BOTOX® Cosmetic is a product used to treat forehead creases, fine lines and wrinkles near the eyes, and furrows between the brows. At our Fairfield County, Connecticut practice, we recommend BOTOX® treatment as a non-surgical alternative for patients who are seeking youthful looking skin without face lift surgery. BOTOX® treatments diminish or eliminate wrinkles by preventing muscle contractions. The injections are administered directly to the facial muscles that contract when we smile, squint, laugh, or frown. When these muscles are relaxed, wrinkles begin to flatten out and the skin takes on a softer, smoother appearance.
Patients who visit our Fairfield County, Connecticut practice for BOTOX® injections can expect to see improvement for as long as six months. For optimum results, follow up BOTOX® treatments will be necessary every three to four months.
As you age your skin reduces its production of a substance called hyaluronic acid, resulting in facial wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM® is a smooth-consistency hyaluronic gel that is injected under your skin to instantly smooth out these folds and wrinkles. JUVÉDERM® is used in the nasolabial folds, forehead lines, chin wrinkles, marionette lines, oral commissures, vertical lip lines and also to enhance the lips. Wrinkle correction with JUVÉDERM®, used on both females and males, is a quick, in-office procedure with immediate results and no downtime. JUVÉDERM® is FDA approved to last up to 1 year.
Radiesse™ is calcium based dermal filler that can restore facial volume and correct wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse™ is a dermal filler that not only fills but volumizes and works with your body to stimulate new collagen. Results of this skin treatment are immediate and may last a year or more for many patients. Radiesse™ is a safe, FDA approved filler that restores a long lasting, youthful look. This is an office procedure with little or no down time, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment.
Sculptra is a synthetic injectable material known as "poly-L-lactic acid", which is an injectable material that stimulates the body's own collagen to smooth out lines and wrinkles and replace volume in the face and cheeks. It is also beneficial in the treatment of recessed temple areas and deep scars. This material is biodegradeable (able to be broken down by the body) and does not harm the body. The results from Sculptra are not immediate. After the initial swelling goes down the treated area may look as it did before the treatment. It takes time to gradually increase skin thickness and correct depressions in the skin. Usually 2 - 3 skin treatments are required, with natural-looking effects becoming noticeable after approximately 6 weeks. Although it may take a longer period of time to achieve the improvement you are looking for, the results are natural and long lasting. Clinical studies have shown that the results of Sculptra can last for more than 3 years. This is an office procedure with little or no downtime.
Injectable skin treatments and other rejuvenation procedures can take years off your appearance. Please contact our plastic surgery practice in Fairfield County, Connecticut to find out more about non-surgical skin treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM®, Radiesse™, and Sculptra.
