| Neuromodulators (Botox® , Dysport®)(All offices) |
Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that are caused by repetitive movements and facial expressions. Amongst the most common are the “eleven lines” between the eyebrows, horizontal lines across the forehead, and smiles lines or crow’s feet around the eye. Neuromodulators can be used to temporarily relax the muscles that create this motion, which can either prevent formation of wrinkles or prevent the worsening of noticeable dynamic wrinkles. Talk to your provider about your areas of concern to determine if neuromodulator injections are right for you.For more details regarding Botox , check here https://www.botoxcosmetic.com/what-is-botox-cosmeticFor more details regarding Dysport : https://www.dysportusa.com/ |

| DERMAL FILLERS (Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra)(All offices) |
With age, the skin loses elasticity due to decreased production of collagen and elastin, the cellular turnover rate decreases and causes skin to appear more dull. These changes result in the formation of fine lines. In later years, fat, muscle, and bone loss in the face leads to a noticeable overall volume loss causing deeper wrinkles and ‘sagging’. Injectable fillers can be used to replace some of this volume loss and improve the appearance of deep wrinkles. It is typically recommended that fillers are used in conjunction with other modalities such as tissue- tightening lasers and neuromodulators to increase the product’s longevity. Discuss your concerns with your provider to determine an optimal treatment plan. |
