Botox And Fillers
Injectables
As we age, different parts of the face lose shape and fullness leading to lines, wrinkles, and a less youthful-looking appearance. In many cases, this is because our bodies aren’t producing as much hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen as they used to. At Pensilvenia Spa we offer a wide range of injectables and fillers to help you achieve a younger-looking version of yourself.
Injectable Fillers:
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.
How Kybella works:
The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Sculptra
Sculptra aesthetics is an FDA approved injectable that’s used to treat mild to severe facial wrinkles. Unlike other injectables that fill wrinkles, Sculptra Aesthetic is made from a poly-L-Lactic acid that stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen over time.
Sculptra provides up to 80 percent improvement in the treated area and lasts up to two years.
Restylane
Restylane line of products offers tailored treatment for individual, natural-looking results.
Designed to act like the body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, the Restylane line of products visibly reduces facial wrinkles and folds, adds smooth, silky definition to lips, and provides a lift for cheeks.
We offer:
- Restylane
- Restylane Defyne
- Restylane Refyne
- Restylane Lyft
- Restylane Silk
Radiesse
Radiesse is a volumizing filler, that provides an instant lift, filling wrinkles and folds to help restore a more youthful look to your skin. And it continues to work with your body, stimulating the natural production of collagen for a more refreshed appearance that can last up to a year or more in many patients.
Belotero
Belotero is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid. This acid is found naturally within your skin, but it diminishes as you age. Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally within your skin, it is safe and effective at adding volume and smoothing out the skin’s surface. Once injected, Belotero instantly binds with the water within your dermis and helps fill in creases, lines, and wrinkles. The changes to your face are immediately apparent.
The main benefit of Belotero is its unique mixture. While some fillers create a puffy or lumpy look, Belotero helps to avoid this. In addition, some fillers create a bluish tinge because of the Tyndall effect in areas with thin skin, Belotero doesn’t.
Belotero is effective in:
- nasolabial folds (the lines that travel from the side of the nose to the edge of the mouth)
- finer lines like those you find above the lips
- beneficial in helping fill in the hollows that occur under the eyes in the area known as the tear troughs.
Disclaimer:
All wrinkle fillers have a downside, including the risk of allergic reactions and the formation of tiny bumps under the skin. In some cases, those bumps may be permanent. Typically, wrinkle fillers with longer-lasting effects are the ones more likely to cause side effects.
Botolinum toxin (Type A) is a cosmetic injection that blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This effect relaxed and smooths the look of lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive movements on the face-most commonly, between the brows, crows-feet around the eyes, and horizontal forehead creases.
We offer the following:
- Botox
- Dysport
- Xeomin
When to consider Botolinum Toxin:
- deep lines between your eyes make you tired, angry, sad, or upset
- Your facial expressions cause wrinkles in and around your eyes and forehead
- There is an asymmetry in your eyebrows or face that can be corrected by relaxing a muscle
