The New Face Lift: Why Dermal Fillers are Here to Stay

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Wrinkles are the road map life writes across the face, a living record of a person’s joys and sorrows. But while fine lines and other signs of aging are natural, our faces don’t have to be a reminder of the distance we have traveled. Today there are safe youth-enhancing solutions to the toll life takes on our appearance – most of which are quick, close to painless, and much less expensive than invasive procedures like cosmetic surgery. Dermal fillers, for example, have grown in popularity as women and men alike have realized that the changes that come along with growing older aren’t all inevitable.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are non-allergenic injectable compounds that instantly fill and plump the skin at the injection site, leaving smooth, wrinkle-free skin behind. Many of the types of dermal fillers on the market today are created using substances found naturally in the human body, making them gentle and easily absorbed into the body over time. While the effects of dermal fillers are not permanent, the results are striking and nearly instantaneous.

Finding the Best Dermal Filler for You

When you make the decision to use a dermal filler to refresh and soften your appearance, choosing a specialist who will take the time to research which type of dermal filler will accomplish your goals. At Elizabeth Roche MD MedSpa, we offer a selection of Juvéderm™, Radiesse®, and Restylane-Perlane dermal fillers because our clients have a diverse range of goals and lifestyle concerns. After a personal consultation, we select the best dermal filler geared toward one or more of the following outcomes:

  • Restoring fullness in the face
  • Adding volume to the face
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Removing frown lines
  • Filling acne scars
  • Reducing crows feet and naso-labial creases
  • Plumping hollowed cheeks
  • Enhancing lip fullness
  • Reshaping the nose tip or chin
  • Contouring the face

A Gentle Solution to Aging Concerns

Dermal filler injections require virtually no downtime, making them an ideal choice for busy women and men who want to maintain a more youthful appearance and make small changes to the contours of the face. There’s a good reason this non-surgical, simple, and fast procedure is now one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available today. After you visit us for dermal fillers, you can immediately return to your normal routine, feeling and looking like yourself, only better.

New Jersey Botox® Treatments – Are They Worth It?

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

Nicole Kidman tried them. Simon Cowell uses them. Helena Bonham Carter won’t have anything to do with them. When it comes to BOTOX® treatments, there’s a lot of fierce debate.

Best Candidates for BOTOX® Treatments

New Jersey BOTOX® treatments aren’t for everyone. Some clients may wish to consider a chemical peel or laser resurfacing to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

But for those with really tough wrinkle lines, a BOTOX® injection can be a true miracle-maker. At the Elizabeth Roche M.D. MedSpa, we’ve seen some amazing results with New Jersey clients who wish to reduce:

  • Severe crow’s feet
  • Noticeable frown lines
  • Deep forehead lines

Benefits of New Jersey BOTOX® Injections

What’s more, BOTOX® is remarkably quick. One 10-minute BOTOX® injection will show you a noticeable improvement in only a few days and last for up to 4 months.

BOTOX® treatments also have the benefits of being:

  • Safe: BOTOX® has been FDA-approved since 2002
  • Painless: Treatments cause minimal discomfort
  • Invisible: Unlike other treatments, skin needs no time to heal

How to Stop Excessive Sweating

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Until recently, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) was thought to be untreatable. Men and women with sweaty armpits had no choice but antiperspirants and frequent showers.

Fortunately, BOTOX® injections are highly effective in treating abnormal perspiration. Approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004, BOTOX® is proving to be a safe and smart solution for sweat.

Clinical Results

In a 2004 clinical study at the St. Louis University School of Medicine, 322 patients with severe underarm sweating were treated with BOTOX®.

  • 81% of the patients receiving BOTOX® injections achieved a greater than 50% reduction in sweating.
  • In addition, 50% of the patients had their excessive underarm sweating relieved for at least 201 days (nearly 7 months).

The Elizabeth Roche MedSpa is licensed to perform BOTOX® injections for excessive underarm sweating. If you live in the New Jersey area, we’re here to help you solve a lifelong worry.
