Fillers
When you seek cosmetic enhancements, you should have options when it comes to the results you desire. For example, you may want to reduce signs of aging in your face, but are hesitant to undergo invasive surgery to look younger.
At Dr. Riham’s, you have several procedures to choose from that can rejuvenate your face, but only some involve invasive techniques. Injectable treatment is just one way to improve your appearance in a minimally invasive manner.
What causes facial aging?
Over time and as you expose your skin to numerous environmental factors, your skin will begin to change. The continuous production of collagen and elastin — the natural growth factors responsible for turning over damaged skin cells — starts to slow down, and the fat lining your face begins to decrease in volume, causing your skin to sag.
As you age, your skin continues to lose elasticity. Your face may also start to show facial folds after years of normal muscle contraction. Although facelift surgery will correct noticeable signs of aging, so too will injectable treatments.
The difference between injectables
Injectable treatments target facial aging in different ways, depending on the imperfections you exhibit. Treatment with BOTOX and Xeomin targets specific muscles in the face that cause creases on the surface of the skin. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are administered below the surface of the skin to reduce wrinkles that occur as a result of volume loss.
You may benefit from both forms of injectable treatment, but a consultation with Dr Riham will confirm the cause of your facial aging and find the right regimen for you. If you have wrinkles that appear whenever you use muscles on your forehead or around your eyes, you may benefit from BOTOX or Xeomin. Otherwise, your nasolabial folds, marionette lines and overall volume loss will respond better to dermal fillers.
