10 Dermal Filler Myths Debunked
Myth #1: All dermal fillers are the same Fact: Dermal fillers differ in chemical composition, longevity, and formulation
The biggest secret to looking younger isn’t really a secret anymore. Botox is a well-known solution to soften the look of wrinkles and reduce the lines that can make you look and feel old. But you may not know that there are a lot of injectable dermal fillers options that can help restore your skin’s youthful appearance and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
At Aesthetica Medical Spa, we offer a variety of anti-aging treatments that can be very effective for minimizing wrinkles and lines. Which are the best for treating your aging issues? To help you decide, we’re going to tell you a little about Dysport, Botox, Kybella, and Juvederm injectable dermal fillers.
Dysport is very similar to Botox, but it contains a different protein. Your Aesthetica Nurse Injector can administer Dysport to relax the facial muscles that result in the deep creases that appear between the eyes (called glabellar lines). These are the lines that appear when you squint, concentrate, or frown. It can also give you a moderate brow lift. Very small amounts of Dysport are injected directly into the facial muscles beneath the creases. The active ingredient in Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, reducing activity and preventing the contraction that can cause frown lines. It usually takes between 3-5 painless injections before you see the softening and smoothing of facial wrinkles.

Botox is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is a neurotoxin created from a bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum. When injected into certain muscle groups, Botox causes these muscles in the face to relax, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, also known as a double chin. Treatments will reduce a double chin and contour the jawline with minimal downtime.
Kybella is a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body, that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells when injected in the area. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat contents.
