What Are Botox & Juvederm
Many of us have facial wrinkles that we are unhappy with. The good news is there are wonderful treatment options, including Botox and Juvederm. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause facial wrinkles. Juvederm is an HA filler that fills in wrinkles that are not caused by muscles. Plus, you have the comfort of knowing that you are being treated by an expert in facialanatomy.
Dr. Whenry uses Juvederm to augment small or wrinkled lips. The product lasts about one year, and has a smooth, natural appearance. You never have to worry about getting an unnatural result. Keep in mind that Dr. Whenry can give you dental blocks to make your treatment more comfortable. Look for more pictures in the Photo Gallery.
Botox
Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, forehead and crow's feet. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Take a look at men and women who've had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
Juvederm
JUVÉDERM® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration.
Your health care professional eases JUVÉDERM® injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
JUVÉDERM® provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of JUVÉDERM® compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.†
* Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both JUVÉDERM® injectable gel and another dermal filler† preferred JUVÉDERM®!
* JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
