Advanced Skin Care specializes in BOTOX®, Xeomin and Dysport treatments that address these concerns and more. Made from a purified protein, these neurotoxins relax the muscles, effectively smoothing and minimizing frown lines in the forehead area, crow’s feet and neck wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are injectables made with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in your body responsible for keeping your skin hydrated and plump. Injecting the gel-like substance into targeted areas in the face adds volume under the skin, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to smoothing the skin, dermal fillers can also be applied to improve facial symmetry, add volume to sunken, hollow cheeks and temples, contour the face and fill acne scars.

During your dermal filler treatment, the targeted area is thoroughly cleaned and then a topical anesthetic is applied, if needed. Many dermal injectables contain lidocaine, a local numbing medication, which helps to reduce discomfort during the treatment. During the treatment, you may experience a very mild pinching or pressure sensation while the product is injected. Next, your medical provider will inject a precise amount of dermal filler into the targeted area under the skin.

To maximize results, using medical-grade skincare products, such as Avene Glytone or Alastin, may be recommended post-treatment.

Dermal filler treatments are unique and tailored to the individual. With so many dermal treatment options on the market, selecting the right one for your needs may seem challenging. This is why it is important to partner with an experienced medical provider who can evaluate your specific aesthetic goals. During your complimentary dermal filler consultation, our providers will carefully evaluate your needs to determine which dermal filler is best to deliver your desired results.

Fillers that are FDA approved are generally considered safe. Side effects to dermal fillers are mild and injection-site related. You may experience short-term bruising and swelling, but this will subside after a couple of days following the treatment.

Appointments typically last between thirty minutes to an hour. Patients can return to their normal daily activities after the treatment.

Dermal fillers are a quick, easy treatment with little downtime involved. You can easily come in on your lunch hour and then continue on with the rest of your day.

Results of dermal fillers depend on the type of dermal filler used and area treated, but typically last between one to two years. Unlike permanent surgical options to treat wrinkles and smooth the skin, dermal fillers are temporary and require less commitment.

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved to treat a wide variety of facial areas, including the lips, nasolabial folds (the crease that runs from the bottom of your nose to mouth), marionette lines, smokers’ lines, under the eyes, cheeks and jawline.

Results are immediate, so you can see the effects directly following the treatment. However, dermal fillers may take up to four weeks to fully settle before you can see the full results. We recommend patients stay hydrated and drink plenty of water following the dermal filler treatment, as hyaluronic acid is water-binding, meaning that it will enhance the effect of the filler.

Unlike other invasive facial augmentation options for men and women, dermal fillers can begin with a mild enhancement and increase over time if needed, making it an aesthetic treatment with little commitment. Dermal fillers are effective for patients who have static wrinkles and/or lines, lost facial volume, acne scars, asymmetrical features or desire facial contouring. Dermal fillers have not been studied on women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or under the age of 18.

After your treatment, you may have some redness, swelling, and mild bruising. This will normally last less than seven days. Cold compresses may be used immediately and up to 24 hours after the treatment to reduce swelling.

After 24 hours post-treatment, if any bruising has occurred, warm compresses may be applied to the affected areas to expedite the resolution of bruising. Avoid touching the treated area within six hours following treatment. After that, the area can be gently washed.

Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappears.

Avoid exercise and alcohol for six hours after treatment.

Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, Advil, or vitamin E for 24 hours after injection.

During your appointment, your provider will review your treatment areas and how many units of Botox are needed. Your medical provider will use small micro-needles to inject Botox into the desired facial muscles. The neurotoxin temporarily weakens the muscle so wrinkles are smoothed.

Advanced Skin Care takes a comprehensive approach to your facial aesthetics and anti-aging. By combining neurotoxins, dermal fillers and other skin care treatments we can address multiple areas of the face simultaneously, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles while restoring lost volume.

Appointments take no longer than 30 minutes to complete, depending on the areas you are treating. To minimize the risk of bruising, we recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory supplements, such as Vitamin E, flaxseed oil and fish oil before your appointment.

Botox requires very little downtime. After your procedure, you can resume the rest of your day’s activities. Most people will have “Botox bumps” at the injection sites, which are small bumps that look similar to a mosquito bite. These bumps go away on their own and only last approximately 10-15 minutes after your Botox injections. We recommend that you let the injection sites heal on their own and not massage the area to reduce swelling. After your treatment, we also recommend refraining from exercise, receiving a facial or massage for at least 24 hours.

You can begin to see results as quickly as three days after your appointment, but it takes fourteen days to see the maximum skin smoothing results of Botox. How long your Botox treatment lasts depends on a number of factors. While individual results may vary, typically you’ll be able to enjoy the look of your Botox results for approximately 3-4 months.

That’s up to you. Whether you want to have a natural more rested and rejuvenated look, the “frozen” look, or anything in between, our medical providers will deliver the results you desire.

If you have moderate to severe facial wrinkles that you would like to improve, a neurotoxin procedure may be right for you. With injectables such as Botox, you can begin with a mild enhancement and increase the results over time. It is essential to consult with an experienced medical provider that can evaluate your specific aesthetic goals to determine which neurotoxin procedure is a good fit.

The most common side effects are minimal swelling and bruising at the Botox injection sites. There is a very low chance of infection.

Botox should not be used on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
