What is aesthetics?

Aesthetics is a term for treatments that improve your appearance but don’t involve having surgery. Aesthetics can treat a wide variety of cosmetic concerns, including:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Scarring
• Sagging skin
• Hollow cheeks and temples
• Double chin
• Stubborn fat pockets
• Unwanted hair
• Cellulite
• Varicose and spider veins

Aesthetic therapies offer you the benefits of enhancing your appearance at an affordable cost and with far fewer risks than surgery. People who receive aesthetic treatments often have far more self-confidence and are happier because they feel good about themselves.

What aesthetic treatments could I benefit from?

Teresa James APRN, C-NP Health & Wellness, LLC offers some of the most popular and proven aesthetic treatments, including:

Botox®

Botox, a refined form of a naturally-occurring toxin, reduces the depth and prominence of forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Teresa injects tiny amounts of Botox into your lines and wrinkles, where it blocks the activity of certain nerves.

The nerves can’t tell the muscles that form these lines and wrinkles to contract, so your face smooths out and looks more youthful.

Dermal fillers

Fillers are another kind of aesthetic injection. They target lines and wrinkles and can also fill in hollowed areas. Fillers contain substances like hyaluronic acid, which your body uses to lubricate and hydrate tissues and joints.

Injecting hyaluronic acid into lines and hollows plumps up the tissue under your skin, smoothing it out and restoring a younger appearance.

Microneedling

A microneedling device has multiple tiny needles on it. When Teresa passes the device over your face, the needles create tiny wounds called micro-injuries in your skin. The injuries are so small you barely notice them, but they trigger a reaction in your body’s repair system so it produces new collagen — the substance that keeps your skin plump and elastic.

When will I see the results of my aesthetic treatment?

You should see a difference in your face soon after your Botox and filler treatments.

Each Botox session takes about 15 minutes, and the effects last for three to four months*. A dermal filler treatment takes 15 minutes or so, but the effects can sometimes last for several years*. You can also combine Botox and fillers for a liquid face lift.

If you have a microneedling session, the collagen takes a few weeks to develop, so you won’t see an immediate difference. However, as new collagen builds up, your face regains the smooth tautness it had before you started to age.
