As the temperature drops and the air turns crisp, it’s time to think about refreshing your skin for the new season. Winter is the perfect opportunity for skin rejuvenation, especially in Fort Myers, where the cooler weather may be a welcome change. Let’s explore how Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus can help you achieve a radiant, youthful appearance this winter.

The Winter Skin Care Revolution

Winter skincare is crucial for maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion. As we transition from the warmer months, our skin often needs extra attention. The cooler weather can lead to dryness and dullness, making it the ideal time to consider treatments that can restore moisture and vitality to your skin.

Introducing Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are advanced dermal fillers designed to address various signs of aging. These innovative products are part of the injectables family, offering a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation. What sets Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus apart? Long-lasting results, natural-looking volume enhancement, smooth consistency for easy injection, and minimal downtime.

Combating the Effects of Age and Sun Exposure

Living in Fort Myers means enjoying beautiful sunshine year-round. However, prolonged sun exposure can accelerate skin aging. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus can help counteract these effects by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, restoring lost facial volume, enhancing facial contours, and improving skin hydration.

When you choose Juvederm Ultra for your skin rejuvenation needs, you’re opting for a quick and effective treatment. The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes, making it perfect for busy individuals looking to refresh their appearance without significant downtime. The process involves a consultation with Dr. Lorraine Golosow, setting your customized treatment plan, gentle injection of the filler and, immediate visible results

Safety and Effectiveness

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus have an excellent safety profile. They’re made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body, which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions. The effectiveness of these fillers in addressing common skin concerns has been well-documented through numerous clinical studies.

Fort Myers’ unique climate can pose challenges for skin health. The combination of sun, humidity, and occasional dry spells can lead to premature aging.

Enjoy your summer with glowing, wrinkle-free skin with Dysport! With this innovative botulinum injectable and Dr. Golosow’s expertise, you can erase fine lines and wrinkles and be back to embracing everything summer has to offer. But what exactly is Dysport? Let’s take a closer look at this neuromodulator!

What is Dysport?

Dysport is well-known amongst plastic surgery professionals for its excellent results. It works by reducing the activity of specific facial muscles responsible for the formation of lines and wrinkles, including frown lines. Approved by the FDA in 2009, Dysport has proven to be both safe and effective.

How Does Dysport Work?

Dysport primarily consists of botulinum toxin type A (like Botox) and works by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscles, causing a decrease in muscle activities and a reduction in wrinkle formation. With only a few injections, treatment typically doesn’t take more than 20-30 minutes.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dysport?

Most patients who come into our Fort Myers, FL office are good candidates for Dysport injections. That said, we look for a few specifics to determine if a patient is an ideal candidate: They include:

• Being in good overall health
• No pregnant or breastfeeding
• Struggling with frown lines or glabellar lines
• Over 18 years of age
• Nonsmokers

Benefits of Dysport

While there are several benefits to undergoing a Dysport treatment, the most noticeable is a smoother, younger-looking complexion. The procedure is also quick, virtually painless, and requires little to no downtime. Additionally, the results are usually visible in just a few days.

Dysport Procedure

The Dysport procedure is incredibly simple, and most patients tolerate it very well. We’ll start by cleaning the treatment area and applying a topical numbing cream for your comfort. From there, Dr. Golosow will inject the Dysport solution into specific treatment areas. Once all the injections have been made, you can go back to your normal routine immediately.

You may see some redness, bruising, or mild swelling, but those side effects will subside over the next few days.

Why Dysport is Your Go-To Summer Wrinkle Treatment

In the warm summer months, less is more, especially when it comes to makeup. Dysport can help you achieve a smooth, radiant glow that requires minimal makeup. Plus, Dysport results can last up to four months, ensuring you keep that fresh, youthful look all summer long.

Among the earliest signs of facial aging are dynamic creases just at the outer corners of the eyes. These are quickly followed by frown lines and forehead lines. If you’re a smoker, you may even develop peri-oral wrinkles or tiny creases that radiate outwards from your mouth. The good news is that much like sun spots, enlarged pores, dark spots, and melasma, there are easy, effective, and entirely non-invasive solutions. Currently ranked among the most popular of these are Dysport and Botox:

Botox and Dysport: Popular Injectables for Arresting Dynamic Wrinkling

Dynamic or movement-related wrinkling develops in facial areas that experience, repetitive movements. Crow’s feet are a strong indication of lots of laughter and smiling throughout the years. Both brow lines that travel horizontally across the forehead and frown lines that run vertically above the nose suggest frequent expressions of worry, frustration, anger, and pain.

Unlike static wrinkles or creases that are visible all of the time, dynamic wrinkles only appear when the muscles responsible for their development are engaged. Dysport and Botox are FDA-approved neurotoxins that can temporarily immobilize targeted muscles. Once they’re injected into treatment areas, dynamic wrinkles are released and the surface skin remains smooth even when the patient is laughing, smiling, or frowning.

Differences in Composition

Derived from a purified version of the botulinum toxin, Botox and Dysport differ in their composition due to the addition of different proteins. Dysport has a protein that allows it to diffuse further than Botox. In some instances, this allows for fewer injections and the treatment of more pronounced or stubborn creases.

Another key difference between Botox and Dysport lies in their flexibility. For cosmetic purposes, Dysport has only received FDA approval for the treatment of glabellar lines or frown lines. This wide-diffusing formula is a go-to for people with deep vertical lines that manifest every time they’re lost in thought, frustrated, or distressed.

Botox Is FDA-Approved to Treat Dynamic Wrinkles Across Multiple Facial Areas

Comparatively, Botox is FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines, crow’s feet, forehead creases, and smoker’s wrinkles (peri-oral wrinkles) around the lips. If you develop deep creases around your mouth whenever you use a straw or purse your lips, Botox can make your pout more supple and youthful-looking by erasing your dynamic wrinkles. When skillfully applied and used sparingly, Botox can create remarkable and entirely natural-looking improvements across the entire visage.

Flexibility, Duration, Treatment Times, and Recovery

Despite their differences in flexibility, these two popular injectables remain quite the same in regard to treatment times, duration, and recovery. Both procedures typically last between 20 and 30 minutes depending upon the size of the targeted area and other factors.

For most patients, downtime during recovery lasts between just two and 18 hours. Many people experience slight reddening, bruising, or swelling across the treatment area, and some patients may experience slight fatigue or faint headaches. All of these reactions are normal and will gradually abate on their own.

You might get differing opinions on how long each of these products lasts. Although wider-diffusing, Dysport is not longer-lasting. The effects of these injectables last between three and four months. However, the results of Dysport manifest faster than Botox results. You’ll see Dysport’s full range of aesthetic improvements within just one to three days. With Botox, you might have to wait as long as five to seven days.

Is Botox or Dysport the Right Choice for You?

Dysport is an excellent choice for releasing glabellar lines at the brow. If you have dynamic wrinkles in other facial areas, Botox is the only injectable of the two that’s FDA-approved to treat them. You can find out which injectable is right for you by contacting Lorraine Golosow, MD.
