Skin Conditions Treated with Botox and Fillers
Botox and fillers are cosmetic treatments that doctors have used for years to help smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face. Botox & fillers Santa Monica are cosmetic procedures that can help you achieve your desired look. Both injectable treatments are safe and effective for most patients.
Botox and fillers are injected into the muscles to paralyze them temporarily. After the injection, the paralyzed muscles relax, giving your face a more youthful appearance and helping remove signs of aging. Botox and fillers can be a great way to treat a variety of different skin conditions:
Acne scars
Acne scars are caused by lesions that remain after the acne has healed. The scars can be deep and dark, or they may be raised and uneven. Botox is injected into the area around the scar, which causes the scar tissue to soften and flatten out. If you have an active acne problem, this treatment will help smooth out your skin to make it look smooth and even. Fillers may also be used in this area to help create a more natural result.
Crow’s feet
Crow’s feet are caused by underlying muscles that tighten as you age. They can form due to excessive frowning or smiling, which causes muscles in your forehead to contract and pull your eyes downward.
Botox and fillers can be used to help soften these frown lines, making them less noticeable. Using these treatments on patients with excessive eye drooping is also helpful since it forces more light to enter the eye, reducing dark circles around the eyes and helping brighten eyesight overall.
Deep lines
Botox & fillers can help smooth deep wrinkles around your eyes, between your brows, and around your mouth. These lines may be caused by aging or prolonged frowning that has caused muscle contraction in these areas. The lines become more visible as you age because your muscles relax over time which causes them to deepen more quickly than they did when you were younger and smile more often.
Forehead wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles can occur due to the aging process. The forehead wrinkles are usually associated with loss of volume, and frown lines often appear around the eyes. That can result in an overall loss of facial volume. Botox and fillers can smoothen the crease between your eyes and nose, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in this area.
Rosacea
Rosacea causes redness on the cheeks, nose, and forehead. The condition can cause blushing, styes (pinpoint pimples), dry skin, and burning eyes. Specialists can treat Rosacea with topical cream or lotion to moisturize affected areas or with oral medications such as tetracycline (doxycycline) or azelaic acid that are applied topically as tablets or creams. These treatments will help remove excess oil from your skin so that it appears less red when exposed to sunlight or other harsh conditions like windy weather.
Botox and filler treatments can help you look younger and more refreshed. They also help you avoid surgery for many conditions that require plastic surgery or invasive procedures such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels.
