The Best Cosmetic Fillers for the Fall Season

The Best Cosmetic Fillers for the Fall Season

Cosmetic Fillers | Are You Ready for the Holiday Season?

cosmetic fillers for Fall

With its warm, golden colors and cool weather, Fall gives us plenty to enjoy before the world slows down for winter.

After summer, many people are bothered by issues like sun spots, wrinkles, and volume loss from being active out in the sun.

But life moves faster as the days grow shorter, leaving many people pressed for time during the Fall season with no time to dedicate to cosmetic procedures.

What they don’t realize, however, is that multiple lunch-time procedures offer a quick remedy with little to no downtime.

Dermal fillers are a non-invasive way to turn back the hands of time and look younger even as the weather turns.

What Are Dermal Cosmetic Fillers and Injectables?

Simply put, dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to fill and rejuvenate the face.

Fillers are incredibly versatile, can be used in nearly any area, tolerated well by almost all patients, and easy to administer.

Why Is Fall a Good Time for Fillers?

Fast Treatments, Quick Results

Fall is a busy time of year for most of us, and it can be hard to take care of yourself.

Filler treatments, however, make it easy for anyone to enjoy a little boost of rejuvenation.

Most fillers are quickly administered, with treatments often taking minutes to complete.

All it takes is a simple med spa visit for patients to leave with visibly smoother skin or uplifted feature; and little to no side effects in return.

Shorter Days, Less Sun Exposure

One advantage cosmetic fillers have over other cosmetic treatments is that they don’t cause many side effects or require a long healing time.

But treated areas do require some special care; particularly when it comes to avoiding the sun.

Fortunately, fall makes it easier to avoid the sun’s damaging rays as days start to get shorter.

We simply have less sun to deal with, making fall a good time to consider getting a filler treatment while still enjoying the beautiful weather!

Types of Cosmetic Fillers and Where To Use Them

BOTOX® Cosmetic

One of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, BOTOX® Cosmetic is used to smooth creases all over the face. Treatments are particularly effective at treating wrinkles around the eyes, brows, and on the forehead.

Dysport®

Dysport® uses a slightly different form of the botulinum toxin to deliver results that are just as effective. A cost-conscious alternative to BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments correct “frown lines” around the mouth.

JUVÉDERM®

These cosmetic fillers use hyaluronic acid to boost the skin’s own production of collagen and leaves skin smoother, brighter, and younger. There are several different varieties of JUVÉDERM® available:

JUVÉDERM® Ultra

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is a stronger, thicker formula that’s used to target deep wrinkles, marionette lines, and other creases.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC is the strongest form of JUVÉDERM® available, this filler is used for deep tissue correction and targeting deep creases.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is an injectable gel that’s used to fill lips and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is an injectable gel that smooths out moderate creases and restores lost volume, especially hollow areas in the cheeks.

Restylane®

The Restylane® filler also uses hyaluronic acid to smooth creases and wrinkles. Treats aging around the mouth and on the lips.

Sculptra® Aesthetic

This treatment uses a synthetic substance called poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate the body’s collagen production and replace lost volume. Treatments correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, including smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. Results appear gradually but are designed to last for years.

Consistency is Key

Cosmetic fillers provide results that can last a very long time, but rarely permanently. Most fillers will require a repeat visit to keep up results. Consistent and regular treatments are the best way to get optimal improvement.

What Does Liposuction Do?

What Does Liposuction Do?

What Does Liposuction Do?

Liposuction is the Number 2 procedure in the world (just following breast augmentation at Number1). It involves removing unwanted, excess fat within the body in areas, such as the stomach, buttocks, hips, thighs, arms or neck. This is a wonderful procedure for patients who have been struggling to get rid of fat on their own by dieting and exercising. The procedure is also referred to as ‘lipoplasty, or ‘lipolysis’.

What Does Liposuction Do?

How Does Liposuction Work?

With liposuction, the surgeon creates a tiny hole and inserts a cannula needle into the area of the body to remove fat using suction. This is usually performed with local anesthesia.

The Benefits of Liposuction Procedures

Improves Physical Mobility:  Laser liposuction not only benefits a person’s aesthetic appearance; but this procedure can actually improve a person’s ability to move their body without pain and discomfort. This is because when a person is overweight; the excess fat will add pressure to joints, such as the legs and knees; making it difficult to walk, exercise and perform regular daily activities. After getting liposuction, problems with mobility will no longer be an issue.

Increases Confidence: When someone doesn’t feel positive about how they look; it will also impact how they feel overall. We’ve seen such a difference in the before and after of our patients who have received liposuction. Both men and women have demonstrated such a boost in confidence from this procedure. Many have confessed to a long battle with dieting and exercising and to have never achieved the results they were searching for. But after the liposuction procedure, were not only feeling better physically, they were flourishing in the way they perceived themselves.

