What do medical spas offer? Med spas focus on providing nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. Some of the common treatments offered by med spas are botulinum toxin injections (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®), injectable dermal fillers, nonsurgical fat reduction, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing and tattoo removal.
Dermal Fillers – Hyaluronic Acid based Facial fillers are commonly used to restore loss volume in the face, building lip structure, Profile balancing, Creating facial contours, Sculpting out a jawline, ect.
Skin color and hair color make a difference in results. The laser targets the pigmentation and, for most, the area of greatest pigmentation is the hair. As the laser hits the hair, it essentially burns its root, giving permanent hair reduction or stopping hair growth altogether.
Though the applications are vast, these treatments are very effective in combating the signs of aging. The pain and recovery time from injectable treatments is minimal. Contact our team at Encore Medical Rejuvenation to book your consultation and learn how these treatments can help you.
Dysport or Botox injections consist of a toxin that blocks signals from nerves to weaken or paralyze certain muscles. This is very useful in treating a variety of cosmetic and medical conditions. Most commonly Botox or Dysport are used to relax muscles in the face to reduce lines and wrinkles that develop in the skin over time. The effects last about three to twelve months, depending on the application.
Botox treatments are injections that are now used to treat migraines and target facial muscles, with the intent being to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Once a client has botox® injected where desired, horizontal forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, or any other troublesome facial lines become visibly reduced. Botox® treatments are a virtually painless form of cosmetic medicine that users swear by! Both last approximately three months, with effects fully taking place only a few days after the injections.
The treatment area is dictated by the individual characteristics of patients. While there are many anti-aging treatments available, the best Botox® treatments will continue to allow the client to look natural while erasing years of sun damage and dynamic wrinkles.
Most individuals have heard of Botox®, but many are unaware of Dysport®. Dysport® and Botox® are very similar in composition, and both are frequently used to treat lines and wrinkles on the face. Both cosmetic injectables are highly effective, and both take full effect in roughly two to three days, so why would a patient need one type of injection over another?
While Botox® injections are very specific to the injection site, Dysport® spreads out a bit more, giving the user a wider area being affected. This spreading effect is not drastic, but for larger areas of wrinkles, such as the forehead and between the eyes, this spreading effect means fewer overall shots. For this reason, many individuals prefer Dysport® for larger, deeper areas of wrinkles.
While the price of a unit of Dysport® is typically less than a unit of Botox®, more Dysport® medication must be injected to give the same results. To know which one to use, a doctor will look at the facial anatomy and individual lines and wrinkles to develop a proper treatment plan. Encore Medical Rejuvenation uses both Botox® and Dysport® in our medical spa.
