Tame Cellulite With QWO Treatments

Cellulite

Here to help you look and feel your best when it comes to reducing or eliminating cellulite buildup within the buttocks, we at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, IN, are using QWO for cellulite with outstanding results that you’re sure to notice. With the advances in medical treatments continuing to improve, we strive to stay up to date with the latest treatment options when it comes to treating moderate to severe cellulite so that you can get the best treatments available today.

QWO is an FDA-approved injectable that is completed in a series to help smooth out and reduce the appearance of cellulite within the buttocks. We’ve helped women take back their confidence with QWO cellulite treatments with results that are noticeable and enjoyed.

What is QWO For Cellulite?

QWO is an FDA-approved injectable designed to help treat the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks. QWO injectables work by using a special enzyme that helps to dissolve the fibrous bands that are associated with the appearance of cellulite. This helps to smooth out the skin around the buttocks and reduce the appearance of cellulite leaving you with a more firm and smoothed-out look.

The Benefits of QWO

While there are many treatments, procedures, and ways that you can address cellulite, QWO offers you unique benefits that may be hard to come by with other treatment options. As a minimally invasive and non-surgical treatment for treating moderate cellulite, our QWO injectables are both fast and convenient with proven results.

Below are some of the major benefits that professionally applied QWO treatments may offer when you’re looking to rid yourself of moderate cellulite.

  • Fast and convenient treatments
  • Proven results
  • Lasting improvements
  • Non-surgical treatment option

Your QWO Cellulite Treatment

Even though QWO is minimally invasive and the procedure is performed in the office, it’s still a medical treatment and should be approached as such. Ensuring that you have a certified provider with both the knowledge and training necessary to perform your treatment is crucial to getting the results that you’re after. 

We offer professional QWO injections that are always performed by highly skilled, and highly trained professionals so that you can rest assured that you’re getting quality treatment. Your first step toward reducing the appearance of cellulite starts with a simple phone call to set up your initial consultation with one of our QWO experts who will help guide you through the process from start to finish.

Initial Consultation

At your initial consultation, we’ll review the area of treatment to ensure that QWO is the absolute best treatment option when it comes to meeting your specific needs. This is a great opportunity for you to have any questions answered or concerns addressed before your treatment so that you can feel comfortable and confident going forward. We’ll discuss any previous treatments that you’ve had as well as review some medical history so that we can give you the best possible treatment that will help you achieve the results that you want.

Your In-Office Treatment

After it’s been decided that QWO is the best treatment option to address your cellulite, you’ll arrive at the office where your professional provider will perform your injection. Typically injections only take about 10 minutes to complete, with you remaining prone for an additional 5 minutes afterward to help the injection remain in place and begin its work.

QWO treatments are performed in a series of 3 visits with 3 injections, set about 21 days apart from one another for you to see the best results. With noticeably smoother skin appearing after your initial series of treatments, or 10 weeks once completed. Your series of treatments will be discussed ahead of time during your initial consultation so that you can plan and work around your schedule for easy and convenient visits.

The Road To Recovery

With QWO cellulite treatment being a minimally invasive option for cellulite, it requires very little to no downtime post-procedure to recover. Most patients are typically back to their daily routines as soon as their treatments are complete. However, it’s important that you follow all aftercare instructions and advice from our specialists as well as avoid any strenuous activity for at least the first 24 hours after your treatment to get the best results.

Deciding if QWO is Right For You

If you struggle with moderate to severe cellulite in your buttocks, then QWO may be able to help. Designed with women in mind, QWO injections work best on patients who struggle with cellulite and who aren’t expecting any serious changes in things such as weight, are in good health, and aren’t struggling with skin laxity. It’s always best to consult with one of our QWO experts to determine whether the treatment is right for you, with professional guidance that you can trust to give you honest and reliable answers.

Slim Down With Certified Cool Lipo Treatments

Cool Lipo Treatments

If you’re looking to get a more refined, toned, and slimmer look but struggle with certain areas of stubborn fat, then our cool lipo treatments can help. At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, we use cool lipo to help you eliminate unwanted fat in areas throughout your body to help you achieve a slimmer and more confident figure that you’re sure to love and that others are sure to notice.

With our cool lipo treatments, you can say goodbye to fat cells once and for all in as little as a single treatment. To learn more about certified cool lipo treatments or to set up your consultation, give us a call, we’re here to help you achieve the results that you want with our professional cool lipo treatments.

What is Cool Lipo?

Cool lipo is a state-of-the-art body procedure that uses the power of an aesthetic laser combined with gentle suction to help liquefy and eliminate stubborn fat throughout the body. Combined with laser-assisted lipolysis we can gently and effectively help contour and transform areas that are often difficult to slim down with diet and exercise alone.

As a non-invasive treatment, cool lipo is designed to get you in and out quickly so that you can return to your everyday routine with minimal downtime. This makes cool lipo sculpting a popular option when you’re dealing with both stubborn fat as well as a busy schedule.

What Makes Cool Lipo Different Than Traditional Liposuction?

While it’s easy to get cool lipo liposuction and traditional liposuction mixed up, some key differences set cool lipo apart from its traditional counterpart. While liposuction works well on larger areas and heavier amounts of fat removal, cool lipo is specifically designed to help treat smaller sections that don’t require large amounts of removal.

Traditional liposuction is considered an invasive procedure and requires you to take time to properly recover after your treatment. While recovery times are only around 3 to 5 days with some lingering effects that can persist for weeks, cool lipo has virtually zero recovery time post-treatment. This enables most patients to return to their normal and daily routines immediately after their treatment is complete. 

The Benefits of Cool Lipo

Although cool lipo may not be right to tackle larger areas that typically contain more fat, it offers a variety of benefits that make it an ideal choice for smaller areas. With the ability to help contour and slim specific areas while allowing you to return to your daily routine quickly. This has made cool lipo sculpting an increasingly popular choice for fast, effective, and noticeable results when it comes to slimming down.

Cool lipo allows you to remove and eliminate stubborn fat throughout almost any location on your body. Below are some of the most commonly treated areas when it comes to using cutting-edge cool lipo.

  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Jowls
  • Upper arms
  • Thighs
  • Abdomen

It’s Minimally Invasive

One of the main things that make cool lipo so popular when it comes to slimming down specific areas is that it’s minimally invasive. This means that when compared to other more invasive procedures, cool lipo lets you get back onto your feet and into your daily routine quickly. The in-office treatment typically takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete depending on the location and amount of fat that is removed with minimal scarring, which helps you enjoy your new look without the worry of visible scars from larger incisions.

