verve's patients purchase Botox packages, providing considerable savings on Botox treatments as well as the flexibility to use however many units of medicine whenever desired.

How Do I Know How Much Botox I Need?
There are several factors that determine the number of units needed for a patient to achieve their desired results. It is important to understand that individual responses to Botox often vary from patient to patient. Some patients simply need a lower number of units than others to achieve proper results. One common factor that determines the number of required units is the length of time since a patient was last treated with Botox. For example, if a patient had a full response to a Botox treatment several months ago, the dosage required to achieve results may be less than a patient whose last treatment was 12 months ago. Another common factor in determining a patient's required number of units is the area being treated; some areas simply require more units on average than other areas. An example of this is underarm sweating, which is a condition commonly treated with Botox. It is not uncommon to use more units of Botox when treating underarm sweating than when using Botox to treat movement lines between the brows. Finally, some patients want more or less of a specific response than others, requiring different amounts of medication.
Is Botox Right For Me?

Kybella
Winner of Allure Magazine's "2015 Breakthrough Award"
What is Kybella?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) injection, is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness.
What is submental fullness?
Submental fullness, sometimes referred to as "double chin," is a common, yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. It can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance-leading to an older and heavier look. It can impact a broad range of adults and is not limited to people who are overweight-it can impact men and women of average weight.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella is a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the aesthetic response is achieved, retreatment with Kybella is not expected.
How long does a Kybella treatment take?
The in-office non-surgical Kybella treatment can take 15-20 minutes.
When will I see results?
Everyone is different. Depending on the problem area, a patient may see results in 2-4 treatments.
Sculptra Aesthetic
Go straight to the source of facial aging with Sculptra! Use Sculptra to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate your appearance today! Continue reading to learn more or jump to one of the following:
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a cosmetic filler that stimulates the production of collagen, a natural protein in our bodies that provides support for our skin. Sculptra is made from a substance called poly-L- Lactic acid (PLLA).
What exactly does Sculptra do?
By stimulating the production of Collagen, Sculptra helps to restore volume and support under the skin in areas of the face that have lost collagen and/or fat. Essentially, Sculptra helps your body to reproduce the collagen that was once there, which in turn corrects the lost support structure underneath the skin.
What areas of the face does sculptra commonly treat?
Sculptra is commonly used to treat the area from corners of the nose to the corners of mouth, also known as Nasolabial folds, as well as Marionette lines, or the area from the corners of the mouth downward (which circumscribe the chin.) Sculptra may also be effective in treating other areas of the face that are particularly affected by the loss of collagen and/or fat.
How is sculptra applied?
Sculptra is injected beneath the skin with a needle or a fine instrument called a cannula.
How long does sculptra last?
Sculptra may last up to a few years, however, these results may vary and can be affected by variables such as the amount of Sculptra injected as well as the area of treatment. These variables depend on the particular needs of each patient.
What are some of the advantages of choosing Sculptra over other fillers?
Sculptra generally provides long lasting results and may be useful in areas of the face that have lost volume due to a loss of collagen or fat. Many patients choose Sculptra because it acts mainly by stimulating the production of a protein (collagen) that is already present in the human body. Alternately, most fillers work by adding back mechanical space in order to replace volume. Therefore, Sculptra possesses the unique property that it is mainly a stimulator of collagen, rather than a substitute for replacing lost volume.

Skin Pen
Micro-Needling Treatments. Continue reading to learn more or jump to one of the following sections:
What is Microneedling?
Micro-needling is a skin treatment in which tiny, fine needles are used to puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production within the body. By causing microscopic zones of injuries on the skin, micro-needling damages only a very small portion of the skin, triggering the skin's natural healing process and stimulating the creation of new collagen. The healing process works to replace these small wounds with new skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance that is tighter in structure.
How Are Micro-Needling Treatments Performed?
At Verve, we use The Skin Pen II by Bellus Medical to perform micro-needling treatments. The Skin Pen II is a device that looks like a pen and has a cluster of tiny needles at the tip. When applied to the skin, the pen's tiny needles create microscopic channels in the skin.

