Why Choose Redjuvenation
Cosmetic injectables are on the rise and so are complications. In an FDA meeting in March 2021, more adverse events were reported due to less experienced and unsupervised injectors. Unfortunately, there is a perception that injectables are “no big deal” and anyone can learn to inject. Injectables are now being offered in places like hair salons and even having Botox and filler parties in private homes! Using injectables should be considered an invasive medical procedure and it is important that your injector is properly qualified and licensed.
Aesthetics is not just beauty, but it deals with the surface of unbroken skin. Once the skin’s surface is broken, this becomes medical territory with attendant risks. Your choice of clinician is your insurance in the event something does go wrong despite all due diligence. Your choice of injectors should be based on qualifications and experience, not on price. Your injector should be able to inform and educate you on all your options, and not just be a salesman for a particular injectable or for a particular “look”.
Eric Barrett, M.D. has a thorough knowledge of anatomy and knows where it is safe to inject. He also knows where it is not safe and the reasons why. As a physician, if there is a complication, he has the knowledge and expertise to treat it. Our office is fully licensed and insured, just like any medical practice.

Dermal fillers are an in-office procedure that is a minimally invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery. Patients often undergo facial filler injections to achieve a more youthful appearance with as little down time as possible. Fillers are available to target nearly any area of the face, including crow’s feet, laugh lines, and thin lips.
Did you know…
that non-surgical cosmetic treatments are the fastest growing form of aesthetic medical enhancements in the U.S.? The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were up by 6 percent in 2012 over 2011 despite surgical procedures being down by 2 percent. More than 1.4 million dermal injections were administered to American patients in 2012 alone – up from 1.3 million in 2011.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for facial fillers?
You may be a candidate for dermal facial filling if you are unhappy with your facial volume or are looking for a non-surgical way of smoothing fine lines. Many types of facial injections are available; and our staff would be happy to help you find out which filler is right for you. Contact us today to schedule a consultation or find out more about dermal injections.
What should I expect during a facial filler injection?
Getting a facial filler is as easy as dropping by our office on your lunch break. Using a very fine needle, your filler will be injected just beneath the surface of your skin. You will experience little or no discomfort and can return to work immediately after the procedure.
What types of results can I expect from a facial filler?
Results vary from patient to patient and are never guaranteed. However, most patients begin to see visible results within just days of undergoing a dermal injection. Results may continue to improve over the course of several weeks. Depending on the location of your injection and the type of filler used, the effects of your filler may last as long as 6 months or more.
We’re pleased to introduce DAXXIFY™–the only long-lasting, peptide-powered frown line treatment. We’re one of the first exclusive providers to offer this innovative treatment. Call our office today to book your appointment and visit DAXXIFY.com to learn more.
What is DAXXIFY™ and how is it different?
DAXXIFY™ is FDA approved to help smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.
Conventional injectables last 3 – 4 months and require up to 4 treatments a year to maintain results.
Nearly 90% of patients say they wish results lasted longer. With DAXXIFY™ you can
keep your frown lines smoother for a full year with as few as 2 treatments.
At least 50% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 6 months after treatment. Between 3% and 5% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 9 months after treatment. In other safety studies, between 5% and 17% of patients still had noticeable improvement 9 months later.
Why are peptides important?
All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, BOTOX® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant.
DAXXIFY™ is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
Is DAXXIFY™ well studied?
DAXXIFY™ was studied in the largest-ever clinical study conducted for a frown line treatment and included more than 2,400 people across different ages and skin types.
- There were no serious treatment-related side effects in clinical trials for DAXXIFY™
- The active ingredient in DAXXIFY™ is botulinum toxin type A, an ingredient that has been used in frown line treatments for more than 20 years
- 96% of people treated with DAXXIFY™ were satisfied with their results
96% of patients reported they were satisfied on a 7-point scale when evaluated at 4 weeks in clinical studies.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for DAXXIFY™ (daxibotulinumtoxinA-Ianm) injection
DAXXIFY™ may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of DAXXIFY™:
- Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing due to weakening of associated muscles can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are pre-existing before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months.
- Spread of toxin effects. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms that include loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.
- Do not receive DAXXIFY™ if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in DAXXIFY™ (see Medication Guide for ingredients); had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as rimabotulinumtoxinB (MYOBLOC®), onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®/BOTOX® Cosmetic), abobotulinumtoxinA (DYSPORT®), incobotulinumtoxinA (XEOMIN®) or prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs (JEUVEAU®); or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
DAXXIFY™ dosing units are not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product.
Tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including any side effects from botulinum toxin products, including dry eye; breathing, swallowing, bleeding, or heart problems; plans to have surgery; weakness of forehead muscles; drooping eyelids; have had surgery on your face; are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Using DAXXIFY™ with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your healthcare provider that you have received DAXXIFY™ in the past.
Especially tell your healthcare provider if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months or any in the past, and exactly which product you received (such as BOTOX®, BOTOX® Cosmetic, MYOBLOC®, DYSPORT®, XEOMIN®, or JEUVEAU®). DAXXIFY™ may cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions (such as itching, rash, redness, swelling, wheezing, trouble breathing, or dizziness or feeling faint), heart problems (such as irregular heartbeat and heart attack), and eye problems (including dry eye, reduced blinking, and corneal problems). Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you experience a serious side effect. No serious adverse events of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of DAXXIFY™ have been reported in clinical studies at the dose of 40 Units for glabellar lines. The most common side effects of DAXXIFY™ include headache, eyelid drooping, and loss of ability to move the muscles in your face.
These are not all the possible side effects of DAXXIFY™. For more information, see the full Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning, and refer to the Medication Guide or talk with your doctor. To report side effects associated with DAXXIFY™, please call 1-877-373-8669. You may also report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or visit www.fda.gov/medwatch.
APPROVED USE
DAXXIFY™ is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used in adults to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.
Dissolving Filler/Filler Correction
We get it. Styles come and go and the filler you received years go (or even just days ago) may not suit you anymore. And filler itself can breakdown and migrate over time. The result? Overfilled areas and lumps or uneven features. Oftentimes, adding more filler is not the answer. Dr. Barrett will assess each patient and develop a plan to make corrections so that you can be happier with your final result.
Sculptra
What is it and why do we use it?
Sculptra is an injectable that helps stimulate the production of collagen. As we age, collagen fibers undergo accelerated and progressive loss and fragmentation. This, along with fat loss, contributes to the aging face. Traditional fillers can help replace some of this volume loss and adding Sculptra to the face can further improve the look of the aging face by encouraging the skin to create more collagen.
