Crow’s feet, elevens, smile lines. When you look in the mirror, you may see these signs of aging on your face. As we age, our skin loses its youthful elasticity. Environmental factors like UV exposure or pollution can lead to wrinkles on your skin. Lifestyle choices like tanning, smoking, or diet can speed up the aging process. You can spend hundreds of dollars on creams and serums that promise to moisturize and tighten your skin. With expensive skin care products, you may not see results for weeks or months. At Aesthetics 360 Lash & MedSpa, our line of injectables offer quick and long-lasting results. Contact us to find out how Botox and Jeuveau can help you look and feel younger.
How Do Injectables Work?
When you smile, frown, or squint, your facial muscles contract and cause the skin to fold or crease. Over time, these muscle contractions lead to wrinkles in your skin. These wrinkles age your face and can make you look tired or angry. Unlike facial creams that work on the surface of the skin, injectables work under the skin in the muscles.
Many patients come to our office asking about Botox for their fine lines and wrinkles. The FDA approved Botox to treat moderate to severe wrinkles, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.
During your treatment session, our Nurse Injector will inject Botox into the muscle that is causing the crease. You may feel a slight pinch during the treatment. The muscle will relax, which eliminates the wrinkle temporarily. You can go back to work and resume normal activities right after the appointment. You may notice a difference in your appearance within 24 to 48 hours after the injection. You’ll see the full results after approximately 30 days. Results may last up to six months.
Commonly referred to as Newtox, Jeuveau is another injectable used to treat the signs of aging. Like Botox, Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injection that relaxes the wrinkles under the skin. Jeuveau is a great option for treating glabellar lines, the deep vertical forehead creases known as elevens. Before any injectable treatment, you’ll meet with our team to discuss your treatment goals. We’ll formulate a treatment plan and schedule your first session.
During the treatment session, we’ll remove any makeup to ensure a clean treatment area. Then, our Nurse Injector will inject Jeuveau into the muscles creating the glabellar lines. The full treatment may include several small injections. Most patients report feeling a small pinch during each injection. The whole procedure takes approximately 15 minutes. Some patients see results right away, and you can see the full effect of Jeuveau within a week. Like Botox, this injection requires no downtime. Jeuveau is a great choice for a lunchtime refresh because you can go right back to work. The medication lasts for several months. Many patients choose another round of treatment after at least three months.
What Injectable Is Right for Me?
Several factors determine which injectable is right for you. The first factor is the treatment area. During your consultation with our Nurse, we’ll discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan. If you are interested in treating crow’s feet or smile lines, then you may be a good candidate for Botox. For patients looking to reduce moderate to severe frown lines, then Botox or Jeuveau will minimize these lines.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are great for correcting moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and skin folds, increasing fullness of lips, cheeks, chin, under-eye hollows, jawline, and back of the hand, and restoring facial fat loss and correcting acne scars on the cheek.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP injections can treat fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes or full face for optimal rejuvenation. By stimulating new collagen production, platelet-rich plasma helps tighten loose skin around the face and eyes to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Smooth Threads
Smooth threads are a skin booster. They tighten and smooth the skin helping to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and build collagen and other structural proteins in the skin.
Jeuveau / Botox
Used to temporarily reduce frown lines, smile lines, crow's feet, forehead lines and excessive sweating.
Kybella
Injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile and fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness.
Lip Flip
A lip flip uses neuromodulators, such as Botox or Jeuveau, to relax a muscle in the upper lip, causing the lip to "flip" and giving the appearance of a fuller upper lip. No more disappearing Lip when you smile!
Gummy Smile Correction
Want a less Gummy Smile? Fix it with Botox or Jeuveau to prevent the elevator muscles located in the area of your lip and nose from lifting your upper lip too high above your teeth.
Research shows that patients who chose Botox or Jeuveau experience high levels of satisfaction after the procedure. Patients report feeling more confidence in their appearance.
