Sculptra, Juvederm, and Botox at QnA in Ponchatoula, Louisiana

Some wrinkles are caused by the action of facial muscles and others by loss of elasticity of the skin. Most wrinkles are a combination of both. The remedies that millions choose for facial wrinkles and creases are Botox, Sculptra, and Juvederm. Whether one or a combination of these amazing injectable substances is used, patients are thrilled with the ease, "overnight" result, and long term benefit of these injectable treatments.

Botox nullifies overactive muscles, and fillers replace lost collagen—whether deep or superficial—to restore the skin to its more youthful appearance. The fillers on the market today are designed for both deep and superficial wrinkles and do not induce allergic reactions. Sculptra, touted as the closest injectable result to a surgical facelift, is a long-acting, collagen-stimulating dermal filler. Juvederm, which is used for lip enhancement as well as softening of the nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth, contains hyaluronic acid, a natural complex sugar found in all living cells. Depending on your individual needs, Dr. Robert Benson will customize a treatment using Botox, an injectable, or both, to immediately erase problem wrinkles, frown lines, and 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 decreasing 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 only to board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons, has changed the paradigm for the restoration of volume in facial skin. With only minimal discomfort during the injection process, 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 two to three sessions over several months, and the age defying result lasts two to four years! Sculptra truly 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 that 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:
  • Reduces or eliminates wrinkles without surgery
  • Reduces horizontal creases in the forehead
  • Reduces frown lines
  • Minimizes the look of crow’s feet and laugh lines
Botox treatments do not affect normal facial expressions. Results usually last about four months.
