Dermal Fillers in Wesley Chapel
If you’re looking to enhance or improve your facial appearance in Wesley Chapel, your dental team is more than qualified to help both with BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers! Injectable fillers, specifically in the areas of the lips, perioral area (around the lips), and cheeks can effectively reverse the effects of facial volume loss, add volume to lips and lift the cheeks, and fill wrinkles and folds.
Dr. Luz Hernandez provides non-surgical facial aesthetic procedures which will dramatically improve your appearance. Using in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and extensive experience treating the muscles responsible for mastication and facial expressions, Dr. Hernandez can help you achieve ideal and natural looking results that still allow for freedom of expression.
JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® family of Dental Fillers
Dermal Fillers are used to treat volume loss and mild to severe folds and wrinkles. JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® are a class of fillers containing Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is a polysaccharide normally found in the tissue of the body. Evidence suggests that HA prompts your body to make more collagen and elastin, keeps your skin moisturized, boots elasticity and reduces scarring. HA is the main component of what gives your skin its structure and is responsible for that plump and hydrated look!
Why Your Dental Team Can Provide Facial Aesthetic Treatments
Skilled dentists perceive training in the function, anatomy, and musculature of the jaw and face as part of their dental school training. Deciding where to inject Botox® and facial fillers isn’t simply a matter of looking at the surface level of the skin - it’s about understanding the muscles underneath and how they interact with each other, too.
You don’t need to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for facial aesthetic treatments when your dentist has received advanced training in treating the muscles of mastication and facial expression. Providing detailed evaluation and consultation, Dr. Luz will focus on any elements of the aging process adversely affecting you, from frown lines, to pursed lips, downturned lines on the corner of the mouth and more, to make sure your facial expressions match the communications you want to impart and the way you feel inside.
Cosmetic and dermal fillers are a natural complement to any of our cosmetic dentistry treatments, providing a simple yet complete smile makeover. Perhaps you’ll want to schedule a Juvederm or Restylane treatment after your next dental cleaning!
