Many cosmetic procedures can be performed so quickly that you can have them done on your lunch hour. Microdermabrasion, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and lip enhancement at our Austin- and San Antonio-area practice are just a few of the options that we offer to patients who are considering cosmetic enhancement but wish to avoid time-consuming, invasive procedures that require long recovery times. Dr. Constance Barone can help you reduce wrinkles and fine lines, augment your facial features, and look younger and fresher in the time it takes to grab a quick bite!
BOTOX® Cosmetic, available from our San Antonio-area plastic surgeon, is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. Crow's feet, frown lines, and other signs of aging on the face can be significantly reduced with this injectable treatment. Wrinkles and fine lines in the face are caused by muscles contracting in certain areas. A purified protein that forms the main component of BOTOX® Cosmetic works to temporarily paralyze these muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles and providing a smoother, more youthful appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments typically take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete, and results typically last about three to four months.

BOTOX Cosmetic is just one effective way of reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition to some of the dermal fillers that can be used for facial rejuvenation and lip enhancement, as described below, our plastic surgeon offers Juvederm™ Ultra and Juvederm™ Ultra Plus, Radiesse™, and more.

Lip enhancement is performed at our Austin- and San Antonio-area center to help patients achieve fuller, more sensual lips and improve the aesthetics of the entire face. A number of dermal fillers can be used to plump up and recontour the lips, providing a more youthful appearance. Augmentation of the lips can be achieved with a variety of injectables, including:
Collagen is a human-derived protein that can be injected into the lips to add volume and new contours. The procedure typically takes only about 15 minutes. Results can last anywhere from six weeks to six months or more, and repeat collagen treatment sessions can maintain the effects for years to come.
Restylane® is also composed of a natural-occurring substance in the body and therefore requires no allergy testing. In addition to providing rejuvenation by filling in wrinkles and fine lines in a number of facial areas, Restylane® can also provide lip enhancement results that last upwards of six months to a year. The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes to perform.
Fat injections, also known as fat transfer or liposculpture, take fat cells from other parts of the body and inject them into the lips to create a fuller appearance. Since the solution is based on material produced by your own body, no allergy testing is required, and there is almost no possibility of reaction to a foreign substance. Results are natural-appearing and significant, and are generally long-lasting. Fat injections usually take less than an hour to perform, and results can be maintained with repeat treatment sessions.
Lip enhancement from our plastic surgeon serving the Austin- and San Antonio-area can be combined with virtually any other cosmetic surgery procedure, including facelift, abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and more. Augmentation of the lips can go a long way in achieving a total facial or body makeover.
Contact Dr. Constance Barone for more information on lip enhancement and the technologies available to give you the voluminous lips of your dreams.
Sun damage, crow's feet, light acne scars, and many telltale signs of aging can be reduced with microdermabrasion, available at our San Antonio practice. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin care procedure that takes away the outer layers of dead skin cells to bring forth the healthier, younger-looking skin underneath. The treatment also encourages the production of new skin cells with higher levels of elastin and collagen, taking advantage of your body’s own natural resources to replenish your skin.
During microdermabrasion, a stream of aluminum oxide crystals exfoliates the skin by way of a guided, hand-held medical instrument. Dead skin is then gently suctioned out, making way for the healthy skin underneath. Microdermabrasion will typically require multiple treatment sessions in order to achieve full effect. This virtually painless procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes to perform and is commonly known as the "lunch-hour facial."
Rapid recovery and almost immediate results are two of the most noteworthy benefits of microdermabrasion. After the procedure, the skin will have a reddish or pinkish glow, which should fade after about a day. Patients may feel a sun- or wind-burned sensation after treatment, but this should also fade quickly. A cycle of five to twelve microdermabrasion treatments at our San Antonio-area facility, spaced about one to two weeks apart, will yield optimal results. Although this may seem extensive, microdermabrasion has proven to be one of the most effective cosmetic procedures for rejuvenating the skin.

Mesotherapy can provide aesthetic enhancement in a number of ways. This quick, in-office procedure can eliminate stubborn fat in virtually any area of the body, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and even work to resolve skin conditions such as acne and stretch marks. For fat removal and treatment of cellulite, mesotherapy offers a less invasive alternative to liposuction. Mesotherapy involves the injection of a solution into the treatment area that breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally expelled by the body's waste system.
In treating skin conditions, mesotherapy rejuvenates skin cells, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin and creating healthier, smoother skin. There is virtually no pain or recovery time and the entire procedure can be completed on your lunch hour.
Spider veins are small clusters of red, blue, or purple-colored veins that appear on calves, ankles, and thighs. Laser spider vein removal is a technologically advanced way of reducing the appearance of spider veins in a minimally invasive, virtually pain-free way. A beam of laser light sends pulses of energy to the treatment area, heating up the blood and causing the spider vein to shrink, ultimately resulting in its disappearance. The laser is so precise that it is able to target the veins without harming the surrounding healthy tissues. No incisions or injections are required in laser spider vein removal. Depending on the size of the treatment area and the severity of the spider veins, the entire procedure typically only takes about 20 minutes. There is generally no downtime after laser spider vein removal, and patients should be able to return to normal daily routines almost immediately. Several sessions of laser spider vein removal may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
This popular lunch-hour cosmetic procedure can give your skin a more youthful sheen, in many cases resulting in the complete disappearance of spider veins.
Laser hair removal can eliminate unwanted hair quickly and safely by using state-of-the-art laser technology. A hand-guided wand targets the treatment area and vaporizes hair follicles so that they never return. Depending on the size and location of the area being treated, laser hair removal can address what may be a lifelong issue with unwanted hair in just a few lunch-hour sessions at our San Antonio center serving Austin and surrounding areas. Learn more about laser hair removal.
A variety of facial imperfections, such as sun damage, natural signs of aging, rosacea, dark circles around the eyes, and light acne scars can be improved with Photofacial™ rejuvenation. This procedure involves gentle pulses of light that penetrate the skin in the treatment area. The heat from the light causes blood vessels below the skin to constrict, reducing redness and age lines and repairing signs of damage. Photofacial™ also encourages the skin to produce more collagen, which works to fill in wrinkles and make the skin smoother and more youthful looking. This state-of-the-art skin treatment takes just 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of the treatment areas. Photofacial™ therapy involves little discomfort, and patients can typically resume normal daily routines immediately after the procedure. Multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the best results.