Utilizing Fat from Liposuction to Improve Other Areas within the Body

Another amazing aspect of laser liposuction is that the excess fat that is removed from the body can be used to actually improve other areas within the body that cause patients to feel less confident. This procedure is referred to as a ‘fat transfer’, ‘fat grafting’, ‘liposculpture’, ‘lipostructure’, liposculpting,’ ‘lipo contouring’ ‘volume restoration’, ‘micro-lipoinjection’ and ‘fat injections’. Whatever you choose to call it, it literally works miracles to enhance features within the buttocks, breasts, calves, face, and even hands.

Dr. Constantino Mendieta has been rated as the best surgeon for liposuction in the USA. And his motto is, ‘Why waste the fat?’. He refers to a person’s excess fat as ‘liquid gold’. There is no better way to contour and reshape the body than by utilizing a patient’s own unwanted body fat from the buttocks, stomach, thighs and hips.

Fat taken from a liposuction procedure can truly alter the appearance of a man or woman’s body shape. Fat will improve the shape within breasts, buttocks and calves. Fat can also be transferred to improve aesthetics within the eyes, cheeks, chin, jaw line and lips. Fat grafting for the hands is also a common procedure.

Dr. Mendieta prefers to use liposuction for aesthetic procedures when possible. He testifies that he likes using liposuction because it can really contour the body. And he explains that it is not a weight loss procedure, it’s definitely a body contouring and reshaping procedure.

“I can take full figured women who most plastic surgeons won’t operate on; and turn them into voluptuous, curvy, full figured women’.

Surgical Procedures that Utilize Fat Transfer

There are many plastic surgery procedures that utilize a patient’s unwanted fat to enhance features. Below are some of the most popular.

Can Anyone Choose the Fat Transfer Method?

Not all patients have enough fat within their body to take advantage of a lipo fat transfer. Cosmetic dermal fillers are sometimes used for those patients instead of fat. To find out if you are a candidate for a fat transfer procedure, simply contact us. We will go over all of your aesthetic options and help you to find the best way to look and feel your best.

Non Invasive Cosmetic Anti Aging Treatments

Feeling dissatisfied with your appearance can affect everything from self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, to career prospects and self-confidence. Therefore, if you are not carrying yourself through life with confidence, you may miss opportunities to progress. This may include your love life; professional pursuits; or social circles.

How to Find the Best Anti Aging Treatment Options

Dry skin (or the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face) may cause you to hide away from the world. And if you are unhappy with your body shape, you may not dress to impress. You may feel less included to enjoy vacations by the pool. Changes to your facial features may also remind you of the advancement of old age; and prevent you from living in the moment.

It often seems that many aesthetic body issues can only be solved with surgery. However, the surgical approach is not always suitable for everyone. Work, family and social commitments restrict the amount of recovery time available for plastic surgery.

Underlying health issues may not allow for anesthesia. And some patients do not want to experience the pain and scarring associated with plastic surgery procedures.

Experience a Range of Non-invasive Cosmetic Treatments and Procedures

At 4Beauty Med Spa in Miami, we understand that you want a boost to your confidence; or to create an image change without invasive treatments. We offer a wide range of non surgical cosmetic procedures to tackle many problem areas for our patients. For example, the skin is the first area of the body to show evidence of aging and exposure to the elements. Consider a dermaplaning chemical peel to improve the appearance of wrinkles; and lessen the impact of acne scars. Dermaplaning removes translucent facial hairs to give the face a cleaner and more beautiful outline.

In other areas of the body, cellulite can cause distress or embarrassment for many people. Laser treatment for cellulite can be performed in as little as one hour, resulting in smooth, tightened skin that can last for up to a year.

FALL FILLERS TO FIGHT SUMMER’S DAMAGING EFFECTS

InstaLift, Laser, Halo Facial and Other Ways to Get a Winter Glow

InstaLift, Laser, Halo Facial and Other Ways to Get a Winter Glow

Miami winters aren’t quite like the quintessential snow-filled seasons you find elsewhere. With plenty of sun and sand, winters here can just feel like an extended summer. But even minor drops in temperature can cause some unpleasant changes to our skin. And as the weather keeps changing, it can be a struggle to keep up or even know how to best deal with it.

Give your skin some extra TLC and combat the harsh effects of the season by utilizing some of the most innovative non-invasive treatments available to keep skin glowing well into springtime.

How the Winter Can Affect Skin

Winter’s lower temperatures and harsh, cold air often strip skin of much-needed hydration. Skin begins to dry, irritate and even crack, worsening existing conditions like acne or eczema.