EyeRise
EyeRise is a specialty of Dr. Bracci of Verve. EyeRise is a non-surgical technique developed to treat under eye bags and restore the natural architecture of the under eye area. Continue reading to learn more or jump to one of the following sections:
What Is EyeRise?
EyeRise is a non-surgical technique that involves a tailored combination of different injectable fillers around the sides of the eyes, the mid-face (malar) region, and the cheek bone (zygomatic) areas. Based on years of experience treating the under eye area, Dr. Bracci has developed an innovative method for reducing a tired or aged appearance underneath the eyes. By using different cosmetic fillers at each layer underneath the skin, the goal is to restore the original architecture and, ultimately, reduce the appearance of eye bags.
Why Choose EyeRise over Surgery?
EyeRise provides a more natural look by restoring the architecture of the eyes without making permanent changes to the face. EyeRise is adding back support where you once had it. This is compared to surgery, which involves cutting away what you currently have. EyeRise does not involve any cutting or repositioning of the skin and tissue. EyeRise provides instant results, and may be performed in a lunch time appointment. The procedure requires little or no downtime after treatment. EyeRise allows for adjustments in the future, making it easy to maintain the results from the procedure.
How much does EyeRise cost?
Prices typically vary from $2,499 to $3,499. Pricing is based on getting results and not based on the cost of each individual filler. Our goal is to provide the most sufficient results possible without over-correcting the area. We have no limit to the amount of fillers we provide and will add enough fillers to get the optimal results, without overfilling the area. Some of our clients have benefited from as many as 6 or 7 vials of various fillers in the EyeRise procedure. There is no particular recipe, but each client is treated with a combination of several fillers, in precise but different layers to restore the natural architecture . Experience allows Dr Bracci to apply the necessary filler combinations for each client to get the maximal results while maintaining a natural appearing architecture of the EyeRise area.
How long do results from EyeRise last?
EyeRise results may persist for up to several years or more. The EyeRise results will slowly disappear over years - however individual results will vary . It is recommended to return annually to receive a mini maintenance visit to maintain the optimal results.
Why Choose Verve?
Dr. Bracci is skilled in determining which fillers are best for each area. He is also known for his artistic injections and his skill in the use of a fine instrument, called a cannula, is used to perform these injections. Unlike sharp needles which may bruise and are not as precise, the Cannula allows for a more concise contour of the treatment area. The cannula will also lessen the risk of bruising which may occur in some patients for a short period of time. Dr. Bracci is a leader in perfecting this technique. Verve's philosophy is that the under eye area and mid face holds as a main centerpiece to the aesthetics of the entire face. Clients choose EyeRise due to Verve's unique technique, experience, and dedication to obtain natural looking results without surgery.

BaseLift
What is a BaseLift?
BaseLift is a non-surgical procedure that uses cosmetic fillers to lift sagging skin and restore the shape of the face. The BaseLift treatment sculpts the face back to its original form while maintaining a natural look.
What is the "Base of the Face"?
The Base is the term we use to refer to the face's underlying support structure that is found underneath the skin. The primary components of this facial base are fat, bone and muscle.
How is the BaseLift performed?
The BaseLift adds back to the facial base what has been lost with age by utilizing a combination of cosmetic filler injectables to restore the shape and architecture of the face. Rather than surgically removing or repositioning the tissues of the face like a traditional facelift, BaseLift maintains your natural look while giving you a more youthful, rested look. The BaseLift non-surgical facelift utilizes the principle of vector lift points that are on the upper, middle and lower face and jawline areas to recreate a natural lift in different directions, to restore the face in all dimensions. Using his artistry, Dr. Bracci uses the BaseLift™ treatment to meet each clients needs and restore their unique facial structure.
Why does our skin sag and fold with aging?
Facial aging occurs when the face loses the support of the base. The simple science of facial aging is that we lose this foundation, or base, below the skin. Eventually, this loss of support leads to our skin folding and sagging.
How Does a BaseLift compare to other filler treatments?
The BaseLift is a non-surgical facelift method that artistically applies a combination of fillers to restore the natural shape and architecture of the face. A traditional filler treatment may involve the use of a specific product to treat a specific condition such as marionette lines. The BaseLift is different in that it is a way to treat the whole face in one session and achieve natural, noticeable results.
Why is a non-surgical BaseLift the ultimate solution for most clients?
By concentrating on adding back support rather than removing tissue, the BaseLift non-surgical facelift recreates the original architecture supporting the face. Each layer, as well as each area, of the face benefits form the unique combination of these fillers to achieve the greatest lift while maintaining your natural appearance. The BaseLift method is a three-dimensional, non-surgical restoration of the face's architecture. Neither surgery nor topical wrinkle creams can effectively restore the facial base that is lost with aging. The BaseLift method restores what was once there while maintaining a natural look.

