Botox and Dermal Fillers in Ardmore, OK
Skin enhancements like Botox and fillers can create smoother skin. The injectables that we offer in our offices include:
- Botox: We provide Botox Cosmetic for patients who want to treat wrinkles and creases in their skin. Botox is a neurotoxin that affects the facial muscles. When injected into certain areas of the face, Botox relaxes the muscles, in turn smoothing wrinkles in the face. Botox typically lasts 3 to 5 months.
- Xeomin: Similar to Botox, Xeomin, also known as incobotulinumtoxinA, is an injectable and non-invasive treatment. However, Xeomin targets moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Xeomin is a double-filtered neurotoxin that affects the muscles like Botox. Xeomin can also last three or more months.
- Juvéderm: This common brand of dermal filler also provides non-surgical and non-invasive treatment. Dermal fillers add volume to certain areas and can address lines in the face. We can place Juvéderm in the lips, cheeks, under eyes, jaw, chin, and smile lines. This dermal filler contains a modified form of hyaluronic acid to keep the skin soft and smooth. Dermal fillers can last for 6 to 12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Botox and dermal fillers.
How long after Botox can I work out?
After Botox, we recommend waiting at least 4 hours before exercising. Physical activity can spread the toxin to unintended areas. For best results, avoid working out for 24 hours post-treatment. This allows the Botox to settle properly in the targeted muscles. Light activities like walking are usually fine after a few hours.
Does Botox cause headaches or migraines?
Botox typically doesn’t cause headaches or migraines. In fact, doctors often use Botox to treat chronic migraines. Some patients might experience mild headaches immediately after treatment. However, these headaches usually subside quickly. If you develop persistent headaches after Botox, contact your provider. Most patients find Botox reduces their headache frequency rather than triggering them.
Will people notice I had Botox?
Skilled Botox injections create subtle results. An experienced practitioner will aim for natural-looking results. Most people won’t notice you’ve had treatment. Moreover, some people might notice a refreshed or more youthful appearance. The effects develop gradually over a few days, avoiding an apparent sudden change.
Is Juvederm better than Botox?
Juvederm and Botox serve different purposes. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles. Juvederm adds volume to fill lines and enhance features. Neither is “better” overall. The best choice depends on your specific concerns and goals. Often, people use both treatments together for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Do fillers work after 60?
Fillers can work effectively for people over 60. Age doesn’t disqualify you from treatment. Older skin may require different techniques or filler types. Results can be very natural-looking, restoring lost volume. However, the results might vary depending on individual skin condition and overall health. We’ll assess your skin and discuss expectations during a consultation.
Are dermal fillers permanent?
Dermal fillers aren’t permanent. Most last 6 to 18 months, depending on the type. Your body gradually absorbs the filler over time. Some fillers can last up to 2 years. We can discuss different options and their longevity during your consultation.
