Botulinum Toxin Type A Therapeutic
Botulinum Toxin Type A is a purified protein [onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®), incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) or abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®)], which is injected into targeted muscles. Botulinum Toxin Type A is FDA approved and widely used to alleviate TMJ disorder, migraine headaches, and cervical dystonia (neck pain), and other issues. This substance can temporarily block signals that cause muscle tightness and movements. That blockage will relax the muscles in that area, getting rid of the wrinkles and fine lines that are there. The full effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A takes 3-5 days and will remain effective for 3-6 months. It only takes a few minutes to perform the injections, and the untreated facial muscles can contract to allow normal expression.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers help get rid of fine lines, but they also provide volume and fullness to the face and lips that has been lost with age. As well, the loss of teeth often leads to an uneven facial appearance, which can be addressed or improved using this treatment in conjunction with dental care. If you are in middle age or later, you may notice those fine lines and lack of fullness in your own face. This is a normal part of aging. However, you can still keep your youth and vibrance with dermal fillers.
When your skin ages, it starts to lose collagen that is filled with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those two substances are the ones responsible for adding structure and volume to your face. When you lose collagen and HA due to age, the skin will start to sag and wrinkle. That is why dermal fillers are so beneficial. These are smooth, injectable gels made from naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid and they can restore the fullness to your face, making you look more youthful.
