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 Juvéderm, 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.
Botox®
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.
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.
Juvéderm®
Juvéderm offers a line of hyaluronic-acid filler products to address specific concerns in different areas of the face. At our office, we offer Juvéderm Ultra XC, Juvéderm Voluma XC, and Juvéderm Volbella XC. Juvéderm Ultra XC is ideal for treating lines and wrinkles around the mouth and volume loss in various areas of the face, while Juvéderm Voluma XC is created to specifically lift and contour the cheeks and chin. Juvéderm Volbella XC is formulated to add natural volume to the lips and address lines around the mouth. The best way to determine which Juvéderm 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.
RHA®
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. 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.
Kybella®
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.
