loved it . Its October and it is still good . No down time and no bruising in my case. When I went in I looked tired when I left other than I needed my make up reapplied it looked great .Its pretty awesome to go in looking tired and come out looking refreshed. I also am a every four month Botox client there at the Williams center, can't live with out it and them.
My experience was exceptional in every way. I have had both filler and BOTOX treatments with Dr. Pontius in the past and then circumstances ( going to FLA in the winter) lead me to go somewhere else for my last treatment. My results are consistently better and more natural with Dr. Pontius at The Williams Center / Rejuva Center. My husband says I look 15 years younger and to keep doing whatever I'm doing
I just wanted to give a BIG thank you to Dr. Pontius and her Beautiful staff for making my appointment yesterday a true pleasure. THANK YOU! Ruthie Dedrick See you in two weeks. Hi my Megpie!
I do use Voluma quite frequently in the midface. It is an excellent filler for that area. In looking at your photos you still have a nice amount of volume in your face, especially when you smile, so if you choose Voluma you would likely just need a conservative amount. Another consideration is using Restylane in the under eye area where to me it looks like you have more volume loss than in your mid face. Often I use Voluma and Restylane in combination. I would recommend finding a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist in your area for a full consultation.
It would be important to know how much Juvederm you had injected, whether it was Juvederm Ultra or Juvederm Ultra Plus and the technique that it was injected with. I would recommend following up with your provider to assess your specific situation. However, I always advise patients that after Juvederm in the lips you may feel firmness or small "lumps" during the first 1-2 weeks. At that point the Juvederm softens and any "lumps" typically go away. Massaging the lips 8 days after injection may be somewhat helpful, however, any persistant lumps can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if necessary.
Botox is not dangerous for injection in the axillae (armpits) for sweating. It has been FDA approved for this use for many years. It is typically injected after doing a simple starch-iodine test to determine where you are producing the most sweat. It is very effective and seems to last quite some time following the injection.
The hands, just like the face, need care and attention. Since we often neglect to put sunblock on our hands they tend to age more rapidly. My recommendations for hand rejuvenation include: Radiesse injection for volume restoration. This filler is injected under the skin of the hands to help them look more volumized and youthful. It will help mask visible veins in the hands which become more prominent as we age. For the skin of the hand I would start with topical skincare products. You need to be vigilant with sunblock and reapply it throughout the day. Maintaining the moisture barrier of the hands is also important so make sure you moisturize them regularly. You might consider a heavy moisturizer at night and sleeping with cotton gloves on. Remember to treat your hands like your face. You can use your facial skincare products on your hands (or products designed exclusively for hands). The important things are to minimize environmental exposure and improve the quality of the skin on the hands at your age.
Yes you can absolutely use Vitamin C serum and HA serum together. I would recommend Vitamin C serum in the morning (it is an antioxidant which helps protect the skin from the sun, pollutants, etc). I would follow the morning application with a layer of HA serum and sunblock. In the evening it is not necessary to use the vitamin C however I would use the HA serum for moisturizing the skin at night. Other considerations for your regimen might include tretinoin, a product containing growth factors and a high quality sunblock.
