Dr. Christopher T. Chia, Co-founder and Surgical Director, bodySCULPT®, NYC will be hosting Glow Spa NYC’s “Botox & Fillers” event from 3 pm to 7 pm on November 9th, 2021.
Botox and dermal fillers are minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments – that do not involve surgery – provided through injections, usually in a doctor’s office. The treatments minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions and add fullness to areas that have thinned due to aging.
Botox
Botox or Botulinum Toxin Type A is a cosmetic procedure that enjoys tremendous popularity among Americans who wish to look as young as they feel, because of the excellent aesthetic results it offers. Approved in 2002 by the U.S Food and Drug Administration for cosmetic use, Botox has steadily grown in popularity over the years. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that Botulinum Toxin Type A was ranked first among the top 5 minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in 2020.
Botox treatment temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause frown lines and reduces crow’s feet wrinkles. It can also lift the brows, help turn up the lips and soften the chin area. When used correctly, Botox can dramatically reduce early and moderate signs of aging. The effects typically wear off in three to six months.
Fillers
Sometimes called soft tissue fillers, fillers are substances designed to be injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness. There are different types of dermal fillers available that are designed to treat varying signs of aging – such as those used for plumping up thin lips, filling in shallow areas on the face, decreasing or removing the shadow or wrinkles under the eyes, filling in or softening the look of recessed scars, and softening static wrinkles, especially on the lower face.
