Early Signs of Rosacea You Shouldn’t Ignore
Rosacea, which affects at least 5% of the global population, is a chronic and progressive condition that can very much benefit from timely action. Here’s a look at some early warning signs.
Look Your Very Best This Holiday Season With These Injectables
While it might seem like we’ve only just come out of summer, the holidays are approaching fast, and this year you want to look your very best.
The good news is that all you need to do is carve out about an hour in your busy day to come see us for a quick round of cosmetic injectables that will allow you to put your best face forward this year.
These injectables are so good at what they do that it’s little surprise that there were nearly 20 million cosmetic injectable treatments in 2024 in the United States.
At Los Gatos Dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Bruce Saal and our team have researched the available options in antiaging treatments, and we’ve selected a key list of industry-leading cosmetic injectables. Let's take a look.
Relaxing those lines on the top half of your face
Let's start at the top of your face and review some of the solutions we have for those lines and wrinkles forming around your forehead and eyes, including:
- Deep forehead lines
- Brow or frown lines
- Crow’s feet
To relax the muscles that contract to form these dynamic wrinkles, we turn to neurotoxins, including Botox®, Dyport®, and Xeomin®.
These injectables are excellent for smoothing out the lines when your face is at rest, and they reduce the severity of wrinkles when you do make an expression.
The end result is that when you smile or furrow your brow, you can make a natural-looking expression that fades when your expression fades, leaving behind a smoother, more youthful resting face.
Moving down to the lower half of your face
To complement the good work the neurotoxins do around and above your eyes, we turn to dermal fillers, which are excellent for many different objectives, including:
- Filling in deep nasolabial folds
- Smoothing out bumpy chins and uneven under-eye areas
- Reducing marionette lines on either side of your chin
- Reducing vertical lines around your lips
- Plumping thin lips
- Accentuating cheek areas
- Lifting sagging skin around your jowls
As their name implies, dermal fillers work by filling in and smoothing out lines and wrinkles, using either hyaluronic acid (HA) or collagen-stimulating ingredients. They can also replace lost volume in an aging face due to fat migration and tissue thinning.
Our suite of dermal fillers includes:
- Juvéderm®
- Restylane®
- Sculptra®
- Radiesse®
Moving even lower, if you have taut vertical cords in your neck that you’d like to relax, we go back to neurotoxins and Botox to do the job.
The amazing benefits of injectables
From your forehead down to your neck, we can garner incredible results with our suite of cosmetic injectables and help you look years younger this holiday season.
Not only are these treatments minimally invasive, results come in quickly. In fact, results after our HA fillers are immediate, and neurotoxins generally take 4-7 days to do their magic. So if you come in now, we can have you looking your very best through these holidays and into the new year.
To schedule your injectable visit in time for the holidays, please contact our office in Los Gatos, California, today.
