Cosmetic Injections in NYC: Your Lunchtime Makeover

Ava Lawson | February 27, 2013 | Posted in Skin Care

For anyone considering facial rejuvenation, a lunchtime makeover is all the rage, with popular cosmetic injections in NYC such as Botox and Juvederm. Advances in New York City skin care treatments equal fantastic results with less downtime for the patient. When choosing which procedure is right for you, it’s not always an either/or decision. Botox and Juvederm address different concerns and are frequently used together for optimum results. 

Advantages of Botox NYC

Factors like collagen depletion, sun exposure, and free radical damage take a toll on our skin as we age, causing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Many women complain of their “11s” – those vertical lines between the brows that often make us look angry and unapproachable. A consequence of repeated muscle contractions, these deep furrows – often known as frown lines – can persist even when our muscles are at rest. With a few quick injections of Botox, those lines disappear as if by magic, leaving patients with a wrinkle-free brow and a more rested appearance. 

Botox has a great safety profile and has been used on nearly 12 million patients since it was first approved as a cosmetic injection in 2002. How does it work? Botox functions by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, which stops them from contracting. With the skill of an experienced plastic surgeon who doesn’t over-inject, patients can expect a significant improvement in the moderate-to-severe frown lines between their brows within days of the treatment. And the best part is that visible results usually last anywhere from four to six months. Botox NYC is recommended for addressing crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines, and deep wrinkles on the forehead. 

Juvederm dermal filler

Botox has taken care of your frown lines but what about lost facial volume? Cosmetic injections in NYC include dermal fillers like Juvederm – a safe and effective way to restore lost fullness while smoothing away any wrinkles and folds. Young skin has an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance known as hyaluronic acid (HA), which forms the base of Juvederm. As any good cosmetic surgeon knows, one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to treating wrinkles. That’s why your surgeon will choose the right amount and location to treat your problem areas – whether they include nasiolabal folds, deep tear troughs or your lips. 

Juvederm is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is FDA-approved to last up to one year. And since the new Juvederm XC injectable gel is formulated with lidocaine, the treatment is virtually painless. Similar to Botox, Juvederm carries few risks, all of which will be thoroughly explained prior to the procedure. Potential side effects may include temporary redness at the injection site, bruising and mild swelling. Patients are typically thrilled with their results and love the softer, more youthful appearance.
