Botox® & Juvéderm™
LIVE YOUNG LONGER
You’ll know that there are hundreds of expensive creams and lotions that promise to erase the signs of aging, but they typically don’t provide results. At Bardisa LYL Center, we provide you with dermal filler injectables, such as Botox® and Juvéderm™, that visibly minimize the signs of aging and help you achieve a bright and youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are a quick, relatively painless solution to wrinkles and folds. The benefits of Botox® and Juvéderm® include:
- Instantly smoother skin
- Minimally-invasive procedure
- Zero downtime
- Unshapely, thin lips
- Receding chin
- Minor nasal deformities
- Volume loss in the cheeks
- Deep nose to mouth lines, known as nasolabial folds or “parentheses”
Botox® Cosmetic
Botox® is a substance made from clostridium botulinum bacterium, a neurotoxin. Botox® works by blocking the nerve signals in muscles, causing them to relax. With multiple treatments the muscles can be trained to relax, causing the overall appearance of wrinkles to lessen.
Botox®, approved by the FDA, is completely non-surgical and minimally-invasive. Using a very fine needle, a small amount of Botox® is directly injected into particular muscles that control wrinkle-prone areas of the face.
Topical anesthetic and ice is available for sensitive areas.
The injections only take a moment, and depending on the number of areas being treated, a full procedure can be done in about 30 minutes. After your procedure, the full Botox® effect can be seen within a week.
Juvéderm™
Juvéderm™ is a dermal filler in the form of an injectable gel, made of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules. HA is a substance that is found naturally in the body’s joints, used for cushioning the bones. Juvéderm™ is the only FDA approved HA filler and results can last six months to a year.
Using a very fine needle, Juvéderm™ is injected under the skin’s surface. The gel fills unwanted hollows and wrinkles, or adds volume and fullness to cheekbones and lips. Juvéderm™ also contains lidocaine, a numbing agent, so there is little discomfort during treatment. The entire procedure usually takes an hour or less and requires little to no downtime.
Juvéderm™ is one of the longer lasting fillers available on the market, but patients will need to return for follow-up injections to maintain their results.
