Forget the Facelift: Learn How Botox and Fillers Can Make You Look Years Younger Without Surgery
Have you noticed new fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, and forehead? Do you wish you could turn back the hands of time? Not too long ago, if you wanted a more youthful appearance, a surgical facelift was your only option.
Now modern medicine can take years off your appearance without surgery. Botox® and dermal fillers are two great treatment options that can remove a decade of wear and tear from your face.Botoxtreats the upper part of your face anddermal fillerstreat your cheeks and the lower half of your face.
Sherri Casey, MD, atNorthshore Skincareadministers Botox and dermal fillers regularly to many of her patients. Having a more youthful appearance can boost self-confidence and self-esteem.
HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?
When you smile or frown, your facial muscles contract. Over the years, that movement is repeated millions of times, forming lines and grooves in your face. Dr. Casey injects Botox into specific muscles around your eyes and on your forehead. The Botox solution temporarily limits the movement in your facial muscles. Those lines become smoother almost overnight.
You’ll begin to see changes within24-48 hours. That’s a type of immediate gratification you’ll love.
HOW LONG WILL THE BOTOX EFFECTS LAST?
Botox isn’t a surgical treatment, so it’s not permanent, but you can expect your results to last anywhere from3-4months. Many celebrities and actors have standing Botox appointments as part of their skin care regimen. Experts say that havinglow-dose Botox injected regularly helps prevent those telltale signs of aging.
WHAT AREAS OF THE FACE DO JUVEDÉRM® FILLERS TREAT?
Dermal fillers are solutions that are injected under the skin that also smooth away signs of aging. Dr. Casey has selected theJuvedérm®suite of dermal fillers for her patients. These fillers containhyaluronic acid, a natural acid already inside your body that provides volume and hydration to your skin. There are several Juvedérm fillers targeted to specific areas of the face.
