The Future of Restylane: Say Goodbye to Needles!

Restylane is one of the biggest names in the cosmetic industry when it comes to dermal fillers and lip augmentation. You have probably heard of one or both of the Restylane variants which are Restylane Lyft and Restylane Silk.

Restylane Lyft Vs Restylane Silk

Although they are both Restylane and both fillers, Restylane Lyft and Restylane Silk are two very different products. They are both made from the same component which is hyaluronic acid, but both of them were formulated for two different objectives. Restylane Lyft, for instance, was made to address gaps in the skin such as loss of volume, skin folds, and deep wrinkles. These gaps happen due to aging, but filling it with Restylane Lyft will give one’s face a fresh start with renewed volume, less sagging, and significantly less wrinkles.

Restylane Silk, on the other hand, is formulated specifically for lip augmentation. Fancy plump lips like Angelina Jolie’s or Megan Fox’s? Unfortunately for a lot of us, only a few are born with lips like a goddess, but because of Restylane Silk, those plump puckers are not impossible to achieve anymore. We all have a chance to get those lips worthy of a pin-up model.

From Needle to Tube

Before, in order to achieve these lippies, Restylane Silk was injected using a good ol’ needle. While the needle does the trick, its sharp tip can sometimes cause damage to blood vessels, and can therefore lead to bruising and swelling.

Hence, an update has been done on the process. Instead of using a needle, Restylane Silk can also now be applied using a cannula.

What is a cannula, you ask? A cannula is a small tube with a blunt tip. It’s also the same thing used in liposuctions to suck out the fat. This time though, it’s going to be used the other way around – to put more volume in. Because of the blunt tip, it can cause less damage as compared with the needle, and therefore, less inflammation.

Another major advantage is that the results are said to look more natural as compared with the needle-applied treatment. If compared with other dermal filler treatments, lip augmentation is actually more challenging since the mouth, more specifically the lips, is more exposed to a lot of physical movement brought about by eating, talking, and other mouth-related physical activities, so to speak.

What Happens Now?

For fans of the needle, there is no need to fret. The needle is still the primary tool when it comes to lip augmentation, but cannula is also a viable option now for those who wish to thread that route. Just be sure to discuss the different options with your plastic surgeon in order to explore all the possibilities and get the type of treatment best for you.  Remember that each of us have different goals and needs, so it is always best to have a thorough check-up before any procedure, which will also serve as the perfect time to ask all your questions and address all your concerns before getting your dream lips.

BHRT 101: The Benefits and Risk of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy also known as BHRT, truly is a thing of the future. Sounds like it too. And though it may sound a bit scientific and complicated, it’s actually a simple concept.

As we age, certain components in our body slow down production. Collagen, for instance, which is in charge of the skin’s elasticity, is released less and less as the body focuses on the upkeep of other, more important components and parts. This consequently, result to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of the skin.

Image from https://www.sciencenews.org/article/year-review-not-all-bodies-act-their-age

The same goes with hormones. Remember puberty when the body struggled with raging hormones and hormonal imbalance? The same thing happens to a woman’s body again when they reach the age of menopause. This time though, the problem is hormones getting produced less, which leads to a myriad of health-related issues like fatigue, vaginal dryness, and even thinning bones.

So how does one conquer this inevitable aging process?

The answer is quite simple: get more hormones! In this way, hormones are increased and balanced, and the consequences are reversed. Symptoms like vaginal dryness, hot flushes, and difficulty in sleeping are reversed. You will feel youthful again!

The next predicament now would be where to get these needed hormones. That is where BHRT or Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy comes in. Since the natural production of hormones in the body is at a decline, the solution is to get “bioidentical” ones – hormones that are chemically identical to the ones produced in the body.

Here are the benefits.

Aside from those that have been mentioned already, here are other issues that women in the menopausal age might encounter:

•       Loss of hair
•       Lower sexual appetite
•       Muscle weakness
•       Mood instability

…And so much more! But thanks to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, all of these consequences brought about by aging could be turned around.

But what are the risks?

There are a lot of people who are wary with this new therapy though, and they are certainly not without merit. Any new technology, after all, has not been aptly tested and researched yet. With this, some experts are worried that there are side effects to this that we are still not aware of.

Image from https://www.shecares.com/hormones/medical-treatments/bioidentical/articles/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-bioidentical-hormones

Regardless, a lot of women across the country are now catching up and are enjoying the benefits of this treatment.

