Botox And Fillers

How can I eliminate wrinkles without surgery?

Today’s state-of-the-art injectable therapies allow you to erase wrinkles, replace lost volume, and eliminate aging double chins without a single stitch. At Advanced Aesthetics Lopez Plastic Surgery, the team spot treats your trouble areas or designs a liquid face-lift by using such neuromodulators and dermal fillers as:

• Botox®
• Dysport®
• Juvéderm® 
• Restylane® 
• Sculptra®

They can also remove fat under your chin, known as submental fat, with a series of Kybella® treatments.

How do neuromodulators eliminate wrinkles?

Botox and Dysport are all formulated with a purified botulinum toxin, a protein that stops your muscles from contracting and creating wrinkles. Neuromodulators can smooth:

• Horizontal brow wrinkles
• Vertical frown lines
• Crow’s feet

Within days to weeks, the dynamic muscles that cause your wrinkles relax. Because your skin’s not being pressed into wrinkles and folds, it relaxes, too. You look younger and fresher for up to four months.

How do dermal fillers make up for volume loss?

Deep wrinkles around your mouth and nose, known as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and volume loss in your cheeks are caused by a decrease in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid (HA) as you age. Sun damage also robs you of collagen, elastin, fat, and HA. Dermal fillers replace all of these.

At Advanced Aesthetics Lopez Plastic Surgery, your provider chooses from two types of dermal fillers: HA fillers and collagen-stimulating fillers. The HA fillers Juvéderm and Restylane immediately plump fine lines and deep creases with HA to create a rejuvenation that lasts from 6-24 months.

The collagen stimulator Sculptra contains microparticles that stimulate your skin to amp up its production of collagen and elastin, replacing volume in your midface and cheeks over weeks to months. Collagen-stimulating fillers last for a year or more.

How can I melt a double chin without liposuction?

Kybella is an injectable therapy that uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to melt away excess fat from under your chin. Each Kybella treatment permanently eliminates about 20% of fat, which is why most women and men opt for 3-5 treatments.
