Injectables & Fillers
The doctors affiliated with MAXiM offer a number of non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures to reduce wrinkles, frown lines, and other anomalies on the skin.
Botox Cosmetic
Botox® Cosmetic Is a quick non-surgical treatment used to temporarily relax the muscles under the skin that cause facial wrinkles, especially frown lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead, and radial lines ("crow‘s feet") around the eyes.
Overactive facial muscles cause lines between the brows, across the forehead, and around the eyes. As elasticity decreases in the skin over time, those lines remain. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses, which temporarily relaxes the muscles and reduces muscle movements that cause wrinkles. You receive a few tiny injections, and within days there’s a noticeable improvement.
Botox wrinkle treatment can help you look younger and more relaxed without surgery. It requires no recovery time and little discomfort.
Most patients do not need anesthesia, although a topical anesthetic can be applied, if desired. The wrinkle-reducing effects of Botox injections are not permanent. Although results vary, they typically last for four to six months, and can be repeated as necessary.
Dermal Fillers
A dermal filler is a natural or manmade substance that is injected into the skin to replace loss of volume due to aging, enhance facial features, or reduce wrinkles and skin creases. They can also be used to sculpt beautiful full cheeks or luscious lips. Correcting deformities due to birth defects or accidents is also possible.
The fillers are temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent depending upon the substance used. The fillers are used to fill in any wrinkles, creases, or depressions in the face and hands. They can also be used to enhance certain types of nasal deformities.
Juvederm®
Juvederm® products are composed of a long-lasting gel that, once injected in the skin, literally adds volume to the areas being treated. Similar to one of the body’s own natural substances (hyaluronic acid), Juvederm injections are safe and lasts about one year. FDA-approved for the nasolabial folds, Juvederm is an excellent treatment option for deep folds, lip enhancement, facial lines, shaping facial contours, and correcting thin lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
The injection process only takes minutes, and most patients do not need anesthesia, although a topical anesthetic can be applied, if desired. The wrinkle-reducing effects of Juvederm injections are not permanent, but results are instant and typically last 6 to 12 months or longer. Injections can be repeated as necessary.
Restylane®
The Restylane® family of products includes safe, natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin. They are used to correct moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds.
Made from a water-soluble substance called hyaluronic acid, which is already present in your skin, Restylane restores volume to your skin. Restylane wrinkle treatment can help you look younger and more relaxed without surgery. Restylane is also used for lip enhancement.
The injection process only takes minutes, and most patients do not need anesthesia, although a topical anesthetic can be applied, if desired. The wrinkle-reducing effects of Restylane injections are not permanent, but results are instant and they typically last between 6 and 12 months. Injections may be repeated as necessary.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a semi-permanent dermal filler that offers an ideal choice for total facial contouring and loss of volume in the hands. Radiesse is made from a biocompatible substance that is identical to what’s naturally found in the body, so there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction.
Radiesse works with your body, below the skin’s surface. Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body.
Radiesse does more than just temporarily fill in facial folds and wrinkles; it rebuilds your skin’s foundation and restores your youthful look, without the risks associated with a permanent implant. You‘ll see the results right away, and these results may last up to a year or more. Additional injections may be required to maintain the effect of Radiesse over time.
