Dermal Fillers, where are they normally used?

I discovered that most people who make the effort to maintain quality of health and lifestyle also take the time and effort towards their aesthetics, their looks, and their presentation.  I was surprised to find this field has such strong growing demand.  The level of technology and innovation in Cosmetic Medicine over the past 20 years has been phenomenal. There are so many treatment options that can be tailored to patients' needs.  That is why in 2021 I completed my certification in Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine and I am very excited to enter this specialty and render treatments

 

How long do dermal fillers last?

This depends on a variety of factors, including where they are applied, and which product is used.  The doctor will evaluate each individual and the locations to be injected and recommend a filler to provide the best results.  Fillers last between 1-2 years; small touch-ups may be required in the interim; and special longer-term fillers last 2-4 years.

 

Are neurotoxin injections safe?

Neurotoxins are absolutely safe.  Botulinum toxin, the best and most often used, is a very potent toxin, but the purified doses used in cosmetic injections are meticulously calculated to render perfect results. There is almost no danger when properly administered. Studies have shown that no traces of toxin will make its way through to your bloodstream after treatment.

 

What brands are neurotoxins do you use?

There are many 3 major brands of botulinum toxin that are used.  They are Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport.  All Neurotoxins used, as well as fillers, are FDA approved for use at the recommended doses for patients in the United States

 

Neurotoxins how long do they last?

Typically, Neurotoxins last 3-4 months, this can vary depending on the neurotoxin used and the patient.  You will sometimes see results lasting for up to 6 months.
