When it comes to anti-aging treatments, many people have experienced how BOTOX® can smooth fine wrinkles and make you look years younger.  Dermal fillers can address what Botox can’t!!

As you age, sun damage and other factors can reduce the amount of HA (hyaluronic acid) in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume – creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds, like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth. Dermal fillers can give a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts and are being used to reduce or eliminate deeper wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment. It’s made of a protein called botulinum toxin, which blocks certain nerves to relax the facial muscles. By relaxing muscle activity, BOTOX® smooths crow’s feet, frown lines, and eye/forehead wrinkles. BOTOX® can last from three to four months, depending on the treatment.

What are fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectables often made of hyaluronic acid that plumps the skin to fill in lines and smooth out creases. Filler injections are used to treat nasolabial folds, increase lip fullness, and restore volume to the cheeks. Fillers can last from six to 18 months, depending on the area of application.

How do BOTOX® and fillers work together?

BOTOX® and fillers are two types of injectables made of substances that affect the body in different ways. When used at the same time, they complement each other. According to a scholarly review in the Dermatologic Therapy journal, the combined use of BOTOX® and dermal fillers will increase tissue-dwelling time for injectables. Without BOTOX®, fillers don’t last as long because the body absorbs the substance over time. The more active and animated the face, the sooner fillers disappear. BOTOX® reduces muscle movement so fillers are less likely to break down as quickly. Combined treatment addresses multiple facial features at once and offers a more complete, longer-lasting facial lift.

Where can I find BOTOX® and filler combination treatments?

As a Diamond Level Provider for Allergan, with highly trained injection specialists, Belladerm MedSpa offers BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® in a number of combination treatments, depending on the specific needs of the client.

Now through May 31, 2019, we are offering a Beauty in a Box special. Get 20 units of BOTOX® and one syringe of JUVÉDERM® for $725 (regularly $850). Request an appointment for your free consultation. Contact us for more information.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP treatment, has become one of the most popular and effective skin rejuvenation methods in recent years. Often referred to as the vampire facial, PRP treatment uses your body’s own growth factors to achieve younger, smoother, and healthier skin. Read on for the benefits of PRP treatment.

What is Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP treatment is the process of inserting small amounts of concentrated plasma from your own blood into your skin via multiple small injections around your face. This stimulates rapid skin repair and induces collagen replacement. PRP treatment is widely known in the medical field, for healing injuries such as arthritis, tendinitis, ACL injuries, tennis elbow, and more.

The Platelet-rich Plasma Process

The first step of PRP therapy is to draw the patient’s blood. The next step is to isolate the platelets from the blood and then inject the platelet-rich material back into the area that is being treated to encourage new cell growth. Belladerm MedSpa combines this PRP therapy with micro-needling to achieve even greater, quicker, and more visible results. The addition of micro-needling triggers your body to heal itself without any foreign substances. The skin will safely repair itself by producing more collagen.

The Benefits of PRP Treatment

Au Natural

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is completely natural. You’re using your body’s own growth factors to stimulate an already natural process of skin restoration. No foreign substances or chemicals are injected into your face, side effects are limited, and there is little to no downtime after the treatment.

Revitalization

PRP treatment repairs damaged skin and imperfections including acne scars, sun spots, melasma, stretch marks, and wrinkles. Therefore, also improving skin texture. If that’s not premier revitalization, we don’t know what is.

Little to No Pain

Since we use a topical numbing cream and the process of micro-needling only affects the top layer of your skin, there is little to no pain during and after the treatment. Many customers even say the experience is comfortable and relaxing.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a highly effective treatment with nearly no negative side effects. Why not try something that will benefit your skin’s health and therefore help rid it of imperfections at the same time?
