What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX®, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein. When injected under the skin in small amounts, it blocks chemical signals from the nerves that cause muscles to contract. This treatment temporarily softens wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming. BOTOX® is also used to treat over 20 different medical conditions, including chronic migraines and muscular disorders.

The History of BOTOX®

Botulinum toxin was first used to treat strabismus (cross-eyed) in 1978. In 1989, Allergan received FDA approval for therapeutic use of botulinum toxin A and branded it as BOTOX®. In 2002, the FDA cleared BOTOX® as an aesthetic treatment; today it remains the only FDA-approved product to treat moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.

These days, BOTOX® is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, having been approved for use in 98 countries. More than six million treatments are administered every year.

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.

When people think of reversing the aging process and starting the journey to a smoother, younger-looking face, they often think of Botox. While Botox can smooth wrinkles and make you look years younger, dermal fillers can address issues Botox can’t. Let’s talk dermal fillers. Dermal fillers lift and smooth deep wrinkles and folds by adding volume to the face for a fresher look.
As we age, natural collagen production decreases, making skin less elastic. Due to a lack of hyaluronic acid (HA) production, skin becomes drier, thinner, and less able to repair itself. Therefore, wrinkles and lines appear. The dermal filler injection procedure involves injecting gel that mimics your own naturally occurring HA through a tiny needle into the skin to add volume and freshness to the face.
There are many different types of fillers. Which one is best for you? Read on.

Juvederm Ultra

The softest dermal filler in the Juvederm family, Juvederm Ultra is injected into the dermis layer of the skin and used to treat mild to medium-depth wrinkles located from your nose to the corners of your mouth. It also smooths out depressed scars and enhances lips. Juvederm Ultra treatments are usually relatively painless and quick. This is the ideal treatment for anyone seeking to smooth mild to medium-depth wrinkles or plump areas with minor skin depression or fat loss. Results will last up to 12 months.

Juvederm Ultra Plus

Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker version of the Juvederm Ultra. It’s used to fill in depressed areas in the cheeks and correct deeper facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Ultra Plus is ideal for those looking to smooth deep folds and wrinkles or plump areas with deep skin depression or fat loss. Results usually last up to 12 months.

Volbella

Volbella is a blend of different molecular weights of HA that creates subtle, long-lasting volume. A member of the Juvederm family, Volbella is used to increase lip fullness and soften the appearance of lines around the mouth. Since it contains the thinnest, most spreadable gel, it is also used to fill in acne scarring on the face, and even smooth out the delicate under eye area. Volbella usually lasts up to 12 months.

Vollure

Vollure is the middle child of the Juvederm clan. It combines a perfect mix of spreadability and durability allowing for more natural facial expressions and movements after injection. It’s ideal for treating nasolabial folds and marionette lines as well as filling in moderate wrinkles and refreshing the lower part of the face. The treatment can last up to 18 months and has been found to be the longest-lasting dermal filler for nasolabial folds.

Voluma

The thickest and strongest gel of the Juvederm family, Voluma is ideal for deeper injections into the cheeks. It gives your face a nice lift and boost of supple volume. If you’re looking for a natural contour and a defined, youthful look, Voluma is for you. No downtime is needed after the injection and it can last up to two years.

Whether you’re suffering from a lack of collagen production, acne, or other effects of the aging process, dermal fillers can give you a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts.
