WHAT ARE

DERMAL FILLERS & NEUROTOXINS

Dermal fillers and Neurotoxins are popular treatments for our patients that want prominent results from a treatment that is minimally invasive and has no downtime. Both treatment options target wrinkles, offer natural looking results and are not a permanent alteration but thats basically where the similarities stop. Let's take a look at each treatment method and what might be the right choice for you:

​

NEUROTOXINS

• Reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles that appear during facial expressions by reducing the motion of the facial muscles.

• Results can take several days or weeks to fully present. 

• Neurotoxin injections smooth the signs of aging by relaxing underlying facial muscles, which can take years off the face’s appearance by reducing:

  • Frown lines

  • Crow’s feet

  • Other minor facial wrinkles

• If you clench your jaw or grind your teeth, neurotoxins can be injected to the masseter muscle which may result in improved TMJ symptoms and facial slimming in higher doses

• The "Lip Flip": Neurotoxin injections in the upper lip area help relax the muscles in the area, reduce wrinkles (smoker/straw lines), and can even help turn the upper lip up, creating a fuller, less “gummy” smile

​

DERMAL FILLERS

• Smooth static wrinkles that are present when your face is completely relaxed

• Results are immediate. Slight to moderate swelling can be expected for the first couple days after treatment

• Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that us with plump, smooth skin. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, dermal fillers can be an effective way to:

  • Plump thin lips and restore a youthful contour

  • Restore lost volume to cheeks and undereyes

  • Soften and smooth facial creases and wrinkles

  • Improve the appearance of recessed scars

​

The best way to determine which service is the right choice for your current skin type and condition, is to schedule a consultation with one of our skilled aestheticians.
