At Northland Dental Medicine in Pittsburgh, PA, we do more than take care of teeth. Our practice also helps patients feel truly confident with their smiles by providing facial rejuvenation procedures with JUVÉDERM® and BOTOX® Cosmetic dermal fillers.
JUVÉDERM® and BOTOX® are medications used in facial aesthetics to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles and frown lines. JUVÉDERM® does this by filling in the lines and smoothing away the wrinkles that reside around your mouth and nose, while BOTOX® reduces wrinkles by reducing activity in the muscles that can cause them over time.
Used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas, JUVÉDERM® decreases the appearance of wrinkles and restores youthful contours. Able to remove up to two years off of patients 21 years and older, JUVÉDERM® uses hyaluronic acid, a hydrating substance that occurs naturally in healthy skin. Hyaluronic acid decreases naturally as you age and are exposed to sunlight and other factors. As it decreases, your skin begins to lose structure and volume, which creates facial wrinkles and folds, like those made around your nose and mouth.
The active ingredient in BOTOX® is botulinum toxin type A, which acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. If the muscles’ contractions are minimized, then frown lines can be temporarily reduced. The FDA-approved treatment can be used on patients between 18 and 65 years old and has effects that last for several months. It is most commonly used to treat crow’s feet and wrinkles on the nose, between the eyes, on the forehead and on the chin.
