Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered what happened? You just don’t look like you did once. The wrinkles are deeper, your lips are thinner and you feel as though you’ve lost the luster of youth. Well, a lot of these changes are not just happening to you. Many of these changes happen as a natural part of the aging process.

As we get older, our skin gets thinner and the fatty tissue that supports our cheeks and gives our face shape reduces the natural support we once had. This essentially leads to skin that sags a bit more. The wrinkles become deeper and the shadows are more pronounced. Though all of these changes sound challenging to overcome, some great advances in cosmetic dermatology have occurred that can create a more youthful look in a short period of time.

Filler substances are products which can be injected into the skin and provided near immediate improvement in how vibrant and youthful you look. These products can rapidly reduce wrinkles around the lips, reduce the shadows at the corners of the mouth, which makes people look more sad or angry, and provide fuller and more youthful cheeks. You can see the product effects of fillers before you leave the office!

Today's blog post focuses on answering the question "Are Botox and Dysport safe to remove my wrinkles?"

Botox and Dysport injected by Dr. Roger Moore at DermacenterMD might be an excellent choice to reduce your wrinkles.

These are two products used for turning back the clock, so to speak, on the signs of aging.  Each product is a protein, botulinum toxin A, which reduces the activity of the muscles in the area it is injected into.  Both products have been around many years with excellent safety records when used by trained professionals. Over 2 million injections per year are reported in the United States. The cosmetic usage has been mostly for the face where Botox and Dysport can improve the aging features by reducing the appearance of wrinkles.  

Each product is FDA approved for the temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age. The improvement in wrinkles is typically noted for 3 to 4 months and after this, the muscle function returns to normal.  It is the temporary effect which many people appreciate as they like the fact they are not doing anything permanent or too dramatic. With discussion of injectable agents, most people have concern about the discomfort.  Interestingly, by using one of the smaller needles, which is made for injection and advanced techniques of injection by Dr. Roger Moore, the Botox and Dysport at DermacenterMD is frequently rated as having minimal discomfort.  

When people want to appear younger, let others see them in more happy state (by removing frown /scowl lines), or simply want to look better Dr. Moore’s Dysport or Botox is worth a try. In addition, many people choose a board certified dermatologist like Dr. Moore since no other area of medicine is more highly trained in the skin. Dr. Moore’s pleasant demeanor, professionalism and the fact he performs his own injections, makes him top choice for many cosmetic clients in Elkhart, Granger, South Bend and the surrounding areas.
