Combining Dermal Fillers with Botox
Soft Lift ™
Sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, and repeated facial movements (smiling, frowning, squinting) can impact our skin over time, resulting in forehead wrinkles, loss of facial volume, and a tired, sunken appearance.
A non-surgical facelift performed by Dr. Denton addresses all of these concerns without the anesthesia, discomfort, and extensive recovery time associated with invasive facial surgery.
Dermal fillers to restore facial volume where collagen and Hyaluronic acid have been depleted. Injections are performed using very fine needles to minimize discomfort, with most patients returning to their normal routines immediately following treatment. The result is a full facial rejuvenation effect that is subtle and natural-looking, making you appear 10 to 15 years younger.
It is generally accepted that the first time individuals receive Botox Cosmetic the results will diminish after 3 to 4 months. Certainly with repeated use the muscles weaken, resulting in lower dosages and longer intervals between treatments. The vast majority of Dr. Denton’s regular clients only require Botox Cosmetic “touch-ups” twice per year. We have also found that when a dermal filler (such as Juvederm, Restyalne, Voluma, or Radiesse) is used with Botox Cosmetic the Botox Cosmetic tends to last twice as long. Similarly, the fillers tend to last twice as long if Botox Cosmetic is used at the same time.
Non-Surgical Face Lifts, sometimes referred to as the “Soft Lift ™” utilizes both Botox Cosmetic and the above fillers to obtain a long lasting refreshed and less tired appearance. There is now ample evidence to support our observations that adequate amounts of filler can last a very long time. We find that Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma and Radiesse can commonly last for years when utilized in appropriate amounts in the Cheeks, Tear troughs, and Jaw-line.
The vast majority of dermal fillers used in Canada consist of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in all living species, including Humans. We have found that only does the amount of filler increase longevity, but also the size of the actual molecule. We prefer to use larger particle size such as Voluma and Radiesse for Cheeks and Jaw-line definition, and the smaller particles for a subtle Lip enhancement, Tear trough filling, or Nose revisions.
