Does Eye Filler Get Rid of Bags?

Cosmetic Fillers /

Tear trough fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can replace volume loss in the tear trough hollows. These cosmetic injections re-volumize the under-eye area for a more youthful, refreshed look. The thin skin around the eyes loses fat as part of the natural aging process. This can cause puffy bags and indented shadows that look like dark circles. Under-eye fillers smooth out this fragile area, helping to create a more rested look.  However, fillers do not correct eye puffiness that results from fat herniation, edema from allergies, or severe skin laxity.  A surgical blepharoplasty is the preferred procedure of choice in these cases. Your doctor will access your tear trough and recommend the best treatment suited for you.

How Do Facial Fillers Work?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the best filler for eye bags and hollows because it’s a biocompatible material that our bodies produce naturally. Products like Restylane and Juvederm are popular HA-based facial fillers. They have a smaller molecular structure that is easily manipulated for natural-looking improvements. However, while dermal filler can improve the look of mild to moderate under-eye bags and puffiness, it cannot correct large, fluid-filled bags or dark circles caused by pigmentation.

Conservative Injections For Optimal Results

A conservative approach is always recommended when injecting filler around the eyes. Too much filler will create an unnatural look. While the area is visibly plumped after the first injection, we advise a follow-up appointment in 10-14 days. In this way, we can do touch-ups where needed to achieve optimal results.

What Happens During The Procedure?

A topical numbing agent is applied and left to sit on the skin for 30 minutes. Once the skin is numbed, the hyaluronic acid filler is injected with a cannula or small needle. It is perfectly normal to feel some pressure as the filler is injected. Juvederm and Restylane contain lidocaine which numbs and constricts blood vessels. After the injection, a light massage over the skin helps to settle and smooth the gel-like filler.

Under-Eye Filler Can Last More Than A Year

Under-eye filler generally lasts nine months to a year and sometimes longer. Because the under-eye area has less movement than the mouth or the cheeks, it usually lasts longer. Everyone metabolizes hyaluronic acid at different rates so the duration can vary from patient to patient. During your Dallas dermatology appointment, your doctor will recommend a timeline for follow-up treatments to maintain results.

When Will I See The Results?

You will start to see improvements in texture and volume right away, with continued improvements over the following two weeks as the filler begins to settle. In addition, shadows caused by slight indentations are minimized, producing a brighter under-eye area.

There Is No Downtime Involved

There is no need to take time off work after getting under eye filler. While mild swelling and bruising may occur, these side effects resolve within a few days. Cold compresses can help with inflammation.

Freshen Up Your Look Without Surgery

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, our board-certified dermatologists have extensive knowledge of facial anatomy. We believe subtle improvements yield a more natural result, and we always take a conservative approach when doing facial filler treatments. Say goodbye to under-eye bags that can make you look tired and older than your actual years. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.

What Fillers Are Most Common For Men?

Cosmetic Fillers /

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, the most popular fillers for men are chin, jawline, and cheek injections. Dermal filler injections with products like Restylane and Juvederm are a safe and effective way to reshape facial features and reverse the effects of age, gravity, and sun damage. Composed of a gel-like substance, facial fillers add volume to soften creases and can be artfully injected to contour the jawline and chin for a more masculine and angular profile.

1. Jawline Contouring

Carefully injected filler along the lateral jawline can provide a more chiseled profile. Men can benefit from this lunch-hour treatment. Jawline filler serves several purposes. It can create a stronger, square-looking profile, balance an asymmetrical jaw, and reduce the appearance of jowls.

2. Reshape and Augment the Chin

Fillers can also create facial harmony and balance by adding subtle projection to the chin. In addition, they enhance natural bone structure to create a strong profile that exudes authority and confidence. Fillers can also fill in a cleft and create a better definition between the neck and face.

3. Restore Volume to the Midface

Collagen and elastin levels decline with age, and this volume loss is particularly evident in the midface. Men can achieve a more youthful look by having fillers injected in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area. Fillers can plump up hollow temples, lift and sculpt cheeks and improve the appearance of tired and sunken eyes.