Fast and Noticeable Results

You’ll see results almost immediately after your first cool lipo liposuction treatment. With complete results showing after a span of 4 to 6 months after treatment. With noticeable results both immediately and over time, cool lipo has the power to eliminate around 20 to 25% of fat cells within the targeted area. Leaving you with a slimmer, contoured, and more youthful appearance that’s noticeable.

Minimal Recovery Time

With cool lipo, you’ll have the ability to return to your daily routine immediately. With little to no recovery time after your treatment, cool lipo is one of the quickest ways to eliminate fat and contour your image without the need for more invasive procedures that require longer recovery times. However, some minor side effects such as redness or soreness are normal and will typically subside within the first few weeks.

Can You Benefit From Cool Lipo?

When selecting a treatment option that is capable of eliminating stubborn fat cells once and for all, cool lipo is one of the most effective options available. Best for those who are within 15 to 20 pounds of their target weight, or only have small areas that they’d like to tone, refine, or contour, cool lipo may be a great treatment option.

As a minimally invasive way to eliminate fat, cool lipo sculpting makes it easy to quickly get in and out of treatments and resume daily activities. Making it an easy treatment option for those who don’t have the time for lengthy recoveries or procedures. We can help you decide whether cool lipo liposuction is the best treatment to address your areas of concern with our consultation service. Ensuring that you get the best treatment option to help you obtain the results that you want.

Slim Down With BodyTite By InMode

BodyTite

When you’re struggling to rid yourself of stubborn and unwanted body fat, we here at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center can help with our certified bodytite treatments by InMode. With bodytite, we use the latest in radio frequency technology to help eliminate or reduce stubborn fat all over the body as well as tighten, tone and contour your appearance. 

As a minimally invasive and in-office procedure, our bodytite experts can have you in and out in as little as 30 minutes depending on the location and severity of the treatment area. This enables you to get back to the things you love quicker than more invasive procedures such as liposuction and tummy tucks. While results will vary, bodytite is quickly becoming a top choice for both men and women who are struggling with unwanted body fat.

What is InMode BodyTite?

BodyTite by InMode is an innovative technology that uses radio frequency assisted lipolysis to help dissolve unwanted fat all while tightening skin without the need for invasive procedures such as liposuction. Whether it’s from natural aging, weight loss, or for any other reason, bodytite may be able to help you achieve a slimmer, tighter, and more contoured look.

The minimally invasive treatment is great for anyone who struggles with stubborn fat or excess skin in areas such as the stomach, chest, arms, thighs, back, and more. Results are noticeable almost immediately, and results typically last anywhere from 6 to 12 months.

The Benefits of BodyTite

As a minimally invasive way to combat your unwanted fat and excess skin, bodytite brings a variety of benefits that other procedures may not offer. Being minimally invasive allows you to get back to your daily routine quicker and with less recovery time post-procedure when compared to more invasive contouring and skin-tightening options. 

Beyond your recovery time, some other benefits that are often associated with bodytite may include the following.

  • It’s a versatile treatment
  • No scars
  • The in-office procedure makes it easy to schedule
  • Less painful than more invasive treatments
  • Fast and dramatic results

The BodyTite Procedure

Like with any medical treatment or procedure, it’s important to understand the process before you begin treatment. That’s where we come in with our professional bodytite consultation service. We’re here to help give you professional advice when it comes to selecting the best approach to address your specific needs and concerns. If bodytite isn’t the best treatment option for you, we can help you find a treatment option that will work best for you. This service will be your first stop on your journey toward a slimmer, tighter, and more contoured you.

Initial Consultation

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss and review your areas of concern to determine whether or not bodytite is the best treatment option for you. We’ll also review any past treatments, medical history, and any important information regarding your health that may interfere with the bodytite process.

This is a great opportunity for you to address any concerns or questions that you may have regarding the procedure. We’re here to happily answer any questions so that you can move forward with your bodytite procedure with confidence and peace of mind.

Your BodyTite Procedure

During your treatment, we use localized electrodes to send radiofrequency energy to the targeted treatment areas. This energy then heats the tissue which causes the fat cells to liquefy and become absorbed by your body naturally. The heat also works to tighten the skin by promoting extra elastin and collagen production which is what your body uses to maintain a firm, tight, and youthful appearance. Typically bodytite sessions take around 30 to 45 minutes to complete for an individual area with multiple areas taking anywhere from 1 to 3 hours in total.

Recovery Time

Although bodytite is minimally invasive, it still requires some recovery after your treatment. While not as long as a more invasive procedure such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, it’s recommended that you take around 5 to 10 days to let your body fully heal. For more strenuous activities such as working out, we recommend waiting a few weeks to ensure that your body is ready to take on the demands and strains that these activities require.

With results lasting anywhere from 6 to 12 months after your initial treatment, you’ll be able to enjoy your new look for months to come before needing to schedule a follow-up appointment.

Is BodyTite Right For You?

If you find yourself struggling with persistent fat around your neck, thighs, arms, stomach, or butt, then bodytite may be a viable option for you. Designed to target specific locations and help reduce or eliminate stubborn fat that oftentimes exercises and diet won’t get on its own, bodytite by InMode helps contour and sculpt to give you that extra bit of help you need for your troubled areas.

After your initial consultation, we’ll be able to help determine whether or not bodytite is the best treatment option to tackle your contouring and tightening needs. With our experience when it comes to cosmetic treatments, you’ll get professional opinions and advice when it comes to selecting the most efficient and effective treatment for your specific needs and concerns.

Your Certified BodyTite Provider in Noblesville, IN

At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, we’re experts when it comes to bodytite and other cosmetic treatments. So when you’re fed up with stubborn fat that won’t go away, or just want a tighter and more contoured appearance, give us a call to set up your initial consultation with a bodytite contouring expert.

Is Kybella Permanent?

As we age, the effects of lower production of collagen in the skin, weakening muscles, and simply a lifetime of gravity’s pull can cause changes to the face that make us look older and even larger than we actually are. If you’ve developed a double chin that you simply can’t seem to get rid of, despite diet and exercise efforts, Kybella could be the right choice to address the problem. At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA, we offer help to everyone in the NorCal region. If you’re in Northern California, come talk to us about whether this treatment is right for you.

