Achieve Non-Surgical Wrinkle Relaxation with Injectables and Dermal Fillers at A Younger You!

Dermal Fillers and Neurotoxins are injectable substances that can help bring out a younger you. Both are exciting, anti-aging treatments that offer real results with little to no downtime necessary.

Many people confuse neurotoxins (BOTOX, Xeomin and Dysport) with dermal fillers (Bellafill, Restylane and Radiesse). Although they are both anti-aging treatments that involve injections, the two treatments are very different. Dermal Fillers enhance facial volume as a way of minimizing static lines and wrinkles, while neurotoxins reduce the activity of facial muscles to minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are those that are formed by underlying facial muscle contractions. Some examples are forehead wrinkles and those found between the eyebrows. Neurotoxins prevent the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the treated muscles. This prevents their contractions and creates a smooth area at the site of injection.

Hyaluronic acid is an important skin component that declines with age. Since its role in your skin is to provide hydration, its age-related decline leads to skin that gradually grows thinner and more susceptible to the formation of lines and wrinkles. A hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler (Restylane) can help replace the amount that you have lost due to the aging process and lead to a significant reduction in the prominence of static lines and wrinkles. Calcium hydroxylapatite is another type of dermal filler containing a substance that is commonly found in bones and teeth. One formulation contains the material enclosed within microspheres to enhance bioavailability. Like other types of dermal fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite dermal fillers (Radiesse) work by enhancing facial skin volume to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles. The right dermal filler for you will depend on several factors and can ultimately be determined during a consultation.
