Lines and Wrinkle Reduction

The first signs of aging are usually fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, cheeks, and lips. Most people develop at least a few wrinkles with age, but in some people, the wrinkles are noticeable, making them look older than they feel. If you have begun to notice some facial wrinkles and feel like they don’t represent the way you feel, then Botox might be a great option for you!

 

Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the country! More than 7 million people have Botox cosmetic procedures performed in the United States each year. Botox is a treatment that can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. It is a safe, effective, minimally-invasive procedure that is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.

 

Our Botox philosophy focuses on providing NATURAL-LOOKING results by using a conservative, “low and slow” approach. Our goal is not to make you look “botox-ed”! We prioritize patient education, and we always take the time to thoroughly explain how Botox works and discuss your individual Botox goals. We want you to feel confident, beautiful, and able to express yourself – but never frozen!

 

The use of Botox® can help significantly reduce signs of aging through the softening of facial lines and the relaxation of facial muscles. Botox is especially beneficial in reducing the unwanted lines on the upper half of the face, such as the “frown lines”, “crows’ feet”(around the eyes) and on the forehead. The benefits from a single Botox treatment can typically last for several months. While not as well known, Botox treatments can also be very effective for treating other conditions, such as excessive sweating in the underarms, palms and soles.

Wrinkle Prevention: How Does Botox Work?

Botox works by relaxing the underlying muscles in specific areas of the face. In the hands of a trained injector, they can specifically target parts of the face to allow for smaller, less noticeable muscle contractions. This treatment of the underlying muscles leads to a “softening” effect on the skin, which responds to the muscle movement underneath. Simply put: Because you are not aggressively folding your skin on itself, again and again, the lines begin to disappear as your skin has the ability to renew itself on a smoother surface, which leads to an overall improvement of the fine lines and wrinkles.

Jeuveau

What exactly is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau is a popular wrinkle treatment that is injected in the muscles that cause frown lines to form.

 

Jeuveau prevents your nerves from telling your muscles to flex or contract. This process smooths the appearance of “dynamic” frown lines.

 

The effects can last for up to 4 months while the muscle activity gradually returns.

 

Jeuveau is a prescription injectable treatment that works to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines in adults.

How does Jeuveau work?

When injected, Jeuveau temporarily prevents your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex. The result? 

In clinical trials, Jeuveau was shown to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. In US studies, 68% and 70% of Jeuveau patients had a 2-grade or better physician- and patient-rated improvement in frown lines at Day 30.

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus: Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

As we grow older, the fat, muscles, and skin of the face become thinner. There is a loss of volume due to a decrease in subcutaneous fat, giving the face a sunken, aged, and tired appearance. Sun damage and age-related changes in the skin lead to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and creases. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm can help correct these problems and restore a more youthful appearance to the face. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found in high concentrations in the skin. It is a hydrophilic substance, meaning it attracts water, thereby giving the skin a hydrated, plump, and smooth appearance. Juvederm is the brand name of a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It comes in various types. The effects of Juvederm treatments are visible immediately. 

What is Juvederm? How does it work?

As noted, Juvederm is a temporary dermal filler that contains a modified form of hyaluronic acid. It is a smooth gel-like substance that delivers volume to the skin. The Juvederm family consists of various products that are designed to address many of the common signs of aging, such as age-related volume loss and facial wrinkles. Juvederm products contain varying concentrations of hyaluronic acid to target specific problems in different areas of the face. Dermal fillers like Juvederm work by adding volume to the facial tissues. The active ingredient in Juvederm, hyaluronic acid (HA), is a natural substance that is found throughout the connective tissues of the body. It gives the skin a plump, smooth, hydrated appearance. HA also stimulates collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a structural protein that makes the skin appear smooth. With age, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases, leading to sagging and wrinkling. By stimulating collagen production, hyaluronic acid Juvederm fillers help restore the face to a more youthful appearance.

Target Areas: Where is Juvederm used?

Juvederm can be used in the cheeks, around the mouth and nose, and in and around the lips. The dermal filler injections can be placed at varying depths and locations to address specific problems.

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus: Similarities and Differences

Both Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are used to treat facial lines and wrinkles. However, Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker gel. Ultra Plus is, therefore, recommended for areas of the skin with deeper lines and greater volume loss, such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and smile lines. Juvederm Ultra, on the other hand, is a thinner and lighter gel, making it more appropriate for fine lines and wrinkles that are more superficial. Ultra is, therefore, recommended for injection around the eyes and lips. The availability of a range of products in the Juvederm family makes it possible for aesthetic providers to completely customize the treatment for a patient by matching the best product to the patient’s skin concerns. A combination of Juvederm filler products can be used to smoothen and fill out the face, creating a naturally beautiful and youthful look.

Juvederm Volbella

What is Juvederm Volbella? How does it work?

Volbella is a product from the Juvederm line of dermal fillers made by Allergan. It is a clear injectable gel that contains hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is found throughout the body’s connective tissues and is present in large quantities in the skin. What Volbella does is essentially replace lost volume and fills lines and wrinkles with a substance that is naturally found in the body. By injecting hyaluronic acid fillers like Volbella, our expert injectors can provide immediate correction of volume loss and lines around the lips with long-lasting effects. What’s more, since HA is a hydrophilic substance, it pulls moisture into the treated area, giving the skin a hydrated, smooth, youthful look.

Which parts of the face is Volbella used?

Volbella is thinner and finer compared to other fillers in the Juvederm family-like Voluma and Vollure. It is injected superficially to correct problems like prominent nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and fine lines around the mouth. Volbella is a versatile facial filler and can be used to subtly improve the appearance of the lips. It is especially effective in plumping the lips for a smoother, more hydrated look. It also adds definition to the lips. Volbella can help soften vertical lines (smoker’s lines) around the mouth.

