Botox Injections

Botox injections are a quick, simple, and effective way to reduce these lines and wrinkles on your face. The neuromodulator solution temporarily reduce movement in the muscles of the treatment area that are causing wrinkles. This leads to reduced muscle activity when the muscles stop contracting as dynamically allowing wrinkles to improve over time.

This treatment is most commonly used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). The effects of Botox typically last for about 3 to 6 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear. Common side effects can include swelling, bruising, or mild pain at the injection site. Serious complications are rare but can occur. Post-treatment care may include avoiding strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and certain skincare products for a few days after injections.

Fillers

Fillers help you if you want to enhance your lips, smooth fine lines, or get a liquid facelift. Fillers can be used to add volume and structural support to facial tissue. Fillers reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, adding fullness to lips, enhancing cheekbones and jawline, filling in hollow areas under the eyes (tear troughs)., and improving the appearance of scars.

The effects of dermal fillers can be immediate, with results lasting anywhere from a few months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Common side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, but serious complications are rare. Following the treatment, patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for a short period.

Lip Flip

A lip flip is a procedure that makes your lips appear fuller. Lip flips are often sought out by people looking for a more subtle but still prominent “pout” of the top lip. Once injected, that neurotoxin relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle causing the lip to roll slightly upward and appear more voluminous. The injection points can also help to temporarily reduce vertical fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. One thing that’s worth noting is that this treatment creates the illusion of fuller-looking lips but doesn’t add actual volume, so should you want real plumpness, you might consider combining a lip flip with lip filler for a more pronounced look. “If you are looking for both volume and control over the shape of your lips, then a combination treatment can provide your desired results,”

Masseter Botox

Masseter Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves injecting Botulinum Toxin Type A into the masseter muscles located at the angle of the jaw. This procedure is designed to relax overactive jaw muscles, leading to a slimmer and more angular facial structure while also reducing associated tension and discomfort. The injection can reduce the size of the larger muscle, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
This procedure is beneficial for those who grind their teeth at night. Teeth grinding not only causes jaw discomfort but can also lead to enamel wear, tooth damage, and gum problem. Common mild side effects include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These symptoms are usually temporary and subside within a few days. However, more severe side effects or allergic reactions, though rare, can occur.
