Injectables and fillers are used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles in men and women. Injections are considered to be non-invasive procedures, which continue to grow in popularity in Americans who want to dramatically improve their appearance without undergoing actual surgery. BOTOX injections are currently the number one most popular non-surgical procedure, while hyaluronic acid injections are the second most popular type of non-surgical procedure. While BOTOX and dermal fillers work in different ways, each of these treatments is effective in treating wrinkles and helping patients look years younger.

BOTOX and Dysport Injections

BOTOX and Dysport injections use a solution that paralyzes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. About two to three days after the BOTOX Cosmetic or Dysport has been injected, results become apparent and can last for up to six months. BOTOX Cosmetic has been on the market for years, but Dysport is a newer injectable. Many plastic surgeons and dermatologists report that Dysport offers results that are similar to those offered by BOTOX injections

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, and Radiesse are hyaluronic acid based fillers that restore volume in facial lines and wrinkles. Other fillers include collagen, Sculptra, Artefill, Captique, Elevess, and a range of others. Each type of filler is effective in filling in crow’s feet, marionette lines, laugh lines, brow lines, and other wrinkles. Most dermal fillers last for about three to six months, while others such as Radiesse can last for up to one year. Doctors recommend that patients use a filler that lasts for a shorter period of time before having Radiesse injected to ensure that the patient is satisfied with the results.

BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and dermal fillers are all safe and effective wrinkle treatments that can dramatically minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Whether your goal is to look years younger or just different, this type of noninvasive technique can do the job quickly. One of the most popular dermal fillers is Restylane, which is perfect for both facial contouring and eliminating fine lines.

Restylane injections are often used to reverse the appearance of the most common effects of aging on your skin. Wrinkles, folds, and fine lines were likely not present on your face when you were younger, and today’s technology allows for them to be eliminated no matter your age. A simple Restylane injection can also cover any old acne scars, and best of all, no surgery is required. If you think that the answer to your skin problems could be Restylane injections, Arrowhead is the place to come for quality treatment.

Perhaps you do not struggle with the effects of aging, but instead want a few parts of your face to appear fuller. Restylane injections can fill in the area around your chin, cheekbones, or under your eyes. Additionally, this treatment offers you the chance to finally have fuller lips, as the solution can be injected into the area simply using a needle. Results can be seen within a few days.

One of the advantages of Restylane injections that set them apart from some other dermal fillers is that they are made of a natural solution. Restylane contains hyaluronic acid, which is already found in your body. Once the substance is injected, it binds with water, which adds volume to the area immediately. Not only are the results usually realized within days, but there is also no risk of allergic reaction since the substance is naturally occurring. Restylane will automatically be absorbed into the body after about six months, at which time you may choose to get a touchup. If you have any questions about Restylane injections, please contact us and setup a consultation with me, Dr. Maltais, at Physician Skin Solutions at Arrowhead.