Natural-Look Lip Plumping

Natural-Look Lip Plumping
Over the last few years, we have seen an abundance of over-sized lips on celebrities and public figures. Even some of our closest friends have flaunted unattractive or over-corrected "lip jobs". As a result, medical lip plumping techniques are often misunderstood. Proper plumping does not make your lips look "over-stuffed." It is a natural enhancement to the youthful appearance of your face. Matching the size and shape of your lips with the structure of your face makes all the difference in the world. So, for many patients treating the area around the lips is just as important to create this balance and natural result. If you have small lips or are starting to see signs of aging (vertical lip lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds) around your lip area, a non-surgical medical treatment will produce a natural and genuine outcome that enhances your face. It is important to select a physician that is experienced in lip area enhancements. A strong aesthetic knowledge and talent is necessary to balance the enhancement with the shape of the face to avoid over-correction.

Kybella
Winner of Allure Magazine's "2015 Breakthrough Award"
What is Kybella?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) injection, is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness.
What is submental fullness?
Submental fullness, sometimes referred to as "double chin," is a common, yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. It can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance-leading to an older and heavier look. It can impact a broad range of adults and is not limited to people who are overweight-it can impact men and women of average weight.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella is a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the aesthetic response is achieved, retreatment with Kybella is not expected.
How long does a Kybella treatment take?
The in-office non-surgical Kybella treatment can take 15-20 minutes.
When will I see results?
Everyone is different. Depending on the problem area, a patient may see results in 2-4 treatments.

