Dermatology & Aesthetics

During Botox injections and dermal filler treatments, you can expect minimal discomfort – these are quick procedures usually completed within minutes. Microneedling sessions typically take about 30 minutes, with a numbing cream applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. The number of sessions and specific process will vary based on the treatment and your individual needs.

These treatments are performed to enhance facial aesthetics by reducing the signs of aging, improving skin texture, and enhancing facial contours. Botox temporarily reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles, dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth out lines, and microneedling rejuvenates the skin by reducing scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture. These aesthetic treatments offer various options for facial rejuvenation and skin improvement, each tailored to specific concerns and desired outcomes.

Dermatology & aesthetic treatments like dermal fillers, Botox injections, and microneedling are innovative aesthetic services designed to enhance one’s appearance. Botox involves injecting a substance into muscles to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles, enhance contours, and restore volume. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production for skin rejuvenation. Aesthetic treatments like microneedling, dermal fillers, and Botox are popular for enhancing appearance and addressing skin concerns. Each has its specific purpose, preparation steps, expectations, follow-up, costs, risks, and related procedures.

The recovery process is generally swift with minimal downtime. For Botox and fillers, some swelling or bruising might occur but typically subsides quickly. Microneedling may result in temporary redness and sensitivity. Follow-up appointments can be made for any necessary adjustments.

When administered by skilled professionals, dermal fillers are very safe. We only use FDA-approved materials, ensuring the absolute highest standards of quality and safety – and our experts are thoroughly trained and masterfully skilled.

The follow-up visit allows our team to assess the effects of the initial injection and adjust for symmetry, if needed. The team will answer questions, determine if any areas need more attention and ensure you are satisfied with the results. You can skip this touch-up if you’d like, but it is included in the price and highly recommended.

Dermal fillers are often used to enhance the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the lips, cheeks, chin – and even the jawline.

When administered by skilled professionals, Botox injections are very safe. Our experts are thoroughly trained to ensure safety and satisfaction.

While generally safe when performed by the qualified professionals at ClearMD, there are potential risks. Botox may cause side effects like bruising or drooping in the injected area, dermal fillers carry risks like allergic reactions, and microneedling can cause skin irritation.

While individual results may vary, usually the effects last between 3 and 4 months.

Microneedling is the process of using small needles to create tiny micro-punctures in the skin, which stimulates collagen production and promotes the skin’s overall rejuvenation.

Microneedling is used to treat acne, scarring, wrinkles and other fine lines, uneven skin texture and even those pesky stretch marks – so you’re smooth as a baby’s bottom.

When injected into muscles, Botox temporarily improves the appearance of wrinkles and skin lines. It works by blocking the nerve signals in those muscles - by making the muscles inactive, the overlying skin is relaxed and the appearance of wrinkles is less prominent, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.

A dermal filler is a gel-like substance that is injected beneath the skin. It is used to enhance contours, smooth out wrinkles and skin lines, and to restore volume that is naturally lost with time.

Other related procedures include laser treatments for skin rejuvenation, chemical peels for skin resurfacing, and various non-surgical facial contouring techniques. These procedures also aim to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and enhance facial aesthetics.

Costs vary depending on the type of treatment and the extent of the procedure. For instance, Botox is priced at $18 per unit, and dermal fillers are priced per syringe. Microneedling has a set cost per session.

It can sting a little – buts it’s worth it. We apply a numbing cream to the skin beforehand to minimize the discomfort, so most people tolerate the procedure well.

Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last from 6 months to 2 years.

Each session takes about 30 minutes. We usually recommend 3-6 sessions (with a few weeks in between), but it depends on your specific goals and the condition of your skin.

Preparation for these treatments typically involves consulting with your provider to discuss your goals and any potential risks – they will explain everything you need to know. It’s important to disclose any medical conditions or medications to ensure safe and effective treatment.
