Xeomin® vs Botox®: Which Lasts Longer?

Xeomin® vs. Botox® are neurotoxins that work to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Though they work in similar ways, the two treatments have their differences, and your Laser Skin Care Center provider will help you decide which is best for you. What are Neuromodulators? As we age, our skin naturally develops wrinkles and fine lines due to decreased collagen production and all of the facial muscle contractions that have occurred over time. Neuromodulators like Xeomin® and Botox® minimize the appearance of these signs of aging by relaxing the muscles that can cause wrinkles in areas such as the forehead and around the eyes. View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary How Do Xeomin® and Botox® Work? The active ingredient in both Botox® and Xeomin® is the neurotoxin botulinum. When injected underneath the skin, botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signals that are responsible for causing your muscles to contract. Without these signals, your muscles relax, reducing tension on the skin and allowing [...]

What are Dermal Fillers Made Of?

Our skin begins to lose elasticity as we age, leaving us with creases, fine lines, and wrinkles. These aging marks can cause us to look sad, tired, or angry. Fortunately, dermal fillers offer long-lasting benefits to keep us looking young and refreshed. What are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers are facial cosmetic treatments injected underneath the skin to add volume. They are minimally invasive, non-surgical applications that do not require downtime. These gel-like face fillers plump the skin and diminish the signs of aging on the face. Additionally, dermal fillers add volume to your face while keeping it hydrated, giving you a smoother, youthful appearance.  What Do Dermal Fillers Contain? There are various types of dermal fillers, each containing a variety of natural or synthetic substances that the body absorbs over time. Additionally, some face fillers have a local anesthetic called lidocaine, which reduces pain injection. Here are the dermal fillers that Laser Skin Care Center offers and the materials they contain: Juvederm®  Juvederm® is a popular line of hyaluronic acid injections that [...]

How Long Does Dysport® Last?

Dysport® is a popular treatment for deep, dynamic wrinkles, especially the ones in between the eyebrows. However, many people ask, how long does Dysport® last?  What is Dysport®?  Repetitive facial expressions are a part of our daily lives but can cause moderate to severe wrinkles over time. Dysport® is an injectable treatment that limits the face’s muscular movements.  Similar to Botox® and Xeomin®, Dysport® uses a neurotoxin to prohibit the communication of the nerves in the muscles of the face. The muscles and the nerves in the face work with each other to allow you to make facial expressions that cause tension and creases within the skin. When Dysport® silences the muscles, the communication stops and relaxes them, which helps to smooth over the appearance of deeper wrinkles.  Dysport® does not cause permanent injury to the muscles or nerves, and its effects wear off over time.  *Individual results may vary What to Expect From Treatment With Dysport®?  Each Dysport® treatment takes around 15 minutes to complete. Sometimes a topical numbing [...]

What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?

Age and loss of collagen can cause areas of the face to lose volume, while skin laxity reveals lines and wrinkles. You can rejuvenate or enhance your facial features with dermal fillers. These versatile products treat everything from deep lines and wrinkles to enhanced lip fullness.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary What are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers use materials readily accepted by the body to add volume to areas of the face. These materials can last six months to two years, depending on the type of filler and the location. Areas like the lips move more and require a thinner filler more easily absorbed by the body, while filler in the cheeks uses a denser, sturdier formula that does not move as much and can last longer.  What Can Dermal Fillers Treat? The wide variety of available dermal fillers means your provider can choose the right one to meet your needs. Dermal fillers can treat concerns such as: Deep lines and wrinkles Loss of volume and [...]

How Much are Dermal Fillers and Botox® Together?

Two of the most popular ways to reduce facial lines and wrinkles are dermal fillers and Botox®. While both do an excellent job when used alone, combining the two produces even better results for a comprehensive anti-aging treatment.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary Why Have Dermal Fillers and Botox® Together? Dermal fillers and Botox® both reduce lines and wrinkles, but they work on different types of lines and wrinkles. Botox® works on the active facial muscles that pull on the skin and cause it to wrinkle. Dermal fillers lift wrinkles from beneath by adding volume. Combining the two allows you to reduce both types of wrinkles for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.  How Much are Dermal Fillers and Botox® Together? The cost of both products varies from place to place. Different providers will also have their own pricing. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost per syringe of most popular dermal fillers is $650.  You may need more than one syringe. Botox® is [...]

