Botox and Dermal Fillers

A minimally invasive technology that can provide you the cosmetic treatment you are looking for is now available at our office. Botox and dermal fillers are a popular choice for enhancing the appearance of your face and reaching aesthetic goals for patients who suffer from fine lines or facial wrinkles. Botox comes in the form of purified bacteria. They work effectively in reducing facial lines caused due to muscular stress. Derma fillers add mass to skin tissues making them appear full and lively. These fillers can be applied to the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth.

What is Botox?

The magic of Botox originates from a toxin named Botulinum that is extracted from bacteria. Regulated amounts of Botox can help correct wrinkles and fine lines and it has been safely used in the industry for decades. It functions by blocking signals to the muscles - thereby slowing or stopping wrinkles from developing.

What can Botox do?

Botox can correct expression lines. They are usually found in the upper face, between brows, on the forehead, and obviously, around the eyes. Most expression lines are the result of smiling, frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions.

What are dermal fillers?

Derma fillers or soft tissue fillers are substances that add volume and fullness to the surface beneath which the filler was injected. Dermal fillers are made of several substances that are minerals found in bone, and in other fluids and tissues found in the body. They help plump the skin making it look more vibrant and fresh. They can help treat different signs of aging and cosmetic issues.

Derma fillers are skin-enhancing substances that are designed to treat various signs of aging. They can make your lips appear more full, fill in the shallow areas of your face, decrease signs of wrinkles under the eyes, diminish the look of scars, soften heavy wrinkle curves due to aging, etc. Loss of collagen and skin elasticity are the major causes of wrinkles in the face of the aging population.
