There is no question that the aging process causes wrinkles and folds in our skin. Unfortunately, they can occur much earlier and be much more noticeable than we would wish them to be. Sometimes, they occur between the eyes, and these are called glabellar lines. Or, they may be visible down the side of your nose and may extend to the corners of your mouth. These types of wrinkles are called nasolabial folds. If you have decided it’s time to explore treatment options to reduce or eliminate these facial annoyances, Dr. Richard Bragg of Florida Vein Care and Cosmetic Center is here to help, offering both Orlando Xeomin® and Belotero Balance® procedures.
Why are they options? It’s because certain treatments are better suited for specific types of lines and wrinkles and their location. Belotero Balance® is dermal filler, specifically developed to treat moderate to severe nasolabial folds and lessen their overall appearance on each side of your nose to the corners of your mouth. It is approved by the FDA and is a safe and effective way to treat these and other delicate facial areas around the mouth and nose. Smile lines and the thin lines that appear above and around the lips (vertical lip lines) have also been successfully treated with Belotero Balance®.
Xeomin® is also approved by the FDA and is used for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines). Xeomin® is produced from the same bacterium that causes botulism, but it does not require refrigeration and does not have an attached protein in its molecular structure which makes it different from Botox®. The resulting effect is the reduction in the appearance of the glabellar lines. It has also been approved for treatment of lines across the forehead and crow’s feet. Xeomin® works more as a muscle and nerve relaxer whereas Belotero Balance® is used as dermal filler.
