BOTOX® and Fillers

BOTOX®

Aging is a complex process which encompasses skin care, environment, stress, and sun exposure. Wrinkles form due to a combination of multiple factors. The lines that form on your face over time are a combination of skin aging, collagen depletion, and muscle movement. Facial expression can lead to deepening of “frown lines” between your eyes, or “smile lines” those crow’s feet that you aren’t smiling about.

BOTOX® cosmetic is a purified protein that is injected into the muscles underlying these areas to help smooth and diminish the appearance of the wrinkles to create a more relaxed and youthful appearance.

We know that facial expression is important in our communication and interactions.  BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected by Dr. Lynore Martinez, who has been trained in the administration and nuances of BOTOX Cosmetic in order to artistically enhance your youthful appearance without compromising your facial expressions. 

BOTOX® cosmetic is injected in a series every 4 to 6 month in order to maintain your desired results. The injections are typically very well tolerated with a minimum of discomfort after ice application to the injection area. Side effects can include bruising at the injection site and possibly headache.

The most common sites for treatment are the frown lines between the eyes, forehead lines, and laugh lines around the eyes (or crow’s feet). Because the muscles are relaxed in the area of BOTOX® injection, BOTOX may actually prevent new lines and wrinkles from forming. 

Fillers
(Juvederm and Restylane)

Cosmetic fillers are used to treat the deeper skin lines that form over time due to loss of collagen in the skin. The easiest way for you to determine whether you need a filler such as Juvederm or Restylane, or BOTOX® cosmetic, is to examine the skin line when you are not making any expression or moving any facial muscles. BOTOX cosmetic will affect “dynamic” wrinkles, or lines that form when you are moving facial muscles. 

Juvederm and Restylane are indicated for facial lines that are present when your facial muscles are not in movement and are relaxed. Typically, these are the nasiolabial folds, or the skin line that deepens as we age between the lateral nose and corners of your mouth, and “marionette lines” the deeper lines that pull the lateral edges of the mouth downward. Sometimes, a frown line between the eyes has deepened to the point that it is present without any facial expression, these are also treated with fillers.

Juvederm and Restylane are also indicated to create additional fullness to the lip area which can minimize fine vertical lines that form around the lips with aging.

Juvederm and Restylane are injected after either a topical anesthetic or dental block has been applied to the area. Side effects from filler injections include discomfort at the injection sites and bruising.
