BOTOX and Juvederm Fillers Are Often Used Together to Reduce Wrinkles

Many women and men are concerned with the appearance of lines and wrinkles, particularly on their faces. The medical professionals at our Twin Cities skin care clinic have extensive training and experience in minimizing these problems for our clients and helping them achieve a younger-looking appearance. In many cases, two different approaches are needed and can be combined, either in a single treatment or separately, to accomplish our clients’ goals. BOTOX is often used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the forehead, while a variety of Juvederm hyaluronic acid fillers are very effective in treating lines and wrinkles elsewhere on the face. Since they work differently and on different areas, it’s common to use both products. In fact, we offer special discounts for combination treatments to help our clients keep the cost of these procedures as low as possible.

• BOTOX Injections Reduce the Appearance of Lines on the Forehead

  Every time people raise their eyebrows or frown, the muscles in the forehead contract, causing lines to appear. In very young people, those lines disappear as soon as the muscles relax. Over time, however, the repeated movements tend to make the lines more permanent and deeper. The introduction of BOTOX by Allergan provided a way for medical professionals to help create a more youthful appearance through injection of this medication in the forehead area. BOTOX relaxes the muscles that create forehead lines and wrinkles and is very effective in minimizing their appearance.

  This treatment can last up to 4 months, and can be repeated to continue to provide a more youthful appearance. The tiny injections are almost painless and take only a brief time to administer. There’s no recovery time and the results are apparent almost immediately. With skillful use by our experienced medical professionals, others will never know you’ve had a BOTOX treatment. They’ll only see a younger-looking you. Side effect are very rare and the results are dramatic. That’s why these treatments are one of the most popular options at our medical spa in the Minneapolis St. Paul area.

• Juvederm Filler Injections Minimize Facial Wrinkles

  While BOTOX is very effective in reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the forehead, it can’t usually be used elsewhere on the face, since its muscle-relaxing properties would affect facial expressions and other movement of facial muscles. For wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose and in other facial areas, Allergan has developed hyaluronic acid fillers that can be artistically injected to restore those areas to their youthful fullness and reduce or remove such lines. Facial lines become deeper and more visible as people reach adulthood and begin to lose collagen and supportive tissue where those lines occur. By replacing that lost material, Juvederm injections work to rejuvenate and restore.

  Lines develop in different areas of the face. Different formulations of Juvederm have been developed that are designed specifically for each area. Artistic, careful injections are made by our highly trained and artistic medical professionals, using a fine needle to gently fill the area under each line. A local anesthetic, lidocaine, is included in these injectable fillers to make the process almost pain-free. Treatments can be done at the same time BOTOX injections are given for forehead lines, and take very little time. Results are visible immediately from these injections and those results can last for a year or more. Since the ingredients in these products are naturally-occurring in the human body, they are slowly reabsorbed. The treatments can be repeated, as needed, to provide long-term results. Each product is uniquely formulated to treat different facial area lines and wrinkles:

  • Juvederm XC – This injectable gel dermal filler is used primarily for treating smile lines, marionette lines and vertical lines around the mouth. Results can be dramatic.
  • Juvederm Voluma XC – The special formulation of this product is designed to restore youthful fullness and volume to the cheek area. Results can last up to two years.
  • Juvederm Volbella – Specifically formulated to improve lip fullness and reduce visibility of fine lines around the mouth, this recently FDA-approved filler has become very popular.
  • Juvederm Vollure XC – Deep lines around the nose and mouth require their own formulation of hyaluronic acid filler. Recently introduced, these injections are now available to clients at our Twin Cities medical spa.

• Combining BOTOX and Juvederm Treatments Can Rejuvenate Your Entire Face

  No single treatment can do everything when it comes to facial lines and wrinkles. That’s why so many of our clients choose to combine procedures using different products to achieve maximum improvement. To meet the needs of our clients and to help them save on combined treatments, our Minneapolis area medical spa offers exclusive discounts for combined treatments. We also offer Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions program, which provides additional discounts for all Allergan products.
