Neurotoxins, like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, can help with fine lines by immobilizing the muscles, and fillers can help to restore volume but which should come first? We asked Greenwich, CT, dermatologist Henry Gasiorowski, MD, to explain.
Loss of volume and fine lines can often occur simultaneously, he says, but starting with neurotoxins can be a smart start. “We often get patients in their ...]]> http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/2012/04/26/what-comes-first-neurotoxins-or-fillers/feed/ 0 http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/2012/04/17/kiss-your-lip-lines-good-bye/ http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/2012/04/17/kiss-your-lip-lines-good-bye/#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:21:33 +0000 Skin Deep http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/?p=1210
Everyone likes to pucker up from time to time, but that pursing motion along with ageing, collagen and elastin loss can cause those tiny vertical lines to develop across the top of your upper lip. Not only do these lines make you look older, but they also cause your lipstick to bleed beyond your lips. However, you can keep these fine lines at bay or diminish them if they’ve started to appear. Here’s how:

The ageing process leads to loss of volume in the lower face and cheeks, formation of wrinkles and loss of lip volume. Dermal fillers can address all these issues. There are many kinds of dermal fillers available. Some are permanent or semi-permanent and some are temporary. Some are composed of animal or human tissue and others are synthetic.

This makes beauty enhancement treatments like plastic surgery, in high demand. However, many people don’t like the thought of going under the knife yet they think this may be their best or only option. This is just not so. There are many alternatives to surgery that can still help you reach your goals. Botox is a popular and long practiced treatment that may be the solution you are looking for.

You may have tried temporary fillers and are pleased with the results, so are you ready to try a more permanent solution to smooth wrinkles or improve the shape of your features? “Permanent” certainly sounds final, but Pittsburgh, PA, plastic surgeon James Fernau, MD, explains that while they offer long-term results, you can reverse your decision.
First, we ask Dr. Fernau to explain who might want to consider implants or permanent fillers. “Chin implants are best for ...]]> http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/2012/03/24/should-you-permanently-smooth-wrinkles/feed/ 0 http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/2012/03/17/pairing-fillers-with-botox-for-better-results/ http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/2012/03/17/pairing-fillers-with-botox-for-better-results/#comments Sat, 17 Mar 2012 08:56:25 +0000 Skin Deep http://www.skindeepmedical.co.uk/?p=1178

If you’re planning to undergo an injectable treatment with a hyaluronic-acid filler such as Juvederm, and it’s
within your budget, you may want to consider asking your doctor about including Botox or Dysport in the procedure.


Studies have shown that filler results may last longer when used in tandem with Botox. Many doctors believe that by reducing muscle contractions, Botox and Dysport help slow the breakdown of the filler due to less movement in the area.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a few different injectable neurotoxins. So how do we decide which is the best choice? While the training and experience of your injector should hold priority to the product choice, a quick comparison of Botox, Xeomin and Dysport, the only three botulinum toxin injectables approved by the FDA for treating facial aesthetics, may simplify this decision.

We first told you about Selphyl, a type of facial filler made from your own blood, in April 2010. At the time, the procedure sounded promising, but results were yet to be seen. Now, doctors across the country are reporting great outcomes as more and more of them add it to their arsenal of anti-aging strategies.
