Botox
Wrinkles are caused by contractions of your underlying facial
muscles when you smile, laugh or frown. The more emotion
you show, the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to
be. While you may have earned every one of your worry
lines, their appearance can be dramatically softened. The
procedure, known as Cosmetic Denervation, uses Botox®
injections to improve the appearance of worry lines, frown
lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet and similar wrinkles.
Fillers
Facial wrinkles and creases begin to appear as underlying
collagen and elastin fibers break down and wear out. While
part of the natural aging process, it can also result from
excessive squinting, frowning and smiling. Until recently, the
most frequently used material for filling facial wrinkles and
frown lines was injectable collagen. However, some patients
may experience an allergic reaction to collagen injections.
Alternatives exist that can help alleviate your fear of an allergic
reaction. Known as Restylane® and Juvederm®, they have been
used in Europe for years. They are injected underneath the skin and
can be used to smooth out deep lines and add volume to lips.
Mesotherapy/Lipodissolve
Many people have localized fat deposits that are resistant to
both diet and exercise. Mesotherapy is a practice of injecting
a naturally occurring detergent into these deposits allowing
them to be broken down and eliminated naturally. This process
was originally developed in Brazil and quickly adopted in
Europe and has been in use in the US for over seven years.
There are many areas that this therapy can be very effective
in helping shape and tone these stubborn deposits, including
double chin, abdomen, outer thighs and even cellulite.
