Botox, Xeomin and Fillers

“Aging is a privilege, getting old is optional”

 Botox and Xeomin

Botox and Xeomin are each purified proteins that relax muscles by interfering with nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract. Once the muscles are relaxed, the overlying skin relaxes too, which leads to softening of fine lines and wrinkles. As a group, Botox and Xeomin treatments are the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedure and are consistently ranked high in terms of patient satisfaction.

Botox and Xeomin are most frequently used to soften the forehead “frown” lines, upper forehead lines, and lines around the eyes (Crow’s feet). More experienced injectors also use Botox to soften “bunny lines” on the nose, lines extending from the lips, lift the corners of the mouth, and soften the jaw line.

Botox and Xeomin can be injected in minutes with no downtime. The results take, on average, 2-5 days to start to take effect. It may take up to 10-14 days to achieve final results, and those results will last about 3-4 months. The technique used by Renew Skin Care makes the injections nearly painless.

Dermal Fillers

Beautiful and young looking skin contains healthy amounts of hyaluronic acid, a naturally hydrating material. As we age, we can lose the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin because of factors such as sunlight and environmental damage. This causes your skin to lose structure and volume with the outcome being unwanted facial wrinkles and folds. Additionally, the amount of subcutaneous fat underneath our facial skin decreases with age, and certain fat pads drop over time due to age and gravity. Dermal fillers can replace lost volume and give the face a more youthful appearance.

Dermal Fillers are used to soften smile lines, wrinkles around the mouth and chin, line the lip boarder for definition, and add volume to lips, cheeks, and under the eyes. The Juvederm and RHA family of products are composed of hyaluronic acid that closely resembles that found under the skin, reducing the risks of inflammatory reactions or other side effects. Due to the versatility, safety profile, and reversibility (yes, it can be reversed!), Renew Skin Care has chosen to primarily use hyaluronic acid fillers. We offer Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm VOLUMA XC, and the RHA collection of fillers. With little to no downtime and immediate results, dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment to maintain your youthful appearance and accommodate your active lifestyle.
