Non Surgical Contouring
Dysport
Dysport is a neuromodulator meant to relax muscles, prevent dynamic facial movements, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors prefer to use Dysport as our primary wrinkle relaxer. Dysport takes 3-5 days to show full results and tends to give a more natural looking result, meaning there is still some movement post injection without forming wrinkles. Dysport lasts about 4 months.
Botox
Botox is a neuromodulator meant to relax muscles, prevent dynamic facial movements, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Botox takes 7-10 days to show full results and tends to be associated with a “frozen” look, meaning there is very little to no movement post injection. Botox lasts about 4 months.
Restylane
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler and the original filler in the Restylane family product line from Galderma. It is extremely versatile and can be used in most areas of the face. Specifically, Restylane is great for defining sharp borders of a lip or correcting volume loss in a deep tear trough. Depending on the area it is injected, Restylane lasts 6-9 months.
Restylane Kysse
Favored in Europe over the last few years for lips, Restylane Kysse is finally FDA approved and available in the United States! Restylane Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler that offers both a soft plump and strong definition. Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors find it the most suitable option for lip augmentation. Restylane Kysse lasts 6-9 months, depending on the area it is injected.
Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler in the Restylane family product line from Galderma. It is the stiffest product in the line and best used for building structural definition in static areas of the face. Most commonly, Restylane Lyft is used by Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors in the jawline, on the cheekbone, and to enhance chin projection. Restylane Lyft lasts 6-12 months.
Restylane Defyne
Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler in the Restylane family product line from Galderma. It is a malleable product that can provide structure in areas of the face with continued movement. It has structure, bounce, and elasticity. Restylane Defyne can be used in multiple areas of the face and Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors find it best suited for shaping and plumping a lip, correcting shadowing and volume loss around the mouth, and in the deep tear trough. Restylane Defyne lasts 6-12 months, depending on the area it is injected.
Restylane Refyne
Restylane Refyne is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler in the Restylane family product line from Galderma. It is the softest filler in this product line. It’s unique ability to slide and stretch makes it ideal for hydrating the tissue in areas of repeated movement. Using Restylane Refyne to correct a tear trough allows for a soft, natural outcome. It can also be used in the lip on those looking for a soft appearing lip enhancement or those building volume in a naturally petite lip. Restylane Refyne lasts 6-12 months, depending on the area it is injected.
Restylane Contour
Restylane Contour is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler in the Restylane family product line from Galderma. It is a malleable product that can provide a soft filling in areas of the face where there are volume loss, continued movement, or shadowing. Restylane Contour can be used in multiple areas of the face and Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors find it is best suited for restoring definition in the cheeks, correcting shadowing and volume loss around the mouth, deep tear troughs, and temples. Restylane Contour lasts 6-12 months, depending on the area it is injected.
Restylane Silk
Restylane Silk is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler in the Restylane family product line from Galderma. It is indicated for fine lines around the mouth, tear troughs, and is FDA approved to be injected via microcannula into the lip. Restylane Silk lasts 3-6 months, depending on the area it is injected. It is not ideal for those looking for dramatic or lasting outcomes. Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors do not choose Restylane Silk as an ideal product for most, however if a client is looking to “try on” an injectable treatment, Restylane Silk is a good option.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite based dermal filler and the stiffest injectable product offered at Alpha One Aesthetics. Radiesse is meant to build sharp, structural definition in the jawline, on the cheekbone, and in the chin. Radiesse is packaged in 1.5ml syringes and lasts 9-12 months.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a product that grows collagen wherever it is placed. This collagen grows over a 16 week period to restore volume loss and lasts 2-3 years. Sculptra may require multiple vials to be placed in a series spread out over a few appointments and once your goal result (in the face) is reached, typically only requires one additional vial per year.
Kybella
Kybella, or deoxycholic acid, is an injectable enzyme that permanently dissolves fat cells in small deposits on the body. It is the first injectable FDA approved to reduce submental fullness and the look of a double chin. Kybella can also be used on other parts of the body where there are unwanted small deposits of fat.
Qwo
Qwo is the first and only FDA-approved injectable for the treatment of cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. Enzymes called collagenases target the structural causes under the skin, where cellulite starts. It’s thought that Qwo works by releasing the fibrous bands, redistributing fat cells, and stimulating the growth of new collagen. Full treatment of Qwo is placed over three treatment visits, spaced 21 days apart. A total of 24 dimples can be treated on the buttocks; 12 dimples on a single buttock.
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC
Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler from Allergan. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is most commonly used by Alpha One Aesthetics’ injectors for lip augmentations on those looking to achieve a specific look of fullness. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC typically lasts 6 months in the lip.
