Of all the cosmetic things that bother both men and women, few are as common as the dreaded double chin. A good many adults are bothered by submental fullness, a technical term for a double chin. Not so long ago, the only real option to treat this problem was surgery. After all, there are not many exercises out there that target the chin. Now, we have the revolutionary double chin treatment known as Kybella®. It is a non-surgical method of getting rid of excess fat underneath the chin for good.

How Does Kybella® Work?

Kybella® is such an effective double chin treatment because it permanently destroys fat cells underneath the chin, leaving them unable to hang on to their contents. Once this has happened, the body steps in and naturally flushes out the fat. Your body will never try to replace or repair the destroyed fat cells, meaning Kybella® can get rid of a double chin for good.

Kybella® is a synthetic form of something that is naturally produced in the body. It is called deoxycholic acid, and the body makes it in the intestines in order to break down dietary fat. When injected into the chin, it attacks the cells, permanently damaging them. During treatment, multiple injections are made underneath the chin.

Getting Results with Kybella®

The first step in the process is to come in for a consultation. It may be determined that you will need more than one treatment in order to reach your peak results. Appointments will need to be spaced at least one month apart in order to give your body time to flush out the fat that has been released.

Who is Kybella® Right For?

This safe and effective treatment for a double chin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for adults seeking to reduce their submental fat. Ultimately, if you are bothered by submental fullness and would like to avoid surgery, Kybella® may be the perfect choice for you. It is not yet clear if this double chin treatment can pass to an unborn child or into a mother’s milk. As a result, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

BOTOX® is a product containing a muscle-relaxing ingredient. It helps to smooth away dynamic wrinkles by preventing muscle contraction. Many of our patients come to us with concerns about marionette lines and crow’s feet that form around their eyes and mouth whenever certain facial expressions are made. These wrinkles are the result of countless skin pinches that occur when the muscles contract.

As we age and mature, these wrinkles become much more prominent. Surgical procedures aren’t required in order to smooth away these lines. A few BOTOX® fluid injections are often all that’s necessary in order to create a more youthful appearance. To find out if you’re a suitable candidate for this cosmetic treatment, read on.

How It Works

When injected into the upper-level facial or forehead muscles, the serum stays pretty much in place. Over the next few days, the individual notices that while smiling, frowning, and the making of other facial expressions is just as easy as before, the skin stays smoother. The dynamic wrinkles don’t appear because the lack of muscle contraction is no longer pinching or pulling on the skin surface.

The Ideal Candidate

Good candidates for BOTOX® treatment include mature adults whose skin is healthy but beginning to show thin smile lines. These are especially common in areas where muscles regularly affect the tightness of the skin. Near the corners of the mouth, on the sides of the eyes, above the bridge nose, and on the center of the forehead, these lines are generally prominent when the individual widens or narrows the eyes, purses the lips, or raises the cheeks.

If this sounds like you, you’re in luck! You don’t have to consider surgical skin ablation or repositioning, and you will likely not be required to have skin resurfacing or peel treatments performed in order to improve your appearance. Instead, BOTOX® injections may do the job quite well.

Consultation and Treatment

We cannot overemphasize the importance of the consultation. It takes a trained, experienced professional to perform this treatment properly. We will want to look at your skin carefully and see where it creases and wrinkles when you perform certain facial expressions. We’ll choose the dosage and injection sites based on this examination.

A typical treatment session takes only about 10 minutes to perform. You’ll enjoy positive results that last for up to six months. After this time, the serum is pretty much flushed from the body, and you’ll need to have the procedure repeated.

This is the simplest and by far the most popular skin-smoothing treatment available. Find out more about BOTOX® cosmetic treatments by scheduling an appointment with Dr. Renée Moran Medical Aesthetics! At our convenient location in Newton Centre, our caring and experienced staff will be happy to explain the process in greater detail and answer any questions you may have.

If you are annoyed with lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or microneedling acne scars, you have probably been seeking out your treatment options. Microneedling is a type of procedure that triggers collagen induction and is minimally-invasive. The procedure leads to skin that is smoother, healthier, and less affected by blemishes. If you’ve been looking for a safe and non-surgical way to minimize signs of aging and sun damage, you owe it to yourself to consider this popular treatment.

What is microneedling acne scars?

