Abraham Medical Cosmetics’ Injectable Facial Rejuvenation Options Explained

abraham medical cosmeticsAs we age the processes that once allowed our skin the elasticity and smoothness of youth begin to slow. Collagen, the scaffolding behind the skin that makes it appear firm and supple, is not as ample as in our youth and damage from unprotected sun exposure and the environment begin to take a toll on the way our skin looks. Along with the effects of age, repeated facial expressions can deepen lines around the brows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

Facial injectables like Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® and facial fillers like Restylane® and Radiesse® work with your body to help smooth wrinkles and replump areas that have lost volume with time.

Botox® and Dysport® are two variations of dermal injectables that help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles in between the eyes and forehead. They are both made from purified strains of the botulinum toxin and work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

For the other areas of the face, Restylane® and Radiesse® are fillers that can be injected around the nose, mouth, and cheeks to restore the volume and suppleness that our skin loses as we age. These fillers also refine creases, fine lines, and wrinkles to give you a younger-looking visage instantly. Radiesse® even boosts the body’s natural collagen production rate so results last longer!

Dermal injectables are an excellent option for those who may not be ready for more extreme anti-aging measures like plastic surgery, but still want to renew and refresh their appearance.  Contact us for more information on facial injectables or other wrinkle reduction treatments at Abraham Medical Cosmetics.

What Can I Do About Mild to Moderate Signs of Aging Besides Plastic Surgery?

Abraham Medical Cosmetics offers multiple solutions for wrinkle reduction for those who may not want or be ready for a more invasive cosmetic surgery procedure. Photofacial rejuvenation uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce the appearance of many skin conditions that often show our age: fine lines, hyperpigmentation (sun spots), and even acne scarring.

Our ReFirme™ skin tightening system works to tighten areas of lax skin that may make us appear tired or older than we are from sagging brow skin, under-eye bags, and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. As we age our skin loses collagen, the scaffolding that keeps tissue supple and young-looking. However, treatments with ReFirme™ help to increase collagen production to rebuild the underlying structure in the skin, giving it a tighter and firmer appearance.

Light and laser treatments generally need multiple sessions for patients to see full results, though these results can last up to two years. Immediately after treatments, patients often notice a difference in the feeling of their skin and see full results after just one treatment.

We also offer facial injectables to help slow the signs of aging that work within the skin to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles or replump areas of lost volume. After years of repeated facial expressions, our skin tends to furrow or wrinkle around the eyes and forehead, hence the cause of crow’s feet, laugh lines, and furrowed brow lines. Botox® and Dysport® are both made from purified Botulinum and work by relaxing the muscles beneath the skin that are often the culprit of the fine lines that show our age.

As collagen production slows, certain areas of the face and even the hands begin to become hollowed out or lose volume. Facial fillers like Radiesse® and Restylane® fill these areas to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate a youthful visage. Radiesse® has an added benefit as it boosts collagen growth to continue the anti-aging process for up to a year after initial injection.

Patients who choose dermal injectables like Botox® and Dysport® will see results within 4 days of treatment, with full results visible around 10-14 days after treatment. Botox® users’ results generally last for 3-4 months, while Dysport® users can see results for up to 4-6 months. Radiesse® and Restylane® users will notice results immediately that will last 6 months to a year.

Abraham Medical Cosmetics Offers Cosmetic Injectable Services Including Botox® and Dysport®

Dr Ben Abraham - Snellville GAAbraham Medical Cosmetics works in both the general health and cosmetic realms of medical care. Because we’re focused on providing overall harmony between the mind, body, and soul, we understand the importance that overall health as well as physical beauty can play in making a patient feel healthy in every aspect. This is why, along with our family medicine practice, we also offer cosmetic skin treatments.

One of the most popular cosmetic services we offer is facial injectables. As we age, our bodies often do not mirror the vigor for life that we may still possess facial skin loses elasticity as collagen degrades with  the effects of time, gravity, and sun exposure. Fortunately, dermal fillers like Botox®, Dysport®, Restylane®, and Radiesse® can help patients combat the signs of aging and look as good as they feel.

Botox® and Dysport® work to relax the muscles that can cause wrinkles and fine lines. Made from different strains of purified Botulinum, these two injectables smooth wrinkles and temporarily prevent further demarcations by blocking the transmitter from traveling from the nerves to the muscles that contribute to a wrinkle-inducing expression. By disallowing the transmitter, the muscle contractions between the eyebrows and along the forehead are softened and the wrinkles are smoothed. Most often performed for forehead lines and brow furrows, Botox® and Dysport® can also be used for crow’s feet and frown lines that show up between the eyes. The FDA has also approved the use of Botox® to curb excessive sweating and for the treatment of migraine headaches.

Restylane® is a facial filler that helps restore volume to areas of the face that have thinned over time. Along with a decrease in the elasticity of our skin as we age, areas that were once full and youthful can often deflate taking away the plumpness associated with healthy skin. Restylane® can refill wrinkles as well as the areas of lost volume that may cause wrinkles including around the eyes for crow’s feet, around the mouth for marionette lines and drooping mouth corners, as well as in the hands to combat the thinning skin that gives away age. Because it is a filler product made from the naturally occurring non-animal hyaluronic acid, Restylane® can also be used to sculpt and plump the lips and cheeks for added volume and fullness.

Radiesse® is similar to Restylane® in that it is meant to restore areas of lost volume and smooth wrinkles. Radiesse® contains calcium hydroxylapatatite in hyaluronic gel, which means that while it contains the same acid as Restylane®, it also holds the added benefit of helping the skin to create more of the elasticity-building protein collagen on its own. It can be used around the mouth for marionette lines, around the nose, and for lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Radiesse® can also be used to help refill depressed scars with results lasting up to a year.

Facial fillers and dermal injectables like these are excellent solutions for patients who do not want to partake in more invasive procedures like plastic surgery, but would like to eliminate signs of aging like wrinkles and lost volume.

abraham medical cosmeticsDedicated to helping reveal your true beauty, Abraham Medical Cosmetics offers a variety of cosmetic and primary care services. Although it may seem strange to buy skin care products or take cosmetic advice from your family physician, we understand the close relationship between feeling good on the inside and looking good on the outside. That’s why we offer cosmetic services to help keep you looking young.

Whether you’re still concerned with skin blemishes or if you’re face’s fine lines and wrinkles are showings your age, a chemical peel may be the perfect skin treatment to minimize surface imperfections. During a chemical peel treatment, chemical solutions are applied the facial skin to penetrate the damaged, outer layers and expose the beautiful, healthy skin beneath. While some harsh chemical peels can create dramatic peeling, we offer milder peels that require little to no downtime, but still target sun damage, acne, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

Other wrinkle reduction treatments like our photofacial skin rejuvenation can also correct pigmentation issues and acne scars while also diminishing fine lines. More
