It’s important to note that BOTOX® and Juvéderm® works in different ways to reduce the signs of aging. BOTOX® is used to block the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles to reduce the activity of those muscles. This is especially useful for those frown lines that form between the brows, and the fine lines around the eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for people 18 to 65 years of age. During the treatment, Dr. Kellie Mosley will administer very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic by a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause stubborn lines. The treatment usually takes about 10 minutes, and no down time is required. This treatment may cause little to no discomfort, and you always have the option of numbing the areas before being treated. Within 1-2 weeks, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

Juvéderm® is a filler. These fillers do just what their name implies; they fill in and plump out any fine line in the face with a substance called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. Juvéderm® is actually the only hyaluronic acid filler with FDA approval to last up to one year. During your Juvederm treatment, Dr. Kellie Mosley will ease Juvéderm® injectable gel into the skin using a fine needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area and smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds) and “marionette lines” (oral commissures). Juvéderm® temporarily adds volume to the skin and may give the appearance of a smoother surface. This treatment usually takes about 15 minutes, and may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. You do have an option of numbing the area to be treated before the injection is administered. Results may vary, so schedule a consultation with Dr. Kellie Mosley to find out what treatment will work best for you.
