Enter any store and you’ll see the skin care aisle is packed top to bottom with topical treatments like rejuvenating masks, anti-aging serums, and overnight creams. While many of these over-the-counter products are useful for reducing the signs of aging, they can only go so far. That’s because our skin begins to slow down collagen production as we get older, which leads to sagging and an overall loss of elasticity. While facelifts, eyelid rejuvenation, and neck contouring procedures can successfully minimize the effects of aging, many people are looking for an alternative to plastic surgery. That’s where Dermatology Realm can help!
Safe, effective, non-invasive options for rejuvenation
Plastic surgery isn’t for everyone, but fortunately, there are a number of nonsurgical options to choose from that can help you turn back the hands of time by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more even skin tone, and improving the appearance of scars and blemishes. At Dermatology Realm, we offer injectable treatments that are non-invasive and require minimal downtime, sparing your body the stress of recovering from a surgical procedure while still taking years off your face!
If you’re unhappy with the look of your skin as it ages, our expert team has the skill, knowledge, and expertise to deliver superior results you’ll love. We can treat a variety of areas, including your mouth, nose, cheeks, hands, and more using high-quality fillers like
- Juvederm Volbella
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC
Juvederm Voluma
Each of these fillers has unique properties and durations, and we’ll customize a treatment plan based on your unique needs. Our Botox®, Dysport, and Juvéderm products are always injected by Dr. Baker and his medical assistants Alexis and Bridgett for the safest, most effective outcome.
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation often involves combining treatments, including injectable fillers to restore volume and soften wrinkles with chemical peels or laser therapy for skin resurfacing. When you schedule a consultation with our Germantown office, we’ll be able to advise you on the treatment option we feel will be most beneficial to you, as well as the results and recovery you can expect.
Our injectable procedures
Botox/Dysport
Dr. Baker and his team offer two types of injectable toxin, Botox and Dysport. The injections are non-invasive and almost entirely pain-free. Our injectors use extremely thin needles to administer the injections, and while there may be a small amount of discomfort initially, they shouldn’t cause any irritation or inflammation. For patients who are anxious about the procedure, we have a topical numbing cream we can apply to the area before administering treatment.
The procedure itself is quick, and is usually completed within ten to fifteen minutes. This makes it convenient for patients with busy schedules, since regular daily routines can be resumed almost immediately afterwards!
Toxins have several uses. It can be used to soften or eliminate frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead creases, and lines around the mouth. It can also be used to elevate or lift the brow, soften the chin, shape the brow, and improve the appearance of old or new facial scars. When used in the neck and chest region, toxins can often minimize creases, wrinkling, and “turkey neck.”
The benefits of toxins can extend beyond cosmetic appearances, as well! While the injections are generally used to smooth the skin and reduce lines and wrinkles, toxins have also been FDA-approved for a number of other medical conditions. These include migraines and severe underarm and palm sweating that hasn’t responded to topical agents.
Juvéderm
Like Botox, there are several different products included in the Juvéderm family. Each one uses specific concentrations of hyaluronic acid to target different areas of the face. This adds volume to the facial tissue by stimulating the production of collagen, which naturally plumps the skin. The fillers have a smooth, gel-like consistency, and each type is aimed at treating a specific problem area.
Juvéderm Voluma XC adds volume beneath the surface of the skin to increase the size of the cheeks
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC fill out wrinkles and lines around the nose and mouth
Juvéderm Ultra XC and Juvéderm Volbella XC work as nonsurgical lip enhancement treatments.
After injecting Juvéderm, we will lightly massage the treatment area to ensure even distribution and reduce the chance of swelling. The procedure will normally take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The injections themselves contain a small amount of pain-reducing lidocaine to help minimize any pain or discomfort. Recovery time is minimal, and most patients will see results immediately.