Microneedling acne scars is an innovative skin rejuvenation procedure with roots in ancient times. Since the time of Cleopatra, it has been known that affecting the skin in a specific way can trigger the formation of new skin tissue and reduce signs of aging, sun damage, and acne scars. But only in the last few decades has the procedure been refined to allow it to become popular with the masses. The procedure has the ability to rejuvenate your skin without the necessity for surgery.

How Does It Improve My Skin?

Microneedling stimulates the healing process by encouraging the skin to heal itself. Your body responds to the treatment by creating new collagen fibers and depositing them into areas previously occupied by problem skin like acne scars.

What Conditions Does Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling has been found to be safe and effective at minimizing skin problems like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. Patients usually benefit from multiple sessions; however, it all depends on the unique case.

Microneedling also works with applications of topical skin care creams, lotions, gels, and serums by improving skin permeability. The virtually invisible micro-channels created by the treatment allow topicals to smoothly flow and reach deeper layers of your skin to make them much more effective.

How Can I Learn More About Microneedling?

If you would like more detailed information about the microneedling procedure, as well as how it can be used to address your acne scarring, please don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Renée Moran Medical Aesthetics.

It may not be until you experience some kind of illness that you begin to realize that most diseases strike when you are vulnerable. For many people, this is a chronic drop in energy that leaves them walking around in a fog all the time. They become so distracted with their own symptoms that this starts to negatively impact nearly every aspect of their lives. Worn out and under the weather all the time, most of these people just wish they could feel normal again. Fortunately, IV therapy exists, and it may be just what you need to put the spring back in your step.

What are the Benefits?

While you may not realize it, people are using IV therapy to combat a lot of different ailments these days. You might turn to IV therapy after a long flight to reverse the symptoms of jet lag. Alternatively, you may find it interesting that an IV with the right nutrients can even turn a nasty hangover right around after a night of heavy drinking. So, just because you were out drinking, this does not mean you must deal with all the negative effects of doing so. In fact, even your own problem with chronic low energy can be addressed through an IV.

With a cocktail of nutrients being pumped directly into your bloodstream, your cells will finally be able to get sufficient amounts of the nutrients they are missing. After an IV puts back the bulk of these nutrients, you’ll start to lose the brain fog you have been experiencing also.

Why Not Take a Supplement Instead?

When it comes to replacing vital nutrients to encourage optimal health, you may be left wondering why you cannot simply take a supplement to meet your body’s nutrient demands. While you can easily take a supplement, this does not ensure that you are absorbing that supplement’s nutrients. This is a huge advantage that IV therapy has over taking supplements. An IV can deliver 100-percent of the nutrients you take into your body through your bloodstream. On the other hand, oral supplements can be easily filtered out during digestion. This means you are going to have a far more difficult time trying to introduce a concentrated nutrient dose when using the method of oral supplementation.

If you are getting tired of having low energy and feeling foggy, then it may be time to consider IV therapy at Dr. Renée Moran Medical Aesthetics in Newton Centre, MA. Contact us today to book an appointment and learn more.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? If you’ve reached a certain age, the answer is most likely fine lines and wrinkles, especially when you’re making a facial expression. The fact of the matter is that eventually, your skin starts to show signs of aging. While this can be hard to accept, the fortunate side of this news is that you can do something about these signs of aging. In fact, new and exciting cosmetic approaches to address fine lines and wrinkles are being introduced all the time. With that in mind, BOTOX® is still the most popular cosmetic injection treatment out there, and for good reason!

What Can BOTOX® Do for You?

While some commercials are peddling skin creams and ointments that claim to make your skin look youthful again, you have tried many of these compounds with no real success. BOTOX® injections are not like any topical cream or moisturizing formula. Rather, BOTOX® is injected into the muscles underneath the skin. When the facial muscles contract, this causes your face to wrinkle. When the signal between the muscles and the nerves is blocked via BOTOX®, this causes the muscles to relax and not produce wrinkles in your skin.

Are the Results Permanent?

The results of BOTOX® are not permanent; however, you can simply be treated with more injections as needed to continue to maintain the results of a younger-looking face.

Other Benefits

One great thing about BOTOX® is that you can use it in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments. Since the treatment does not involve surgery, it is a great option for men and women with busy schedules.

If you are tired of seeing fine lines and wrinkles when you look at yourself in the mirror, then BOTOX® injections with Dr. Renée Moran Medical Aesthetics could help. To find out more about how this cosmetic procedure can help you improve your appearance, please feel free to get in touch with us at our office in Newton Centre, MA. Contact us today to set up a consultation for BOTOX®!
