Your sister-in-law always looks amazing, and while you envy her, you figure it’s because she has the time to get the work done. Sure, you have plenty of ideas about what you’d fix here and there, but who (besides your sister-in-law) has the kind of time required for the necessary procedures plus the downtime needed for recovery?

Well, guess what. At San Diego Body Contouring, we’d like to let you in on a little secret that your sister-in-law may not want you to know:

It doesn’t require as much time or effort as you think.

We can offer lots of non-invasive, pick-me-up treatment options that you can get during your lunch-hour without even having to skip a beat. They require no downtime, so you can get back to your life immediately. And they work!

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers allow you to address signs of aging or enhance your features quickly and easily. They can help improve the appearance of deep lines and give your skin a more supple, youthful appearance that skincare products alone cannot.

Dermal fillers can be used to:

  • Diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles
  • Add volume and smooth out deep creases
  • Decrease the appearance of scars
  • Fill out hollows under the eyes
  • Plump thin lips
  • Augment cheeks to enhance their shape
  • Correct other concerns related to facial aging

Each dermal filler is best at addressing specific concerns and parts of the face.

Here are a few:

Botox

Botox injections work to block signals from the nerves to the muscles, and because the injected muscle can’t contract, wrinkles soften and relax. Botox is most often used to address:

  • Lines in the forehead
  • Crows feet (around the eyes)
  • Frown lines

Wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to Botox.

Restylane and Juvéderm (Voluma and Ultra XC)

Restylane addresses the gravity wrinkles that Botox can’t. As the natural fats in our faces begin to deteriorate, we get sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles, and a reduction of volume. Restylane injections add fullness to the face and diminish the look of severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

Juvéderm Voluma is specifically designed for deep injection in the dermis, which places it right on top of your facial bones. This makes it best suited for long-lasting cheek and chin enhancement. Under optimal conditions, it can last up to two years!

Juvéderm Ultra XC is a wonderful option for plumping thin lips, and it lasts for up to a year!
