You can look younger in 20 minutes with injections of FDA approved Botox for the temporary treatment of frown lines and brow furrows, and even prevent some forms of migraine headaches. Botox has been proven safe when a qualified doctor provides treatment, and correct placement of the product occurs. The treatment, which will be less than 20 minutes in length, will last between 3 - 6 months. Length of time depends on site of placement and number of previous treatments a patient has received.
Juvederm, an injectable gel, is one of the newest "dermal fillers' on the market. Manufactured by the same company that produces Botox, this clear jel looks and feels natural when injected. It is FDA approved to treat moderate to severe naso-labial folds, or parentheses, that occur as we age. The product is injected under the skin, and will instantly smooth out wrinkles and folds on the face that are part of the aging process. It is made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring substance in the body. It is crosslinked to allow for longer duration. As this product is hydrophilic, attracting water, it fills out facial tiisues to allow for a soft, smooth redraping of the skin without wrinkles and folds. Juvederm will last 6 - 9 months before another treatment is needed or desired.
Recently, these treatments have been the finishing touch to aesthetic restorations placed by a general dentist.
