The Benefits of Botox and Fillers

Botox and fillers provide these benefits to patients:

  • Quick, non-surgical treatment
  • Minimal downtime
  • Custom treatment plans
  • Lasting results

Unlike plastic surgery, Botox and fillers are non-invasive treatments for patients who want younger-looking skin. These treatments are also preventive anti-aging options for our patients

What is Botox?

Botox® is a neuromuscular inhibitor that prevents muscle movement. It relaxes the muscles in your face to erase the lines and creases. Botox treats wrinkles in the upper third of the face and provides treatments for many cosmetic issues, including:

  • Diminish crow’s feet
  • Lift the brows
  • Smooth forehead lines

Botox treats dynamic wrinkles, or wrinkles that form from facial movements. We can also use Botox to treat TMJ disorders.

Before treatment, you will consult with Dr. Cha to discuss your aesthetic goals. He will also review your medical and prescription histories to ensure you qualify for this treatment.

During the Botox procedure, you can expect these steps:

  • Cleanse your face
  • Numb and mark the injection areas
  • Use a thin needle to quickly inject a small amount of Botox beneath your skin
  • Cleanse your skin

Botox treatment usually takes less than 15 minutes. Most people see results in three to five days, though some take up to two weeks. The effects last three to six months. You can repeat the treatment as necessary.

What is a Dermal Filler?

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to smooth wrinkles and lines and add volume to your skin. Dr. Cha offers dermal fillers to rejuvenate and refresh your face. A dermal filler is an injectable gel-like solution that softens facial lines and creases. Two common types of fillers are Hyaluronic acid and Poly-L-lactic acid fillers.

Hyaluronic acid is a water-retaining substance already present in our skin. Polylactic acid is a biodegradable synthetic substance commonly used for medical purposes. Some dermal fillers contain a mild anesthetic to increase comfort during treatment.

Dr. Cha offers facial rejuvenation with these dermal fillers:

  • Juvederm
  • Perlane
  • Restylane
  • Sculptra

Juvaderm, Perlane, and Restylane are hyaluronic-acid-based fillers. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid. Dr. Cha uses dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation to:

  • Erase crow’s feet around your eyes
  • Fill acne scars
  • Increase fullness in your lips
  • Reduce vertical lip lines
  • Restore volume under your eyes or in your cheeks
  • Add definition to your chin
  • Smooth lines around your nose and mouth
  • Soften frown lines on your forehead or wrinkles between your eyebrows

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Before treatment begins, you will consult with Dr. Cha to discuss your aesthetic goals. He will review your medical and prescription histories, explain your treatment options, and discuss expected results.

During the 20-minute treatment, Dr. Cha will complete these steps:

  • Cleanse your skin and numb the injection areas
  • Mark the injection sites
  • Perform quick, tiny injections with precise amounts of dermal filler into the treatment areas
  • Cleanse your skin

You should notice the results immediately. Occasionally, people experience mild bruising, redness, or itching. The results from dermal fillers last six to 24 months, depending on the product used, the target areas, and each patient. You can repeat treatment to maintain results.

Botox and Fillers: Aftercare

After treatment, follow these tips for quick and comfortable healing: 

  • Avoid putting pressure on your face. Directly after you receive Botox or fillers, you want to avoid putting any pressure on your face. When lying down, avoid pressing your cheek on the pillow. 
  • Use a cold compress. After Botox and filler treatments, side effects, including swelling or redness, are normal. We recommend applying a cold compress (ice pack) for fifteen minutes at a time. 
  • Avoid exercise for 24 hours. Strenuous activities like exercise 
  • Stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water after fillers or Botox treatment keeps your skin hydrated.
