Your skin serves as the protective barrier that shields your body from disease, certain bacteria, the environment, varying temperatures and other foreign objects. While protecting us from all the different elements our skin takes a beating. Daily use is stretching and scrunching our skin as we emote and interact with our surroundings. Though you can take measures to protect your skin, for some suggestions on keeping healthy skin, talk to Gainesville Dermatologists. As your skin is used it can take on distinguishing marks, like wrinkles. Looking into a a well used face you can see the lines that tell you how a person laughed or smiled, frowned or sighed. Though, use is not the only thing that determines the look of our face. Sometimes external factors like too much sun, or internal things like lost collagen, hormones, something predetermined by our genes can add up to determine our look. As certain parts of our skin are used more they will take on lines. There are procedures offered by Gainesville Dermatologists like botox or dermal fillers that can lessen these physical signs. To help you learn more about these procedures, some basic summaries are listed below.
Botox works by stopping some of the nerves that activate muscles. Botox is used in many parts of the medical field, such as certain muscle therapies. When applied in small amounts by Gainesville Dermatologists to certain regions in your face it can decrease the activities of certain muscles that create the appearance of wrinkles. Gainesville Dermatologists can customize a treatment plan for you that will allow you to attain your desired look. It is a very quick procedure that can be completed within a matter of minutes that needs no recovery time. Botox is relatively painless, the injections have been described as similar to a mosquito bite. The results should be noticeable in anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks and will last for about three months.
Another cosmetic procedure offered by the Gainesville Dermatologists is dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid and collagen are natural parts of the skin that deplete from the skin as we age. Collagen in the skin makes it firm while hyaluronic acid makes the skin and voluminous. As collagen and hyaluronic acid steadily leave the skin, the skin looks less full, folds and wrinkles develop and the lips thin. The dermal fillers offered by Gainesville Dermatologists put the firmness and volume back into the skin by putting the Hyaluronic acid and collagen back, also using polylactic acid which is used in other medical procedures. Having collagen and hyaluronic acid back in the skin will bring firmness and fullness back to the skin. Generally, this procedure is focused in the mouth and nose area. Discomfort can be minimized at Gainesville Dermatologists with topical anesthetic and lidocaine injections if it is so desired. Dermal filler results are immediate and the whole process only takes an hour.
