Sculptra, Juvederm, and Botox
Some wrinkles are caused by the action of facial muscles, and some by loss of elasticity of the skin. Most are a combination of both. The remedy which millions have chosen for these problems due to its ease and "overnight" results is the injection of Botox and/or one of the amazing new injectable substances available today. Botox nullifies the overactive muscles, and the fillers replace the lost collagen, whether deep or superficial, thus restoring the skin to it's original youthful appearance. The fillers on the market today are designed both for deep and superficial wrinkles and are not capable of inducing allergic reactions. They include Sculptra, touted as the closest injectable result to a surgical facelift, and Juvederm, which is also very useful for lip enhancement. Depending on your individual needs, Dr. Benson can design a plan using either Botox or an injectable, or both, to immediately erase problem wrinkles, frown lines, and especially deep lines around the mouth.Sculptra
Those of us in south Louisiana understand sinking foundations. Much of our real estate is gradually sinking into the Gulf of Mexico. The same thing happens to our facial real estate as we gradually lose youthful fat layers ("baby fat") and skin thickness. This results in hollowing of the cheeks and areas under the eyes, deepening of the "parentheses" lines around the mouth, and general loss of volume in other subtle but noticeable areas. The answer lies not in the Army Corp of Engineers, but rather with Sculptra. This unique substance, available strictly to only board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons, has changed the paradigm for the restoration of volume in facial skin. Painlessly injected, this naturally-occurring substance generates intense, long-lasting collagen formation in the deeper layers of the skin just above the fat. The sculpting process usually takes three sessions over several months, and the age defying result lasts two to four years! Sculptra is the closest thing to an injectable facelift.
Juvederm
Juvederm is a dermal filler that contains the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid. This remarkable acid, which is found in every living cell, is able to retain water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1000 times its weight. Juvederm is an excellent treatment for lip enhancements, facial and smile lines, deep folds, and facial contouring. Results are immediate and usually last ten months or longer.
Botox
Botox cosmetic is a natural, purified protein which in low does relaxes the overactive muscles that cause frown lines to form. When Botox is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse reaching that area, and as a result, the muscle weakens, the overlying skin relaxes, and the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear.The advantages of treating wrinkles with Botox are the following:
* Reduces or eliminates wrinkles without surgery
* Reduces horizontal creases in the forehead
* Reduces frown lines
* Minimizes the look of crows feet and laugh lines
Botox treatments do not affect normal facial expressions. Results usually last about four months.
