Dermal Fillers
There are many different types of fillers. As we age, we lose the integrity of collagen and elasticity in our skin, resulting in loss of volume and fullness in our face. Facial fillers are a non-surgical way to restore and replace lost volume secondary to aging. Specific areas where we notice these changes in are the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips. Other uses for fillers include enhancing shallow contours, plumping and smoothing lips, and enhancing the appearance of scars.
Facial fillers tend to have a “moisturizing” effect and are often used in combination with neurotoxins for optimal results, leaving your skin tighter, brighter, and fuller, allowing for a beautiful and natural appearing result.
NEUROTOXINS AKA BOTOX
HOW DO NEUROTOXINS WORK?
Wrinkle relaxers temporarily relax the muscles of the face that contract and causes wrinkling.
Neurotoxins work by preventing the release of signals (acetylcholine) from the nerves to muscles. As a result, muscle contraction is inhibited, and our muscles from our facial expressions are given the freedom to relax and soften.
The most commonly injected areas are the forehead lines, vertical lines between the eyes, “crow’s feet” around the eyes, sagging eyelids, chin dimples, and vertical lip lines.
The effects of neurotoxins last up to 3-4 months.
