Botox®/ Xeomin®
Targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet – the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting. When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Neuromodulator injections are used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to server frown lines between the eyebrows.
What to expect during treatment?
Your treatment will take between 10-20 minutes in which your doctor will inject Botox/Xeomin into the muscles in your forehead that cause frown lines. Some patients describe the procedure as feelinglike a pinch. No anesthesia is required; however, your doctor may apply a topical anesthetic or cold pack to help ease discomfort. The treatment requires little to no downtime for recovery. You may see visible soothing of frown lines within 3-7 days after treatment with the maximum affect occurring 30 days post treatment. The treatment last on average for 3 months.
Kybella™
Kybella is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. Kybella aids in reshaping the outline of the neck below the chin, helping to eliminate what is commonly referred to as “the double chin.” Kybella not only destroys the fat cells but prevents them from accumulating fat so further treatment is generally not required.
What to expect during treatment?
You will arrive 1 hour before your scheduled treatment. At this time a nurse will apply a topical anesthetic to the area to help ease the discomfort. You will then receive multiple injections into the targeted area. The actual procedure usually takes only 15 to 20 minutes. After the treatment you may experience some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin and the area may be sore. The swelling and discomfort generally last for 1 week post treatment. Most patients will require 2-6 treatments to complete the treatment with 4-6 weeks between each treatment.
