Age Erasers

Dr. Lopez invites you to a complimentary consultation to discuss how a non-surgical approach can enhance and rejuvenate your appearance. Santa Ana Skin Care Clinic uses the following:

Botox® Cosmetics can erase dynamic facial wrinkles without surgery. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by the overuse of some muscles of facial expression, and appear as crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, furrows in the brow, or creases on the bridge of the nose. A simple injection of this medication safely relaxes these muscles and dramatically eliminates crow's feet, worry and smile lines. A remarkable transformation may be seen within a few days following treatment as lines vanish. Results are a more rested, youthful appearance that can last four to six months before requiring a touch-up. Sometimes persistent tension headaches are relieved as the muscles relax. Both men and women can enjoy the benefits of this painless, low-risk treatment that takes only a few minutes in the doctor's office.

 

Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane® is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. (Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin). Because Restylane® is non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required as risk of animal based disease transmission or allergic reaction is removed.

 

The benefit of Restylane® -vs- Collagen is the longer lasting effectiveness of the Restylane ®, which will last between 6 to 9 months only requiring scheduling of twice a year. To learn more call Dr. Lopez and set up a consultation today!

 

Radiesse™ is an injectable filler that offers a non-surgical approach to shaping and contouring the face reversing the common signs of aging or addressing a health issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment. Aging, fat loss, and the pull of gravity, eventually create noticeable changes in the area under the eyes, along the cheekbone, and down to the base of the jaw. That's where Radiesse™ can help. Touted as a superior filler by physicians and patients alike, Radiesse™ unique composition provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse™ is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body's own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse™ the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring - along with other therapeutic applications.

 

Radiesse™ can be used for:

 

If you have begun to notice the gradual appearance of fine lines around the eyes, lips, or mouth, or if you would like fuller, luscious lips, you may be a candidate for collagen replacement therapy. Collagen is a natural protein located just beneath the surface of the skin that provides firmness and support. Our bodies produce less collagen as we age, which eventually leads to sagging skin, thinner lips, and weaker features. Collagen can fill in scars left by acne or chickenpox, and can smooth out vertical lines around the lips and corners of the mouth. Many motion picture actors have discovered that collagen can create fuller, more sensuous lips and maintain the look for some time. Touch-ups may be performed two to three times per year to continue the effects.

JUVÉDERM™ Ultra is the latest dermal filler advance from Allergan Inc. This "next generation" smooth gel, is a non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. JUVÉDERM™ is longer lasting because it's the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and uses a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look. Other dermal fillers use a gel particle suspension formulation. These gel particles can be visibly seen under the skins surface.

 

Hyaluronic acid is a natural occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel will help smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last about six months.
