Diminish lines, soften wrinkles, and look as young as you feel with Injectable Treatments.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to smooth away facial lines, facial sagging, and replenish lost volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our skin undergoes significant changes with loss of volume, movement of the fat pads under the cheeks, and even skeletal bone remodeling. Dermal fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid, a material that is naturally present in the skin, joints, and tissues of the body. Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in moisturizing the skin and maintaining skin elasticity. Dermal fillers help to restore volume loss associated with aging and restores the youthful appearance of the face and skin. The duration of the results vary depending on the area treated and type of filler used. Topical numbing creams are applied prior to the procedure for comfort. There is little to no downtime and results are noted immediately with optimal results present at 14 days following procedure. At The Aesthetics & Wellness Lab, our nurse injector will create a customized treatment plan with you to correct the volume loss while creating an overall beautiful, yet natural result.

Dermal fillers are used to:

  • Volumize Lips: Lip filler treatment can be used to fill in lines and provide hydration to the lips, create balance and symmetry, and subtly enhance the natural shape of the lip.

  • Restore Volume to the Cheeks: Filler is used to replace volume loss most commonly due to weight loss and aging. Cheek filler instantly adds volume beneath the surface of the skin to lift and contour the cheek. In addition, cheek filler helps to decrease sagging in the mid-face area, creating a more youthful appearance.

  • Reshape the Chin: Dermal fillers are often used as a non-surgical option to reshape the chin. This can improve your side profile and create a balanced facial structure.

Sculptra

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved biostimulator that encourages your body to produce its own collagen. It reduces wrinkles and facial lines while creating a fuller, more youthful appearance to your face. Sculptra® is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic form of the natural lactic acid that is produced by the body. It works deep within the dermis to fill in lines and wrinkles, and stimulates your body to produce new collagen and underlying tissue which gradually restores the fullness and smooth texture to the areas of the face most affected by aging. Because Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator, it does not provide the filling action. Instead, it stimulates the skin to form new collagen, resulting in natural looking results. The results have a gradual onset that leads to continued improvements that last for up to 2 years. For ideal results, most people will require a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Wrinkle Relaxers

Neurotoxin treatments safely and effectively reduce wrinkles that have worsened over time by muscle contractions from facial expressions. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles which causes the skin to become smoother, diminishes lines, and softens wrinkles. Botox® is the most commonly known neurotoxin. Dysport®, Jeuveau (Newtox)®, and Xeomin® are also neurotoxins that are FDA approved for wrinkle reduction. At The Aesthetics & Wellness Lab, neurotoxins are used to treat the following conditions:

  • Forehead lines: smooths forehead lines and prevents new lines from forming.

  • Crow’s Feet: smooths fine lines around the outer corner of the eyes for a more alert, youthful appearance.

  • Eyebrow Lift: Neurotoxin is used to raise the eyebrow and open the eye area for a refreshed, rested, and younger appearance.

  • Frown Lines: Smooths the muscles between the eyes known as the “11 lines” that are present when you are frowning or concentrating.

  • Gummy Smile: Neurotoxin is used to relax the muscle above the lip which helps prevent the upper lip from lifting too far above the gums.

  • Lip Flip: Neurotoxin is injected in the muscle above the upper lip to relax the muscle allowing the lip to relax and curl outward, creating a poutier appearance.

  • Face slimming: Neurotoxin is injected into the masseter muscle to soften a square jaw, creating a more feminine silhouette in the lower face. This treatment also helps to alleviate the discomfort of TMJ or jaw clinching by relaxing the masseter muscle.

  • Hyperhydrosis: Neurotoxin is injected in the underarms and hands to decrease excessive sweating.

Neurotoxins are administered by injection to the targeted treatment area. The procedure takes about 15 minutes and there is no downtime. Optimal results are seen 14 days following the injections and the results can last up to 3 months.
