Botox, Dysport®, and Xeomin® cosmetic injectables are different brand names of neuromodulators that soften, smooth, and erase wrinkles. Botox is a fast and simple treatment with no downtime.
Botox helps minimize the wrinkles in the face, including forehead lines, wrinkles between and around the eyes, as well as frown lines.
Botox is a muscle relaxant that diminishes wrinkles on the face, smoothing the forehead, and improving the look of tired eyes and angry facial expressions. It greatly improves wrinkles between and around the eyes as well as frown lines. This helps create a more youthful, refreshed, beautiful look. The treatment involves tiny, painless injections of Botox into the main facial muscles. Within days, you will see a marked improvement in the lines and wrinkles. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all FDA-approved muscle relaxants and last three or more months depending on the individual client. Studies have shown that Botox anti-ages the facial muscles when used regularly.
Botox is also used to successfully treat migraines, TMJ, and sweating.

The IPL Photofacial and BBL laser treatments are non-surgical solutions to bring out the best in your skin! Aging skin and other skin imperfections can cause you to lose your confidence.
At Dr. Burkenstock’s Skin-Body-Health, the South’s hallmark anti-aging and aesthetic medicine clinic, we offer multiple solutions to bring out the best in your skin, including BBL laser and IPL Photofacial treatment options to restore the health and beauty of your skin without any invasive procedures or downtime.
Dr. Burkenstock has studied with international luminaries in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation including the world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Patrick Bitter.
Dr. Bitter developed the BBL laser / IPL Photofacial and completed the “Forever Young” study at Stanford University proving that skin rejuvenation and collagen were improved with BBL/IPL treatments.
As the skin ages, many visible imperfections can develop that are difficult to address with over-the-counter products and treatments.
BBL laser/IPL Photofacial is a non-invasive alternative that uses the modern advancements of laser light technology to address aging and damaged skin in deeper dermal skin layers without damaging the surface or connective tissues.
BBL laser/IPL Photofacial can correct multiple skin imperfections including:
Simply put, the Forever Young BBL laser/IPL Photofacial treatment is a revolutionary and effective treatment meant to address pigmentation issues. It is a powerful tool that can effectively remove unwanted brown spots and age spots.
The BBL laser/IPL Photofacial treatment utilizes an optimized wavelength of laser light energy which heats up the area in need of treatment. This energy is finely tuned so that it is absorbed only by the skin’s problem areas and unwanted pigmentation.
Other skin issues such as facial flushing, rosacea, and spider veins can also be treated by increasing the temperature around the targeted area, breaking down the off-color pigments so they can be removed by the body.
After the BBL laser/IPL Photofacial treatment, you should expect the treated pigmentation areas and age spots to turn darker. However, about 10-14 days later, the treated areas will begin to lose their excessive pigmentation, and their color will conform to your body’s natural skin tone.
BBL laser/IPL Photofacial uses pulsed laser light technology. This raises the temperature of the external layer of the skin on the area that is being treated. This increases the amount of collagen that your body produces, thereby improving your skin’s coloration, health, and appearance.
BBL laser/IPL Photofacial rejuvenation is a gentle treatment with no downtime. This means that the treatment can be administered without interrupting your daily activities. Our goal is to remove areas of hyperpigmentation caused by the sun, broken capillaries, or other issues. We want you to walk away from the procedure having younger-looking skin and a more refreshed appearance.
Since it is a non-invasive treatment, you do not have to spend days recovering. You will have a healthier, beautiful, more vibrant skin appearance.
BBL laser/IPL Photofacial rejuvenation often requires more than one treatment to achieve the ultimate results. The number of treatments you will require depends on what area is being treated, your age and the skin type that you have.
While there is no procedure that can permanently turn back the hands on the clock, photo rejuvenation BBL laser/IPL Photofacial has helped many individuals to address the aesthetic effects of age, freshening up their look, and giving them vibrant skin again. It worked for them, and we’re confident it will work for you.

