What are aesthetics?

Aesthetic medicine is a broad term for specialties that focus on altering cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions including scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration and spider veins. Aesthetic medicine procedures are usually elective and include many different types of dermal fillers.

Botox specifically refers to a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. More than 1 million men and women annually have chosen this popular facial rejuvenation treatment, which can be a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime.

While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this too! Here are a few of the common issues dermal fillers can help address:

Smooth out lines around nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses)
Enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples
Diminish vertical lip lines
Plump & enhance the lips
Smooth out a chin crease
Improve symmetry among facial features

What aesthetic procedures are offered?

Currently, we offer Botox and dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM, Revanesse, and Restylane. While JUVÉDERM, Revanesse, and Restylane are the most commonly used dermal fillers, other options are available. Please speak to the staff at Avalon Family Care when planning your aesthetic treatment about all available options.

It delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.

Revanesse Versa is a hyaluronic acid-based filler. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces that scientists believe is a key component in slowing skin aging. Because this molecule can retain water, it helps your skin stay hydrated and supple, giving you even better skin revitalization results. Revanesse a safe, effective means to restore facial volume wherever you need it. This not only smooths the folds and wrinkles in the treated area, but it also plumps your skin, helping you look energized and vibrant.

Restylane is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, helping to visibly correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the lines that run from your nose toward the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines).
