INJECTABLES AND FILLERS

Freezers, Fillers and Other Injectables

To eliminate deep folds and furrows, hollow cheeks, diminished lips, wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet, there are several non-surgical treatments available that are fast, virtually pain-free and long lasting. At Advanced Skin Fitness, we use facial fillers and other injectables such as D*Sport, Restylane®, Perlane®, JuveDerm®, and other methods to address deep set lines and skin that has lost volume and elasticity. These treatments are highly effective, can be performed within a short time frame and require little to no downtime. After these treatments, patients can return to their daily activities. Some may present mild side effects such as swelling or bruising, but the irritation is only temporary. The results are smoother skin with a more youthful appearance and a quick recovery.

Although the overall objective with any facial injection is to smooth deep wrinkles and fine lines, facial fillers and other injectables are used in different ways to address a multitude issues that arise in the face from the natural aging process. Facial fillers are used to plump up the skin where it has sunken and has lost collagen from aging and/or weight loss. D*Sport is a neurotoxin that “freezes” and are used to paralyze the muscle to prevent wrinkles from forming. Another treatment uses components from your own blood to activate your own stem cells and grow more collagen naturally to improve elasticity and appearance of the skin. They all work well with each other and none of these treatments replaces another. They all have their own purpose and function in aesthetics.

D*Sport

D*Sport is a safe, convenient, non-invasive injectable botulin toxin Type A that blocks the nerve impulses to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles and prevent new ones. The technician will inject small amounts of the toxin into the muscles, so the muscles cannot contract and cause the skin to crease over them. Patients should see the muscles steadily relax, making the skin appear smoother. For frown lines, smile lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles it’s a great alternative to plastic surgery. Patients should see a dramatic reduction of creases in the skin soon after the treatment.

Facial Fillers

A facial filler is a gel that is injected into the dermal layer of the skin to fill in and smooth areas that have wrinkled, sagged, sunken, or scarred.

Hyaluronic acid is used exclusively at Advanced Skin Fitness because of its safety and efficacy. The fillers contain a smooth consistent gel that re-establish volume to shallow skin. When the skin starts to wrinkle and sag due to aging, water deficiency, sun damage or creasing facial expressions, a facial filler can be a safe and effective solution. Facial fillers help to enhance thin lips, add dimension to shallow cheeks, fill in dark circles and tear troughs around the eyes, smooth folds in the skin and make deep scars look less pronounced. With the proper application, these issues can be minimized and eliminated temporarily to give the skin a dramatically more youthful appearance.
