The days of being “over-filled” are over – no more puffy, stiff, unnatural looks!
Patients enjoy the benefit of a multi-modality approach to regaining a youthful and refreshed look. While dermal fillers will always have a role in replacing lost volume, 2024 brings other highly beneficial products and techniques to create that desired natural look. Patients realize that with an experienced and creative injector, using a little bit of everything in the right amount and placement, they can achieve a natural, youthful look while not drastically changing their appearance. We balance biostimulator injections, skin tightening treatments, and neuromodulators with dermal fillers to achieve soft, natural results.
Biostimulators such as Sculptra® and Radiesse® are collagen-inducing injectables that help stimulate your body to produce natural collagen to smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin tightness. The result of these injections lasts much longer than using fillers alone. While biostimulators were initially primarily used in multiple areas on the face, we are now very effectively using them in the temples, cheeks, hands, knees, and buttocks. Biostimulators are a class of injectables where the injector’s expertise determines the success.
In addition to biostimulator injections, patients can tighten their skin and increase elastin production through Sofwave™ and Ultherapy®, which are ultrasound technologies that reduce fine lines and wrinkles while lifting the eyebrows, neck, and submental area in a single treatment session. These procedures have no downtime and can be done year-round on any skin type or color. Ultrasound therapy is an excellent option for patients not ready for surgery but wanting to maintain a fresh, youthful look.
In 2024, we will see an increased desire to retain dynamic facial movement with neuromodulators to decrease fine lines and wrinkles. The stiff, frozen look of the past is unnecessary, and patients want to look natural, just with fewer lines and wrinkles. Our younger patients organically align with this trend as they are interested in “prejuvenation” to avoid developing deep lines and wrinkles, which involves using less product strategically placed.
Neuromodulators can also be used with our AQUAGOLD® treatment, a microinjection procedure to deliver Hyaluronic Acid, collagen, and neuromodulators to the skin. We tailor the treatment for each patient based on their skincare needs, providing a personalized treatment resulting in healthier skin with smaller, tighter pores and a glowing complexion. Healthy skin is always in!
With the dazzling array of injectable treatment options, you and your injector can determine an effective plan to meet your aesthetic goals. We are excited about what 2024 will bring in new injectable products and, as always, helping our patients achieve a natural, refreshed look.
