What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are special formulations of hyaluronic acid that plump your skin and help fill in fine lines and wrinkles. Your nurse practitioners use them to fill in around your eyes, lips, cheeks, jawline, and mouth.
What else do dermal fillers do?
At Enrich Family Care, in addition to filling in wrinkles, your nurse practitioner uses a variety of dermal fillers to:
- Fill in nasolabial folds
- Fill increases
- Smooth acne scars
- Lift jowls
- Restore volume
- Lift cheeks
- Plump lips
Talk to your provider about your areas of concern so she can pinpoint your treatment.
What is BotoxⓇ?
Botox is a medical derivative of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause paralysis. When used under the supervision of your health care provider and in controlled doses, Botox is useful for relaxing muscles.
For aesthetic purposes, it’s a popular skin care treatment that helps diminish:
- Crow’s feet
- Frown lines
- Smile lines
- Neck creases
- Smoker’s lines
Unlike dermal fillers, Botox does not fill in fine lines and wrinkles but rather relaxes the muscles responsible for them.
What is XeominⓇ?
Touted as an alternative to Botox, Xeomin also works as a neuromodulator. It interrupts the signal between the muscle and nerve and makes the muscles relax. It takes about 5-7 days for the injected Xeomin to take full effect. Results last for about five months.
