Botox, Restylane, Collagen

Are you feeling like your skin is looking tired, aged, and angry? Do you want a smoother, fresher, younger look without surgery? Then Advanced Dermatology can offer you a less invasive approach to a younger you. Our providers are highly skilled in the art of Botox, Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra.

Botox is an excellent way to relax the facial muscles that contribute to the wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows. With every facial expression the skin folds and furrows and with age you lose the elasticity of the skin, which then creates a wrinkle to form. Botox reduces this contraction by blocking the release of a chemical to allow for a smoother look. Botox is administered with only a few injections with little discomfort and no downtime. And with our experienced injectors you will have a natural more youthful appearance without affecting your ability to smile, laugh or show expression. Remember that Botox is excellent at treating those dynamic lines, the wrinkles you see with expression. Static lines are wrinkles that are visible when your muscles are at rest. These lines are best treated with a filler such as Restylane or Juvederm.

Restylane and Juvederm compose a class of fillers known as the Hyaluronic acids. Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in all living cells and is a major component of our skin. It attracts and maintains water, hydrating your skin and increasing volume and density. These dermal fillers will help add volume to those deeper wrinkles and folds and give you back the smooth contour of your youth. Restylane and Juvederm can be used to restore volume in the nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth), marionette lines (the lines that from the corner of your mouth downward), give volume to your lips, and smooth those static wrinkles.

Those who are looking to correct moderate to severe folds, add fullness to those hollowed, sunken areas and replenish lost facial volume need to consider Perlane, Radiesse or Sculptra. Perlane is a larger particle of hyaluronic acid designed to add volume to moderate to severe folds. Radiesse and Sculptra work to stimulate the production of your own collagen in a process called collagenesis. Radiesse works immediately adding volume to hollowed cheeks, nasolabial folds, and even contouring areas such as the nose, chin, and jawline. Sculptra can take a hollowed face and eyes and give a youthful fullness to the entire face.

Some call the combination of Botox and fillers the Liquid Facelift. These nonsurgical, nonpermanent procedures can take up to 10 years off your aging look without the risks of surgery. Set up your cosmetic consult today with one of our experienced providers to learn more.