Is Kybella Permanent? 

This is a permanent treatment. It removes fat cells from the body, and once those fat cells are gone, they do not regrow. The treatment works by taking advantage of something our bodies already know how to do. Our bodies produce deoxycholic acid naturally, which is used to break down the fat that we eat. By injecting a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid into the double chin, we work that same process on the fat in the double chin.

The deoxycholic acid attacks the walls of the fat cells, causing them to dissolve. When they do, they release all their contents, which the body naturally processes and takes away. Since adults do not grow new fat cells, the fat cells are gone for good.

Weight Loss vs. Fat Removal

As with a number of similar fat reduction treatments, this is not meant for weight loss but for fat removal. It’s best that you seek treatment only if you are fairly close to your goal weight and are seeing a double chin that won’t respond to diet and exercise. If you have a substantial amount of weight to lose, healthy, natural weight loss is the right way to get closer to your goal.

Keeping Results

This treatment will destroy fat cells under the chin in the submental region, and those cells will never regrow. However, it is important to remember that fat cells are an essential part of the human body. There is no treatment that can, or should, remove every single fat cell from any area.

There will always be some fat cells remaining in the submental region, and these may continue to expand if you overeat. So long as you maintain your weight within about 20 pounds of the time of treatment, you can expect to enjoy your results indefinitely. If you put on too much weight, you may develop a double chin once again.

Skin Issues

Be aware that sometimes a double chin is not the result of fat gain at all, even though it may look like it. Instead, the issue is sagging skin, which can worsen with age and become more likely if you lose or gain a lot of weight quickly. This treatment cannot help with the double chin that is caused by sagging skin, but we do have other effective treatments that can help.

FAQ About Kybella

How Quickly Will I See Results?

You must give your body time to process the destroyed fat cells naturally. Your lymphatic system will take care of this, with support from your circulatory system, so your timeframe will depend in part on the health of both of these bodily systems and your general metabolic rate. You should expect to see your final results about 4 to 6 weeks after your last treatment session.

By doing a few things to support your body, you can see the fastest results possible for you, personally. There are some things in particular that will be helpful: eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated.

Eat Well

You can support your circulatory and lymphatic systems with a healthy diet. Stop eating refined grains and sugars and prioritize healthy fats like those from avocados, coconuts, and olives or from grass-fed animal sources. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, but not so many that you neglect to eat healthy protein, which should be primarily from grass-fed or free-ranged animal sources. Eat fruit, as well, but remember that fruit has a lot of sugar, so prioritize vegetables over fruit.

Exercise

One of the best things you can do to speed up your treatment is to get regular aerobic exercise. Your circulatory system in particular will benefit from getting at least 150 minutes of walking in a week. This can be done at a moderate pace, so there’s no need to take up jogging or running if you’re not interested.

Your circulatory system is also greatly impacted by the amount of muscle you have, so muscle building is important. However, it’s best not to stress your system with over-exertion at the gym during the 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. If you are just now considering getting this treatment, however, now is the time to start building muscle and getting your circulatory system in shape.

Stay Rested

Both your lymphatic system and your circulatory system repair during rest, and they need periods of REM sleep at night in order to function at their peak. Do whatever you can to minimize stress and ensure that you’re getting a good night’s sleep every night.

Drink Plenty of Water

Hydration is also essential for the lymphatic system in particular. Whenever you are dehydrated, bodily systems function more slowly, including both the circulatory and lymphatic systems. You need about 3 quarts of fluid per day to stay hydrated, and ould shremember that alcohol and heavily caffeinated drinks really don’t count. However, most teas do, as well as broths and moisture-rich vegetables and fruit.

How Many Sessions Does It Take?

Most people need about one or two treatments to reach their final goals with Kybella. Of course, everyone is different, and ultimately it will depend on your body and the amount of fat that needs to be removed. The maximum number of sessions that a person might need is usually six.

How Can I Maintain My Weight After Treatment?

It can be tricky to maintain weight loss, and many of us find it’s easier to lose weight than to keep it off. If you have already been successful in losing weight, you know some of the things that you need to do, but one thing that may help is weighing yourself regularly. Studies have shown that people who weigh themselves every day, or at least every week, have more motivation to keep up a healthy lifestyle.

Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment? 

Most people who are interested in this treatment are good candidates, though we will look at the amount of excess fat you have in the chin and neck area, as well as consider why you have a double chin in the first place. As mentioned, this treatment is not effective in dealing with double chins caused by sagging skin.

If your double chin is caused by fat, and if you are in good health overall and are over 18 years old, this is probably a good treatment for you. When you come to talk to us in consultation, we will discuss your candidacy in detail and give you all the information you need.

What Is Treatment Like?

The first step in treatment is for us to sanitize the skin in the treatment area. Our next step will be to mark all the locations where we will make injections. We will do this in a precise pattern so that nothing is missed. At this point, we can also apply a numbing cream if you are concerned, though the needles used in this treatment are very fine and not painful.

Each injection session takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Ultimately, it will depend on the contour of your face and neck, exactly how much fat you need to be removed, and the dosage of treatment.

What Should I Do After Treatment?

There is no lengthy downtime associated with this treatment. You can go back to most of your regular routine immediately, though we will ask you to stay out of direct sunlight for a while, and you may want to use cold compresses for a bit or sleep with a chin compression strap. We will give you more instructions when you come to see us, and these will be based on your specific situation.

What Is Water Jet-Assisted Liposuction?

Liposuction has been used for decades to reduce unwanted body fat, as well as address other health-related concerns, but today, lipo sculpting is better than ever. Water jet-assisted liposuction is an improved technique that can help everyone in Norcal reach their aesthetic goals faster and more easily than ever before. At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA, we help everyone in Northern California and beyond with this innovative technique. Today, we’re explaining what this type of liposuction is and what it can do.

What Is WaterJet-Assisted Liposuction?

Waterjet-assisted liposuction is an alternative technique that uses a spray of water to separate the fat from the surrounding tissues during the liposuction session. This fan-shaped water spray gently separates the tissues, which means the entire technique is less traumatic for the body than traditional liposuction. It also allows us to be more precise and versatile in our technique.

