Dermal fillers and neuromodulators can be good ways to address the visible effects of aging. Used independently, they can target specific concerns, such as volume loss or dynamic wrinkles. While effective by themselves, they can also be used together for even more comprehensive results. At Reno Sparks MedSpa in Reno, NV, we use cosmetic injectables like Botox® and JUVÉDERM® to treat signs of aging quickly and effectively, and their flexibility makes it even easier for us to develop treatment plans that match each of our patients and their concerns.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume beneath the skin’s surface. They are typically made from biocompatible substances such as hyaluronic acid that integrate smoothly with your skin. By providing structure and support, fillers help restore a more youthful appearance in areas that naturally lose volume over time. These treatments are versatile and administered with precision to enhance facial features and smooth out unwanted changes caused by aging.
What Do Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers address some of the most noticeable effects of aging, such as static wrinkles, volume loss, and diminished facial contours. Static wrinkles are lines and folds that appear even when your face is at rest, often caused by the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Additionally, as volume decreases over time, certain areas of the face may appear sunken or less defined. Fillers can replenish this lost volume, enhancing your natural structure and improving overall balance.
- Nasolabial Fold Correction: Face injectables can soften the appearance of nasolabial folds, the lines that extend from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. These folds become more pronounced with age as volume is lost around the midface, but fillers can smooth and lift the area for a refreshed, natural look.
- Jawline Contouring: With the help of injectables, the jawline can be refined and reshaped to achieve a more defined and structured appearance. This is particularly beneficial for individuals noticing sagging or a less pronounced jawline due to aging or genetics.
- Lip Augmentation: Fillers are often used to enhance the lips by adding volume, improving shape, and addressing asymmetry. Whether you’re looking for subtle definition or fuller lips, this treatment offers customizable options to fit your preferences.
- Cheek Contouring: Anti-aging injections can restore volume to the cheeks, creating a more lifted and youthful appearance. This treatment helps redefine facial contours that may have softened over time.
Our Dermal Filler Options
We offer the JUVÉDERM family of fillers to address facial rejuvenation needs. Each product is formulated with hyaluronic acid to provide long-lasting, natural-looking results. This line of products includes injectables with varying thickness and cohesivity, designed to address specific areas of the face and achieve different treatment goals.
- JUVÉDERM VOLUMA®: Designed for midface enhancement, VOLUMA adds volume to the cheeks and lifts the midface area. Its thicker formulation provides structure and support.
- JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA®: VOLBELLA is made for subtle lip enhancement and smoothing fine lines around the mouth. Its lightweight consistency allows for precise definition while maintaining a soft, natural look.
- JUVÉDERM VOLLURE®: This filler is perfect for softening moderate to severe wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. Its balance of flexibility and durability allows for smooth results that move naturally with facial expressions.
- JUVÉDERM ULTRA: ULTRA is a versatile option for plumping lips or addressing mild volume loss in various areas of the face. Its smooth texture delivers noticeable yet natural-looking enhancements.
- JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS: For more dramatic results, ULTRA PLUS offers a thicker consistency to tackle deeper wrinkles and more significant volume loss. It’s well-suited for areas needing additional lift and support during facial rejuvenation treatments.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators work by relaxing certain muscles beneath the skin. By interrupting the signals that cause muscles to contract, these treatments help reduce unwanted movement that contributes to certain signs of aging. Neuromodulators are commonly used to address dynamic wrinkles which are formed through expressions like smiling or raising the eyebrows.
What Do Neuromodulators Treat?
- Crow’s Feet: Often one of the first signs of aging, crow’s feet are the fine lines that form at the corners of your eyes due to repeated squinting and smiling. This area is commonly treated with neuromodulators to keep the area around the eyes smooth even while smiling.
- Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines across the forehead are caused by raising your eyebrows over time. Neuromodulators soften these lines by relaxing the muscles on the forehead and preventing the skin from folding.
- Glabella Lines: Cosmetic injectables can be used to treat the “11s,” or the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows that can be prominent because of frequent furrowing.
- Bunny Lines: Bunny lines form on the sides of the nose when you scrunch it, often while smiling or laughing. Neuromodulators can relax these specific muscles and smooth out the area without affecting your natural expressions.
- Lip Augmentation: Neuromodulators are sometimes used around the lips to create a subtle enhancement, such as lifting the corners of the mouth or softening a gummy smile. This treatment doesn’t add volume but creates the appearance of it by relaxing specific muscles near the mouth.
- Chin Wrinkles: Over time, dimpling or creasing in the chin can occur due to overactive muscles in the area. Neuromodulators help smooth out these irregularities.
Our Neuromodulator Options
We offer Botox as our preferred option for neuromodulators because of its precision, versatility, and proven results. Botox has been extensively studied and is FDA-approved for treating dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Its formulation allows for precise targeting of overactive muscles, reducing unwanted movements without compromising natural expressions. With decades of clinical use and a strong safety profile, Botox remains a reliable choice for achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
What Are the Benefits of Combining Dermal Fillers and Neuromodulators?
Achieve Upper and Lower Facial Rejuvenation
By combining dermal fillers and neuromodulators, we can address signs of aging across both the upper and lower parts of the face. Neuromodulators relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles in areas like the forehead and around the eyes, while dermal fillers restore volume and shape to areas such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline.
Tackle All Types of Wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles require different treatment methods. Using neuromodulators for dynamic wrinkle reduction and fillers for static lines means that all types of wrinkles are effectively treated, leaving the skin looking smoother and more refreshed.
Improve Facial Symmetry
With the precision offered by aesthetic injectables, combining these treatments can help correct imbalances or asymmetry in facial features. Neuromodulators can lift a drooping brow, while fillers can even out volume differences for a more harmonious and symmetrical appearance.
Enjoy a Comprehensive, Non-Surgical Facelift
When used together, fillers and neuromodulators can create the effect of a non-surgical facelift. This combination targets wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss simultaneously, offering a more complete transformation than either treatment can achieve alone—all without surgery or significant downtime.
Streamline Time and Cost Efficiency
Pairing these treatments in a single session not only saves time but can also be more cost-efficient. By addressing multiple concerns in one visit, patients can achieve noticeable results with less hassle, and the process is convenient and effective.
