Botox & Dermal Fillers

Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean you can’t age gracefully. Wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss can make you look older than you feel, and that’s where Botox and dermal fillers come in. These non-surgical cosmetic treatments have revolutionized the beauty industry, helping people achieve a smoother, fresher, and more youthful appearance without the need for invasive procedures.

At Synovia Health, we specialize in providing safe and effective Botox and filler treatments, tailored to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining a balanced, natural-looking result. Whether you want to soften expression lines, restore facial volume, or achieve a more youthful glow, our expert team is here to help.

What is Botox?

Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting, which results in smoother skin. Botox is primarily used for:

• Forehead Lines – Softening horizontal wrinkles that develop due to repeated expressions.
• Crow’s Feet – Reducing fine lines around the eyes for a more refreshed look.
• Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines) – Smoothing the deep lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines.”
• Bunny Lines – Reducing the creases that appear on the nose when you smile.
• Lip Flip – Enhancing the shape of the upper lip for a fuller appearance.
• Jawline Slimming – Relaxing the masseter muscle to create a more contoured facial profile.

Botox results typically appear within 3 to 7 days and last around 3 to 6 months, depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle factors. Regular treatments help maintain results for a long-term youthful look.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles, dermal fillers restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and plumpness.

Common Uses of Dermal Fillers:

• Lip Enhancement – Achieving fuller, more defined lips with natural softness.
• Cheek Augmentation – Adding volume to the cheeks for a lifted, youthful appearance.
• Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines) Correction – Smoothing deep creases around the mouth.
• Marionette Lines Softening – Reducing lines that run from the mouth corners to the chin.
• Under-Eye Filler (Tear Troughs) – Minimizing hollow or dark under-eye circles for a refreshed look.
• Chin and Jawline Contouring – Enhancing facial definition and symmetry.

Dermal fillers provide instant results, which can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

Botox vs. Dermal Fillers: Which One is Right for You?

While both Botox and fillers are used to combat signs of aging, they serve different purposes. Botox is best for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by muscle movement), while fillers are ideal for static wrinkles (wrinkles caused by volume loss and skin sagging).

If you’re unsure which treatment is right for you, our experts at Synovia Health can assess your facial structure and aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan. In many cases, a combination of Botox and fillers provides the best results for a naturally youthful look.

The Treatment Process at Synovia Health

At Synovia Health, we prioritize patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction. Here’s what you can expect during your Botox or filler treatment:

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with our experienced aesthetic specialists. We assess your facial structure, discuss your concerns, and recommend the best treatment approach tailored to your needs.

2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort, especially for filler injections.

3. Injection Process: Using ultra-fine needles, Botox or fillers are strategically injected into targeted areas to achieve natural-looking results. The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, making it an ideal “lunchtime treatment” with minimal downtime.

4. Post-Treatment Care: You can resume most daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours.

5. Results & Follow-up:

• Botox results gradually appear over 3-7 days, peaking around 2 weeks.
• Filler results are immediate, with optimal effects visible once any swelling subsides.
• A follow-up appointment ensures your results meet your expectations.
