What to Expect with Botox® & Dermal Fillers
Dr. Rever will start by discussing your goals and examining the areas you want to treat. This helps him decide if Botox® or Juvederm® is the right choice and how many injections you will need. Treatment is quick, usually taking only 30 minutes, so you can get back to your regular activities right after your visit.
The procedure begins with a topical numbing cream to make you comfortable. Dr. Rever then uses a very fine needle to inject Botox or dermal filler in the chosen areas. Most patients feel only a slight pinch during the injection.
Some mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur at the injection site, but this goes away within a few days. Over the next couple of weeks, the results will become more noticeable.
Botox® in Silver Spring, MD
Botox is a well-known, non-surgical option for reducing signs of aging. Since the FDA approved it in 2002, Doctors use Botox for both cosmetic and medical purposes. The main ingredient in Botox is botulinum toxin type A, which helps relax specific muscles. Dr. Rever uses Botox to give the skin a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful look.
Botox can treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles on the face
- Deep brow furrows
- Frown lines and laugh lines around the mouth
- Crow’s feet
- Lip shape and fullness
Juvederm® in Silver Spring
Juvederm is a popular dermal filler that Dr. Rever uses to restore fullness to lips and smooth deep wrinkles around the nose and mouth. This filler contains hyaluronic acid (HA), which naturally decreases with age. Replacing HA with Juvederm helps bring back skin volume and provides a hydrated, healthy glow.
Since the FDA approved Juvederm in 2006, it has become a trusted choice for filling smile lines and adding volume to lips. With its family of fillers, Juvederm can treat different areas of the face, and results can last several months. Dr. Rever can provide touch-ups during your regular dental visits to maintain your look.