4. Smooth Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Dermal fillers are an excellent, non-surgical way to combat the inevitable signs of aging, like deeper nasolabial folds and lines that form with repetitive facial expressions. Results are almost immediate, with continued improvements in texture and volume for up to 12 months.

5. Nose Reshaping

Facial filler can disguise nasal humps, add projection to the nasal tip and even create a straighter-looking nasal bridge.

6. Combining Fillers with Other Injectables

Many of our patients benefit from combining dermal filler with other cosmetic treatments for men. For example, Botox injections prevent muscle contractions that cause wrinkles and can erase forehead lines and deep furrows between the brows. Injections are virtually painless, and the results generally last up to 4 months.

Fantastic yet natural-looking results can be achieved with a Botox and filler combination during your Dallas dermatology appointment.

Cosmetic Treatments for Men at Dallas Dermatology Partners

Whether you want to bring more definition to the chin and jaw or regain a more youthful edge, our skilled dermatologists can outline the best treatment plan during a private consultation. Contact us today to book your appointment with an expert who understands the goals of male patients.

How Long Does Botox Last?

Botox Injections /

In general, Botox lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months. The longevity of Botox injections depends on the areas being treated, the number of units given, and individual metabolism.

Why does this neuromodulator, which stops muscle contractions, eventually wear off? The body is continually producing new neurotransmitters that spring into action once the nerve-blocking action of Botox fades.

Why does Botox longevity vary from person to person?

Like all cosmetic injectables, Botox has a finite lifespan. There are certain factors that can impact the effects of this wrinkle-smoothing treatment. People who do intense cardio workouts more than 5 times a week may metabolize Botox faster than those with less intensely active lifestyles.

Areas that have lots of expressive movement, like around the eyes, may not last as long as the frown lines between the brows or creases along the forehead.

Botox will wear off faster when the body is under constant stress. This is due to an increased production of cortisol, a hormone that stimulates collagen degradation.

Everyone’s physiology is different. If you find that Botox results are not lasting as long as had hoped, you may benefit from switching to Dysport, another injectable that erases fine lines and wrinkles.

Call for a Consultation 

 

botox side effects

How often do I need to have Botox injections?

It is best to have Botox injections before the effects of the last treatment have completely worn off. In this way, the neuromodulator is still keeping the muscles somewhat relaxed, and the skin smooth and wrinkle-free. For some people, this means scheduling repeat appointments every 3 to 4 months.

Regular Botox users may notice that results are lasting longer after each treatment. That’s because the muscles are weakened to a small extent, and the muscle memory of previous expressions has faded.

Does Dysport last longer?

While Dysport, which also originates from Clostridium botulinum, has the same effect as Botox, it takes less time – about 3 days — to see initial results. On average, a Botox treatment can last 3-6 months, while Dysport injections will last up to four months.

Is there a longer-lasting alternative to Botox and Dysport?

Yes, the FDA recently approved Daxxify. According to research, the effects of this neuromodulator can last from 6-9 months. Daxxify is coated in peptides that help it bind quickly to nerve receptors, helping to extend longevity. Additionally, patients who had the injectable treatment noticed improvements in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles within two days, compared to Dysport’s 3 days and Botox’s 14 days.

How can I make Botox results last longer?

One of the best ways to extend the longevity of your Botox results is by getting your injections from board-certified dermatologists. During your Dallas dermatology appointment, injection placement and dosage are chosen with precision for maximum benefit.

Adopting a healthy diet and good skincare routine can also go a long way to maintaining your results. Stay youthful-looking for many years with personalized care from Dallas Dermatology Partners. Contact us today to learn more about getting Botox in Dallas and to arrange a private consultation.

Does Chin Filler Give You A Jawline?

Cosmetic Fillers /

Yes, chin filler can help improve your jawline when strategically injected. But, for best results on the lower face, it should be combined with a jawline filler with more structure and lift capacity. Of course, if you’re looking to correct asymmetry or enhance chin projection, then chin filler can be incredibly effective. But if a more angular and defined profile is on your wish list, talk to our team at Dallas Dermatology Partners about Juvederm VOLUX, the latest addition to the Juvederm family of facial fillers.