Why This Lipo Sculpting Method Is Different (and Better)

What makes this method of liposuction so much better? This particular treatment method has become very popular in recent years, in Northern CA and beyond, for a number of reasons, most especially the range of concerns that can be addressed because it is so much more precise than traditional lipo sculpting. Some of its benefits over traditional lipo include:

It’s Not as Invasive

Liposuction is by definition a bit invasive. A cannula must be inserted into the body, and sometimes in multiple areas. Waterjet-assisted liposuction cuts down on the invasive nature of this procedure.

The first step is to use the water jet to separate fat from the surrounding tissues, and this means that in the next step, we can use a much smaller cannula to remove fat from the body. A smaller cannula equals less invasion, and a less traumatic experience all around.

It Offers Better Results

Traditional liposuction is capable of removing large amounts of fat, but because it’s harder for traditional lipo to be precise, it is possible for the end result to look a bit lumpy or uneven. Sometimes this has nothing to do with the skill of the provider at the moment: it’s just the way body fat settles once the procedure is over.

This new technique allows for a much greater position and targeting, which means that the results look more natural and even.

It’s More Comfortable

Anything that is less invasive will by definition also be less painful and have a shorter recovery period. The larger cannula used in traditional procedures is simply blunter as a force and moves things around more than a smaller cannula would. Because waterjet-assisted lipo is more precise, there is less bruising, less trauma to the body, and greater comfort throughout.

How It Works

This treatment can be accomplished in as little as 90 minutes for most people. It does require the use of anesthesia, but it is just as simple as traditional liposuction to perform; in fact, in some ways, it is more simple, yet produces better results. Here are the steps involved:

Consultation

As with any cosmetic surgery, it’s very important to attend a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate. During the consultation, we will talk about your concerns and goals, evaluate your treatment areas, and go over your medical history and list of medications and supplements.

This will allow us to determine if you are a candidate for this type of liposuction. In general, anyone in Northern California who wants to get rid of body fat is likely to qualify as long as they are generally in good health.

Preparation

No special preparation is required for this treatment other than what would normally be required for traditional liposuction. You will need to stop taking any blood-thinning medications or supplements for 5 to 7 days before your appointment and abstain from alcohol and tobacco for 48 hours prior to your liposuction treatment. It may also help you to take some Arnica Montana prior to treatment to ensure a minimum amount of swelling.

As with any similar procedure, it’s a good idea to allow yourself a few days to rest and recover afterward. For the first few days, it will be good if you don’t have to worry too much about cooking, cleaning, child care, or looking after pets. If you’re able to, have someone in to help with these things.

Consider cooking meals in advance that you can warm up in a microwave or oven so that you can concentrate on relaxing for a few days. Recovering from your lipo may actually be a very helpful way to build some much-needed “me” time into your life.

On the Day

We will administer either general anesthesia or sedatives with local anesthesia so that you are comfortable throughout your treatment. We will make a few, small, targeted incisions, and the precise number of incisions and their location will depend on what area of the body you’re having treated and how much fat is being removed.

After the Procedure

Immediately after your procedure, we will monitor you to make sure you are reacting well to the anesthesia and waking up as you should. You should arrange for someone to pick you up and take you home, and you should rest for the first 24 hours, especially. Plan on sleeping any time you feel tired. Depending on how much fat has been removed, we may have you wear some compression garments for a while.

Recovery Process

Most people are back to their regular activities and schedule in just 5 to 10 days, depending on what areas of the body have been treated and how much fat has been removed. You should be able to return even to moderate exercise by 2 to 4 weeks after your treatment, but we will schedule some follow-up appointments so that we can keep track of how you’re doing.

When Will I See Results?

The fat that is removed from your body is gone forever. Your body cannot regenerate new fat cells, except in the case of the most extreme weight gain. However, your body will naturally react to the liposuction procedure by increasing swelling in the area, which will mask fat loss for a time. This is perfectly normal and is a healthy body response to lipo sculpting.

If you have only a small amount of fat removed, you will see your final results more quickly than if you have a large amount removed. The same may be true if you have a particularly high metabolism. Most people see their final results 1 to 3 months after treatment.

Are the Results Permanent?

Because fat cells cannot regenerate, this is a permanent treatment. However, it is important to remember that the fat cells that have been left behind can still expand with overeating. That said, those who take steps to enjoy a healthy lifestyle that includes a good diet, plenty of sleep, and enough exercise can expect to enjoy the results for life.

How Much Weight Can I Lose?

This treatment is not designed to help with significant weight loss. Instead, it’s a way to sculpt your body once you have gotten close to your goals or to address pockets of stubborn fat that refused to respond to your diet and exercise program.

Most people lose between 2 to 5 pounds of body fat, but because the loss is so targeted, this can result in a dramatic change in size. This amount of fat loss can equate to going down two pant sizes.

Who Are Good Candidates?

Anyone who would qualify for traditional liposuction will also qualify for this technique, but because this procedure is more versatile and less traumatic to the body, there are some people who can qualify for it who may not qualify for traditional Lipo. Some people, for example, cannot have traditional liposuction because of scarring, but for some in this category, waterjet-assisted lipo is fine.

See If Waterjet-Assisted Liposuction In Norcal Is Right for You!

If you have been struggling with pockets of unwanted fat, you just can’t get rid of, and if you’re interested in a procedure that is effective but easier and less uncomfortable than traditional liposuction, then waterjet-assisted lipo could be just the choice you’ve been looking for.

Fillers v Botulinum Toxins

Do you look in the mirror and notice you have lost the youthful volume you once had? Are you noticing sagging or drooping skin? Fillers are a great no downtime solution for patients looking to reduce the signs of aging and turn back the hands of time.

Fillers

Fillers are a great option for patients with mild to moderate signs of aging to:

  • Restore volume lost with age
  • Add fullness to the lips
  • Fill lines and wrinkles on the face and neck
  • Add contour to face

The best candidates for fillers are patients that:

  • Have folds or wrinkles that qualify as moderate to severe.
  • Have areas such as sunken cheeks or under eye circle and do not want surgery.

The procedure is quick and we have options to make your visit a comfortable one. Fillers are injected into the skin and provide temporary but lasting results. We offer a wide variety of fillers including the Restylane and Juvederm family of fillers to name the fillers most often asked for by name. We also offer Bellafill — a 5 year filler. We can review the options with you and help you decide which is best for you.

Fillers or Botulinum Toxin?

