Facial Aesthetics

As we age, our youthful appearance becomes the target of two types of wrinkles—dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles are formed by muscle contractions and commonly form between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. Static wrinkles, meanwhile, can be caused by sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and poor diet. These often occur around the nose and extend to the corners of the mouth.

But not to worry! Wrinkles may be a part of aging, but younger looking skin is possible. Regardless of which kind you have, Dr. McMillon can help you erase your lines and wrinkles, taking years off your appearance

Smoothing Dynamic Wrinkles with Botox from Barotz Dental

Botox is one of the most popular wrinkle treatments among both women and men. Derived from a purified protein, it works by preventing motor nerve endings in targeted facial muscles from contracting, resulting in more youthful skin in as little as 3 to 10 days.

How long your treatment lasts after that can depend on a variety of factors, including:

  • How much Botox was used
  • Metabolic activity
  • Lifestyle choices

Overall, though, Botox treatment from Dr. Barotz’s Denver office can be expected to last between three and four months.  When your wrinkles start coming back, then you know it’s time to come in for your next treatment with us.

Dr. McMillon Makes Static Wrinkles Vanish with Juvederm

While Botox is derived from a purified protein and works by preventing muscle contractions, Juvederm is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring, hydrophilic substance. It works by actually filling wrinkles, adding volume and pliability where both were previously missing.

Length of treatment will depend on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re using Juvederm to enhance your lips, you can expect treatment to last for six to nine months. On the other hand, if you’re using it to volumize the grooves around your nose and mouth, you can expect treatment to last as long as a full year.

Because hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, it will eventually be broken down by your body’s metabolism, but staying hydrated can help you get the most out of your treatment. When you notice your wrinkles returning, you’ll know it’s time to schedule your next appointment with us.

Why Should I See Dr. McMillon For Botox or Juvederm Treatment

If you’re seeking treatment for dynamic or static wrinkles, a lot of places can help you. Plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and others are all qualified to administer Botox and Juvederm shots. But with her extensive knowledge of facial muscles and with anesthetic injections, Dr. McMillon has the clinical skills to deliver exactly what you’re looking for.