Hand Rejuvenation
Rejuvenate the hands with Radiesse. Radiesse is a product of Merz. Visit the Merz website to learn more.
Why do hands age?
The skin on our hands is easily exposed to the sun and the harsh elements of day to day life. The skin on our hands is often more sensitive to the aging process and so the tissue beneath the skin becomes thinner and the veins and tendons become more visible as the skin loses volume.
How does Radiesse work to treat hand aging?
Radiesse is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the back of the hands. When injected into the hands by an experienced physician, Radiesse adds back the lost volume to create a smooth younger look to your hands.
How does Radiesse stimulate collagen production?
Radiesse contains calcium microspheres (CaHA) which stimulate the body to produce collagen, resulting in immediate long-lasting volume augmentation.
How long do Radiesse hand treatments work?
Radiesse for the hands can last up to 1 year.
Micro-Needling Treatments
Continue reading to learn more or jump to one of the following sections:
What is Microneedling?
Micro-needling is a skin treatment in which tiny, fine needles are used to puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production within the body. By causing microscopic zones of injuries on the skin, micro-needling damages only a very small portion of the skin, triggering the skin's natural healing process and stimulating the creation of new collagen. The healing process works to replace these small wounds with new skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance that is tighter in structure.
How Are Micro-Needling Treatments Performed?
At Verve, we use The Skin Pen II by Bellus Medical to perform micro-needling treatments. The Skin Pen II is a device that looks like a pen and has a cluster of tiny needles at the tip. When applied to the skin, the pen's tiny needles create microscopic channels in the skin.
What does the Skin Pen treat?
The Skin Pen is used to reduce signs of aging improve fine lines and lessen wrinkles.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Most clients choose a series of 5 sessions. Some clients will begin to see results in as few as one session.
Why would I choose Skin Pen over more aggressive laser treatments?
Most people choose Skin Pen treatments (micro-needling) because it stimulates the body's internal repair mechanism. Additionally, Skin Pen treatments don't require the same amount of recovery time associated with aggressive laser resurfacing or surgery.
Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is the process of using a light-based device, such as a single wavelength laser or an Intense Pulse Light system (broad spectrum light device), to selectively heat and damage hair follicles and, ultimately, preventing the hair follicle from growing again. Laser/IPL hair removal treatments work to heat and destroy the hair follicles without damaging the skin.
How are Laser/IPL hair removal treatments performed?
Laser hair removal treatments are performed by using a machine known as a Light sheer Diode that applies an intense light source to the skin underneath the hair, which in turn heats the hair follicles. At the same time that the light heats the hair follicles, a cooling mechanism is applied to the skin to reduce overheating and burning. Laser/IPL hair removal treatments are generally performed in sessions, with at least 3 weeks in between each session. The goal with each successive Laser/IPL session is to damage and destroy more and more hair follicles. Most clients choose at least 6-8 treatments to see satisfactory results.
What are the most common areas treated by Laser/IPL hair removal?
Laser/IPL hair removal is most commonly used to treat the face, underarms and bikini-line areas. Other treatment areas include the arms, back, chest and legs. Almost any area of the body can be treated.
How are the most effective Laser/IPL treatments performed?
Besides selecting the correct laser for one's skin type, the single most important variable is the provider's selection fluence, or energy level. Each person, as well as body part, will have a small, optimal range of fluence for each visit. Selecting a lower than optimal fluence will result in reduced effectiveness of the treatment, whereas selecting a higher than optimal fluence will lead to overheating of the skin and even burning. Generally, thicker/darker hair responds better to treatment than does thinner/lighter hair. Because of the different ways that hair responds to these treatments, some clients benefit far more from laser/IPL hair removal than others.
How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?
Small areas are priced as low a $49/session. Prices may vary based on the size of the treatment area. Many clients benefit from treatment packages and our specials.
How long do results from Laser/IPL hair removal treatments last?
The goal of laser hair removal is to permanently reduce the number of remaining hair follicles. Most clients see consistent improvement in the number and size of the hairs after a series of laser treatments, while some clients will choose to maintain or improve the results with some follow up treatment visits.

What is a photofacial?
A IPL Photofacial is a type of skin treatment that uses light to rejuvenate and repair damaged skin. IPL Photofacials involve using a very strong light source, called an Intense Pulse Light (IPL), to heat the skin and, in turn, stimulate healing of the skin.
What conditions are IPL Photofacials used to treat?
IPL Photofacials are typically used to treat sun damaged skin, such as age/sun spots, as well as small blood vessels known as vascular lesions. In addition, IPL photofacials may be used to treat redness of the skin, or Rosacea, and sometimes small wrinkles known as Rhytides. Lastly, IPL Photofacials may be beneficial in treating acne.
What body parts do photofacials typically treat?
The most common areas treated with IPL Photofacials are those that get the most sun exposure. These include the face, upper chest, shoulders and back.
How is the IPL Photofacial treatment performed?
IPL Photofacials are simple procedures. An intense light source is applied directly next to, or on to, the skin to generate a heating effect. This heat in turn triggers an immune and repair mechanism within the skin, ultimately resulting in skin turnover and new skin growth.
How much do IPL Photofacials cost?
IPL Photofacials are priced by the treatment or by packages, and are priced by the amount of treatment area applied. Photofacials for a small area start at $199/ visit, or $599 for a package of 4 sessions.
How long do results from IPL Photofacials last?