Here’s a botulinum toxin (aka Botox or Dysport) and filler rule of thumb for you. Expression lines soften with botulinum toxin and lines at rest soften with filler. Botulinum toxins smooth wrinkles caused by muscle activity such as forehead lines and soften crow’s feet and bunny lines between the brows.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a popular cosmetic treatment that can enhance your appearance or body shape by transferring fatty tissue from one area of your body to another, whether it’s your face, breasts, buttocks, or elsewhere. Here at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, we offer this treatment at our locations in Danville, IL, Noblesville, IN, and Shelbyville, IN, as well as at our NorCal practices in Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA.

The benefits of this treatment range from the reduction of lines and wrinkles to more shapely breasts or hips. Not only is it considered to be a safe and effective treatment, but it can be personalized to your specific body type and needs. So if you’re looking for a less invasive way of revitalizing your appearance or getting the curves you’ve always wanted, here’s a quick overview of how this treatment works and what makes someone a good candidate.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer?

While fat transfer can be appropriate for many different types of people, it’s not for everyone. Those who have enough fatty tissue to harvest can be ideal candidates, particularly those who are within a healthy weight range or who have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or above. Also, if you’re looking for a natural way to rejuvenate your appearance, then you may be a perfect candidate.

You should also be in good general health and have realistic expectations about this treatment. If you’re seeking minor adjustments for your breasts, buttocks, or other areas, this treatment may be right for you, whereas those who would like larger increases in shape or cup size may be better candidates for implants. With fat grafting, there is only so much excess fatty tissue that can be harvested for use, and the results are often more modest and natural-looking than implants.

What Is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is a treatment where fatty tissue is extracted from areas of the body where it’s unneeded and used to fill in or sculpt other areas where it can be more desirable. This treatment can be used to enhance the breasts, face, buttocks, and other areas, while it also has the added benefit of thinning or contouring any areas where fat is removed from.

In addition to adding shape and volume to the areas that are treated, it can also be used to revitalize one’s appearance by minimizing the signs of aging, whether you have lines, wrinkles, scars, or thinning facial features.

Where is the Fat Taken From?

There are many areas of the body where we can extract fatty tissue, which are called donor sites, and which donor sites we use will often depend on your particular body type or preferences.

However, the two most common sites of the body where we extract this tissue are the thighs and the stomach, as there is often excess and unwanted fat in these areas. It can also be taken from the hips, arms, lower back, or virtually any other areas that you prefer and where there’s enough fatty tissue for us to extract.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

This treatment has multiple applications for use, where we can treat almost any area of the body that you’re dissatisfied with. The following are some of the most common areas that we regularly treat:

Face

Many facial issues can be treated with a fat transfer, such as wrinkles, lines, and scarring. Some of these issues are caused by the loss of collagen that occurs with aging, which can thin out the skin and make lines, wrinkles, or skin blemishes more prominent.

This treatment can minimize these types of issues by giving the skin a plumper, more youthful-looking appearance, and we can fill in lines, minimize wrinkles, and even reduce the appearance of scars with it.

Breasts

This treatment can also be used to add more volume to the breasts, such as by adding up to ½ a cup size where it’s desired. It can also be used to make the breasts more symmetrical with each other, where we can add more fullness to only one breast if that’s all that’s needed.

Buttocks

Fat grafting for the buttocks has become a very popular alternative to implants in recent years, as it can be safer and often provides longer-lasting results. We can augment the buttocks by giving them a fuller or rounder appearance, which often has the additional benefits of making the waistline appear thinner or accentuating other nearby physical features.

Other Areas

While the face, breasts, and buttocks are the most commonly treated areas, we can augment and enhance many other areas of the body. During your initial consultation with us, we’ll assess any areas on your body that you’re interested in having treated, and we’ll explain what type of results you can expect to see, depending on the extraction and transfer locations.

What Happens During Treatment?

After you schedule an appointment at any of our Indiana, Illinois, or Northern California locations, we’ll carry out a brief consultation with you, which involves an examination and a discussion about your treatment goals.

Extraction Process

We’ll start your treatment by extracting fatty tissue from a pre-selected area using a gentle liposuction technique. This tissue is then processed, where we’ll remove fluid, oil, and other unnecessary materials from it while creating a cellular pellet that will be used to enhance the grafting process later.

We’ll also extract a small amount of blood so that we can collect platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from it. Along with the extracted fatty tissue and cell pellet, the PRP will be reinjected at the treatment sites later, as this can reduce inflammation, improve fat cell survival, and improve the overall results of this treatment.

Transfer Process

The transfer process then takes place where we inject the fatty tissue, PRP, and cellular pellet into the target areas that you’d like treated. We have different methods available to do this, and the process is normally relatively painless and performed as an outpatient treatment.

The entire process can take anywhere between one to five hours, depending on which areas we’ll be treating. However, during some of this time, you’ll be comfortably resting and waiting while we process your fatty tissue, which can sometimes take a few hours.

Aftercare

While you may feel a bit sore for up to two weeks in the areas where we extracted the fatty tissue, this is completely normal and you should otherwise feel fine. There is very little downtime, and most patients can return to work or everyday activities within a few days. Total recovery can take anywhere between one to six weeks, where any minor swelling leftover from the treatment process will gradually subside.

What Are the Advantages?

Readily Accepted By the Body

Unlike other treatments that involve the injection or implantation of foreign substances into the body, this treatment uses your own fat cells, which means that there’s little to no risk of your body rejecting it.

Results Are Long-Lasting

The results of this treatment are permanent, and because your body readily accepts the fat graft and reabsorbs much of the fat cells as normal bodily tissues, you shouldn’t have to return for additional treatments, unless you’d like other areas treated.

It’s Minimally Invasive

Although this treatment involves a minimally invasive method of liposuction, we’re using your own fat instead of other materials, so it’s a much more natural form of treatment than others and therefore gentler on the body.

Less Risk of Complications

This treatment is considered to be safe and carries less risk than traditional cosmetic treatments, especially when implantation procedures.

It Naturally Blends In

The results of this treatment are also more natural-looking than implants and fillers because fatty tissue is capable of naturally blending in with surrounding tissues and bones, so it can be more difficult for others to tell that you’ve had this surgery.

It Can Solve Two Issues

By removing fat from areas of the body where it may be unwanted, we can reshape or reduce the size of these areas while adding volume to other areas, solving two aesthetic issues with a single treatment.

