Three Injectables to Smooth Away Moderate Facial Wrinkles

During our younger years, collagen and elastin production is plentiful, which keeps the complexion smooth and supple. With every passing year, our bodies slow the manufacturing process of these proteins, causing the skin to thin and wrinkle. At Beautiful Skin Denver, we work with individuals throughout Denver, CO and the surrounding areas who wish to reclaim their youthful skin through nonsurgical means, including wrinkles relaxers and dermal fillers.

What are facial injectables?

Facial injectables are nonsurgical cosmetic treatments that can be administered through the skin via a small, sterilized needle. Injectables are placed at designated treatment sites based on the client’s personal goals and our experienced professional’s recommendations. At Beautiful Skin Denver, we offer a wide array of injectable products, including wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers.

What are wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are cosmetic injectables primarily made from neurotoxins that are injected directly into muscle tissue. The purpose of the neurotoxin is to temporarily slow down or halt a muscle contraction so that the overlying tissue can smooth over, rest, and heal. A well-known wrinkle relaxer called BOTOX? is often injected into facial muscles responsible for creating facial expressions and dynamic wrinkles: smile lines, frown lines, marionette lines, and Crow’s feet. Over time, dynamic wrinkles fade to create a smoother appearance.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables composed of hyaluronic acid, a chemical compound that draws and retains moisture in the skin. The selected dermal filler product is superficially injected into the skin to add volume and smooth facial wrinkles. While both wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers offer paths to smoother skin, dermal fillers can add volume to areas of the face that have hollowed or sunken with age. Consult with us about which injectable would best fit your cosmetic needs or if you could benefit from having both treatments performed consecutively.

At Beautiful Skin Denver, we provide our clients with highly tailored experiences by offering numerous cosmetic products to choose from. Currently, we have the following wrinkle relaxers available at our outpatient office:

• Dysport

For dermal fillers, we offer several types of JUVÉDERM®; RESTYLANE® and SCUPLTRA®.

Each cosmetic injectable is designed to treat specific wrinkles and areas of the face. A member of our team will review your medical history and assess the current condition of your skin to help you select the ideal facial injectable.

Am I an ideal candidate for facial injectables?

Individuals may be viable candidates for facial injectables if they:

• Are in good general health
• Have realistic cosmetic expectations
• Have moderate to severe facial wrinkles
• Are looking for nonsurgical cosmetic solutions for smoother skin

Some individuals who are pregnant, have specific medical conditions, or have allergies to neurotoxins and other injectable chemical compounds may not qualify for treatment or may be better suited for alternative cosmetic treatment methods.

What the treatment process is like

Clients attend scheduled appointments at Beautiful Skin Denver, where they will receive their facial injectables within the comforts of one of our private treatment rooms. We will sanitize each injection site and administer the selected injectable, which should only take 10 – 15 minutes. Once your treatment is complete, you may return home and resume normal daily living activities.

Is there any downtime after receiving my facial injectable?

Facial injectables do not require any recovery period. Some clients may feel a little bruising or tenderness at each injection site, which should resolve within a few days. We will send each client home with recommendations to optimize results for the first 24 hours, some of which may include:

• Avoiding sleeping face down
• Avoiding drinking alcohol
• Avoiding facial massages and makeup application

How long do results last?

Depending on the facial injectable you receive, cosmetic results may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. To maintain your desired outcomes, consult with a member of our team about what to expect for scheduling future appointments.