Our RFN micro-needling laser is an innovative procedure combining micro-needling with radio frequency laser energy that takes skin rejuvenation to the next level! Radio frequency micro-needling tightens skin, decreases creepiness, shrinks enlarged pores, and rids the complexion of discoloration, age spots as well as melasma. Fine lines and wrinkles are diminished. It does a beautiful job of improving upper and lower eyelid droopiness and creepiness.
RF micro-needling adds the element of radio frequency energy to the traditional micro-needling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via tiny gold-plated needles. In addition to the benefits provided by the microneedles, RF micro-needling also delivers radio frequency laser energy deep into the dermis (skin), further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying skin layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results than micro-needling or other light-based lasers without aggravating the topical skin layer, resulting very little to no downtime!
RF micro-needling is appropriate for nearly any skin type and tone. The procedure addresses the following issues:
Most patients will achieve full results with 2-3 treatment sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. The number of treatments will depend on how well the patient responds to the treatment and the severity of the skin issues to be addressed.
RF micro-needling can offer similar results to ablative laser procedures but with significantly less discomfort and downtime. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. The treatment usually takes one hour, depending on the size of the area that is being treated.
Skin is typically red for the first day or two after treatment, but the redness is typically mild and much less than is often seen with laser procedures. There is little or no discomfort after the procedure, and patients typically return to regular activities within a day. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after the procedure to mask any residual redness.
In addition to offering this revolutionary procedure, Dr. Burkenstock can further enhance the results by adding PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) during the treatment. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from the client. The client’s PRP contains important growth factors and stem cells that promote cell regeneration and repair. When platelets are infused onto the skin in conjunction with the RF micro-needling procedure, the PRP and the RF micro-needling work synergistically and dramatically improve the texture, quality, and appearance of the skin.
Are you experiencing hair loss? Micro-needling and PRP are also effective in treating mild hair loss for both men and women. Call (985) 322-8721 to schedule a FREE consultation and learn more about this innovative procedure!
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced, natural treatment for skin rejuvenation offered at Dr. Burkenstock’s Skin-Body-Health. Our skin is naturally comprised of red blood cells along with serum which contains white blood cells and platelets.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an extract of your own serum containing 3-5 times more platelets, growth factors, and active proteins. Growth factors in platelets help skin function by increasing collagen and elastin and contributing antioxidant and hydrating properties. All of this helps to promote tissue healing by stimulating cell turnover.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is now being injected into the skin in the same manner as dermal fillers as well as being used topically along with micro-needling. You are an ideal candidate for PRP therapy if you have premature wrinkles, high levels of solar damage, or anyone who wants an even tone and fresher appearance to their skin.
When PRP is placed back into the skin by injection, it initiates a localized stem cell response. Over the weeks and months following treatment, this stem cell response attracts collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts. The fibroblasts replace tissue that has been damaged or lost through the aging process with healthy skin that looks refreshed and rejuvenated.
PRP has become a promising method to assist in regenerating and repairing soft tissue that is damaged by trauma or is simply a less desirable characteristic.
PRP has also been found to help in removing damaged molecules in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skin and in stimulating creation of new collagen to support the structure, elasticity, and function of the skin.
Dr. Burkenstock has studied extensively with Ingrid B. Riedel, MD to perfect her techniques and help rejuvenate your appearance with platelet-rich plasma.
PRP can be used cosmetically to:
Some age-related concerns respond better to cosmetic PRP, while others respond better to hyaluronic acid, fillers, peels, or laser resurfacing techniques. The effects of all these treatments are enhanced by using them together. Women and men can benefit from cosmetic PRP.
Cosmetic PRP is a simple and safe procedure. Because the PRP is extracted from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission, allergic reaction, or immune reaction. PRP is an effective and natural way of harnessing the healing power of your own blood to help reverse the signs of aging.
PRP can be repeated, and better results are seen with a total of 2-3 treatments given 3-4 months apart. Patients can expect to see better results as they receive more treatments. With time, the results of PRP get better and better.
It’s nice to layer PRP with traditional fillers. If a patient has volume loss with a lot of fine lines and textural changes, Dr. Burkenstock will use PRP to create a new foundation of collagen and use dermal fillers for the fine lines.
