Botox® and Dermal Fillers

As we age our skin changes. It becomes thinner, loses volume, and does not appear as smooth. There are many factors that affect the way our skin ages including diet, heredity, and personal habits. There are now many ways to reverse the effects of aging and at AlecXander Medical Spa we have all the tools you need to achieve your best-looking skin. Botox and Restylane Dermal Filler, two very popular in-demand injection treatments, may help you achieve the youthful look you have been looking for.

What is Botox®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles. It can be used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and around the eyes where fine lines preside. In some cases, Botox® can also be used on the upper lip. Botox® can be used in people 18 years of age and older.

Botox — Before And After A Botox Treatment in Tarrant County, TX

How does Botox® work?

Botox® is great for frown lines, forehead lines, and Crow’s Feet. Botox® blocks impulses from the nerves connected to the tiny facial muscles that create facial expression lines. This treatment relaxes these muscles. You will still be able to use these muscles, but the skin on the surface stays smooth. Our trained and experienced injector uses a tiny micro-needle to inject the Botox®, pain is minimal, and there is no downtime. Slight bruising may occur especially in those who take blood thinners such as aspirin and fish oil prior to treatment. Botox® cannot lift sagging skin or replace or give the effects of a facelift or brow-lift.

The effect will last from 3-6 months, so it is a temporary solution. A follow-up treatment is recommended 3 times a year to maintain the effect of the medication. Over a period, you will need fewer injections.

What is Restylane® Dermal Filler?

When deep wrinkles cannot be corrected with Botox® and laser treatments alone, dermal fillers such as Restylane® are the answer. Restylane® is based on Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Hyaluronic acid (HA) provides volume and fullness in the skin. Restylane® is non-animal which means there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction to this product, making it extremely safe.

Restylane® can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months and, in some cases, longer. Restylane® can be used to treat areas such as the nasolabial folds, the lines that go from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Restylane® can also be used to make the lips appear fuller and is the only FDA-approved dermal filler for lip enhancement for patients 21 years of age and up. Restylane is also great for filling in areas that old acne scars (known as pot marks) have left behind. If you are interested in getting dermal filler injections in any other area of the face, contact us and we can answer any questions you may have.

What are the benefits of Restylane®?

Restylane is extremely safe due to its’ natural formulation. Restylane injections are also easy to receive and you will see results immediately. Because it is temporary, you are in control of how much you receive at each treatment. When you are not sure, we have highly trained professionals ready to help you determine where and how much of the Restylane® dermal filler you will need to achieve the perfect look for you.
