CLAIM YOUR PROFILERadiesse treatment is especially good for adding volume to cheeks since it contains calcium hydroxyapatite and can be contoured and shaped after the injection. The trained physician can mold the dermal filler to the shape of your cheeks and mold it out just the way you want it. While 2-3 fillers are recommended for lift and define the cheek area and helping out with the deep laugh lines around the mouth, it is always a good idea to "start small" and slowly add some more filler as needed, rather than overfilling and not receiving the optimal look you are going for. At Laser Touch Medical Clinic, we like to access the area we are working with, take into consideration what the patient's likes and overall result to be; meaning if someone has slimmer features there is no need to overfill to correct certain areas and in turn exaggerate cheekbones that do not compliment the overall facial features, and vice versa.

Dermal fillers such as Juvederm Volbella or Restylane Silk, which are hyaluronic-based and the thinnest in their respective families are two of the options to non-surgically correct vertical lines around the mouth, more commonly known as "smoker's or lipstick lines." To correct these lines, small amounts of dermal fillers are injected into precise locations and along the lines and lip border.
Because these lines are pesky and they are more prominent when using either smoking, using straws or continuously pursing the lips along with fillers, small amount of Botox are injected around the mouth to relax the muscles. Topical creams that contain retinoids can gently resurface collagen in the deep layers of the skin, derma-rolling stimulates the production of new collagen to soften fine lines and improve skin texture and fractional ablative and non-ablative lasers can cause microzones of collagen repair which resurface vertical lip lines.

Depending on the area of the body where you have sagging and crepey skin, anywhere from creams to non-invasive laser procedures are recommended. Retinols help restore skin's elasticity and thicken collagen (this gives skin structure) as well as elastin (this gives skin the stretch). Lactic, salicylic, glycolic and hyaluronic acid can keep the skin moisturized and help improve the skin's appearance. For our patients, we offer non-surgical treatments and technology such as Venus Freeze- an ultrasound energy, that heats skin at specific depths (up to 5mm deep) and locations to induce collagen production and help skin become firmer. Ultrasound technology has been used in medicine for many decades, and ultrasound skin tightening has an excellent safety profile. It is effective for older patients looking for a mini facelift without surgery and for younger patients who want to maintain their skin profile and prevent skin laxity as they age.

When it comes to hair loss, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair loss therapy is quickly becoming one of the hottest treatments to address this issue. Hair loss therapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a patient’s scalp with a concentrated solution derived from their own blood. There is growing evidence that this process can stimulate hair growth in many people, thus avoiding the need for a hair transplant in some cases and enhancing a hair transplant in others. With this type of therapy, we normally recommend three treatments as the initial treatment about 4-6 weeks apart. After this session, the patient may choose to have follow-up treatments every four to six weeks for optimal results.

Botox is, of course, a treatment for fine lines and wrinkles and while Botox is more preventative than restorative. The active ingredient in Botox would “freeze” facial muscles to keep you from contracting them in ways that deepen lines and wrinkles. After a treatment of Botox, if any lines are still present at rest, whether it is an etched in frown line, or a deep wrinkle, is not going to disappear with Botox. This concern would be more addressed with dermal fillers as they are used to fill in "etched" lines on the forehead and frown lines made by constant muscle movement. Keep in mind Botox and dermal fillers while they are injectables, they serve different purposes but a combination of both would bring great results. Another point to address would be the strength of the Botox injected and if it was injected too superficial or not?
