Overview
At Avanti Skin Center of Denver, we pride ourselves in offering minimally invasive treatments like Denver Botox to our clients. We are also pleased to offer Laser Genesis Skin Therapy to help our patients achieve a vibrant, even skin tone. When combined with wrinkle-fighting injectables, this treatment makes the face truly glow.
Laser treatments work by stimulating collagen production. The light penetrates the deepest layers of the face, stimulating an increased production of this vital substance. All of this occurs without any damage to the top layers, which makes it a minimally invasive option. Our clients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, and within a few days notice an immediate reduction in fine wrinkles, large pores, and uneven textures.
Many patients combine this laser treatment with an injectable, like Botox Cosmetic. This injectable relaxes the muscles that cause deep lines in the face. When combined with laser treatment, the overall affect is astonishing, literally erasing away the most common signs of aging in every area of the face. This is a highly effective treatment that lasts up to four months.
If you are ready to look younger and do away with the wrinkles, pores, and lines that are impacting your overall look, then call Avanti today. We will give you a free consultation to discuss the best possible treatments, such as Denver Botox or laser treatment. With our help, you can look years younger in just a few days.
A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a simple, nonsurgical procedure that
smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over
time. One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—relaxes the
muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to four
months. So you can frown, smile, or look surprised—without the
furrows, creases, and wrinkles.
Used by over 3 million people annually, this is the most popular
non-surgical treatment to reduce wrinkles. This benefit comes from the
drug's ability to selectively and precisely relax the muscle which
causes the wrinkle to occur. Wrinkles that form with the movement of
facial muscles and disappear when the face is at rest are called dynamic
wrinkles. These wrinkles are effectively resolved with Botox®
therapy. Wrinkles that persist when the face is at rest, or static
wrinkles, will also often dramatically improve, or even disappear in
time. These will sometimes need other adjunctive treatment, though, for
optimal results.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested. Now it’s approved by the
FDA. The results are dramatic and apparent within days. For many,
BOTOX® Cosmetic virtually "erases" these lines. Unlike surgery, BOTOX®
Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or
recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity
following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and
relaxed. With BOTOX® Cosmetic, your friends will know you’ve done
something, they just won’t know what.
Hyperhidrosis
Treatment
Hyperhidrosis
or excessive sweating can
be an upsetting social problem and can prevent you from your normal
activities and restrict your freedom. It can be embarrassing,
upsetting, and inconvenient and can have professional consequences
for those who experience this. If you suffer from this condition,
you are not alone. The cause is often unknown although it may be
associated with genetics, some medical conditions or medications.
At
Avanti Skin Center of Denver we
carefully review your expectations and goals during your
hyperhidrosis consultation, and we discuss available treatments,
while considering limitations, side effects and complications.
Treatments include:
- Prescription topical antiperspirants
- Prescription medication
- Botox to reduce sweat production
In addition we also discuss optionswhich are not offered at Avanti such as surgery.
Particularly with Botox treatments inthe axilla (underarm) we ensure that we target the most active glandswith our starch-iodine prep. Many of our patients have met withgreat success in reaching their goals to control perspiration
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is BOTOX®
Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a natural, purified protein produced
by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Very low doses of BOTOX®
Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the
overactive muscles that cause lines to form. B OTOX® Cosmetic works
by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected
muscles. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are usually confined to the
injected region; it does not travel throughout the body.
What kind of wrinkles do Botox injections treat?
Wrinkles that are caused by muscle contraction, such as frown lines, crow´s feet, forehead creases, and neck bands can be safely and successfully treated with Botox.
What BOTOX® Cosmetic is not.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is not magic. BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your appearance or make you look like you've had "work done". It will not make you look 20 years younger. Because it's highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects are usually confined to the region of injection, and BOTOX® Cosmetic does not remain in your body indefinitely.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic right for you?
If doing all you can to look your best is important to you, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be for you. If reducing those tough lines between your brows would make you feel more approachable, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be for you. Thousands of appearance-conscious women and men have already discovered the benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Not just models and movie stars, but ordinary people—teachers, mothers, and business people from all walks of life. Treatment can be used by people from ages 18 to 65. Our physician can help you decide if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.
Who should administer BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Any authorized health care professional can administer BOTOX® Cosmetic, however physicians are generally more experienced.
What can I expect from BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment?
Your doctor will determine exactly where to administer several tiny injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although our doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. It is unlikely you will develop significant side effects, although some people may develop slight temporary bruising at the injection site, which can easily be covered by makeup. You may resume normal activity immediately. Within days, you'll see a marked improvement which may continue to improve for as long as a week and should last up to four months.
Are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments painful?
Discomfort is minimal and brief—most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. Your physician may choose to use a local anesthetic cream or ice to minimize this. Once the injection is complete, there is usually no discomfort.
Will my lines look worse if I choose not to continue treatments?
No. Your lines gradually revert to their pre-treatment appearance.
How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last?
BOTOX® Cosmetic lasts up to three-four months.
