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.

Don’t be afraid to show a bit of skin this summer, but make sure to protect it from harmful UV rays. That doesn’t mean you have to lather on the heavy foundation. Follow these summer skin care tips so you can show off your bare-faced, beautiful complexion all season long:

BOTOX®

If you’ve been squinting in the sun and are struggling with frown lines, crow’s feet, or deep forehead wrinkles, consider BOTOX®. This treatment only takes a few minutes and is performed by our highly skilled injection specialists. With BOTOX®, you won’t have to worry about those lines getting deeper.

Fillers

In the summer, your levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) may decrease the more you are in the sun. HA is a naturally occurring substance in your body that retains water, giving you plumper, softer, and smoother skin. Skip the highlighting and opt for a non-surgical face lift with our dermal fillers, which replace the HA you have lost over the years.

Facials

Whether you are in search of therapeutic relaxation or a fun date with your partner or friends, facials offer numerous health benefits. Facials detoxify the skin, promote blood circulation, lower stress, and treat acne.

• The Bella Classic Corrective and Gentlemen’s Executive™ defend against environmental aggressors, reduce imperfections, and feel amazing at the same time.
• Our specialized HydraFacial™ exfoliates to clear away imperfections like sun damage, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores, acne, brown spots, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. This four-in-one treatment uses a variety of revolutionary serums and is great for oily or acne-prone skin.

Microneedling

Microneedling is the perfect treatment for busy summer schedules. It’s quick and versatile, treating a variety of skin issues from hyperpigmentation and scars to sun damage and stretch marks. The more skin is exposed to the sun, the less collagen it produces. Microneedling increases the production of collagen, making your skin look and act younger. Best of all? It’s not just for the face; treatments can be applied to the neck, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

Medical Cosmetics

Our skin is the most exposed organ to harmful stressors during the summer. You should proactively defend your skin using high-grade medical cosmetics for your daily morning and evening routine.

• The SkinMedica® aesthetic product line includes repairing creams and sunscreen formulated to restore the skin and promote self-healing.
• iS Clinical® serums improve complexion and provide antioxidant protection.
• Colorescience®  offers non-chemical sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays throughout the day.
• Epionce® toners and cleansers keep your skin clean, refreshed, and clear of acne.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it absorbs up to 60 percent of what you put on it. At Belladerm MedSpa, we believe it deserves the best treatment. Our expert aestheticians can recommend the products and services that will fit your body and goals. Request an appointment or contact us to learn more.

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.
