Botox is a neurotoxin that blocks transmission of nerve signals to muscles preventing them for contracting resulting in temporary reduction or resolution of moderate to severe wrinkles.
While Botox is the most popular neurotoxin, there are a few other neurotoxins that serve the same purpose, such as Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, which have slightly different chemical compositions, but can be used interchangeably with Botox.
To produce optimal results with injectables requires experience, skill, and a deep knowledge of the products.
Our highly experienced injectors have been trained by Allergan (makers of Botox) and Merz (makers of Xeomin). You will love your results!
The actual injection process usually takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Is the procedure painful?
Most people report minimal discomfort during the injection, often described as a quick pinch. You may request topical numbing cream to enhance comfort.
When will I see results?
Results typically start to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible around 2 weeks after treatment.
How long do the effects last?
The results of Botox generally last between 3 to 6 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns.
Are there any side-effects?
Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. More serious side effects are rare but can include headaches or drooping eyelids or eyebrows.
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, typically made of hyaluronic acid, that are used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and fine lines. Dermal fillers replenish this lost volume, providing a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Areas that can be treated with Fillers:
Radiesse is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Hyperdilute Radiesse involves diluting the traditional Radiesse filler with sterile salineThe diluted formula is then injected into broader areas of the skin, rather than being used for targeted volume replacement.
The diluted CaHA stimulates fibroblasts, which are cells that produce collagen and elastin. This increased collagen production leads to skin tightening, improved skin texture, and a more youthful appearance.
