Neurotoxins and Facial Fillers

Restylane™ – Like the other members of the Restylane family, Restylane is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid – a sugar that is naturally present in your skin. Like other areas of the face, the lips and skin surrounding the mouth show signs of aging as an individual gets older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and an increase in vertical lines above the lip. Restylane is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these areas. That’s why it’s made of smaller, smoother particles than those used in other Restylane products. For more information about Restylane please consult the Restylane website.

Restylane Defyne™ Crafted with XpresHA Technology™, Restylane Defyne™ helps smooth out deep laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). Using innovative cross-linking technology, Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is able to help restore a more youthful, natural-looking appearance, while helping you maintain your natural expressions. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the lines that run from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corner of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) become more pronounced. Restylane Defyne is crafted with XpresHAn Technology™ to correct these deepened lines. The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Defyne is also designed to help support your facial expressions – for natural-looking results that help maintain your natural movement. For more information about Restylane Defyne, please consult the Restylane website.

Restylane Refyne™ – Designed with XpresHAnTechnology™ to help soften laugh lines. This can help you restore a more natural look to your face while maintaining your facial expressions. So, you always look like you. As skin loses elasticity with age, the lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corner of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) appear more noticeable. Restylane Refyne is a specifically formulated hyaluronic acid dermal filler made with XpresHAn Technology™ that helps correct these lines for a more natural look to your face. The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Refyne is also designed to help support your natural expression – for real-life results that help maintain natural movement when you’re smiling, frowning, and even puckering up. Talk to your specialist and see for yourself why it’s worth it. For more information about Restylane Refyne, please consult the Restylane Refyne website.

Restylane Lyft™ – Just like other products in the Restylane family, Lyft (formerly known as Perlane-L®) is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own hyaluronic acid, adding volume and fullness to the skin. What makes Lyft different than other Restylane products is the average size of the particles and the depth of injection, which means it’s a good choice for more severe facial wrinkles that benefit from a deeper injection into the skin. Wondering if Restylane or Lyft is right for you? During your consultation, our Cosmetic Nurse Injector will be able to help you make the right choice for treatment. For more information about Restylane Lyft, please consult the Lyft website.

Juvederm Ultra™ and Juvederm Ultra Plus™ – Kiss those parentheses lines goodbye – instantly. Juvederm smooths out those parentheses lines along the sides of your nose and mouth (the nasolabial folds). Juvederm is the only FDA-approved HA filler that lasts up to one year with one treatment. Some HA fillers have a granular consistency; only Juvederm has unique Hylacross™ technology, which gives Juvederm its special, smooth-gel consistency. You’ll get a smooth, natural look and feel that holds up over time – so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! For more information about Juvederm Ultra, please consult the Juvederm website.

Volbella™ by Juvederm adds fullness to the lips and softens the appearance of the lines around the lips. Volbella is formulated with Vycross®, a proprietary filler technology from Allergan, which yields smooth products that have been engineered to address specific patient concerns such as lip fullness, age-related volume loss in the cheek area, or perioral rhytids. Vycross® blends different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid which contributes to the gel’s duration. In addition, Juvederm Volbella® XC has been customized with a lower HA concentration, while still providing the long-lasting results healthcare providers expect from the Juvederm® collection of fillers. This makes Juvederm Volbella® XC a soft, smooth gel appropriate for adding subtle volume to the lips and softening the appearance of perioral lines. For more information about Volbella XC, please consult the Volbella website.

Voluma XC™ by Juvederm is the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over the age of 21. It can give you contour and a subtle lift for up to two years with optimal treatment. As you age, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. Your cheeks can lose volume and skin may begin to sag. Voluma XC injectable gel is designed to temporarily reverse these signs of aging. It is a gel that is injected into the cheek area to lift the skin. It temporarily adds volume to the cheek area and results in a smoother contour and more youthful appearance to the face. For more information about Voluma XC, please consult the Voluma XC website.

Botox™ – Botox Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface to target the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet to form over time. It blocks the release of a substance called acetylcholine. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe wrinkles to form. Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, or damage caused by free radicals. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet. Botox Cosmetic™ is the first and only FDA-approved prescription product that temporarily improves the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and moderate to severe crow’s feet in adults. For more information about Botox Cosmetic, please consult the Botox website.

Dysport™ is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas. Over time, the muscles above and between the eyebrows repeatedly contract and tighten, causing wrinkles. But, with just one injection into each of five points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. For up to four entire months, you could have the look that you love. For more information about Dysport, please consult the Dysport website.

Kybella™ (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin.” You and your Body BeneFits professional will design a treatment plan tailored to you, to help you improve your chin profile. During your treatment sessions, your injector will administer Kybella into the fat under your chin using multiple injections. Many patients experience visible results in two to four treatment sessions. Up to six treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart. For more information about Kybella, please consult the Kybella website.

Body BeneFits is also pleased to provide B12, and B12 Lipo (Fat Burner) injections. What are B12 Lipo weight loss injections? Often referred to as Lipotropic B12 Injections, Lipotropics or vitamin B12 with Lipotropics, B12 Lipo are weight loss combinations made from compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder. Lipo-B decreases fat deposits, and speeds up the metabolism and the natural removal of fat from the body. By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver (lipo = fat, tropic = stimulate). There are three key amino acids used to make these lipotropic shots are Vitamin B12, Choline, Methione, and Inositol. Vitamin B12 is essential for helping to form new, healthy cells in the body. It also boosts energy, helping to increase activity levels. Choline supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body. Methione is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids that acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body; it is also helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue, and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces histamine release. Inositol, a nutrient belonging to the B vitamin complex, is closely associated with choline. It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol.   

Safety of Injectables

All of the injections offered at Body BeneFits are required to be administered by a licensed medical professional. Each injectable carries its own specific risks. In general, the post-treatment experience can include swelling, redness or bruising at the injection site. This usually will resolve within a week. There is a slight risk of infection with injectable treatments, and a very rare but potential risk of injury to the skin.