Voluma
Voluma is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler from Allergan with the most stiffness out of their products. It is meant to build structural definition in the face, for example along the cheekbones, the jawline, or the chin. Voluma is said to last 24 months, however Alpha One Aesthetics finds it lasts closer to 12-18 months.
Xeomin
Xeomin is a smart toxin with a double-filtered formula that removes unnecessary proteins, so you get only what’s needed for smoother frown lines, treatment after treatment.
Belotero
Belotero is a soft hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler from Merz. Belotero is best used in the neck for “tech neck” or “necklace” lines. Belotero lasts about 6 months, depending where it is in injected.
Injectable Pre and Post Treatment Care
Pre Treatment
DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP TO YOUR APPOINTMENT OR BE PREPARED TO REMOVE IT! Makeup harbors bacteria and if it is not removed prior to injection, it may increase the risk of infection. We attempt to remove all makeup thoroughly, but it is safer not to wear any.
Avoid alcohol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, fish oil, St. John’s Wort, oral Vitamin E, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) 24 hours prior to your treatment, as they may promote the risk of bruising and bleeding in the injection area.
If you are currently taking anti-coagulation medications (Warfarin, Coumadin, Heparin, Lovenox, Enoxaparin, Lepirudin, Refludan, Ticlopidine Ticlid, Clopidogrel, Plavix, Tirofiban, Aggrastat, Eptifibatide, Integrilin), discuss the use of these medications with your healthcare provider prior to your treatment. You may or may not be a candidate for treatment with cosmetic dermal fillers.
If you are prone to cold sores (oral herpes simplex), take your prescribed medication (Famvir, Famciclovir, Valtrex, Valacyclovir, Acyclovir) as prescribed in the 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Notify Alpha One Aesthetics if you develop a cold sore, acne, or open lesions in the area you are expecting to treat or if you experience any type of illness prior to your treatment.
Notify Alpha One Aesthetics of any changes to your health history, medications, or if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant since your last appointment.
Notify Alpha One Aesthetics if you have used Accutane in the past. Use within a 6 month period of treatment may be a contraindication.
DERMAL FILLER POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Avoid applying pressure or touching the treated area for six (6) hours after the procedure. The area can then be gently washed with a cleanser and water. You may resume makeup use at this time.
Avoid vigorous scrubs, exfoliation, or facial treatment in the area of treatment for 72 hours.
If signs and symptoms of infection develop and persist (warmth at the site of injection, discharge/pus, pain/discomfort) or if you develop a fever, please contact Alpha One Aesthetics so our staff may assist you.
Oral or topical Arnica Montana, an herbal supplement, may help with reducing bruising caused by cosmetic treatments. DO NOT take Arnica Montana if you have liver or kidney problems.
For pain/discomfort, use cool packs and over-the-counter analgesics (Acetaminophen, Tylenol). Severe pain should be reported to Alpha One Aesthetics immediately.
Avoid manipulation of the area following the injection unless specifically instructed otherwise by your healthcare practitioner.
If you were injected with Sculptra – remember to massage the treated area for 5 minutes at a time, 5 times a day, for 5 days straight to prevent nodules from forming. This is extremely important for successful Sculptra results. (5x5x5)
It is normal to experience the following:
Swelling will begin within 1-2 hours of treatment and should resolve with 48-72 hours.
Undereyes and lips will swell significantly – this is normal and can be improved by sleeping on a few extra pillows and drinking a moderate amount of water. Lips can swell up to 3 times their normal size. This is not an indicator of an allergy. Avoid particularly salty foods during this time as it may exacerbate undereye swelling.
Aching discomfort is common, especially in the lips, cheeks, and chin. Tylenol (NOT Advil) and some cool compresses will help discomfort.
WRINKLE RELAXER POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
It may take up to 7 days for Dysport and up to 14 days for Botox to take full effect.
A follow-up visit at 10 days to 2 weeks is suggested to assess results for subsequent treatments, particularly if you are a first time client. If full correction is not achieved, you may need to purchase additional Botox/Dysport/Xeomin for injection. Asymmetry is corrected free of charge.
Oral or topical Arnica Montana, an herbal supplement, may help with reducing bruising caused by cosmetic treatments. DO NOT take Arnica Montana if you have liver or kidney problems.
Re-treatment is typically needed at 4 months.
Regular injections usually yield a longer lasting Dysport or Botox result.
If you have had your horizontal forehead lines treated and you feel as though your eyebrows are too heavy, the treatment may not be optimal for you or we may need to adjust your dose. Please let your provider know.
If your upper lip was treated, you may not be able to drink through a straw, whistle, or enunciate some words for approximately 2 weeks.
PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Severe pain at the injection site.
Swelling, redness, or drainage that starts after 48 hours.
Blanching (whitening) of an area that was injected.
