Aging does not need to be an obstacle to enjoying smooth skin and sleek facial features. Dental Botox® and Juvederm® treatments are effective for temporarily eliminating wrinkles and giving skin a healthy, youthful look. At René A. Talbot, DDS, our goal is to help you feel beautiful all the time by restoring the vibrance of your natural facial contours and reducing the effect that wrinkles have on your appearance.
Botox® treatments are designed to get rid of crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines and forehead wrinkles. Juvederm® application increases the fullness of cheeks, lips and other parts of the face, giving these areas a plump, youthful appearance. Together, these treatments have the power to deliver luxurious skin that looks and feels younger.
If you want to turn back the clock or slow its advance, we invite you to speak with Dr. Rene' Talbot to find out what dental Botox® and Juvederm® can do for you.
Juvederm® is a dermatological filler with numerous cosmetic benefits. The secret to this revolutionary skin product is hyaluronic acid, a type of protein that appears naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid enhances the volume and appearance of skin by absorbing an increased amount of water where applied.
As a gel, this product has a smooth texture that distributes well within the lips, cheeks and other parts of the face. Juvederm® is frequently used around this area. It can have a significant impact on wrinkles and deliver other benefits:
This product is appropriate for moderate to severe wrinkles around the mouth and nose, as well as for adding volume to lips that have changed with age. By improving hydration of target areas, it is possible to increase the elasticity and fullness of cheek areas as well.
Juvederm® fillers contain lidocaine, a type of topical anesthetic. This agent is effective at reducing or eliminating discomfort during treatment. In addition, our treatments utilize fine needles (similar to the tiny pins used for acupuncture) that minimize pain. Many patients do not feel any pain, while others may rarely experience minor discomfort, tenderness, irritation, itching or bruising at the site of injections.
Botox® is a popular and safe treatment option for many patients. It is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment, so there are fewer risks of complications and generally no scars to worry about. Of course, every patient is unique, so it is important to speak with our team about any concerns or medical allergies you may have before getting started.
Some patients have side effects following Botox® treatment. According to Mayo Clinic, a few common side effects are temporary pain at the site of injection, bruising, redness and headaches. Some individuals may have an allergic reaction to Botox®, leading to itching, swelling or rash. If you suspect allergy systems or notice other negative side effects, we encourage you to reach out to us right away so we can help.
Working with a certified dental practitioner who has extensive experience with cosmetic treatments is a good way to minimize any risks of complications. We may also provide specific instructions to minimize chances of bruising, such as avoiding aspirin or ibuprofen for a few weeks before your treatment. Dr. Rene' Talbot is attentive to your needs at the initial appointment, during treatment and for excellent follow-up care.
There are a number of different types of specialized Juvederm® products that cater to specific areas of the face. These are designed to target the problem areas that concern our patients and deliver excellent results. For example, some types of Juvederm® focus on smoothing vertical lip lines and increasing lip volume, while others provide a lift to cheeks and reduce wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Depending on your ideal facial appearance, we can help you choose a product that provides the results you desire.
The first step in your treatment is an initial appointment that allows us to understand your appearance goals. We are always ready to answer your questions, help you compare the benefits of each type of Juvederm® and address any concerns you may have. We want you to feel comfortable and happy during treatment and as you live your life afterwards.
Each application takes from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated. A small amount of hyaluronic filler is injected directly into the target sites using a fine needle. The results of this treatment are noticeable almost immediately, and they typically last for nine to 12 months. Follow-up treatments utilize a smaller quantity of material and often produce even more noticeable beauty effects.
Botox® is another excellent option for getting rid of age-related wrinkles. It consists of a natural substance injected into facial muscles to cause them to relax. Once these problem muscles are temporarily paralyzed, frown lines typically improve significantly.
Once our team has identified the areas for Botox® treatment, a small amount of the substance is injected into your subdermal muscle tissue. Many patients find this process to be quick and painless. Others may experience minor discomfort from the injections, though this is not common due to the small size of needles used. In addition, we often numb the area with topical anesthetic prior to getting started.
A single Botox® application typically takes from 10 to 15 minutes, and our patients can usually return to work or continue with their regular activities immediately afterwards. Depending on your age and lifestyle, the effects of each treatment typically last for three or four months. Once we get to know your skin and desired appearance, we can help you establish a treatment schedule that gives you the results you desire.