 

If you have concerns in other areas of the face in addition to the lips, Volbella can be used in combination with other dermal fillers to provide complete facial rejuvenation. Our expert team of medical injectable specialists will discuss your goals with you and recommend the appropriate filler products.

Juvederm Vollure

What is Vollure? How does it work?

Juvederm Vollure is an injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler.  Vollure is a clear, smooth gel that contains hyaluronic acid, a hydrophilic (water-attracting) substance that is naturally present in abundant quantities in the body, especially in the skin. Juvederm Vollure is an FDA-approved filler. It is designed to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles, creases, and folds. Vollure is especially effective in correcting prominent nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corners of the mouth to the nose) as well as laugh lines or smile lines around the mouth. Nasolabial folds and laugh lines develop due to the repetitive movement of facial muscles near the mouth and can make the face look old and tired. Filler treatment with Vollure softens the appearance of these lines and creases and restores a more youthful appearance to the face.

What makes Vollure so special?

Vollure is different from other hyaluronic acid fillers because it is made with Vycross technology, which makes it more stable and prolongs its half-life (the half-life determines how quickly the filler is broken down by the body – a longer half-life means longer-lasting results from the filler treatment). Also, Vycross technology gives Vollure more fluidity, which means you get a more natural look and feel after the treatment. As a result of this innovative technology, Vollure hits the sweet spot between being firm enough to fill lines but supple enough to move naturally with facial expressions. Last but not least, Vycross fillers tend to absorb less water than other fillers, which means there is less swelling after the injections.

Juvederm Voluma

What is Voluma? How does it work?

Juvederm Voluma is an injectable dermal filler that is composed of hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is present throughout the body and in high concentrations in the skin. Voluma is an FDA-approved filler from the Juvederm family, which also includes other products like XC for the nasolabial folds and Ultra XC for the lips.

 

Juvederm Voluma is specially designed to restore lost volume in the cheek and chin areas. Injection treatment with Voluma instantly replaces the lost volume that occurs with age in the cheek area. Besides adding volume, the filler encourages collagen and elastin formation, helping to restore the face to a more youthful appearance. What’s more, since hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic substance (it attracts water), Voluma results tend to look better with time because the filler absorbs moisture and gives the skin a more hydrated, supple, smooth appearance.

Where is Juvederm Voluma used?

Voluma is a volumizing filler. It is injected deep into the skin, often at the level of the bone, in the cheek and chin area to increase volume and give the face more definition. Although the filler is placed in the upper cheeks, Voluma can help pull up the lower face as well, thereby improving the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC

JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC is the first and only FDA approved HA filler for improving moderate to severe loss of definition in the jawline.  It improves jawline definition that can last up to 1 year with optimal treatment.

 

The most common side effects were temporary reactions at the treatment site, such as tenderness, lumps/bumps, pain, swelling, firmness, bruising, redness, itching, and discoloration. These side effects were mild or moderate in nature and temporary with typical duration of 14 days or less.

Juvederm SkinVive

In the quest for youthful, radiant skin SkinVive® is a revolutionary skin booster product that restores your skin’s youthful glow, revitalizes and rejuvenates your skin from the inside. SkinVive microdroplet hyaluronic acid injections increase skin’s hydration, glow, improve texture, fine lines and overall appearance. SkinVive is suitable for any skin color or age.

Older men and women use this as a supercharged treatment for dry skin that has lost its shine and suppleness. No matter your age or skin condition, SkinVive can be a great appearance boosting treatment.

Understanding How Juvederm SkinVive Works:

SkinVive is formulated as a thin microdroplet injectable gel specifically for superficial injections in the skin of the face, neck, décolleté’ and hands.

 

Unlike traditional fillers that add volume to targeted areas, Juvederm SkinVive improves skin quality and appearance by targeting moisture enhancing proteins in the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid: The Key to Skin Hydration, Texture and Smoothness

Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, plays a pivotal role in maintaining hydration and suppleness. As we age, the body’s production of hyaluronic acid diminishes, leading to the onset of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume. Juvederm SkinVive leverages the power of hyaluronic acid by delivering it directly into the skin, replenishing depleted stores and restoring moisture balance resulting in more luminous, radiant skin. The unique cross-linking technology employed in Juvederm SkinVive ensures optimal integration with the skin’s natural structure, resulting in smooth, natural-looking results that last. Unlike other fillers, Juvederm SkinVive’s hyaluronic acid gel is specially formulated to mimic the body’s own hyaluronic acid, ensuring compatibility and it’s ability to boost your skin’s natural proteins that keep it hydrated. The process of increased hydration begins immediately following treatment, with noticeable improvements becoming increasingly apparent in the weeks and months that follow. With Juvederm SkinVive, the results are not only immediate but also progressive, offering a gradual transformation that evolves with each passing day.

Setting Juvederm SkinVive Apart: A Cut Above the Rest

What truly sets Juvederm SkinVive apart from regular fillers is its comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. While traditional fillers may provide enhancement by adding volume, Juvederm SkinVive addresses one of the underlying causes of aging, resulting in increased hydration and moisture in the skin. It is not a traditional filler used to add volume in areas of depletion, it is injected close to the surface of the skin throughout the face and neck to bring in moisture and rejuvenate the skin.

 

The true testament to the efficacy of Juvederm SkinVive lies in the transformative results it delivers. From smoother, more youthful-looking skin to enhanced facial contours and diminished fine lines, the benefits of Juvederm SkinVive extend far beyond surface-level enhancement.
