Injections: Botox/Xeomin & Filler
The Treatment
Botox/Xeomin involve a series of small intramuscular injections designed to weaken certain muscles that cause skin wrinkling. Weakening of the injected muscles begins to be apparent after 2-3 days with the peak effect being reached after 14 days. Results can last 2-5 months. The procedure can be repeated every 3-4 months; however injections given at a less than 3-month interval may not produce a noticeable effect.
Dermal Filler Injections (i.e. Radiesse, Belotero, Juvederm, Voluma) are used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth or shape facial contours. The fillers used have been FDA approved for the cosmetic treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and soft tissue depressions.
Normal occurrences during these procedures may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, skin redness, needle marks, skin lumpiness, visible tissue filler material, asymmetry, pain, and skin sensitivity.

Filler
Fillers are an extremely popular procedure because they are a safe, immediate, and effective method of rejuvenating the face and hands. There are a multitude of different fillers available, each unique in their application to improve the appearance of volume loss. Careful selection and injection of fillers treats both fine and deep wrinkles, hollowing, volume loss, and even scars. Fillers are also beneficial for enhancing or restoring fullness or contour of the lips and jaw.
