What are neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins, commonly known as neuromodulators, temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles. They're ideal for treating dynamic lines, which form due to facial expressions like smiling or squinting.

At our practice, we offer popular neurotoxins like BOTOX® and Dysport®. These treatments work by targeting specific areas of the face to:

• Smooth out forehead wrinkles
• Reduce Crow's feet near the eyes
• Minimize frown lines between the eyebrows ("11 lines")

Results generally last 3 – 4 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain a. refreshed appearance. Thanks to their quick application process, patients can easily fit a BOTOX appointment into their busy schedules.

How long do dermal fillers last?

If your skin is losing volume and elasticity, dermal fillers could be the answer. Aging often leads to facial volume loss, resulting in a hollowed appearance around the cheeks, under the eyes, and along the jawline. Dermal fillers can restore lost volume, smooth away wrinkles, and even plump thin lips.

Dr. Josh is proud to offer leading filler brands like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, Sculptra®, and the RHA® Collection:

• JUVÉDERM is great for smoothing nasolabial folds and adding fullness to the lips
• Restylane is versatile, offering solutions for under-eye hollows, lips, and cheeks
• Sculptra stimulates collagen production for gradual, long-lasting results
• RHA Collection focuses on dynamic areas of the face, maintaining a natural look even when making facial expressions

The longevity of fillers depends on the type used and the injection site. For example:

• JUVÉDERM and Restylane fillers often last 6 – 12 months
• Sculptra can last up to two years due to its collagen-boosting effects
• The RHA Collection provides results that can also extend beyond a year in many cases

Which injectable is right for your needs?

Still unsure which injectable is right for your needs in Crestview, FL? Here are some guiding points to consider:

• What areas of the face do you want to target? For example, neurotoxins will work for forehead wrinkles, while fillers are made for facial volume loss that leads to hollow cheeks and thin lips.
• What kind of results do you want? Some injectables offer more subtle outcomes, while others can create a more noticeable transformation.
• The best anti-aging skin care starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Josh can perform an assessment and talk with you about your concerns and goals.
