Facial plastic surgery isn’t the only way to turn back the hands of time. Patients in the area of Northbrook, IL who are looking for a way to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and folds may want to turn to a professional who offers cosmetic injectables as an alternative option. Dr. Daniel S. Tresley is a provider who is pleased to offer a wide range of injectable treatments to improve the face without surgical interventions.
What type of injections are available for enhancing the face?
Below are just a few of the many cosmetic injectables available at the practice of Dr. Daniel S. Tresley:
- Neuromodulators – neuromodulators are used to reduce muscle contractions of the face which can result in the formation of wrinkles and folds known as “dynamic wrinkles.” Some of the more popular brands that patients may know include Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers – hyaluronic acid is an element that naturally occurs in the human body and can be used to add volume directly under the skin where it is needed. Hyaluronic acid fillers include the Juvéderm® and Restylane® family of fillers, including Restylane Lyft®, Contour®, Kysse®, Refyne®, and Defyne®.
- Kybella® – patients who have excess fat underneath the chin that creates submental fullness, or a “double chin,” can also seek relief with cosmetic injectables. Kybella® is the first FDA-approved injection specifically cleared to reduce fat underneath the chin that contributes to the double chin appearance. It slowly combats fat cells and allows the body to flush them through the lymphatic system, gradually reducing the appearance of submental fullness.
- Sculptra – Sculptra® is a special injectable known as a collagen stimulator that is formulated with PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid). It provides more lasting results as it boosts collagen formation in the skin for added volume up to two years after initial injections.