Are there any other options to increase and balance hormones the natural way?

Of course there are! There are other ways to significantly improve the symptoms of menopause other than BHRT. Traditional Chinese medicine, for one, and Ayurvedic medicine, have herbal practices which have been used for hundreds of years which help the woman’s body adjust to changes brought about by hormonal decrease and imbalance. A healthy lifestyle change can also do the trick: exercising regularly, a good diet, and proper stress management can not only help ease the symptoms of menopause but also improve the quality of life.

Remember that aging is part of the natural process of the body. No one can stop it from happening. However, it is still entirely up to you which path to take on how to tackle the different changes brought about by it. Stay healthy!

The Latest Lip Filler: The Botox Lip Flip!

We have those big-lipped actresses from Hollywood to thank for the lip filler hype these days. Everyone just needs to get those juicy plump lips, and we only have ourselves to thank for the surge of demand for lip fillers.

For those who want to catch up on the trend, here is a couple of basic info you need to know. The lip filler procedure also known as lip augmentation is commonly done using hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Minus the scientific jargon, here are a few of the household names when it comes to filler brands: Juvederm, Vollure, Restylane, honestly, there are already a lot of choices out there, I can write an entire article by just enumerating them. But we are not going to focus on the old brands. Today we are going to talk about something new. The latest in the lip-filling business. The Botox Lip Flip.

It has just been recently discovered that the wrinkle wonder, Botox injections can also be used to slightly contour or reshape the lips in order to come up with that perfect pouty look. It can be used either by itself or in combination with other fillers, according to the patient’s specific needs.

So how does Botox work for lip augmentation?

What Botox generally does is flip out the lip line, allowing the lip to plump outward and give that naturally poutier look. Just keep in mind that Botox and your regular fillers don’t really work the same way, hence, they provide two different results.

 The fillers add volume to the lips, which in turn, literally makes it bigger. Botox on the other hand, simply relaxes the muscles about the mouth (these muscles are called “orbicularis oris”), and this allows the lips to roll or flip outward hence the term, “lip flip”, making it look poutier without the literally added volume.

 The Side-Effect of Botox Lip Flipping That Everyone Should Know

The Botox Lip Flip might sound simple, but don’t be mistaken, the procedure itself is very complicated. The Botox only needs to be injected in the target layers of the muscle in the right dosage to get the pouty look without disabling the function of the muscle. Which means what, exactly?

Well, if the procedure is not done correctly, it might mean no more eating and drinking for you for the next few months. If the doctor gets the dosage low, the pouty effect would not last long enough. If the doctor gets the dosage too high, you get the idea. This is the reason why this procedure should only be administered by board-certified professionals.

When done right, the treatment, Botox Lip Flip, only requires around 10 units of Botox (sometimes, even less), and the effect lasts for up to four months. The pain is only minimal, and described as a small stinging sensation due to the injection. Finally, the cost varies from clinic to clinic.

So, having known what is possibly in store, would you want to give the Botox Lip Flip a try?

How Much Does Medical Botox Price Will Cost?

If you are planning to have a facial enhancement by Botox injections, you should take consider of the Botox price and how many sessions you need. Most health insurance plans do not cover other medical injections and therefore, here are the only medical Botox that might be included:

Eyelid muscle spasms

Crooked Eyes

Chronic Migraine

Excessive underarm sweating

 Upper limb spasticity

Overactive bladder

Minimum Cosmetic Botox Price

Mostly the minimum cosmetic Botox price can cost you up to $370 for every session but Botox price can vary based on the Botox injection or surgery you need for your face and body.

Clients should not expect that the Botox Price to each and every skin care clinic that can be found in Los Angeles and Ventura County is just the same since there costs variations that have been implemented to each clinic such as:

·         Clinic’s location

·         The reputation of the skin care clinic as well as the state-of-the-art facilities they use

·         Number of vials used during session of Botox injections

·         Doctor and Surgeon’s fee

When Will I See The Results of Botox Injection or Treatment?

Most doctors advised their patients that they can see the improvements or effects of the treatment as fast as less than a week but then there are Botox injections that can take up to two to three months before you can finally see the improvements to your skin and body.

It is vital for the part of each and every patient to choose a reliable Botox provider in Los Angeles and Ventura County since the treatment would be based on the botulinum toxin and only the qualified and expert doctors and surgeons can perform the task.
