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.

CoolSculpting is the latest craze for body contouring and Belladerm is hosting a special event this month!  You no longer have to put up with that stubborn fat that no amount of workouts will get rid of! The buzz over this relatively new treatment has been increasing every month. Information is rapidly being shared and CoolSculpting rave reviews are splashed all over in various forms of media right now. Why are people so excited about it?
CoolSculpting provides stellar results without going under the knife. Instead, the fat cells are frozen and your body eliminates the destroyed cells over the course of several weeks. CoolSculpting works by pulling the skin between two panels, so you’ll likely feel a mild tingling or slight tugging of the skin, along with a cooling sensation. Any discomfort should be minimal. You can rest assured knowing that it is FDA-cleared and was developed by Harvard scientists using patented fat-freezing technology.
Are you a candidate? CoolSculpting is a good choice for individuals who are within 15 to 20 pounds of their ideal weight and who already exercise and follow a healthy diet. We’d like to invite you to our CoolSculpting Consult Day coming up on Tuesday, June 21st. Call ahead (763-494-9905) to secure your personal appointment with Robin or Amy and our CoolSculpting Rep. This will be a helpful consult to discuss your CoolSculpting choices and to find out how it will specifically benefit YOU and help you to reach your goals. You will not have the treatment done on this day, just complete your consultation and make your purchase for treatment on a future date. We’re looking forward to seeing you and helping you reach your goals for 2016! For more information on CoolSculpting, click here.

You may have heard it before, 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40. This is much more that a new frame of mind, its about your visual age verses your chronological age. You do not have to look your age anymore – with safe and effective nonsurgical cosmetic procedures you can look years younger. And you can do it with little to no down with these three non-surgical ways to rejuvenate your face this summer.

1. BOTOX® / Dysport® 

   BOTOX® is one of the most recent and most exciting advances for treatment of wrinkles, lines, and the aging face. BOTOX® is a highly purified, naturally occurring protein which has the ability to very precisely relax the muscles to which it is applied. This relaxation lasts for a number of months, and then the treated muscles gradually return to their original condition. BOTOX® does not affect the nerves responsible for sensation, so there is no numbness in the treated areas. This is done in a way that will not alter your natural expression and features. It takes just a few minutes and normally lasts about 3-4 months.

2. Dermal Fillers and Injectables

   Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvéderm® and Radiesse® are being used more and more to help reverse the changes associated with aging. 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. The goal is to return the dermis to its original youthful state. Dermal fillers can give a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts and are being used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss. When scheduling your appointment make sure your calendar allows for the possibility of swelling for 3-5 days (especially the first treatment). Visit the Juvéderm® site to view before and after images.
