It’s hard to believe that we’re already facing another holiday season, but the pumpkin spice lattes have launched, so it’s official.
As you begin checking off holiday to-do lists, we strongly recommend adding a cosmetic injectable session with us toward the top.
At Orange Coast Dermatology, our experienced team of skin health experts provides both medical and cosmetic skincare services. As part of our extensive suite of aesthetic services, we offer cosmetic injectables, including neurotoxins such as Botox® and Xeomin®, as well as dermal fillers like Juvéderm® and Restylane®.
Here, we explore how, if you give us about an hour, we can help you put your best forward this holiday season.
When we refer to cosmetic injectables, we’re referring to minimally invasive cosmetic treatments in which we only use a needle. There are three main categories of cosmetic injectables as of right now:
Since we’re discussing quick-and-easy treatments before the holiday season, we’re going to concentrate on the first two — HA dermal fillers and neurotoxin. These two treatments have topped the list of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments in the United States for years, which speaks to how well they work.
When you made expressions in your younger years, they came and went with your moods. These days, expression lines have taken up permanent residence on your face, often making you look older (not to mention more upset).
With neurotoxins like Botox, we can relax those lines, especially around the top half of your face, including:
As a bonus, Botox has also been approved to reduce the appearance of those increasingly prominent bands that connect your neck to your jaw, called platysma bands.
After we administer Botox or Xeomin, your results should gradually settle into place over the following week. From there, most of our clients enjoy these results for about four months, at which point they return for another round of quick injections.
One of the biggest forces behind aging skin is the natural loss of collagen, the protein responsible for your skin’s structure and tone. After your 20s, you start to lose collagen production by about 1% per year. Obviously, this loss can add up over time, leaving you with deepening lines and drooping skin
To fight back, we offer a full line of HA dermal fillers. HA is an amazing substance that’s already found in the human body, such as in your skin and joints. The reason HA is amazing is because of its ability to retain moisture — a quarter teaspoon of HA can hold 1.5 gallons of water!
Well, we put these moisture-retaining abilities to use with dermal fillers that can:
One of the best features of HA dermal fillers is that your results are immediate. And you can enjoy these results for 4-12 months, depending on how fast your body processes the HA. As with neurotoxins, when the results start to fade, you can renew them easily with a quick visit to our practice.
In our experienced hands, there’s so much we can accomplish with a few cosmetic injectables, and we’re happy to show you how we can make some fast improvements to your appearance, in plenty of time for the holiday season.
To get that ball rolling, we invite you to contact one of our offices in Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange, or Mission Viejo, California.
