Before & After Lip Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to add plumpness that has been lost due to natural collagen loss. This helps decrease the look of fine lines, and one injection can last for up to two years in some cases. The dermal fillers Dr. Miner uses include world-renowned brands like Radiesse and Juvederm, and have provided patients - both men and women - with incredible results!

Before & After Cold Sore Treatment

Best time for laser treatment of a cold sore is when the person feels the first sensations of it coming on. After lasering the area it becomes white. The white fades over the course of a few hours. After, it forms a scabs which comes off over the next couple of days. Sure beats the blistering, oozing, PAIN and unsightly lengthy duration of the cold sore.

Before & After Lip Lesion Removal

This patient had been frustrated for many years with this on her lip. She told us she had been to several dermatologists and plastic surgeons who “would not touch this.” She was very frustrated with not being able to get help for this, the appearance of it and the irritation of it. About one month later there is no scarring, no dimple/crater in her lip; her lip is soft supple and as though nothing was done. She is very happy.