Schedule With Us Today

Fat transfer is one of the safer cosmetic treatments available today to enhance one’s looks, and it can be personalized to your needs and aesthetic goals, whether you’re wanting to increase your breast size or minimize skin blemishes and the signs of aging.

What Is Dysport Used for?

Looking for a way to get back your youthful appearance? Wondering if Dysport could be the right treatment option for you? Here’s what you can target with this injectable when you visit Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA.
 

What Is Dysport Used for?

Frown Lines

When you furrow your brow, do you notice lines appearing in between your eyebrows? These lines are often called frown lines or glabellar lines. Over time, as your skin loses elasticity, these lines are going to become permanent.
 
You can get this injectable to help the muscles underneath the skin stay relaxed. This will help to reduce the appearance of your frown lines or even prevent them from showing up in the first place.
 

Forehead Lines

Another common place where you’re likely to see wrinkling is your forehead. When you lift your eyebrows, this makes horizontal lines appear in the area. Over time, these lines are going to become permanent, making you look perpetually worried or surprised.
 
This injectable is an effective way to smooth out these lines. You’ll not only look younger, but you’ll look much more relaxed and happier too.
 

Eyes

The skin around your eyes is more delicate than the skin on other parts of your face. This means that it’s prone to showing signs of aging much sooner than other areas. One of the most common signs is crow’s feet, which are the little wrinkles extending from the outer corners of your eyes.
 
To reduce their appearance, you can get this injectable. It will relax the muscles under your skin and keep you looking young and healthy.
 

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be a difficult and embarrassing thing to manage. You may feel uncomfortable going out and doing the things you usually love, or you may avoid wearing certain clothes because you’re worried about sweating too much.
 
You can get Dysport injections to help reduce the amount that you sweat. This will help you feel much more confident in your body, and allow you to go out and do all the activities you enjoy without fear.
 

Cervical Dystonia

This is a condition that causes the muscles in the neck to contract sporadically and unpredictably. It can be uncomfortable and even painful to deal with. Unfortunately, there is no cure for cervical dystonia.
 
There are, however, ways that you can manage it. One of the most effective ways to do this is by getting this injectable. Because Dysport causes muscles to relax, this will prevent these painful contractions from occurring.
 

Spasticity

This refers to the involuntary tightening and contracting of muscles. In this way, it’s very similar to cervical dystonia. However, spasticity can affect all areas of your body including your arms and legs. Like cervical dystonia, it can be uncomfortable and even painful. Some contractions can last for several seconds, and it may be impossible to move this part of your body during this time.
 
Using an injectable neuromodulator like this one can help you manage your symptoms by keeping muscles relaxed and preventing these spasms.
 

What Causes Signs of Aging Like Wrinkles?

To better understand how this injectable can help you, it helps to understand why wrinkles appear in the first place. Wrinkles most commonly appear because of a combination of a loss of elasticity in the skin along with repeated facial movements.
 
As your skin loses elasticity, it becomes unable to “snap back” into place when the muscles underneath are relaxed. This results in the lines becoming permanent over time.
 

What Exactly Is Dysport?

Like Botox, this injectable’s main ingredient is Clostridium botulinum type A toxin. The word “toxin” may seem scary at first glance, but this injectable has been approved by the FDA for many years and offers a highly effective and safe way to deal with signs of aging.
 
When it’s injected into the skin, it acts as a neuromodulator. It forces the muscles it’s been injected into to relax by interrupting the signals that your brain sends to them telling them to tense up or contract. This will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from showing up.
 

What Will Treatment Be Like?

Preparing for Treatment

Before you receive your injections, there are a few things you’ll need to do to prepare your skin. When you book your appointment with a qualified practitioner, they will make sure that you have complete instructions.
 
You’ll need to avoid certain substances in the day or two leading up to your appointment. You should avoid alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and foods with high levels of salt and sodium. This is to prevent bruising around the injection sites.
 

Your Appointment

If you decide to get your treatment at our clinic in Northern California, we will make sure that the process is as comfortable for you as possible. To begin, we will clean the areas where you’re going to receive the injections. This will keep any bacteria from entering the injection sites. We’ll also mark the areas where we’re going to apply the product.
 
Before we begin injecting, we may apply a small amount of a topical numbing cream to help your treatment stay comfortable. Once your skin is ready, we’ll begin applying small amounts of the product at a time using a very fine and precise needle. This will ensure that you get the accurate results you want. The entire treatment process should take under an hour.
 

Recovery

This is a non-invasive treatment which means that the recovery process is very simple and pain-free. As soon as your treatment is complete, you’ll be able to leave our clinic and get back to your regular life as long as you follow our simple post-treatment instructions.
 
Your skin is going to be more sensitive over the next couple of days, so avoid direct sunlight as it will burn more easily. You’ll also need to avoid strenuous physical activity that could make you sweat a lot. Make sure you also do not massage or scratch the injection sites.
 

FAQs

Is It Safe?

When they see the word “toxin,” many people get nervous. Dysport is carefully formulated by professionals to provide results that are both effective and safe, so you don’t have to worry.
 
The most important thing to do is choose a qualified practitioner to receive your treatment from. The team at our clinic in Northern CA has performed this treatment countless times, and we know how to make sure you get the results you want safely.
 

When Will I See Results?

One of the benefits of this injectable is that it works very quickly. 2 to 3 days after your injection, you will begin to see the results of your treatment.
 
Over the next week or so, you will notice the lines and wrinkles on your face gradually diminishing until you have the youthful appearance you’ve been wishing for.
 

How Long Are My Results Going to Last?

Once your full results are apparent, you can expect to enjoy them for around 3 to 4 months. Different people will find that their results will last for different amounts of time. You can help your own results last as long as possible by taking care of your skin and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
 
When you have a better idea of how long your individual results will last, you and your practitioner can set up a treatment plan to ensure that you get your appointments when you need them.
 

What’s the Difference Between Neuromodulators and Fillers?

As we discussed earlier, neuromodulators help your skin maintain a youthful appearance by forcing the muscles underneath it to stay relaxed. This one in particular is best suited for the upper parts of the face. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, work by filling in lost volume, providing youthful fulness, and lifting sagging skin.
 
Depending on your individual goals, you may be better suited to getting one over the other. Your practitioner may also recommend getting a combination, as neuromodulators and dermal fillers can easily and safely be combined for the best results.

How Long Do Restylane Results Last?

