Love to LAUGH? Hate the LINES? Here at My Dentist we give you DOUBLE the reason to SMILE.
We are taking Cosmetic Dentistry into the next century. Our office is now offering the following procedures.
BOTOX
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name BOTOX®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that BOTOX is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
RADIESSE
RADIESSE dermal filler is setting a new standard for cosmetic fillers. It uses advanced, calcium-based microsphere
technology to deliver soft, natural-looking results you can see immediately. And unlike other dermal fillers, it
also stimulates your body to produce new collagen, so you’ll continue to look more youthful and attractive over time.
In fact, for many patients, the benefits of treatment with RADIESSE dermal filler may last up to a year or more.
JUVEDERM
Juvederm is a long-lasting gel that, once injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle, lifts and adds volume
to the areas being treated. Similar to one of the bodys own natural substances (hyaluronic acid), it is a completely
safe treatment.
The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm simply supplements the bodys age-depleted hyaluronic acid to plump-up the lip or to
raise the skin and fill in the particular wrinkle being treated and has three major benefits.
PERLANE
Perlane® is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that Perlane® contains no
animal products. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no
need for a skin test when using Perlane® filler.
The hyaluronic acid in Perlane® supplements the body's natural supply, which becomes depleted with age.
Perlane® is biodegradable so its effects are not permanent. The results of a Perlane® filler treatment tend to
last six months to a year. This is much longer than the typical results of collagen injections, which may only
last three to six months.
Unlike BOTOX® Cosmetic, Perlane® does not make you numb. Perlane® can be used in conjunction with BOTOX® Cosmetic,
which neutralizes the muscles that create wrinkles, but Perlane® simply reduces the visibility of wrinkles and folds.
RESTYLANE
Restylane ® is a clear, non-animal-based, biodegradable gel that is composed of hyaluronic acid, which occurs
naturally in the body. Originally developed in Sweden, Restylane® filler injections are now marketed in the
United States by Medicis, a leading pharmaceutical company that offers a wide range of other skin treatments.
Restylane® is created from tissue cultivated in a laboratory and is an excellent alternative to other fillers
such as collagen and Hylaform®, which are both derived from animal products.
EVOLENCE
EVOLENCE® dermal filler represents a breakthrough in treating the effects of aging by replacing the collagen
you've lost with collagen that lasts. A truly novel dermal filler, EVOLENCE® can immediately improve and refresh
your appearance by smoothing out and softening the appearance of unwanted facial wrinkles and folds, and restoring
structure and facial contour in volume-depleted areas. The visible, natural-looking results are achieved
immediately, with minimal-to-no downtime, so you can get right back to your daily activities. EVOLENCE® is the
first and only collagen dermal filler to provide immediate results that last through 12 months, so you avoid the
costly repeat treatments often associated with other fillers.
DYSPORT
A single injection of Dysport affects a wider muscle area of the face or underarm than Botox injections do.
The Dysport treatments require fewer injections than similar doses of Botox, so that savings is even more significant.
Larger areas such as the forehead and underarm sometimes require more injections with Botox, but that is not the
case with Dysport. In addition, the treatments have been described as nearly painless with Dysport when compared to
similar Botox treatments.
No one has to know that you had more than just your teeth filled.
Here at My Dentist we strive to offer our patients the most up to date procedures in Cosmetic Dentistry.
We already know how to help you achieve the best oral health possible through routine exams and prophylaxis.
For years we've been helping our patients have a younger looking smile. Now with the newest technology we will be
able to give you a much younger appearance by filling in those parenthesis around your mouth, the stress lines on your
forehead and the crow's feet around your eyes.
