JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, Restylane®, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and Other Injectable Treatments at Our New Jersey Practice
In recent years, the demand for BOTOX® Cosmetic and other injectable fillers has boomed due to the fact that these treatments are capable of reducing facial wrinkles, creases, lines, and other reminders of aging. Additionally, these injectable treatments are noninvasive and non-surgical, meaning that they entail minimal discomfort and recovery time. Of the many injectable treatment options on the market, Drs. Nolis Arkoulakis and Lee Elber use Radiesse®, Sculptra™, BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane®, and JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel. Contact our New Jersey office today to find out which of these injectable options is ideal for your needs.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Naturally occurring facial wrinkles, lines, creases, and folds can all contribute to an aged, haggard look. BOTOX® Cosmetic, available at our New Jersey practice, is a noninvasive, quick solution for treating these developments quickly and effectively. The effectiveness and safety of this treatment have made BOTOX® Cosmetic one of the most popular treatments that our physicians use at Aesthetic Solutions.
BOTOX® Cosmetic can successfully treat most types of facial lines, including forehead wrinkles and crow's feet around the eyes. In addition to creases on the face, injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic can also help patients treat sunken portions of the lower face and loose skin around the neck.
The BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment reduces wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles. The active protein in the BOTOX® Cosmetic injection temporarily paralyzes the muscle group, relaxing away the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface. The temporary paralysis is harmless and can last up to four months.
The injection procedure is performed by either of our physicians with little or no discomfort to the patient and can be finished in less than 30 minutes. Patients are typically able to notice the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic two to three days after the treatment and can expect the results to last for up to four months.
Restylane®
Restylane® injections, performed by New Jersey physicians Nolis Arkoulakis and Lee Elber, can help patients regain a more youthful look and can even add volume to the lips. Our doctors use their understanding of facial aesthetics to identify and treat the problem areas on a patient's face, helping him or her achieve a smooth, refreshed appearance.
Unlike BOTOX® Cosmetic and other injectable treatments, Restylane® is a dermal filler derived from a completely natural substance called hyaluronic acid, which is organically created by the human body. The hyaluronic acid that the body manufactures is a key component of the full, smooth appearance of youthful facial skin and contours. Because Restylane® is derived from a naturally occurring substance, testing for an allergy to the injection is unnecessary.
While Restylane® can treat facial wrinkles, it can also treat the hollow appearance many people develop as they lose the fullness of their skin. Furthermore, Restylane® injections can plump up lips, reduce the prominence of scars, hide crow's feet, and enhance facial contours. Sunken cheeks can also be treated with Restylane®, as the hyaluronic acid restores the skin's fullness that has deteriorated over time. To learn more about how Restylane® can help improve facial skin and contours, contact the New Jersey area's leading aesthetic practice, Aesthetic Solutions, today.
JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel
Similar to the other injectable treatments available at Aesthetic Solutions, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is used to help our New Jersey patients reclaim the smoothness and firmness of youthful facial skin. In addition to smoothing out facial lines and wrinkles, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel can be used to fill in facial creases, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds. JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel treatments can also add volume to sunken cheeks.
JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is a gel that, like Restylane®, is mainly comprised of hyaluronic acid, the naturally occurring substance that helps the skin stay hydrated and maintain the "filled-out" appearance. Because hyaluronic acid is a substance that the body already creates, patients do not need to be concerned with the possibility of an allergic reaction to the treatment; this great benefit eliminates the need for a pre-treatment allergy screening. The JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel treatment works by raising levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin, restoring the aesthetics of youthful fullness.
After patients undergo the injectable treatment, the hyaluronic acid will gradually and harmlessly be absorbed by the body. Patients may decide to undergo the JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel treatment every few months to maintain the rejuvenating effects of the injection. To find out more about the JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel treatment, contact Drs. Arkoulakis and Elber today.
Other Injectable Treatment Options
While BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, and Restylane® are great treatment options for patients who wish to smooth wrinkles and regain fullness in their facial contours, it is possible that none of them will be the most appropriate treatment for a particular patient. To ensure that their patients are presented with a comprehensive set of injectable filler options, Dr. Arkoulakis and Dr. Elber also offer Radiesse® and Sculptra™ treatments.
Radiesse® is a state-of-the-art dermal filler that treats deep wrinkles and lines on the face. The filler is made up of calcium-based "microspheres" suspended in a gel that, when injected, adds volume to the treatment area. And, like Restylane® and JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, the Radiesse® treatment does not require an allergy test prior to treatment.
Sculptra™ is another injectable treatment that reduces hollowness and wrinkles. Studies have shown that the effects of Sculptra™ can last up to two years, whereas other dermal fillers remain effective for only up to six months.
