Get a more youthful, smooth look with simple and effective injectable wrinkle reducers and dermal fillers. Offered by Dana Brownell, MD of Westport Medispa in Westport, Connecticut, these injectables are a powerful, nonsurgical way to enhance your appearance. Call the office to request an appointment to find out how cosmetic injectables like Botox® and Juvéderm® can erase the signs of aging.
Cosmetic injectables include wrinkle reducers, like Botox® and Dysport®, as well as dermal fillers, like Juvéderm® and Restylane®.
Wrinkle reducers are effective in halting dynamic wrinkles. These are creases and lines that form when you make expressions, such as when you smile or frown. Over time, the repeated muscle activity of expression etches lines into your skin and gives you a more aged look.
Dermal fillers help plump your skin to reduce the look of static lines and wrinkles, those creases that stay put even when you have a straight face. These fillers also fill in hollowing or thinning areas on your face that can make you look older.
The effects of injectables are temporary, but effective. Retreatments are always available when the effects wear off so that you can maintain a long-term youthful look.
How do wrinkle-reducing injectables work?
Wrinkle reducers include Botox® and Dysport®. These injectables are slightly different formulas that contain a botulinum toxin that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles when you smile, squint, or frown. Wrinkle reducers are incredibly safe, having been used for years by millions of people around the world, and they’re FDA-approved.
Wrinkle-reducing injectables are most effective for lines between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and across the forehead. Their effects last three to four months. Both Botox and Dysport produce similarly smoothing results, so Dr. Brownell helps determine which one is right for your particular needs and aesthetic goals.
What are dermal filler injectables?
At Westport Medispa, Dr. Brownell personally applies Juvéderm® and Restylane® products to ease lines and plump areas of lost volume. Both of these injectables contain a type of compound called hyaluronic acid to restore a more youthful look.
Hyaluronic acid is natural, and you produce a lot of it in your youth. As you age, however, production slows down, so wrinkles become more prominent, and your cheeks and lips thin. Injections of Juvéderm and Restylane restore your hyaluronic levels, so you look more like you did when you were younger.
Fillers are most commonly used to:
Plump lips
Smooth smile lines
Volumize cheeks
Ease marionette lines and smoker’s lines
Lessen wrinkles around the eyes
The product that’s right for you depends on the type and location of your wrinkles. Dr. Brownell expertly recommends where dermal fillers can help you and what type is best for your metabolism. Dermal fillers bring about effects that last 6-18 months, depending on the formula and the area treated.