Chin & Jaw Filler Combination for Best Results

Juvederm VOLUX is the first hyaluronic acid-based filler specifically formulated and FDA-approved for use on the jawline. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound that plumps and adds volume for improved structure and harmony.

On its own, filler injected in the chin can help improve size and shape, but it won’t affect the lateral jawline. However, targeted injections of Juvederm Volux can help provide a more chiseled and pronounced jawline. What makes Juvederm Volux different from other hyaluronic acid fillers? It has a much thicker formulation and better cohesivity for more “lifting” action.

Benefits of Jaw & Chin Fillers

Whether due to age, gravity, or genetics, loss of jawline definition is easily remedied with dermal fillers. Facial filler injections are a popular, non-surgical way to address aesthetic concerns with minimal side effects and downtime.

Used in conjunction, chin and jaw fillers can help:

  • Improve symmetry and facial harmony
  • Contour a receding jawline
  • Add more definition
  • Create a more lifted appearance
  • Correct a recessed chin
  • Minimize the appearance of jowls
  • Balance facial features

How Long Do Chin and Jawline Filler Results Last?

Everyone metabolizes hyaluronic acid filler at different rates. The compound will naturally break down over time, and depending on the amount injected, you can expect your results to last between 8 and 16 months. To maintain desired results, plan touch-up treatments every 6-8 months or as recommended by your dermatologist.

What to Expect During the Treatment

The procedure is relatively quick and usually takes less than 30 minutes. Your dermatologist will administer a series of subcutaneous injections based on your desired goals and facial shape, gently massaging the filler in place.

Results are immediate, but the full effects won’t be evident for a week when the facial filler has settled. The most common side effects, which last a couple of days, are mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the points of injection. There is no downtime, and you can get back to work and your normal routine immediately after your Dallas dermatology appointment.

Jawline Contouring at Dallas Dermatology Partners

Enhanced definition of the chin and jawline can help balance the lower face. Facial fillers are a safe and cost-effective way to restore proportions and address common cosmetic concerns. Contact us today to learn more about chin and jawline filler treatment with our board-certified dermatologists.

What Age Should I Start Botox?

Botox Injections /

You can start treating your skin with Botox injectables at almost any age—from your 20s onward. For example, if you’re treating wrinkles, you’ll likely want to start on Botox in your 40s or 50s. However, you could begin as early as your 20s. At this age, it can be used as a preventive strategy or for medical purposes. Our goal at Dallas Dermatology Partners is to provide exceptional care to all our patients. We’re happy to consult with you on Botox injectables—regardless of your age.

Using Botox in your 20s and 30s as a preventive modality

If you’re in your 20s, you might not have spotted your first wrinkle. And if you’re in your 30s, you might only have started to develop a few minor, barely noticeable lines. Yet, it can still be an excellent time to get started with Botox treatments. When done in your 20s and 30s, receiving Botox in Dallas is a preventive strategy.

Wrinkles form due to repeated muscle contractions in the same spot over a long period. The purpose of early Botox treatments is to prevent specific muscles from contracting in a way that leads to wrinkle formation. In other words, you can delay the point at which you’ll start to see those moderate to severe lines on your face. Preventive Botox is often used on the forehead and glabellar area–between the eyebrows.

Using Botox in your 40s and onward to treat existing wrinkles

After you celebrate your 40th birthday, your goals for Botox treatment will likely be primarily therapeutic or aesthetic–rather than preventive. You’ll already have visible lines and wrinkles. And if you’re in your 50s or older, those lines and wrinkles will likely be moderate to severe. Botox injectables are an effective way to correct these signs of aging temporarily.

Using Botox as an adult of any age for a lip flip

Botox has many more uses than treating or preventing wrinkles–another reason it can be an ideal option for adults of any age. You’ve likely heard of lip injectables and surgical lip implants used to create a full, sensuous, pouty mouth. Yet, there is another way to accomplish this desirable look.

A nonsurgical lip flip involves the strategic use of Botox, which makes the lips look much fuller without increasing their volume. Your dermatologist will inject precise amounts of Botox into the corners of the mouth and along the vermilion border. It causes the upper mouth muscles to relax, resulting in a slight “flip up” of the upper lip, making it appear fuller.

