Non-invasive Alternatives to Cosmetic Surgery
Injectable Treatment Buffalo
Many of our patients' needs can be met non-surgically. Others still are hesitant to undergo facial cosmetic surgery and are looking for alternatives. Injectable treatments - offered at the Buffalo practice of the Clinic of Facial Plastic Surgery - is an option in such cases. If you have wrinkles, laugh lines, age lines, or areas that are sunken in, injectable treatments and dermal fillers can provide temporary relief, though often as little as one treatment a year is needed to maintain results. If you are interested in non-surgical alternatives to revitalize your appearance, contact our Buffalo plastic surgery practice today regarding injectable treatment. Our lead practitioner, Dr. David Sherris, would be happy to speak with you.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
One of the most popular injectable treatments on the market, BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved for the treatment of wrinkles, age lines and laugh lines, and even migraine headaches. Manufactured from a botulinum toxin, BOTOX® injections work by temporarily paralyzing the superficial muscles beneath the skin responsible for wrinkles and lines. Completely safe, BOTOX® Cosmetic can smooth the skin and greatly reduce the signs of aging, providing patients with an effective and non-surgical alternative to face lift surgery, brow lift surgery, and other facial procedures.
The BOTOX® Cosmetic injection procedure is simple and quick. Injections are made in trouble areas directly beneath the skin. As the procedure utilizes small needles and the injections are right below the skin, no anesthetic of any kind is required. Depending on the needs and aesthetic goals of the patient, treatment may last anywhere from 5-15 minutes, at which point the patient is able to leave. No recovery time is required and results are visible almost immediately. To maintain results, patients can expect to undergo treatment approximately once every six months.
Dermal Fillers
Unlike BOTOX® injections, which temporarily paralyze the muscles beneath the skin, dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, RADIESSE®, and Sculptra®, actually add volume. Though a range of fillers are available - some of which include elements that promote natural collagen production - all serve the same purpose: to fill in wrinkles, laugh lines, age lines, and sunken or hollow areas of the face. Typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring element in the body that is harmlessly absorbed over time, dermal fillers are administered safely and quickly, require no recovery time, result in immediate improvement, and provide long-term results (sometimes up to 18 months). If you are interested in injectable treatment, we would be happy to discuss your options at our Buffalo practice.
