The skin care professionals at Palo Alto Medical Foundation offer a range of non-surgical options to smooth your face and restore your skin's youthful volume.
Injectable treatments such as Botox, Dysport and dermal facial fillers can be used alone or in combination to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox typically starts to improve your appearance in 48 hours, with the maximum effect reached in two weeks. Results typically last three to four months and with repeated treatments may last longer. Dysport typically starts to work in 48 to 72 hours and can last up to four months.
Dermal fillers are used to increase facial volume and can help smooth your wrinkles and soften creases, with results typically lasting six to 12 months. We offer hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus, which are all approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration.
As we age, our skin’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases, causing collagen to snap like a rubber band and create wrinkles in the skin. Injecting water-loving, viscous hyaluronic acid into your facial skin in the form of a dermal filler can temporarily increase volume and smooth wrinkles.
