Spring into Confidence with Injectables in Jacksonville Beach
As we enter the joyous spring season, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate and refresh your look. Our practice offers a variety of injectable treatments, including Botox and Juvรฉderm, that are guaranteed to give you a vibrant, youthful appearance. Read on to learn more about your injectable treatment options and how they can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Injectable Options for Nonsurgical Improvement
Injectable treatments have become increasingly popular over the years, and an array of new products have hit the market as well. Injectables can consist of different products with different formulations, but they are all injected into the skin. If you are bothered by facial volume loss, lines and folds, or excess fat under the chin, we have an injectable treatment for you!
Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins are popular cosmetic treatments that help individuals fight wrinkles and refresh their appearance. These treatments work by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. The most commonly used neurotoxins used at our practice include Botox and Daxxify.
Botoxยฎ
Botox is the most popular neurotoxin to date. This product contains botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signals to the muscles at the injection site. This temporarily smooths unwanted lines for a more youthful appearance.
During treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort. Next, your injector will place Botox into the predetermined treatment areas using a fine needle. There is no downtime required, so you can return to your regular activities. Results typically last for 3-4 months.
Daxxifyยฎ
Daxxify is similar to Botox in that it contains botulinum toxin type A to relax facial muscles, smoothing lines temporarily. This product is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines, or glabellar lines, between the brows.
Daxxify treatment is very similar to that of Botox. To begin, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied. A fine needle will be used to skillfully inject the Daxxify into the frown lines between your brows. Results can last from 6-9 months.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to address lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contour. The majority of dermal fillers on the market are formulated with hyaluronic acid, though some formulations may differ. Dr. Basile offers the following dermal filler options.
Beloteroยฎ
Belotero is a hyaluronic-acid-based dermal filler that adds volume to the skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. The unique formulation of Belotero creates a soft and cohesive gel that instantly fills the skin to smooth moderate to severe lines such as nasolabial folds and chin wrinkles. It can also be used to treat various concerns on the face, neck, hands, and decolletage. Ideal candidates are 21 years and older.
Juvรฉdermยฎ
Juvรฉderm offers a line of hyaluronic-acid filler products to address specific concerns in different areas of the face. At our office, we offer Juvรฉderm Ultra XC, Juvรฉderm Voluma XC, and Juvรฉderm Volbella XC. ย Juvรฉderm Ultra XC is ideal for treating lines and wrinkles around the mouth and volume loss in various areas of the face, while Juvรฉderm Voluma XC is created to specifically lift and contour the cheeks and chin. Juvรฉderm Volbella XC is formulated to add natural volume to the lips and address lines around the mouth. The best way to determine which Juvรฉderm filler is right for you is to speak with Dr. Basile during a consultation appointment, during which a personalized treatment plan will be created for you.
Restylaneยฎ
Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that restore lost volume in the face and/or lips. Various Restylane formulations are designed to address different treatment areas. The Restylane filler that is right for you will depend on your anatomy and individual goals.
During a Restylane treatment, your injector will determine one or more injection sites in the treatment area and cleanse the skin. A topical anesthetic will then be applied to ensure that you are comfortable during this process. Next, a small needle will be used to inject the Restylane skillfully into the skin. This treatment can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the number of treatment areas and the size of the treatment area. Depending on the Restylane formulation, results can last from 6-18 months.
Radiesseยฎ
Radiesse is a different type of filler, as it is not hyaluronic acid-based. Instead, it contains calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a compound meant to boost the production of collagen in the skin. It is ideal for addressing deep lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It can also be used to add volume to the backs of the hands to give them a more youthful appearance. Immediate improvement can be noticed directly following treatment, while full results can take 7-10 days to appear, and results can last up to 2 years as your body continues to make collagen.
RHAยฎ
The RHA line of hyaluronic acid fillers differs from other hyaluronic acid formulas in that it is FDA-approved for treating dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles develop over time due to repetitive facial expressions such as frowning or laughing. RHA can treat expression lines around the mouth, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin lines. One thing that sets the RHA collection of fillers apart is their design. They are formulated to be resilient enough to adapt to natural facial movements while still achieving a look that is beautiful at rest. ย Results from RHA treatment will be immediately noticeable, and results can last up to 15 months.
Additional Injectables
Dr. Basile also offers an additional injectable treatment known as Kybella to combat stubborn fat pockets under the chin. This cutting-edge injectable treatment actually eliminates fat under the chin for good, for a slimmer facial profile and a boost in confidence.
Kybellaยฎ
Kybella is a cutting-edge solution to submental fat, also known as a double chin. Many people who exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet still live with stubborn fat under the chin. Kybella is created with deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells for long-term results!
During Kybella treatment, you will receive multiple Kybella injections in the treatment area under the chin. The exact number of injections required will depend on the amount of submental fat present and your desired results. Many patients require a series of 2-4 treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. Once the fat cells under the chin are destroyed, they will not return, and no further treatment should be needed.
