Besides the return of nature’s glory, one of the best things about spring is the anticipation of summer vacations, get-togethers, and reunions. You want to look your best no matter where the new season takes you, and Dr. Jeffrey Schmidt is here to help you realize all your aesthetic dreams with these in-demand non-surgical treatments.
1. Neuromodulators
BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® have earned prominence for their ability to relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. These neuromodulators precisely target specific muscle contractions that create dynamic wrinkles like glabellar lines, crow’s feet, and forehead furrows. By temporarily smoothing and softening these visible signs of aging, they create a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
Even the busiest patients can find time to get neuromodulators injected during a quick, in-office appointment. The effects can last up to six months, and you can maintain them with periodic touch-ups. These convenient factors make BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® a sought-after solution among people seeking facial rejuvenation with minimal risk and downtime.
2. Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a sugar found naturally in the human body. It attracts and retains water, contributing to a plump, smooth, and hydrated complexion. When injected into strategic facial areas, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers add volume and decrease wrinkles in one quick in-office visit.
Hyaluronic acid also stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness from the inside out for an immediately noticeable improvement with no downtime. As a result, fillers like Juvéderm®, Belotero®, and Radiesse® can visibly improve concerns like sunken temples, prominent tear troughs, hollow cheeks, thin lips, nasolabial folds, and sagging skin.
HA fillers come in various smooth gel consistencies, each with specific properties. In general, formulas with larger particle sizes are ideal for restoring volume and refreshing contours, while smaller particle sizes work better for minimizing fine lines. While dermal filler results are not permanent, they are long-lasting—up to two years, in some cases.
3. Chemical Peels
Aging skin is thinner, less resilient, and more prone to issues like wrinkles, sun damage, and discoloration. Chemical peels offer a multifaceted solution to these challenges, noticeably improving skin’s quality, texture, and appearance. Light, moderate, and deep peels can resolve multiple concerns for a healthier complexion.
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles: Exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells stimulates cell turnover and reveals a smoother tone and appearance, with fewer wrinkles and less roughness, dryness, and hyperpigmentation.
- Minimizing pores: Enlarged pores can contribute to an aged appearance. Chemical peels help tighten pores, making your skin look more refined.
- Smoothing acne scarring: Chemical peels can improve acne-prone skin by restoring the oil balance and preventing breakouts. They also diminish the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes.
- Revitalizing: A peel will leave your skin looking bright, refreshed, and glowing—perfect for your summer getaway.
