Benefits of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC

While there is an array of non-surgical cosmetic treatments available in medical spas today, dermal fillers continue to be one of the most popular options.  Dermal fillers have long been used to replace volume int he face to give a more youthful appearance.  Popular dermal fillers include Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Belotero and the number 1 used dermal filler JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus.  However, there is finally a new dermal filler to add to the mix; JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC which is the first of it's kind and our clients at Winter Park Laser in Orlando are loving.  So with a the choices of dermal fillers it can be difficult to understand which one to choose.  JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC will give a gorgeous instant "liquid face-lift" and rejuvenation to the face of any man or woman.
Let's review the benefits of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC. Just like the original JUVÉDERM® Ultra & Ultra Plus products, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is made of hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance found in the skin. However, what makes it different from other HA dermal fillers on the market is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is the first and only FDA-approved for adding volume to the cheeks and mid-facial region. Additional benefits of the treatment include:

• Its ability to reduce or eliminate moderate to severe lines and wrinkles
• The results are instant and continue to improve for 2-4 weeks after injection
• It's nearly painless due to the lidocaine mixed in for numbing combined with topical numbing options
• It's results have been clinically proven to last 24 months on average
• There is very little downtime or side effects with injections other than possible mild bruising or swelling

Essentially, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC results that give a "liquid-facelift" appearance to the face and make women and men look younger instantly combined with the fact that it last longer than almost any other dermal filler makes it extremely appealing.

Why Your Eyes Tell Your Age

Why Your Eyes Tell Your Age? Well, for starters is tends to be the first thing people see when they look at you. Secondly it is the first area on your face to show age because you have a lot of movement there, and the skin around the eyes is 30% thinner so it dehydrates quicker & wrinkles easier than the rest of your face. Unfortunately signs of aging around your eyes worsen every year as the skin stretches and wrinkles around the eye even with proper care and sufficient sleep. The fat around the eyes prolapses forward, leading to under-eye bags; and in the upper lids, it leads to sad or sleepy eyes. Excessive exposure to the sun, alcohol, smoking, poor nutrition, and not using sunscreen can accelerate these signs of aging. So here are the ways to make your eyes look younger: Cure #1: Dermal Filler Belotero Balance-the dermal filler of choice to fill in tear troughs (the shallow area under the eyes) & eliminate dark circles. Belotero works by replacing lost volume to the contours of the trough, thereby eliminating the shadow that’s creating the darkness in the first place. Typically this only takes one syringe of Belotero and is painless as the area can be topically numbed & lidocaine is added to the syringe. This will instantly make you look years younger & brighten up your eyes. The results last approximately 1 year. Cure #2: Latisse: I know it sounds funny, but as your age your lashes shed and get thinner, so less lashes make the eyes look older. Latisse is an amazing Allergan product that makes lashes thicker, longer & darker in 8-16 weeks, instantly making the eyes look younger, brighter & fresher. Cure #3: Laser Eye-Lift: Laser Skin Resurfacing can be extremely effective in 1 treatment with combo-ablative laser resurfacing. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines.

What Dermal Fillers is Right for You?

belotero under eyes A lot of people are looking for new non-invasive ways to look younger and get more volume. Dermal fillers allow for a natural "face-lift" like result without surgery. But what are dermal fillers & what are the differences between the various dermal fillers. I'm often asked in our Medical Spa Winter Park Laser in Orlando which dermal filler is the best? The answer is that there is a correct dermal filler for every person and need and not all sizes fit everyone. What is a dermal filler? A dermal filler is a product that is injected or placed into the dermis. In the United States these are the FDA approved Dermal Fillers on the market: Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Sculptra, Radiesse, Belotero Balance, and now there is Juvederm Voluma which will be available in January. Here are the top 3 Dermal Fillers in our opinion and the best uses and candidates for each. BELOTERO BALANCE®-We think it's best used to fill the tear troughs which corrects hollow sunken eyes and dark circles (a common complaint amongst women). It's also great to fill in deflated lips. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction. JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA XC & JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA PLUS XC: We love Juvederm Ultra Plus for sunken in cheeks and deep smile lines or "bull dog" lines around the mouth. Juvederm Ultra is great to plump up lips with no volume or erase "smoker" lines around the mouth. JUVÉDERM™ Ultra injectable gel is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin byholding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent RADIESSE® DERMAL FILLER is best for deep volume loss in the cheek area and deep folds around the nose and mouth. It is great for those who have aged and lost weight to fill back in naturally lost volume for a "facelift" result. RADIESSE Volumizing Filler adds the volume and lift needed to diminish the signs of aging. What makes RADIESSE truly unique is the ability of the product to act as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. The production of natural collagen continues for several months, which extends beyond the initial effect of RADIESSE Volumizing Filler.

How to Get a "Face-Lift" Result without Surgery

I operate a Medical Spa so obviously I get clients coming to me all the time with a desire to have a "face-lift" result without surgery. Fortunately, there are options to get this result with laser treatments & injectables. Ultimately, the desire is to have tighter skin, less wrinkles, a smoother textures, and less sagging skin & jowles. Here are the best non-surgical treatments to get a "facelift result" without surgery. The best way to get an actual "lifting effect" if you are bothered by sagging jowles is a "liquid face-lift" using dermal fillers such as juvederm, radiesse, and Belotero. A “liquid face-lift” using cosmetic dermal fillers such as Juvederm (a hyaluronic acid product) can be performed on several areas of the face or focus on “trouble spots” such as the deep naso-labial folds (laugh lines) around the nose and mouth. This treatment replaces volume lost giving one high cheeks again, improving the hollowness under eyes, lifting brows, lifting jowls and plumping lips, giving back the youthful look of full cheeks, lips, and less wrinkles. Once corrected this procedure can make women and men look 10-15 years younger instantly in 20-45 minutes. The next way to get a "non-surgical face-lift" effect is with Combo ablative fractional laser skin resurfacing. This treatment is perfect for those with fine lines, wrinkles, large pores or skin that is in need more tightening but don’t want the downtime of surgery or older CO2 and dot lasers that took 2-5 weeks of downtime. The Palomar fractional laser resurfacing only requires 4-7 days of healing and the holes close in 6 hours (on most lasers the holes close in 96 hours) which offers less risk of infection. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines around the face, especially the eyes and mouth which are most prevalent in clients without the discomfort compared to full surface CO2 resurfacing treatments. It’s a great alternative to a face-lift giving you tightening & texture improvement without surgery. For more information on non-surgical facelift results go to www.winterparklaser.com
