Non-Surgical Treatments
Not everyone needs to undergo facial surgery to restore a youthful appearance. Many individuals can undergo non-surgical treatments to correct wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss that occur with facial aging. Injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and injectable fillers such as JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, and RADIESSE® offer non-surgical treatments to restore a more youthful appearance to your face. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Allen Doezie personally conducts each of these treatments to correct signs of facial aging, including the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription injectable that temporarily corrects the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles in the upper face. BOTOX® Cosmetic is comprised of a protein neurotoxin derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected into the facial muscles that cause wrinkles or fine lines, BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the nerve impulses, slowing the muscle contractions that cause folds or furrows to appear so that the face appears smoother and younger. Results from BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment last for three to four months.
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel that enhances facial volume and minimizes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. Dr. Doezie uses JUVÉDERM® to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds and thinning lips. Hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the skin, depletes over time due to aging. JUVÉDERM® injections restore the balance of hyaluronic acid to hydrate and add volume to the skin. Results from JUVÉDERM® treatment last up to one year.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel that corrects age-related volume loss in the cheek area. Dr. Doezie uses JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC to restore cheek volume and improve facial lift and contour for a more youthful appearance. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC treatment results last up to two years.
RADIESSE®
RADIESSE® is an injectable dermal filler that stimulates collagen production to strengthen and improve the appearance of the skin. RADIESSE® is a water-based gel filled with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. When injected into the skin, RADIESSE® enhances facial volume and smooths the appearance of wrinkles. Results from RADIESSE® treatment can last up to a year or longer.
Non-surgical treatments provide a way for individuals to improve signs of facial aging without undergoing surgery. While results are temporary and vary from patient to patient, each of these treatments is FDA approved to safely and effectively correct signs of facial aging. Each treatment can be repeated as desired for more long-term maintenance of the results.