Using Botox for medical purposes

A doctor may sometimes recommend Botox for treating children and adults with specific medical conditions. For example, adolescents with debilitating, chronic migraines may benefit from Botox injections.

In addition to headaches, here are some other medical uses of Botox:

  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
  • Narrowed/closing eyelids
  • Muscle spasms
  • Crossed eyes
  • Foot pain caused by tight muscles
  • Overactive sweating
  • Overactive bladder

How To Treat Post-Acne Marks

Acne Care /

Roughly 90 percent of people experience acne breakouts as adolescents or adults. The majority of these blemishes heal without dark spots or scarring. But some acne can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), where the body produces excess melanin, causing patches of skin that appear brown, pink, or red.

If you are struggling with post-acne marks and discoloration, there are a variety of non-invasive treatments that can fade stubborn pigmentation and improve texture. At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we offer quick, effective treatments that target everything from PIH to acne scarring.

Book an Appointment
  

Laser Resurfacing & Broadband Light (BBL)

Several cutting-edge laser and broadband light treatments target PIH and moderate scarring from breakouts. These devices are precisely calibrated to reduce excess pigment and stimulate collagen production. The primary advantage of laser resurfacing for post-acne marks is the excellent results with minimal downtime.

Correcting acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is never a one size fits all approach. Our practice utilizes the following devices to address post-breakout skin imperfections.

Halo Laser: This fractional hybrid laser delivers impressive results with fewer treatments. Safe for most skin types, the Halo combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to banish discoloration and trigger collagen production.

Contour TRL: Those with moderate acne scarring may benefit from this ablative Erbium laser treatment. The tunable resurfacing laser removes the outermost damaged layer of skin. It can also be adjusted for a shallower treatment, known as a micro laser peel.

BBL Hero: BBL Hero harnesses the power of broadband light to treat dark spots and scarring caused by acne. One of the benefits of BBL Hero is that it’s four times faster and three times more powerful than standard IPL.

Moxi Laser: The Sciton Moxi is one of the only lasers that can safely correct post-inflammatory pigmentation in patients with darker skin tones. Moxi oX5 delivers non-ablative laser energy below the epidermis to eliminate discoloration and smooth textural problems.

BBL Photofacial: This phototherapy can be fine-tuned to reverse the negative cell changes triggered by post-acne inflammation. The treatment is gentle and requires zero downtime. Most patients will need a series of 3-5 sessions.

Genius RF Micronedling: This combines fractional radiofrequency energy with microneedling to optimize skin tightening with rejuvenating results. This is effective for acne scars and post acne marks. Most patients will benefit from a series of 3 treatments each one month apart.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are acid solutions that loosen cells that form the “glue” within the skin. This exfoliation process improves the appearance of shallow scars and dark spots left from breakouts. Chemical peels are customized to accommodate specific concerns, skin tone, and sensitivity. For example, our dermatologists may recommend a glycolic acid or a VI peel to correct acne-related imperfections and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Get the Glowing Skin You Deserve

There are several effective options for post-acne that will leave you with healthy, glowing skin. Schedule a Dallas dermatology appointment to discuss the best approach for amazing results. Our board-certified dermatologists are the best in their field and offer a full range of chemical peels, BBL photofacials, and laser treatments.

Botox vs. Dermal Fillers: What’s the Difference?

Botox Injections, Cosmetic Fillers /

Whether you’re interested in fuller lips or youthful skin, cosmetic treatments can help you turn your goals into a reality. Some of the most popular injectables, Botox and dermal fillers, are usually given in a doctor’s office. These procedures are minimally invasive so you can return to your daily routine with minimal downtime.

That said, Botox and dermal or facial fillers are far from the same—each injectable works differently. At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we’re here to help you navigate the differences between each option so you can make the best choice.

What is Botox?

