Since Botox® was first approved by the FDA in 2002, the cosmetic world has experienced a revolution in minimally invasive and highly effective cosmetic treatments. Gone are the days when a facelift was the only option for dialing back the years.
Today, we’ve got cutting-edge laser treatments, science-backed skincare products, and the ever popular cosmetic injectables — over 19 million women and men in the United States opted to get cosmetic injectable treatments in 2024 alone.
So, if you’ve got a little time to spare (about an hour or so) board-certified dermatologist Dr. Juan-Carlos Caballero and our team at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center can help you put your best face forward this holiday season with cosmetic injectables. Between Botox and our Juvéderm® line of dermal fillers, we can help you lift, fill, smooth, and plump your way to a revitalized appearance.
To get your face camera-ready for the holidays, we suggest a combination approach with both Botox and dermal fillers. Botox is a fantastic tool for tackling the lines around the top half of your face, including your:
Botox has also been approved for relaxing platysma bands, or the ropey cords in the neck that often develop with age and can pull the jawline and jowls downward.
The active ingredient in Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles that contract to form dynamic wrinkles. Those are the wrinkles that pop up with your facial expressions and, over time, become more etched into your skin.
After we administer Botox, it takes up to seven days for these lines to relax and smooth out, giving you a more youthful resting face. And, you can still make those facial expressions, just without all the lines.
Once we address the upper half of your face and neck with Botox, we can tackle other areas with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers from Juvéderm.
HA is a substance that already exists in your body — it lubricates your joints and helps keep your skin supple. Fascinatingly, about a quarter teaspoon of HA can hold up to 1.5 gallons of water.
As a cosmetic injectable, HA is really impressive as it can target and remedy a number of different cosmetic concerns, including:
Not only are dermal fillers incredibly versatile, Juvéderm HA fillers provide immediate results that you can show off right away.
While our HA fillers deliver immediate results, there is a waiting period for Botox, which takes up to 2 weeks for full results. We suggest you schedule your visit now, so that you’ll be ready for the first holiday festivity.
Also, some people experience bruising at the injection sites after a cosmetic injectable treatment, so it’s a good idea to build in time to account for this minor, short-term side effect.
Instead of leaving one more thing to the last minute, why not contact Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center in Warrenton, Virginia, now to schedule your cosmetic injectable treatment?
