Botox® and JUVÉDERM® Treatments in Baton Rouge

Botox Cosmetic is a prescription injectable treatment from Allergan Aesthetics. It temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to smooth fine lines and dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions such as squinting, frowning, and raising the eyebrows.

These anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used to temporarily improve the appearance of:

• Forehead lines
• Crow's feet around the eyes
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Eleven lines, also known as glabellar lines

Every face moves differently, so treatment location and dosage are selected according to the patient's muscle activity, facial structure, and desired degree of wrinkle reduction. Appointments are typically brief, and many patients return to their regular activities shortly afterward. Results develop gradually, are temporary, and vary by individual.

A lip flip is different from adding volume with lip filler injections. A small amount of a neurotoxin may be placed near the upper lip to temporarily relax specific muscles and allow more of the lip to show. A lip flip does not add volume in the same way a dermal filler does. Because a lip flip is not an FDA-approved use of BOTOX® Cosmetic, its potential benefits, limitations, and suitability should be discussed during an individual consultation.

JUVÉDERM is a collection of hyaluronic acid, or HA, fillers from Allergan Aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and helps attract moisture and support fullness in the skin. Different JUVÉDERM formulas are developed for specific facial areas and goals.

Depending on the product selected and the patient's needs, JUVÉDERM dermal fillers may support:

• Restoring facial volume in the cheeks
• Cheek and chin augmentation
• A natural-looking lip plump and contour
• Lip filler injections for added fullness or definition
• Softening smile lines and nasolabial folds
• Improving moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
• Addressing marionette lines around the lower face
• Enhancing overall facial contour and balance

Results may be visible soon after treatment, although temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or other effects can influence the initial appearance. A consultation is necessary to determine which JUVÉDERM formula, treatment area, and amount may be appropriate. Not every product within the collection is intended for every part of the face.

Botox addresses muscle movement and is primarily used for dynamic wrinkles. JUVÉDERM addresses volume and contour by adding or restoring fullness beneath the skin. A lip flip changes upper-lip movement, while lip filler injections physically add volume and definition. Some patients may benefit from one treatment, while others may be candidates for both as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Successful injectable treatment begins with a careful assessment. During your consultation, we review the areas you would like to address, your facial proportions, muscle movement, medical history, medications, previous treatments, desired degree of change, and aftercare needs. We also explain who will perform your treatment, the provider's applicable credentials, and the medical oversight involved in your care.

Before treatment begins, we evaluate your concerns and develop a plan based on your anatomy and goals. The skin may be cleansed before the selected product is administered in carefully chosen areas. Treatment experiences differ according to the product, number of areas addressed, and individual sensitivity.

Botox results develop over time as targeted muscle activity decreases, while JUVÉDERM results may be visible more quickly because the filler adds volume beneath the skin. Neither treatment is permanent, and follow-up recommendations vary.
