BENEFITS OF COSMETIC INJECTIONS

Wrinkle Reduction

Wrinkle Reduction

Injectables can diminish or sometimes outright eliminate lines and wrinkles that appear on the face. Dermal fillers achieve this by adding fullness to loose skin. Botulinum toxin injectables temporarily freeze muscles that cause lines to appear on the face when making facial expressions. By immobilizing these muscles, the lines have an opportunity to fade from thinning skin. Lines that can be reduced with injectable treatments include frown lines, crow’s feet, horizontal brow lines, marionette lines and nasolabial folds.

Improved Fullness

Improved Fullness

With time, skin gets thinner and fat droops. This causes the face to lose its youthful volume. Dermal fillers counter this problem by rehydrating the skin with hyaluronic acid. They are a successful way to restore full cheeks, smooth out undereye bags and plump the lips.

Easy Treatment with No Downtime

Easy Treatment with No Downtime

Appointments for injections are brief and feature minimal discomfort. Best of all, patients may resume most normal activities, including work, as soon as they leave The Skin Care Center. Side effects are primarily limited to mild redness and bruising, making it almost impossible for other people to notice that a cosmetic procedure has been performed.

Types of Cosmetic Injectables

Botox

As facial skin thins, the indentations that form when certain expressions are made can linger for longer and longer. Botox uses botulinum toxin type A to freeze specific muscles that cause these lines. In the days (or weeks, for deeper-set lines) after the injection, these lines can gradually fade. Botox is most effective at diminishing lines on the upper portion of the face, like brow lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox lasts for about three to four months before subsequent injections are necessary to maintain the results.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a family of dermal fillers that uses hyaluronic acid to restore volume to the skin. In addition to adding fullness to areas where volume is attractive like the cheeks and lips, Juvederm helps minimize lines and creases that form due to skin laxity, especially lines on the lower portion of the face like marionette lines and nasolabial folds. The added volume is visible immediately, with results improving somewhat in the following weeks as new collagen is produced. Juvederm lasts for up to one year.

Restylane

Like Juvederm, Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid-based fillers that adds volume to the skin. It is an especially popular choice for adding fullness to the lips, cheeks and thinning skin on the hands. Restylane has a thinner consistency than other injectables, so it tends to be less expensive than other options. It also only lasts for about six months before further injections are required to maintain the results.

Radiesse

Instead of hyaluronic acid, Radiesse provides volume with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). Since it is thicker than other fillers, it is a good choice for filling in moderate to severe lines on the lower face. Results from Radiesse are immediate (improving gradually thanks to a boost in collagen) and tend to last a full year.

Cosmetic Injectable Costs

The total price for this cosmetic procedure depends on the type of injectable used and the amount of gel necessary to achieve the desired effects. During a consultation, our team discusses specific costs with the patient. Although cosmetic injections are not covered by health insurance plans, financing options are available through M-Lend Financial Services and CareCredit.
