Do you have holiday parties coming up between now and the end of the year? Thanksgiving with your inlaws, Christmas with the family, and a fun night out on New Year’s Eve! That sounds like such a fun few months, but are you ready?! So many men and women feel like they need to look their best when they’re closing out one year and getting ready for the next, and that’s totally normal and OK. Facial fillers at Pure Gold Medical Center can help you look natural, yet refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes next!

Planning your injectable treatment now gives you the perfect opportunity to look as good as you feel. You’ll have enough time to let the injectable settle into place and begin working its magic by creating a smooth, flawless complexion. Holiday photos, kisses under the mistletoe, and ringing in the new year in style is just an appointment away! Let’s discuss the options we have for you at Pure Gold Medical Center.

What Is a Filler?

Facial fillers are injectable treatments that fill the skin in order to enhance the appearance of the face, lips, or hands that have lost volume over time. The most common treatment areas include the nasolabial folds, under the eyes, the cheeks, the temples, the lips, the hands, and more!

Once injected, the substance fills in and plumps the area, making the treated area look more full, youthful, and refreshed.

Most dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a substance found naturally in the body and works by attracting and retaining moisture to tighten and smooth the skin for a healthy and hydrated look. At Pure Gold Medical Center, we offer the JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers for aesthetic enhancement. This Collection is FDA approved and trusted by many men and women who undergo filler treatments.

The JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers

Most of the JUVÉDERM fillers provide instant results that can last for up to two years. There are a few different options that we offer, and our injection specialists can help to determine which treatment would be best for you during your consultation. The JUVÉDERM dermal fillers that we offer include:

• JUVÉDERM® XC: Restores volume to the skin and smooths facial wrinkles and creases
• JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC: Lifts and contours the apples of the cheeks, improves the jowls, and helps define the jawline

The aging process is controlled mainly by your genetics, but environmental factors, repetitive motions, and general skin health can also alter the appearance of your skin. Lines and wrinkles form over time, creating the appearance of older-looking skin. But, wrinkles also appear when you make the same facial expression over, and over, and over again. Do you remember when your mom used to tell you not to make that face or else it would freeze that way?! She was right. Now is that time. Over time, our bodies lose collagen and elastin and the proteins in our skin begin to break down, resulting in unwanted lines and wrinkles around the eyes, on the forehead, and between the brows (among other places). It’s not too late, though! We can help.

At Pure Gold Medical Center, we offer BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce the appearance of these lines and wrinkles to give you a smooth, flawless facial appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most popular and trusted cosmetic treatments available to men and women today. Adding this injectable treatment to your beauty routine can help you to look youthful and fresh all the time! Let us tell you how…

What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment. The main ingredient in the BOTOX® Cosmetic solution is botulinum toxin-A, which is a neurotoxin. Neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking signals from your muscles to your brain. Once the treatment area is determined by you and your injector, the targeted muscles are injected and are temporarily paralyzed, keeping them from contracting and causing fine lines and wrinkles to form. This treatment is quick (often performed during a lunch break), and you can return to your normal activities right away.

The Benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic

There are many positive elements and benefits to BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. Besides offering natural and refreshing results for men and women in a quick 15-minute treatment, other benefits include:

• Almost immediate results
• Minimally invasive treatment
• Little to no pain and discomfort
• No downtime
• Prevention of more lines and wrinkles

BOTOX® Cosmetic Results

If you are suffering from unwanted lines and wrinkles on your face, then BOTOX® Cosmetic may be the solution you are looking for. A great skin care routine is key to having beautiful skin, but at the same time, prevention is also imperative. If you are cleansing and moisturizing well along with eating a healthy diet and staying hydrated, then that should be enough, right?! Sometimes it isn’t. Lines and wrinkles still develop on the face because of repetitive motions, environmental factors, and aging in general. BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used preventatively to stop the lines and wrinkles from getting worse. This treatment typically lasts about three months, so undergoing repeat treatments is suggested and recommended to maintain desired results. Adding BOTOX® Cosmetic to your beauty routine between facials, waxing, and other aesthetic enhancements can truly change the way you look while keeping a natural, youthful, and vibrant glow.

A flawless face and a wrinkle-free aesthetic are something to strive for. It not only enhances your appearance, but it may also increase your confidence and your quality of life so that you can live with at least one less thing to worry about!

Maintaining a fresh and vibrant aesthetic is important for many adults, both male and female. Aging and other cosmetic issues can be addressed in various ways depending on the outcome a person desires as well as his or her health and lifestyle choices. Surgery may be the appropriate option for patients with extensive facial aging, but there are also non-surgical methods to achieve a youthful appearance. 

 

The body produces less collagen and loses elasticity over time, compromising the structure of the skin and creating visible signs of aging. Some facial wrinkles form as a result of the skin folding over, but others are caused by repetitive muscle movements that crease the surface in certain areas. BOTOX® Cosmeticremedies this by temporarily halting specific muscle activity, preventing creases from forming. 

The Benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic

• Non-surgical facial rejuvenation
• Quick and safe treatment
• Minimal risk of side effects
• Natural-looking results
• FDA-approved formula

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works

BOTOX® Cosmetic is composed of botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that is FDA-approved for effective and non-surgical facial rejuvenation. If you are unhappy with wrinkles between your eyebrows, across your forehead, or around your eyes, you may benefit from this treatment. Rather than restoring volume to recessed or wrinkled areas of the face, this product reduces specific muscle movements responsible for creating unsightly creases. 

 

The nerves send a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine to the region where nerve cells reach the muscle cells, prompting the muscles to contract. When injected by a highly trained and experienced specialist, BOTOX® Cosmetic inhibits the release of acetylcholine, leaving the targeted area relaxed and smooth. 

Results After BOTOX® Cosmetic

 

There is no significant downtime needed after BOTOX® Cosmetic, so you can resume your daily routine immediately without having to make accommodations to your schedule. It may take between 24 and 48 hours for the effects to become noticeable, at which point you will see a visible improvement in the treated areas. Results are intended to last up to three to six months before needing a follow-up session. 

Other Non-surgical Options

While BOTOX® Cosmetic is an excellent solution for certain facial wrinkles, not all patients are good candidates for this treatment. Men and women with more severe facial creases or those who struggle with signs of aging related to volume loss may consider non-surgical treatment with fillers instead. 

 

Facial fillers come in a variety of formulas to address different areas of concern, including volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines. The best way to know which type of procedure will give you the results you desire is by scheduling a private consultation with your specialist. During the appointment, you will have the chance to communicate your concerns, and your condition will be thoroughly evaluated.
