Injectables by Dr. Stacy
ALL ABOUT
INJECTABLES
Botulinum Toxin
Tox injections (Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau, Botox) work by relaxing the tiny muscles that cause expressive lines in the face, such as crow's feet, frown, eleven, & forehead lines. These injections temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles that with aging can cause the skin to wrinkle. When muscles relax, the skin overlying them looks smoother and refreshed. The result is a natural, more youthful appearance - without changing the way you express yourself. This treatment is quick and minimally invasive, requiring little to no down time. Results typically become noticeable within a few days and last three to four months.
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable treatment that stimulates your skin's own natural collagen production. Sculptra works differently from traditional fillers; instead of adding immediate volume, Sculptra gradually and subtly restores skin structure and firmness over time. This creates long-lasting, natural results. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid (a biocompatible plant-based material), and is truly the gold standard for collagen production.
Every year after the age of 20, the skin loses 1% of it's collagen. *A 50 year old has lost 30% of her/his collagen!* Collagen loss is a primary underlying cause of aging skin. Sculptra has been proven safe over decades of use, and has been shown to stimulate collagen production two or more years post-injection. Treatment typically requires 3 sessions, each spaced 5 weeks apart. Results are gradual, refreshed, and youthful.
Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers are medical injectables designed to restore volume, smooth fine lines, create structure, and enhance facial contours. I use filler that is made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring gel-like substance in the body that attracts and holds moisture. Hyaluronic acid is naturally broken down by the body over time. By carefully placing filler in specific areas-such as the cheeks, jawline, temples, and chin- I can restore youthful balance, improve symmetry, and soften signs of aging. Dermal filler can also be used to augment areas of the face, such as the lips. The results are immediate and custom to you, allowing you to leave your appointment refreshed, natural, and glowing without altering your unique features.
