Rejuvenate in Time for the Holidays

A beautiful woman in a santa hat isolated on a snowflake and red dot backgroundWith holiday gatherings just around the corner, everyone wants to look their best. Unfortunately, aging takes a toll on our skin, leaving expression lines and folds on many of our faces sooner than we had expected. However, there are a variety of injectable treatments to eliminate these signs of aging that require no downtime and produce great results… fast! Treatment can take anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes, and the injectable is safely administered through a fine needle into the skin. Results generally last between six months and two years depending on the injectable used and how many treatments are undergone.

The following injectable formulas are ideal for quickly improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to rejuvenate your appearance just in time for the holidays:

BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®

BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® relax particular muscles of the face and prevent them from contracting, which reduces the appearance of the wrinkles and fine lines they cause.

Ideal for treating:

  • Frown lines (vertical furrows between the brows)
  • Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Dimpling in the chin
  • Bands in the neck

JUVÉDERM® Ultra, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, Restylane®, and Perlane®

JUVÉDERM® Ultra and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, as well as Restylane® and Perlane®, are formulations of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance in the body that adds volume and hydration to the skin. These injectable fillers act as a cushion for skin that has lost elasticity to smooth out depressions in the skin and enhance facial contours.

Ideal for treating:

  • Indented acne scars
  • Smile lines (nasolabial folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
  • Marionette lines (vertical lines down from the corners of the lips)
  • Smoker’s lines (vertical lines above the top lip)
  • Hollows under the eyes
  • Thin lips

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is an injectable gel made with a unique manufacturing process that crosslinks hyaluronic acid (HA) in a high concentration to produce a thicker formula. This creates a smooth-consistency gel that adds fullness and a natural look and feel with results that last up to two years.

Ideal for treating:

  • Volume loss in the midface
  • Poorly defined cheekbones

RADIESSE®

RADIESSE® is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite, a biocompatible synthetic material. This special gel-matrix formula provides immediate volume and also stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen for results that last up to two years.

Ideal for treating:

  • Smile lines (nasolabial folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
  • Marionette lines (vertical lines down from the corners of the lips)
  • Smoker’s lines (vertical lines above the top lip)
  • Chin wrinkles and folds
  • Weakened jawline
  • Hollowed cheeks
  • Indented scars

During your consultation, Dr. Sandra Lee, Erin Jensen, PA-C, or Ashlene Korcek, PA-C will help determine which injectable treatment is right for you.
