Botox and Dermal Fillers: A Dynamic Duo

As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.

Whether you have a few wrinkles you’d like to smooth out, or you want to put the brakes on new wrinkles appearing, Botox and dermal fillers may be the optimal solution. Botox and dermal fillers are popular aesthetic treatments helping to restore the beautiful, youthful vibrancy of your face, smile and overall facial features.

Botox, or botulinum toxin, helps stop the formation of wrinkles around the mouth and eyes by interrupting the nerve transmitters that force the muscles to contract. There is no loss of feeling in your facial muscles, but the restricted movement will help ease the crinkling of the skin and the resulting wrinkles. By contrast, dermal fillers add volume to facial areas where wrinkles have already formed. The filler is gently injected underneath the skin to plump up the area and make wrinkles significantly less noticeable.

You may be a good candidate for Botox and dermal fillers if you:

  • Are physically healthy
  • Don't smoke
  • Have a positive outlook and realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
  • Are committed to maintaining good skin health

For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the best approach. Minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments, such as Botox and soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that Botox and dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging and that ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results.

Cryo T-Shock Benefits

CryoT-Shock has a lot of questions surrounding it. Cryo-T shock is a revolutionary fat loss treatment. We hear clients asking the same few things a lot, "How does it work? Is it safe? How long do the results last? Is it painful?" Dr. Matt McDaniel and the team at Fairlawn Aesthetics performs the fat loss treatment in the Akron Canton area and want to make sure you have all the answers about your Cryo T-Shock fat loss treatment. Cryo T-Shock uses a cooling and heating system to contour your body. Your treatment will begin with a few minutes of heat before switching to a prolonged cooling period, and then finishes with a few more minutes of heat. The cool temperatures cause fat cells to go through something called apoptosis. Apoptosis is caused when fat tissue reaches an internal temperature range between 53 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature has reached this low, the fat cells begin to die and are then naturally passed out of the body. While res...

The Truth About Botox

Is Botox really bad for you? You've heard all the negative talk about Botox: "Botox is toxic for your skin." "It's so unnatural." "Don't screw up your face." "You don't need that filler." But, have you heard the truth in all the noise? There are many misconceptions about Botox treatment, and it often gets a bad rep because it is regarded as unsafe, unnatural, and unnecessary. Keep reading on as we expose each of these three myths. #1: Botox is Unsafe The idea that Botox is unsafe is centered around its main ingredient: botulinum. In high percentages, botulinum is considered a toxin and can be deadly. In controlled dosages, it can safely and effectively produce the muscle paralysis effects that Botox is known for. However, if you are considering Botox injections, it is very important to visit an experienced professional so that the dosage is spread evenly and is injected into the correct muscle. #2: Botox is Unnatural...
