What to Expect with Botox?
Both Dysport and Botox are cosmetic injectables known as neuromodulators. They are obtained from botulinum toxin, a toxin that temporarily freezes the muscle area where it’s injected to erase wrinkles and give lasting results. Botox and Dysport can be used to remove fine lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
At the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center, injections are painless, and an appointment will only take a few minutes. These treatments will help you look younger and less tired. For this reason, these neuromodulator treatments are the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure currently available in the United States.
Dysport and Botox will work best on dynamic wrinkles – the ones which result from repeated muscle movements. If your wrinkles occur due to facial volume loss that comes with aging, one might require an alternative treatment such as microneedling and dermal fillers. Dr. Skaggs creates multiple micro-injuries on the skin. These small injuries trigger the body to produce new elastin and collagen to support and smoothen your skin. Although it may take several months for new elastin and collagen to be produced fully, the result is natural-looking and long lasting.
What to Expect with Dermal Fillers?
Restylane and Juvéderm are dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a duplicate of the complex sugar that naturally occurs in your body. With aging, the hyaluronic acid levels reduce, thus triggering collagen reduction. This factor leaves one with reduced facial volume and can cause thin cheeks, lip thinning, and smile lines.
Aside from restoring the lost facial volume, dermal fillers also shape your face. Using dermal fillers, Dr. Skaggs can fill in the thin cheeks, smile lines, sagging lines at the corner of your lips, and any other lines or wrinkles that result from volume loss. The dermal fillers treatment will go for 6-24 months, depending on the filler used and the area to be treated. In most cases, the procedure will show fast results on the lips and slowest in the cheeks.
What to Expect with Microneedling?
Microneedling is similar to dermal fillers in that it’s a treatment for facial volume loss that comes with aging. But microneedling is a treatment solution that comes from inside the patient’s body.
Using the Collagen P.I.N device (made of numerous tiny needles), Dr. Skaggs creates multiple micro-injuries on the skin. These small injuries trigger the body to produce new elastin and collagen to support and smoothen your skin. Although it may take several months for new elastin and collagen to be produced fully, the result is natural-looking and long lasting.
