Anti Wrinkles:
Botox/Dysport/Javeau
The Benefits:
Reduces wrinkles and reverses the signs of aging by relaxing the muscles that cause facial lines to form.
Most Common Uses:
- Forehead Lines
- Crow’s Feet
- Frown Lines
- Smoker Lines
- Brow Lift
- TMJ/Jaw Pain
- Facial Slimming
- Sweat Reduction
What to Expect During and After Treatment:
During your appointment, Botox, Dysport, and/or Jeuveau will be administered in specific areas using a fine needle, causing minimal discomfort. The procedure typically lasts only a few minutes, with minimal aftercare required. Initial effects may become noticeable within a few days, reaching full effect within 14 days. While most patients experience results lasting 3-4 months, individual responses vary, particularly for those on stimulant medications, with high metabolism, or engaged in daily exercise.
Aftercare instructions include:
- Refraining from lying down for 6 hours post-treatment.
- Avoiding hats (if forehead treated)
- Abstaining from exercise or vigorous activity for 24 hours.
- Refraining from facial massage in the treated area for the same duration.
Determining whether this treatment is suitable for you depends on the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles at rest or during facial expressions. Early intervention often yields more effective results. However, treatment may be less effective if lines become deeply entrenched. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are not eligible for treatment due to potential unknown effects on the baby.
Dermal Filler Injections
As we reach our mid-twenties, the natural decline in facial collagen begins, progressively continuing with each passing decade. This gradual reduction in collagen and volume becomes increasingly apparent, prompting many to seek replenishment through filler treatments.
Dermal fillers harness hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to address facial lines and replenish lost volume and fullness. Factors such as aging, sun exposure, genetics, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle choices contribute to the depletion of facial volume, making fillers a popular choice for rejuvenation. While there’s no definitive “right” time to commence filler usage, starting at a younger age often yields subtler and more natural results.
These fillers serve various cosmetic purposes, including enhancing lip volume, refining facial contours, smoothing wrinkles and creases, minimizing the appearance of scars, and restoring facial volume.
Most Common Uses
– Nasolabial Folds
– Cheeks
– Under Eyes
– Jawline
– Lips
– Marionette Lines
– Temples
– Hands
– Neck
What to Expect Before, During and After Treatment
To minimize the risk of bruising, I recommend refraining from alcohol, aspirin products (unless prescribed by a doctor), and Omega-3 supplements (such as fish oil) for two weeks prior to treatment. It’s advisable to avoid dental work for two weeks before and vaccinations for 2-4 weeks before and after treatment. During your appointment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the injection sites for comfort. Once numbed, I will administer the dermal filler using a small needle. Most fillers contain lidocaine to further numb the area. Though side effects like bruising, swelling, and tenderness are rare, they can occur and typically resolve post-treatment. Applying ice packs can alleviate discomfort and swelling immediately afterward. The longevity of filler varies from 6 months to 2 years, influenced by factors such as filler type, injection area, medications, metabolism, and lifestyle habits.
Aftercare
Refrain from exercise or vigorous activity for 2-3 days following treatment or until swelling has completely diminished.
- You may resume exercise or vigorous activity after 2-3 days following treatment or once swelling has fully subsided.
- Avoid massaging the treated area for 3 days post-treatment.
- It is advisable to abstain from airplane travel for 2 weeks following your treatment.
- Sleep with your head elevated on several pillows for 2-3 nights after treatment.
Determining whether this treatment is suitable for you will be discussed during our consultation. I will determine which dermal filler will offer the most favorable outcome for your concerns. Early intervention often yields more effective results. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are not eligible for treatment due to potential unknown effects on the baby.
