Dr. Janowski had the privilege of training with Dr. Rajani of Portland, Oregon on Friday, April 8th in our offices in Broomfield, Colorado. Dr. Rajani is a national leader who travels the country speaking and training physicians on the best uses of injectables (like Botox®/Dysport® and fillers). He is also one of the first to pioneer the use of threads in the United States. Dr. Janowski...

The Best Filler You’ve Never Heard Of Several months ago, I began injecting Sculptra, an old filler that has been on the market for many years.  I had resisted using Sculptra for quite a while, due to some myths and misconceptions that I had about the product’s safety, and, quite frankly, I knew very little about it.  Then, an expert injector and colleague of mine, Dr. JD McCoy, insisted I...

by Lawrence Janowski, MD Patients come to me because they want to look more youthful, fresher, more vibrant and more positive. In short, they want the outside to match how they feel on the inside. The most important concern they voice is that they want to look natural. They don’t want to look like someone who is trying to look as if they are in their twenties again. We all agree, that does not...

by Lawrence Janowski, MD In order to understand how to best achieve facial rejuvenation, one should have a fundamental understanding of what causes the face to age in the first place. The most important principle I can stress is that the majority of the aging of the face comes from a loss of facial volume. Our faces are literally shrinking! There are several components to this Our skin itself...

On January 13, 2016 I decided to get my first Kybella treatment. I’ve been bothered by submental fullness (or as I call it, my double chin) for years. I’ve seen Kybella dramatically change the jawlines of my patients – and I have been wanting to try it myself. Kybella is the first injectable treatment to destroy fat cells in the treated area. These fat cells are then...

In my opinion, dermal fillers still provide the most aesthetic “bang” for the buck. I would estimate that 75% off all facial aging can be attributed to volume loss. Thus, fillers combat one of the fundamental problems of facial aging. Now, with fillers that can last up to 5 years, their value increases exponentially. Here are some important newer ways we are thinking about fillers: Our face...

by Lawrence Janowski, MD Fillers can do amazing things for noses.  The most effective filler effect in the nose is to reduce the “bump” by injecting filler just above the bump at the top of the nose.  This immediately creates a straighter profile.  Fillers can also correct asymmetries, and also make a wider nose look narrower by injecting down the center peak. Our patients who have...

by Lawrence Janowski, MD Ear lobes are one of the most overlooked areas for fillers (second only to hands).  Years of wearing earrings can stretch out the lobe, and increase the size of the earring hole.  Many of us become self-conscious about laxity in our earlobes. Even without wearing earrings, the collagen in our lobes diminishes over time and the earlobe begins to stretch. The good news...

by Lawrence Janowski, MD Restylane Silk is a new filler now available for the lips and lip lines, and it is by far the best lip filler on the market.  It contains very fine particles of hyaluronic acid which create a very smooth, soft and elegant result.  It is really for defining the lip and creating your most natural and beautiful lips. Typically one syringe is all that is needed for most...
