Vanessa is a miracle worker! Not only can she do an excellent Botox treatment plan, but most importantly she’s been able to help me on my hormone balancing journey. She truly listens and cares and I look forward to working with Vanessa! As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
I have been seeing Vanessa for years for all of my skin care needs. I was absolutely thrilled when her and her husband, Chuck, opened their own place. They take care of me so well, that I wouldn't go anywhere else for skin care services. They actively listen, take the time to know my goals, and we set a plan together. The amount of services they offer is incredible and truly treat you like...
A: This looks like an area where filler was injected superficially and is visible under the skin. Dissolving the filler would remedy the problem. It may seem bigger after injections because of the associated swelling accompanying injections and lip filler's hydrophilic properties.
A: Typically, Lyft lasts longer than that but potentially something like Sculptra or Radiesse could last longer as they are clinically indicated to last 2 years and 18 months.
A: The effect is immediate however, there is swelling when you initially inject it. I find that the filler usually looks its best about a week after injection when it's integrated into the tissue and the swelling is gone.
A: The injector likely hit the DLI (depressor labia inferioris) instead of the DAO or mentalis. This can create an asymmetrical smile. Normally I recommend just allowing the dysport to wear off if this occurs. Since the other side was also treated and potentially overtreated, I would avoid treating in this area until the muscles completely recover. Some providers, including myself have seen some success with using Upneeq to temporarily increase the muscle activity in the DLI by placing the Upneeq in the mucosa of the lower gums. But, I do think, with time the muscles will go back to normal.
A: It sounds like you may have some post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), hemosiderin staining or potentially extremely thinned skin from over hylenexing. It could even be that some of the filler has migrated so close to the surface that its creating a blue tint called the Tindel Effect. Treatment would depend on the actual cause. IPL that addresses red pigment could help if its staining or (PIH). If the skin is very thin, then treatments to increase collagen and perhaps even a thin filler meant for perioral lines could help. If its Tindel-more hylenex should be used.
