Effective Botox and Dermal Filler Treatments in La Mesa

Botox Treatment

Botox is an injectable material that has helped millions of people eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Botox helps to smooth out wrinkles of the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet; improve facial contour by slimming the jaw; eliminate vertical bands or horizontal lines in the neck; and even help prevent excessive sweating of the palms and armpits.

Botox works by temporarily limiting the motion of treated muscles. When treated by an expert, you should still be able to move your face and maintain normal facial expressions, but the muscles treated with Botox should not be able to create lines or wrinkles when you make facial expressions. The goal is when you smile, your crow’s feet should be gone—no deep creases around your eyes. You should still be able to raise your brow and express emotions in your upper face, but no forehead wrinkles or lines should be noted when you do this. Frown lines should completely melt away – no more angry or tired appearance—rather the goal is to look rested and refreshed.

Dermal Filler Treatment

Dr Saami is an expert in all types of filler including Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, and more. These injectable materials have been used for decades to correct wrinkles around the nose, mouth, and jawline, as well as to add volume and fullness to the lips, chin, cheeks, and temples. Filler can also be used to fill the backs of the hands to restore a younger aesthetic, or injected into the buttock or other areas to help shape, contour, and volumize. Depending on the area treated and the filler selected, results can last 2 years or more for some patients.

The most important aspect of using any type of filler to improve facial or body contouring is to avoid the “done” look. No “duck lips” or unnatural looking cheeks or chin. Instead, Dr Saami takes his time to assess the global features that are indirectly leading to facial features that a patient wants to treat. Dr Saami confidently contours the face in a way that sets him apart from other injectors:

He can volumize and lift the cheeks, soften lines around the mouth, plump and add fullness to the lips, sharpen the jawline, contour the chin, and smoothen and fill moderate to severe lines of the face. There is no limit to the areas that can be successfully treated by filler as long as you are being treated by an expert that knows how to safely and effectively achieve your goals.
