BOTOX® Cosmetic and Fillers
Aging can cause the skin to lose collagen and volume, which can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and other facial imperfections. Repetitive muscle movements can also leave permanent creases in the skin that produce an aged or upset appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM® products can minimize signs of aging on the surface of the skin and deliver natural-looking rejuvenation.
Fillers made of hyaluronic acid can fill grooves in the midface, smooth facial creases, and enhance facial definition.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is designed to reduce muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, producing a younger and more pleasing aesthetic. During your consultation, our experienced injector, Grace Vershinina, will assess your condition and develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique cosmetic goals.
Reasons to Consider BOTOX® Cosmetic and Fillers
Volume Loss
One of the most visible indicators of aging is the loss or displacement of facial volume. Sunken cheeks and pronounced creases can contribute to a displeasing and aged appearance. Fillers can restore volume to cheeks and deep wrinkles to produce a plump and more youthful surface.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Over time, the skin begins to lose collagen and elasticity, resulting in the development of creases throughout the face. Fillers target fine lines and wrinkles by replenishing the body’s supply of hyaluronic acid, and BOTOX® Cosmetic can halt repetitive muscle contractions that cause wrinkles.
Poor Skin Texture
Acne, congenital conditions, and trauma can leave bothersome scars and other textural imperfections on the skin. Fillers can improve scarred or recessed areas of the face without the need for surgery, creating a smoother and more attractive surface that can be enjoyed instantly.
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Fillers Options
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic softens the appearance of crow’s feet and frown lines between the eyebrows, resulting in a more youthful aesthetic. By temporarily preventing the specific muscle movements that cause these creases, BOTOX® Cosmetic produces conservative effects that last up to four months. Treatment takes only 10 minutes, and improvement is noticeable within 24 to 48 hours of injection.
JUVÉDERM® XC
JUVÉDERM® XC is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body to hydrate and plump the skin. This product is appropriate for treating moderate and severe facial creases and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Results from JUVÉDERM® XC treatment are noticeable immediately and can last up to 12 months.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is a hyaluronic acid filler that is injected into the cheeks to replenish youthful volume. This product can lift and augment cheeks that have recessed over time for instant facial rejuvenation and definition. The natural-looking results from JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC appear immediately and can last as long as two years.
JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC
Similar to JUVÉDERM® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC is designed to smooth wrinkles around the nose and mouth. However, the unique JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC formula allows it to treat deeper, more severe creases. Results are immediately visible and can last as long as 18 months.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is an injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid. It is used to smooth fine lines around the lips (“lipstick lines”) and add subtle lip volume for patients 21 years and older. Results can be seen immediately and can last up to a year.
KYBELLA®
Used to treat submental fullness, or excess fat below the chin, KYBELLA® is made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body to break down dietary fats. Multiple treatments may be needed, but patients typically start to see final results in four to six weeks. Fat cells under the chin are destroyed permanently, so further treatment should not be needed once your aesthetic goal is reached.
