Wrinkle Relaxers / Neuromodulators / Botox
In dermatology, neuromodulators are agents used to treat wrinkles that are caused by facial expression muscles. The most well known neuromodulator is Botox. However, there are other comparable brands: Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Xeomin. All of these agents treat wrinkles that are created from facial expression; for example, wrinkles between the brows created by furrowing the brows, or forehead wrinkles created by raising the eyebrows. In addition to treating wrinkles, neuromodulators can give a “mini lift” to the eyebrows and may be used to treat: TMJ problems from muscle enlargement (hypertrophy) due to jaw clenching, platysmal neckbands, or excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Treatment with a neuromodulator such as Botox is a simple procedure with no down time. At Dean Derm, we aim to give a natural, refreshed look. Call to schedule your cosmetic consultation.
KYBELLA®
ABOUT KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile.
KYBELLA® may be right for you if:
• You’re bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness
• You feel the condition makes you look older or heavier than you actually are
• You don’t want to have surgery
• You eat well and exercise, but submental fullness does not go away
HOW KYBELLA WORKS
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA®destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH KYBELLA
Before starting treatment, your healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, your specialist will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals.
How many KYBELLA treatment sessions will I need?
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA®treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.
Before & After
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the gold standard technique used to treat unsightly spider veins and varicose veins. The procedure involves injecting a solution into the vessels which causes the vessels to collapse and disappear. Compression needs to be worn after the procedure to keep the vessels collapsed and aid in their disappearance. Multiple treatments sessions are often required for optimal results. Sclerotherapy injections are performed in the office by Dr. Dean or our PA, Amy Suter. Call Dean Derm to schedule your consultation.
Fillers
Hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin are substances that are more abundant in younger skin and are responsible for the firm, smooth skin experienced in youth. These substances naturally decrease as skin ages manifesting as volume loss, concavities and sagging skin. Dermal fillers are used to replace volume, contouring the cheeks and temples, and smoothing lines created from sagging skin. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to provide a scaffolding of support, giving a lifted appearance to the face. At our clinic, Dr. Dean, who aims to give a natural, refreshed look, performs the filler injections. Call to schedule a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Dean.