Are you in NorCal and looking for a way to get back the youthful-looking skin you’ve been missing? Our Restylane treatments at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA can help.
 

How Long Do Restylane Results Last?

Depending on where you are getting your injections and how well you care for your skin after treatment, you can expect your Restylane treatments to last for up to 18 months.
 

What Is Restylane?

This is a dermal filler that’s injected into the desired areas of your face using a very fine needle. Its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which you can find in various parts of your body, including your eyes, skin, and muscles.
 
When it’s injected, the product takes up space under your skin which helps to smooth out skin that’s wrinkling or sagging. It also encourages your body to produce more of an important protein called collagen.
 

Why Does Skin Wrinkle?

A combination of elements will contribute to wrinkling and volume loss in the skin. When you’re young, you have higher levels of chemicals like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in your skin. However, the older you get, the more of these chemicals your skin loses.
 
This means that your skin has a harder time maintaining its structure and elasticity. This combined with repeated facial movements will eventually result in permanent lines and folds forming, along with volume loss and sagging of the skin.
 

What Areas Does Restylane Treat?

Forehead

Your eyebrows are one of the most expressive parts of your face. When you lift them, you’ll find horizontal lines running across your forehead. Over time, you’ll find that these lines become permanent.
 
They can drastically age your appearance while also making you look perpetually surprised. If you get this dermal filler, you can smooth out these lines and maintain a youthful, relaxed appearance. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of the lines that appear in between your eyebrows.
 

Eyes

Your eye area is likely to see some significant changes the older you get. That’s because the skin here is much more delicate than in other areas of your face. Over time, you might notice dark circles appearing under your eyes as you lose volume and they become hollower. You might also see crow’s feet forming or the little lines at the corners of your eyes.
 
You can get this dermal filler to fill in these dark circles and reduce or even eliminate the appearance of crow’s feet. When you do this, your eyes will look brighter and more alert, and your entire face will look much younger.
 

Nose

Because your nose is one of the most prominent areas of your face, it can drastically affect the way your entire face looks. If you don’t want to get a more invasive procedure like rhinoplasty, this filler can offer a great non-invasive way of enhancing your nose.
 
You can also use it to smooth out any bumps and help your nose appear more symmetrical.
 

Cheeks

As you get older, you’re going to lose a lot of volume in your cheeks. Since your cheeks are one of the naturally fullest parts of your face, this volume loss is likely to be pretty noticeable.
 
If your cheeks are looking hollower than you’d like, or if you want to add a little more definition to the area, this filler can help.
 

Jowls

A side effect of volume loss in the cheeks is the formation of jowls. When this volume loss is combined with a loss of elasticity in the skin along with the natural effect of gravity, this can make jowls form.
 
Most people don’t appreciate the appearance of jowls. When you get this filler injected into your cheeks, it will lift your sagging skin and help reduce the appearance of your jowls or prevent them from forming entirely.
 

Smile Lines

The parallel lines that go from your nose down to the outer corners of your mouth are called smile lines, laugh lines, or nasolabial folds. Because your mouth is another extremely mobile part of your face, it’s normal to see these lines come on sooner than other signs of aging.
 
For younger-looking skin, you can get this filler around your mouth area to fill it out and prevent these lines from getting deeper.
 

Lips

Thin lips can make you look more serious than you are, and can age your appearance significantly. As you lose volume in your lips, you may also notice wrinkles forming directly on them, often called lipstick lines or smoker lines.
 
Whether your lips are thin as a result of aging or you’ve always had thin lips, this filler can help. It can also be used on lips that are asymmetrical to help them appear more even.
 

Chin

Volume loss in the chin can make it look weaker. As you get older, you might also notice some wrinkles and sagging in the area. You can get injections of this dermal filler to make your chin look fuller and more defined while also getting rid of wrinkles.
 
You can also use the filler to contour and add more definition to your overall jawline.
 

When Will I See Results?

If you are eager to get the youthful appearance you’ve been missing back, then you don’t want to have to wait a long time to see results from your treatment. Some fillers can take a while to kick in, but you won’t need to wait when you get this one.
 
As soon as your treatment is done, you’ll see a change in the way your skin looks. Over the next week or so, you’ll see the full results of your treatment as the hyaluronic acid begins to take further effect.
 

Who Can Get This Treatment?

Because this filler is so safe and its main ingredient is already naturally present in your body, it’s an effective treatment option for almost anybody as long as they are in good general health.
 
It’s good for candidates who are noticing significant signs of aging and want to get back a more youthful appearance. It can also be an effective preventative measure for people who would like to prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging from appearing in the first place.
 

What Is Getting Treatment Like?

Before Treatment

Before you can get your injections, you will need to do a few things to prepare your skin. Specifically, you should avoid consuming things that may thin your blood and contribute to bruising. Your practitioner in Northern CA will give you a full list of instructions to help you prepare.
 
Make sure that for the day or two leading up to your appointment, you do not smoke tobacco or consume any alcohol. There are also certain supplements and over-the-counter medications to avoid during this time, including Advil, fish oil, and St. John’s wort.
 

Your Appointment

Our clinic in Northern California is ready to welcome you and help you feel as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the entire treatment process. To begin, we will clean the skin where you’re going to get your injections. To help you stay comfortable, we may also apply a small amount of a topical numbing cream.
 
We will then apply the product, using a very fine needle. We’ll inject small amounts of the Restylane at a time to help you get accurate results. You can expect the treatment process to be very fast, with most appointments taking less than an hour total to complete.
 

After Your Appointment

Once your appointment is done, we’ll provide you with instructions on how to care for your skin over the following days. Because this treatment is non-invasive, you can leave as soon as it’s complete. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions we give you to ensure you get the best results.
 
There are just a couple of basic things to be aware of. Your skin will be much more sensitive over the next couple of days, so avoid staying in direct sunlight. You should also make sure you avoid any activities that could make you sweat excessively.
 

Feel More Confident

Signs of aging like wrinkling and sagging may be natural, but it’s unlikely that they’re welcome. If you’d like to get back to a more youthful appearance, we’re ready to help. Get in touch with us today at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA.

How Soon Do You Get Results From Botox?

Botox is a proven solution for treating facial wrinkles. At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center with locations in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA, we recommend this injectable treatment to those who would like to look younger by minimizing facial lines of expression. After getting this treatment, you may be wondering how soon do you see your results. Our experts have all the information you need as you get started on your anti-aging treatment.

