Facial Fillers Botox & Juvederm Injections Beverly Hills | Las Vegas
Facial dermal fillers are injectable treatments for aesthetic facial enhancement include botulinum toxin such as Botox® and soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm® and Restylane®. These nonsurgical procedures are an effective bridge for patients who may have begun to show some signs of aging but don’t yet want or need full cosmetic surgical procedures.
Dermal fillers may be appropriate for patients of almost any age who can benefit from additional facial volume (soft tissue fillers), or for patients undergoing facial surgery whose results can be further enhanced by adjunctive treatments.
Unlike cosmetic surgery, non-surgical facial fillers provide only temporary results and must be repeated periodically.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Dermal Fillers
One of the primary benefits is that treatments such as Botox and most dermal fillers require virtually no downtime or very little recovery. In addition, the risks associated with dermal fillers are generally less than those associated with surgery. Cost may be initially less than a surgical procedure, but patients must keep in mind that repeat treatments will add more expense over time.
Length of Injectable Procedures – Generally 10 to 45 minutes.
Anesthesia – Usually local anesthesia or topical numbing agent; seldom needed for Botox.
Recovery – Although there may be temporary bruising, swelling or redness, patients can generally return to normal activities immediately or within a few hours following treatment.
Neurotoxin Facial Fillers
Improving facial shape is simple when you use neurotoxin facial fillers such as BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®. While neurotoxins have been used to treat a variety of symptoms from chronic headaches to muscle spasms, in cosmetic treatments they help to temporarily block nerve receptors in the muscle preventing fine lines and wrinkles from forming. When administered by experienced cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Fodor, they offer therapeutic benefits in drastically reducing the appearance of small lines in the face.
BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® are all brand names for products in the neurotoxin facial filler family. The active neurotoxin is botulinum toxin type A which offers a predictable and lasting youthful appearance. Neurotoxins can be injected into various parts of the face but are most commonly applied to smooth out the lines around the eyes, such as crow’s feet, frown lines between the eyebrows, also called “11’s”, and the deeper lines running horizontally across the forehead. This is due to how neurotoxins can reduce facial muscle activity which gives a more youthful appearance than other regions of the face.
Hyaluronic Acid-Based Fillers
Restylane® and Juvederm® are the brand names for some of the most popular hyaluronic acid–based facial fillers used by cosmetic providers. They are often injected into various areas of the face to smooth wrinkles, enhance the fullness of cheeks and lips, and restore a youthful plump to your face. As hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our skin, particularly in connective tissues, it is considered a low risk injectable with predictable results.
