Neurotoxins such as Xeomin and Botox injections are designed to relax specific muscles in your face and limit their ability to contract. Therefore, preventing wrinkles from developing. These treatments can additionally be used to lift eyebrows and corners of the mouth, smooth the appearance of existing lines, help with migraines and jaw pain, and improve your jawline by treating neck bands that pull the face in a downward motion.

Facial fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid (Versa, Juvederm, Voluma) or Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) molecules that are used to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and creases in the face. They can also be used to add volume and contour the cheeks, jawline, temple hollows, and chin. Additionally, Radiesse is a bio-stimulator, meaning it aids your body in stimulating collagen. The duration of most fillers is about 10 months to 1 year. However, fillers that are placed in areas of a lot of movement (such as lips and around the mouth) tend to breakdown faster and require treatments with more frequency. The number of syringes required for your desired results vary on several factors such as amount of volume loss, genetics, previous treatment history and your metabolism. Below is a general guideline for the number of syringes that are required for the most common treatment areas.
1-3 syringes for lips
1-2 syringes for smile lines (nasolabial folds)
1-2 syringes for marrionette lines
1-2 syringes per cheek
2-4 syringes for jaw line
1-3 syringes for chin
1-2 syringes for temple hollowing

There are multiple ways to pamper and treat our skin. One of my favorite treatments is to use injectable fillers to treat our skin without adding volume to our faces. Using bio-stimulating and hydrating fillers can help skin that is thinning develop more collagen and elastin therefore, thickening our skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, these treatments can enhance hydration and luminosity giving us that glowing, youthful appearance we all desire.

Injectables aren't just for our faces. They can be used to stimulate collagen in the common areas that our skin begins to loose elasticity and hydration such as our necks, chest, and arms. Additionally, we can use them to enhance and shape the buttocks and hips without all of the downtime and risks involved with surgical procedures. Another area that is often forgotten is our hands. Fillers can restore our hands by promoting collagen, improving their texture, adding volume and masking their veiny appearance.
