Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins, such as Botox, Xeomin, etc., are prescription medicines that are injected
into muscles. The most common use is to temporarily improve the look of moderate to
severe forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The best
time to start injectables is when wrinkles first appear. Neurotoxins can also be used to
treat "gummy smiles".
Dermal fillers are a long-lasting, non-surgical option to reduce the appearance of
wrinkles and correct facial volume loss. Fillers add volume beneath the skin where
collagen and other tissue have been depleted.
Kybella is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called "double chin."
One of the most significant advantages of Kybella injections is that the fat removal results of the treatment will last a lifetime. Individual physiologies vary, but most adults stop being able to grow new fat cells when they reach the age of 25.
To achieve the desired results, two to four treatments may be needed. Noticeable results may appear in about six weeks following your final treatment. Your skin continues to improve for about six months.
The injectable for you will depend upon your personal needs, goals, and lifestyle. Our aesthetician will recommend the best option.
