ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
Neurotoxins, also known as neuromodulators, are FDA-approved treatments to help soften and smooth both fine lines and etched wrinkles on the face. They can be used as a wrinkle treatment and for wrinkle prevention.
As we age, repetitive muscle movement causes lines to etch in the skin, creating both fine and deep wrinkles. By minimizing muscle contraction with neurotoxins, we can smooth the wrinkles and prevent further wrinkle formation, restoring smoother, refreshed looking skin that still looks natural.
Neuromodulator Treatment offered at The Studio by Carolina includes:
"Brow Lift"
Bunny lines” the fine lines that appear on either side of your nose when you wrinkle it.
"Frontalis" the muscle responsible for moving your forehead up and down.
"Glabella" the vertical lines that develop between the eyebrows as a result of frowning, scowling, or merely focusing while listening or reading
“ Lip flip” injections to the top lip used to treat “smoker lines” or lines often caused from using a straw
The Studio by Carolina offers the following brands of Neurotoxins:
Dysport
Dysport is FDA-approved to treat the lines on your forehead, or “frown lines”. It is recommended for those with moderate to severe frown lines. Like Botox, it has proteins attached to the toxin, but the toxin itself is a smaller molecule that allows it to diffuse more effectively, and produce results faster. It requires refrigeration and resistance may develop. Results can be seen as soon as two days after treatment and can last up to 2-4 months.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is the newest option to hit the market and is structurally similar to Botox, proteins and all, so it must be refrigerated and may be subject to eventual resistance. It’s FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe frown lines. Typically used on the loose skin around your eyes, or “crows feet” some people have reported that they see results faster than with Botox. While Botox was developed to treat a wide range of medical conditions, like migraines, Jeuveau was developed strictly for cosmetic use.
Xeomin
Xeomin is FDA-approved to treat the lines between the eyebrows. It lacks the proteins present in other injections and therefore does not need to be refrigerated before use, and you are less likely to develop resistance to it. The end result is similar to Botox and typically lasts between two to four months.
Which injection is right for you will depend on your target areas, when you want to see the results, and how long you expect the results to last for. Carolina can help you decide which option is right for you. Call us today to schedule a free consultation.