Botox Cosmetic, also called onabotulinumtoxinA, is an injectable medication used safely to achieve a youthful, natural appearance since 1989. Botox works by blocking nerve signals and temporarily stopping or reducing muscle activity in injected areas while preserving your normal facial expressions–for a subtle result. This process helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for up to six months with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Before you schedule an appointment to get Botox in Dallas, it’s important to search for the right dermatologist, credentials, and experience. Our expert dermatologists take a conservative approach to Botox to provide natural results that align with your unique aesthetic goals.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injections given under the skin. Like Botox, they can help smooth fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and add fullness. The most notable difference between dermal fillers and Botox is the length of the results.

Some fillers are temporary, meaning the injected substances are gradually broken down and absorbed by your body and can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Other synthetic dermal fillers can last as long as 2 to 5 years. FDA-approved fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA).

What’s the difference between Botox and filler?

Now that you know what Botox and dermal filler are, what are their main differences? And which is the best choice for you? While dermal fillers and Botox injections can help treat fine lines and wrinkles, they work differently to achieve the desired result.

Here are some of the main differences between Botox and dermal fillers:

  • Uses: Dermal fillers are implants injected under the skin, while Botox is injected into the muscle. Dermal fillers are primarily used for cosmetic purposes, while some versions of Botox can be injected to treat medical conditions, such as muscle stiffness or migraines.
  • Results: Unlike Botox, dermal fillers provide more immediate, long-lasting results. Most people see results from Botox within three to four months after treatment, and patients often get repeated injections to maintain their results.
  • Side effects: The side effects of dermal fillers can arise a few days after injections, with most disappearing within one to two weeks. Dermal fillers can cause bruising and swelling around the injection site, and Botox may cause swelling and redness.

To find out which treatment is right for you, schedule a Dallas dermatology appointment with one of our compassionate doctors. We’ll help you explore your options and deliver personalized care so you can enjoy beautiful, natural-looking results.

How Long Do Sculptra Results Last?

Cosmetic Fillers /

The results from Sculptra generally last more than two years, though this can vary among individuals. It is a highly effective collagen-building filler that helps restore firmness and volume to aging skin.

This FDA-approved facial filler rejuvenates the skin by stimulating your body to produce collagen. It is the protein that keeps the skin supple and elastic. By triggering collagen synthesis deep within the dermis, the skin’s inner support structure is restored for a more youthful look. At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we’re here to provide exceptional dermatology care to all our patients. So if you’re interested in this versatile filler, contact us for a consult.

What Is Sculptra?

Most volume-restoring injectables are composed of hyaluronic acid, which provides instant but relatively short-lived results. On the other hand, Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a collagen-stimulating compound. It allows the skin to gradually renew its structural foundation over a period of months.

It is a versatile filler that is effective for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, lifting sagging skin, filling hollow areas, and contouring features. It is an ideal treatment for those looking for subtle, natural-looking improvements.

Call for a Consultation

How Long Until You See Effects?

Because collagen production takes time, the initial effects of a Sculptra treatment are usually evident after six weeks. Changes in volumization and firmness will continue to improve with each passing month.

How Many Sculptra Treatments Are Needed?

Our dermatologists optimize Sculptra in Dallas results with two-to-three treatments spaced one month apart. The quality of the skin, the location of the injections, and the dosage administered will affect the longevity of the final results.

Tips for Maintaining Results

Follow these tips to prolong the rejuvenating effects of Sculptra:

  • Minimize UV exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
  • Use quality anti-aging skincare products that are formulated to protect dermal health
  • Stay hydrated and consume nutrient-dense whole foods
  • Avoid aggressors like tobacco and alcohol, as both trigger an inflammatory response that destroys collagen and inhibits the synthesis of this vital protein

Finally, you can maintain collagen production with 1 or 2 Sculptra treatments every year, as indicated by your dermatologist.

What Areas Can You Treat with Sculptra?

Sculptra can help you turn back time, providing long-lasting improvements in addressing the following:

  • Hollow temples
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Smile lines
  • Volume loss in cheeks
  • Chest and chin wrinkles
  • Sagging jawlines
  • Skin laxity on the knees and upper arms
  • Veins and volume loss on the hands
  • Buttock lifting

Sciton Moxi – A Gentle Non-Ablative Laser