How Soon Do You See Results From Botox?

Unlike other anti-aging treatments, Botox injections can provide you with visible results in a matter of days. Within three to four days of getting this treatment, you’ll notice improvements in your skin aging concerns. Your facial wrinkles will look smoother, and you’ll have a more relaxed, refreshed appearance. The full results of your treatment typically show after one to two weeks.

How This Treatment Achieves Near-Instant Results

Injectable treatments offer a breakthrough solution when it comes to minimizing the signs of aging. The reason why Botox works so quickly is that it’s a neuromodulator, which tackles your dynamic wrinkles and facial lines of expression at the source. It gives your face a smoother appearance by relaxing your facial muscles.

It Targets Your Facial Muscles

Many people rely on topical skincare products to reverse or minimize signs of aging. However, with Botox injections, we go beneath the surface of your skin. Topical and superficial treatments can take a long time to show you visible results because skin cells take time to renew and regenerate. Wrinkle-relaxing injections, on the other hand, can give you near-instant results because they regulate muscle contractions.

Each time we make facial expressions or talk, the skin above our muscles moves and forms wrinkles. Over time, this constant formation of wrinkles causes permanent lines to form on the surface of the skin. With the help of neuromodulator injections, we can target these muscles and allow them to stay relaxed. You’ll still be able to make facial expressions and look natural when you talk, but your face will look much smoother and more relaxed.

It Doesn’t Involve Invasive Processes

Cosmetic injections are a popular choice for anti-aging treatments because they are minimally invasive, do not cause skin damage, and offer results that last for many months. Additionally, the results are semi-permanent and do not cause lifelong changes in your appearance. You can easily maintain or reverse your results if you wish to. And because there’s no lengthy recovery period involved, you can enjoy your new look almost right away.

During your treatment session, we use topical numbing agents to maximize your comfort. A fine needle is used to administer your injections. Our skilled injectors will perform your treatment quickly, so there’s no need for you to block your schedule. You can even get your injections over lunch break.

It Creates Natural-Looking Results

Because cosmetic injections do not involve invasive processes, the results look natural yet impressive. There are no scarring or permanent marks caused by the treatment. Additionally, our skilled injectors can refresh your appearance without making dramatic alterations to your look. You’ll be able to smile, talk, and laugh as before.

During your initial consultation, we will ask about the results you wish to achieve, and we’ll advise you on the ideal results we can achieve from your treatment. With our experience and artistic skills, you can be confident about achieving a naturally smooth and wrinkle-free look.

Treatment Process

It’s easy to add Botox injections to your anti-aging routine. The treatment sessions are quick and convenient. You won’t need to worry about extensive preparation and long recovery periods.

To get started, you’ll meet with us for an initial consultation so we can talk about your cosmetic goals, needs, and preferences. We will answer any questions you may have and make sure that you have realistic expectations about the treatment. To ensure that you will have a smooth and safe experience, we will provide you with a list of instructions to follow before your treatment session. Your skin must be in good health before you receive cosmetic injections.

What Happens During Your Treatment?

You can expect to set aside about an hour for your treatment session. During your appointment, we will cleanse your skin to make sure that it’s free from dirt and debris. Next, we will apply a topical numbing agent so that you can feel relaxed while we administer your injections. It can take 10 to 20 minutes for us to complete your series of injections. Once we’re done, you can go home and resume your normal activities.

What Should You Do After Your Session?

We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure that you will have an overall positive treatment experience. By following our aftercare tips, you’ll get the best results. For example, you may apply a cold compress to your injection sites to enhance your comfort. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs is usually not recommended because they can interfere with your treatment. It’s best to relax for the first few days after your treatment.

You may also perform facial exercises to help the injected product reach your target muscles. You may smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows repeatedly for thirty seconds at a time. Nevertheless, whether you perform these movements or not, your treatment will still work, and you’ll eventually see the results of your injections.

What’s the Best Time To Start Your Treatment?

You may be wondering if there’s a right age to start getting Botox. Most people choose to get this treatment in their 30s, but it’s never too early or too late to start getting anti-aging treatments. As soon as you are bothered by signs of skin aging and wish to preserve a more youthful, wrinkle-free look, you can get started on your anti-aging journey.

Botox offers different skin benefits depending on your age and cosmetic goals. For example, some people in their 20s chose to get the treatment as a preventative measure. Getting cosmetic injections can delay the signs of aging. In your 30s and 40s, wrinkle-relaxing injections soften existing creases and facial lines or enhance the results of other cosmetic treatments. Those who have gotten a surgical facelift to address advanced signs of aging may also get injections to refine their appearance.

Why Should You Choose Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections?

Nowadays, you can choose from various treatments that can rejuvenate your appearance and help you achieve a more youthful glow. But what makes cosmetic injections a better choice than laser treatments, chemical peels, and other superficial treatments? Here are some of the reasons why you may prefer getting injections:

  • The results show almost instantly
  • The benefits last for up to six months
  • No preparation and recovery required
  • Treatment sessions are quick
  • Results are natural-looking and impressive

Many people choose to get injections for convenience and comfort alone. And with our skilled injectors, you can also expect beautiful, natural-looking results that will make you feel more confident about your appearance. And because the treatment works deep beneath your sin, there’s no need to worry about getting weekly treatments or committing to a daily or nightly skincare routine to maintain your results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

Those in Good Health

If you want to minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles, our cosmetic injections can be a suitable treatment option for you. When you consult with our team, we will ensure that you are in good health before receiving your treatment. We’ll discuss your general medical history and ask about any conditions that you may have. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we will advise you to postpone your treatment.

Those Who Have Realistic Expectations

Botox can refresh your appearance and make you look years younger by softening your dynamic wrinkles. However, this treatment cannot address all of your skin aging concerns. If you have uneven skin tone, skin laxity, or hyperpigmentation in addition to your wrinkles, you may need to combine your injections with our cosmetic treatments. Our team can develop a personalized treatment plan to help you look your best.

Smooth Away Your Wrinkles Almost Instantly

When it comes to helping you achieve a more youthful look, cosmetic injections offer near immediate results. If you’d like to refresh and soften your look for a special event or occasion in Northern California, there’s no need to start getting an anti-aging treatment month in advance. Our skilled injectors in Northern California can make you look younger instantly.