How to Reduce Puffy Eyes

Men and women experience age-related bags and puffiness under the eyes due to shifting fat in and around the eye region. This can cause us to appear older, more tired, or sick. Additionally, we lose fat in the cheeks as we age, and the area where the cheek meets under the eye becomes more spread out and many people see a separation between the undereye fat and the cheek fat, causing bags, puffiness, or hollowness. If you want to look as good as you feel, Restylane can help reduce puffiness and bags around the eyes. A symptom of age, lack of sleep, stress, or other environmental factors or lifestyle habits, bagginess around the eyes is treatable. Restylane is a natural dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid that enhances volume under the eyes, reducing bags and helping you appear fresher, more alert, and younger. When injected under the eye and at the top of the cheek, it smooths out the transition between these two areas and gives your face more volume, essentially erasing puffiness and bags. Those [...]

Which Juvederm Injection is Right for Me?

Dermal fillers are a great way to plump and volumize the skin, reverse signs of aging, and give the cheeks, lips, or crows feet a rejuvenated appearance. Most facial fillers are made with Hyaluronic acid injectable gel, a substance your body naturally makes. There are many different types of dermal fillers. Juvederm is the number one selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the US. Each product in the Juvederm family of fillers adds volume to a different area of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, or plump the lips. So, which injection is right for you? That depends on what area of the face you wish to treat. Cheeks As we age, our cheeks can lose their volume and begin to sag. Juvederm Voluma XC adds volume to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks to help create a more youthful appearance. It is the only filler proven to last up to 2 years in the cheek area. Lips Whether you have naturally thin lips, have lost volume in the lips [...]

How Can I Safely Enhance My Lips?

Just as some of us are born with great legs, teeth, or arms, some of us are born with great lips. Others lament the size and shape of their lips – and unfortunately there are no exercises or braces to help change them! Additionally, as we age, our lips tend to thin, lose shape, and show signs of aging. Fortunately, there are several safe and effective injectables that can enhance and improve the size and shape of your lips. Restylane Silk FDA-approved for lip augmentation and smoothing of wrinkles around the mouth, Restylane Silk provides natural looking results for lip enhancement and wrinkle repair.

How Long Do Hand Rejuvenation Procedures Last?

When it comes to keeping yourself looking younger and more refreshed, you probably focus on treating your face and neck.  After all, these areas are all highly targeted by the beauty industry, with loads of anti-wrinkle face and neck creams filling up the shelves at your favorite beauty department. But have you ever stopped to think that your hands are giving away your real age? Think about it this way: your hands are covered in the same delicate and thin skin tissue as your face and neck.  They also partake in plenty of repetitive actions, depending on your occupation.  Add to the fact that your hands lose valuable volume over time, and it’s no wonder the hands are often dead giveaways for a person’s real age. Don’t let your hands reveal your secrets.  Hand rejuvenation at the Laser Skin Care Center in Long Beach, CA can help make your hands look as young and vibrant as you feel! So how does hand rejuvenation work?  Simple: by using the same fillers that are injected into the face to add temporary, youth-enhancing [...]

Best Cosmetic Procedure to Get Done Before a Wedding?

To say you’re thrilled for your upcoming nuptials would be a significant understatement. You can’t wait for that moment where you’re walking down the aisle toward your loved one, ready to start a brand-new life together. All eyes will be on you… And that’s why you want to look your absolute best for your big day! But before you start making appointments for cosmetic procedures, keep this in mind – many procedures should be timed in such a way where you still won’t be recovering from your treatment. For example, many laser resurfacing treatments require a couple of weeks’ recovery for side effects to dissipate. Even dermal fillers and Botox can lead to side effects like bruising, swelling, and slight bleeding. In other words, if you leave these cosmetic treatments until the last minute, there’s a good chance your wedding photographs will have evidence of your cosmetic work! The best cosmetic procedure to get done before a wedding is a superficial treatment, like a facial or mild dermabrasion. These can safely be performed a few weeks before [...]

Discover the Best Wrinkle Treatments at Laser Skin Center!

Have you been noticing more wrinkles and fine lines appearing on your skin? Unfortunately, wrinkles are an expected side effect of the aging process. Thanks to a combination of repeated facial movements, loss of collagen, and the breakdown of youth-enhancing facial fat pads, the face is prone to developing these telltale wrinkles and fine lines. While skin creams and lotions claim to erase wrinkles (and can, in fact, provide temporary relief), the truth is that the best wrinkle treatments go more than skin deep. Want to see just what those wrinkle treatments are? Take a look at the menu of anti-aging wrinkle procedures now available at Laser Skin Center in Long Beach, CA: Botox: When it comes to wrinkles, it doesn’t get more effective than Botox. This injectable contains safe neurotoxins which block forehead muscles from receiving nerve signals from the brain. As a result, muscles are paralyzed and skin becomes relaxed.
