Botox & Fillers

Botox

Everyday facial expressions such as squinting, laughing, or frowning, are caused by the movement of underlying facial muscles. When repeated over many years, this motion can lead to permanent lines around the eyes and on the forehead. Unfortunately, this can lead to an angry, stressed or tired appearance, irrespective of the way you're feeling. And the more emotion you show, the deeper these wrinkles are likely to be.

What is Botox?

Botox is a FDA- approved purified protein that temporarily relaxes the treated muscles and decreases their ability to move, leading to a softer, more refreshed appearance. Compared to other treatment options, Botox is the only one that addresses the actual cause of your lines: the movement of the underlying muscles.

What results can I expect from Botox treatments?

Don't be fooled: there are no creams that provide results similar to or better than Botox. Within a few days of being treated, your skin will soften giving you a relaxed, more youthful appearance that can last up to 3 to 4 months.

What is the treatment like?

In a simple, 10-minute office procedure, small amounts of Botox are injected, with little to no discomfort, into the muscles around the eyes, on the forehead or in between the eyebrows, to give you a relaxed look. There is no downtime and, therefore no interruption to your daily schedule. Side effects are minimal and can include a temporary eyebrow or eyelid droop that resolve within a few weeks.

Who is a good candidate for Botox treatments?

If you want to look as good as you feel and you think your expression lines make you look older than you are, Botox may be the ideal treatment for you.

Botox treatments will not address texture changes or wrinkles due to aging or sun damage, and neither will it help sagging skin. However, it is an important part of a facial rejuvenation program that can include fillers, chemical peels, as well as FotoFacials and laser treatments.

Fillers

The aging process and sun exposure lead to a breakdown of the skin's collagen and elastic fibers as well as a decrease in their production. Over time, this can lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles which are aggravated by the facial expressions we make every day such as frowning, squinting, and smiling. Injectable fillers may be the best treatment option available to address these concerns. By filling in your lines and restoring the facial contour, you can achieve a younger, more rested appearance, thereby enhancing your existing features and defying age and gravity.

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is an FDA-approved filler that lasts longer than collagen and restores volume and fullness to the skin while simultaneously softening wrinkles. It is composed of hyaluronic acid, a water-loving sugar molecule naturally found in the human skin. This eliminates the need for a skin test prior to treatment. These characteristics make Juvederm one of the most exciting procedures on the market for baby boomers looking to maintain their youthful appearance.

What results can I expect from Juvederm treatments?

Juvederm is long-lasting and provides dramatic results for improving facial lines, wrinkles, and folds. It will soften nasolabial folds, depressed scars and even correct the downward turn evident at the corners of the mouth. It can also restore volume and fullness to lips that have receded, enhancing their shape and giving you a more sensuous look. The results are immediate, giving you a more youthful and invigorated appearance.

What is the treatment like?

Treatment with Juvederm is a simple office procedure that can be done within 30 minutes. The product is injected with a tiny needle to fill in wrinkles and folds. To optimize your comfort, a numbing cream or the anesthetic lidocaine may be needed. There is little downtime allowing you to return to your normal activities. The most common side effects are redness and swelling which can be minimized with the use of an ice pack and typically resolve within 1 to 2 days. Your lines are softer immediately but you may need a touch up treatment 2 to 4 weeks later for optimal results.
