From Wrinkles to Acne, Chemical Peels Cover It All
Chemical peels aren’t new, but this standby skin treatment still delivers some of the best results. From easing the signs of aging to tackling acne, chemical peels can do it all.
Put Your Best Face Forward This Holiday Season With Cosmetic Injectables
If the scent of pumpkin spice everywhere you go hasn’t clued you in yet, the holidays are just around the corner. As you make sure you check everything on your holiday to-do list, why not carve out some time for yourself?
Specifically, if you give us about an hour, we can give your face a quick and dramatic refresh that will have you glowing as bright as the holiday lights.
At Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Juan-Carlos Caballero and our team offer a complete suite of cosmetic injectables, including leading brands Botox®, Daxxify, Sculptra, RHA, and Juvéderm®.
Here, we review some of the many reasons why neurotoxin treatments and dermal fillers rank as the first and third most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, respectively, in the United States.
The versatility of dermal fillers
As you age and your skin naturally loses elasticity and tone, your appearance can change in surprising ways. Sure, the loss of collagen and elastin leads to sagging skin and wrinkles, but it can also lead to fat redistribution in your face, causing you to lose that youthful volume.
Well, one of the best ways to address these changes is with dermal fillers. At our practice, we use Juvéderm fillers that rely on hyaluronic acid (HA) to restore lost volume and fill in and lift aging skin. More specifically, our Juvéderm line of fillers is ideal for:
- Filling in deep nasolabial folds around your mouth
- Filling in marionette lines around your chin
- Lifting small jowls to redefine your jawline
- Plumping thinning lips
- Adding volume to your cheeks
- Smoothing out bumpy skin around your chin
- Reducing vertical lip lines (so-called “smokers’ lines”)
- Smoothing bumpy and hollowed-out under-eye areas
We can even use dermal fillers to reduce the craggy look that hands often develop with age.
What’s really great about HA fillers is that your results are immediate and you walk out looking more youthful. And these results can last for six months or longer before they start to fade and the HA gets reabsorbed into your body. When this happens, you simply return for another quick round of dermal fillers.
Tackling dynamic wrinkles with Botox and Daxxify
To elevate the great results we can achieve with dermal fillers, we strongly recommend a complementary Botox or Daxxify treatment. Botox and Daxxify work differently than fillers because they’re targeting dynamic wrinkles — those lines that form when you make an expression.
The active ingredient in neurotoxins temporarily quiets the muscles that contract to form these wrinkles, allowing us to:
- Relax forehead lines
- Reduce crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes
- Smooth out frown lines between your brows
Moving further down, Botox was also recently approved to relax the platysma muscle in your neck, which can create prominent cords that connect your jaw to your neck.
Botox and Daxxify results take up to 2 weeks to fully emerge, at which point you can enjoy your more youthful look for four months or longer. Like fillers, when your results fade, you simply return to us for more quick-and-easy injections.
