How Many Units of Botox Do I Need? | Botox Injection Dosage Guide

Welcome to the world of Botox, an essential tool in both cosmetic enhancement and therapeutic care. This guide aims to provide a detailed understanding for people considering Botox to answer one of VERVE Medical Cosmetics’ most asked questions: how much Botox do I need? We’ll discuss the effects of Botox on facial wrinkles, number of units needed in each area, and also touch upon the different brands like Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Xeomin, which operate similarly. The Science Behind Botox Injections: How Botox Works Botox functions by inhibiting nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax and thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Achieving the right dosage is crucial for balancing effectiveness with a natural look. Botox cosmetic treatments not only relax muscles but also alter their interactions, allowing untreated muscles to become more pronounced and subtly changing facial expressions. Botox treatments often shift the muscle balance from one area…

Natural-Looking Cheek Filler Injection Techniques for Older Adults | Everything You Need to Know for a More Youthful Face

Natural-Looking Cheek Filler Injection Techniques for Older Adults | Everything You Need to Know for a More Youthful Face

Today, we’re exploring how cheek fillers offer a transformation to the aging face. For many, cheek fillers are a cornerstone of rejuvenation, subtly lifting and volumizing to restore youthfulness without surgery. As we age, our faces lose bone, muscle, and fat, leading to that sunken, tired look. Properly applied, cheek fillers can lift, and turn back the clock, enhancing facial harmony and boosting confidence. Understanding Facial Aging and Filling Hollows with Cheek Fillers Aging changes our face in layers—from bone to muscle to skin. The midface and cheekbones are particularly affected, losing their defining contours over time. Cheek fillers add volume to the cheek area and can strategically lift the face, reducing the deep folds and sagging that comes with age. By understanding the structure of the aging face, injectors can target these fillers to mimic the natural anatomy, achieving results that look anything but ‘done.’ Choosing the Right Type…

Collagen and Skin Aging: Do Collagen Supplements Combat Wrinkles, Signs of Aging + Skin Health?

Welcome to our deep dive into the effects of collagen and its pivotal role in the aging process. This blog will explore the latest research findings and highlight how lifestyle, nutrition, medical advances, and hormonal factors contribute to aging and the health of our skin. Inflammaging and Skin Health The concept of “inflammaging” describes the chronic inflammation associated with aging and its detrimental effects on various organs, including the human skin. Inflammation and inflammaging  are the core reasons for many chronic diseases, heart disease, and cancer and are known as major variables in skin health. This inflammation impairs cellular repair and increases the presence of dysfunctional cells, known as senescent cells, which exacerbate skin aging by disrupting normal cellular functions.  The best lifestyle choices reduce inflammation, Slow aging, and reduce the core of inflammaging. The Skin-Gut Axis The connection between our gut health and skin condition, known as the skin-gut…

What Age Should I Start Getting Botox? | When to Start Preventative Botox

What Age Should I Start Getting Botox? | When to Start Preventative Botox

There is no text book time to start taking preventative measures against aging. People in their 20s or their early 30s can benefit from Botox injections as frequently as once a year to reduce the tension on skin from muscle movements. With its proven effectiveness in treating and preventing wrinkles, Botox has become a popular option not only for those looking to address existing signs of aging but also for younger individuals seeking preventive measures. Understanding the nuances of Botox’s effects on the skin is essential to determining the best age to begin treatments.  Does Botox Work to Prevent Wrinkles? Yes, Botox does prevent wrinkles, but it’s important to distinguish between the two types of facial wrinkles it affects: “static” or “resting” lines, and “dynamic wrinkles.” Dynamic wrinkles are caused by facial muscle movement, whereas static lines are the creases that remain when the skin is at rest. Botox primarily…

Botox vs Dysport - Which wrinkle treatment is right for you?

Botox vs Dysport – Which wrinkle treatment is right for you?

Treating fine lines and wrinkles Botox (botulinum toxin) and Dysport are both neurotoxin medications that, when injected to the treatment area, block or reduce muscular activation in specific areas. Other similar neurotoxins include XEOMIN, Jeveau, and Daxxify. Commonly, these medications are used aesthetically to treat wrinkles and fine lines in areas like between the eyes (glabellar lines), frown lines, forehead lines, and the corners of the eyes. By relaxing the muscle tension, they can reduce the lines or the wrinkles that are seen with muscular pole and  movement. This is very popular because it can decrease the lines that we see between the eyes in the forehead and around the eyes. Typically, they take up to a week to show effects, which typically last several months or more.= In essence, these are neuromodulators. They modulate the neurological communication between nerves and muscles by blocking or interfering with protein signals from…