People also tend to stay indoors and use artificial heat sources, including staying in hot water longer during the winter months. The heat also increases skin dryness, causing it to look dull and lifeless.

Winter Glow Up: How to Cheer Up Winter Skin

Even sunny Miami isn’t immune to weather changes during the late and early months of the year. These time periods can leave skin looking worse for wear. Fortunately, Dr. Mendieta offers a few minimally invasive ways to restore skin and create a beautiful winter glow.

Silhouette InstaLift®

With effects comparable to a facelift, the Silhouette InstaLift® offers patients a unique way to lift tired-looking facial muscles for a beautiful rejuvenating effect.

Similar to a thread lift, the Silhouette InstaLift® also uses temporary small sutures to lift facial skin and tissue. It uses bi-directional cones made with a special polymer that’s designed to be absorbed by the body. It works its magic and lifts drooping muscles.

Dr. Mendieta uses local anesthesia to place the sutures, which tighten facial contours immediately, providing rejuvenation right away. The entire procedure takes about 45 minutes to complete, with minimal recovery and downtime. Results can last up to two years.

This facial treatment uses its hybrid fractional laser process to resurface and renew skin at the same time. It targets tissues with a precision and depth that provides long-lasting rejuvenation.

The Halo facial can help restore skin by removing signs of sun damage, smoothing over lines and creases, and improving overall skin texture.

Its innovative process also ensures Halo facial treatments result in little downtime for patients. This is an appealing option for patients who want to restore dull winter skin right before the holiday season begins.

Neo® Laser by Aerolase®

Neo® Laser treatments provide a wide range of options suitable to nearly any patient and skin type out there. Its strength lies in its powerful lasers which penetrate deeply into the skin to repair hyperpigmented spots; tighten loose skin; and remove scars and wrinkles.

The uniquely formulated lasers target skin effectively while using less heat; minimizing skin damage and recovery time from the treatment.

10 Years Younger Instantly with Injectable Fillers

10 Years Younger Instantly with Injectable Fillers

injectable fillers in miami

Have you ever looked through a magazine and wondered how all of the celebrities or models look so incredibly young?  Are they really using a new face cream that they are endorsing?  Probably not.  In Andrea’s case, she was feeling amazing after losing weight and eating healthier. However, when she looked in the mirror, she didn’t look the way that she felt.  



How to Look Younger with Botox® and Injectable Fillers

One of Andrea’s concerns included her asymmetric eyebrows. The right brow was higher than the left causing her eyes to look hidden.  The fine lines and wrinkles around her eyes and forehead were also a concern. And was taken care of by relaxing the muscles using Botox.*  Botox was used to soften the fine lines and wrinkles as well as correcting the asymmetric eyebrows.*  

 

Midface Lift Using Injectable Fillers

This beautiful patient also had a midface lift using injectable fillers to defy gravity and restore her cheekbones for a more youthful shape.*  Would you believe that in both pictures she was not wearing any foundation on her skin?

Well, it’s true. And is attainable with the halo laser treatment by Sciton.* The Halo laser is a hybrid fractional laser that uses both ablative and non-ablative technology to resurface the skin.*  The benefits include younger skin cells, increased collagen production, dewy skin, decreased pore size and sun damage removal!*  As you can see, once the collagen is more organized, you begin to reflect the light.*  

Eyebrows, lashes and lips frame the face, but what good is a frame if you don’t have the luminous skin?  

“You are beautiful”,

Love,

Lindsay PA-C xoxo

Kissing after Lip Fillers 

Did you know that approximately 80% of people who go in for a kiss tilt their heads to the right?

Kissing not only enhances the ‘feel good’ neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, but it can lower stress.* Having a nice, full pout can make kissing even more enjoyable.*  Lips come in many different shapes and sizes. And all of them can be enhanced with a little hyaluronic acid filler.*

How to Get Fuller Lips

Fillers can be anything, from juvederm/restylane to volbella.  Luscious lips can look anything from Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, or the iconic classic, Marilyn Monroe.  Having beautiful, full lips can enhance anyone’s face and increase self confidence.*  Lip fillers may lasts anywhere from 6 to 9 months, depending upon how fast your metabolism breaks down the filler.*

 

Do Lip Fillers Hurt?

A lot of people are initially nervous about having their lips injected with a filler. But let me tell you that it is not painful.*  Topical numbing cream is applied. And sometimes even performing a simple nerve block can help to alleviate pain.*  

Lip augmentation can look as natural, or as supernatural, as you would like them to be.*  It is important to do your research; and then to go to an expert injector, in order to have the best results for your lip shape.*

So go ahead, fill the lips. Enjoy a nice make-out session. Reduce stress and increase happiness.*
