Love your Zoom Face: Lip filler (Kysse) and Wrinkle Relaxers (Botox and Jeuveau)
This autumn, more and more people across California and the United States are showing up for work – and even school – remotely. You might be spending more time on teleconferencing tools like Zoom than ever before.
To keep your face camera-ready, so that you can feel confident when you see your face reflected in its little square on your screen, turn to the professionals at Apex Dermatology of Westlake Village, California. Karin Harp, MD, FAAD, Aria Vazirnia, MD, FAAD, Kristin Rupert, PA-C, Sherri Anderson, PA-C, and Lani Keene, Licensed Aesthetician offer professional, natural-looking cosmetic treatment options that can rejuvenate and refresh your facial appearance.
Focus on your lips
With only a Zoom window to show your face, your lips draw a larger amount of focus. You can get fuller, natural-looking lips this fall at Apex Dermatology with Restylane® Kysse lip filler. We can use this cosmetic injectable procedure to achieve lip augmentation, and to treat perioral wrinkles.
You will see immediate and near-future improvement in shape, fullness, smoothness, and a natural winning smile. With XpresHAn Technology™ to keep your mouth movements flexible, your great results could last for up to a year.
Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles are some of the first signs of aging that start to show up on your face. Bright teleconferencing lightning can highlight your fine lines and wrinkles, making you appear older than your age.
The skincare specialists at Apex Dermatology can help reduce and prevent visible signs of premature aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. We offer multiple treatment options to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles in your facial area, including:
- Wrinkle relaxation with FDA-approved Botox® and Jeuveau®,
- Multiple areas of the face and neck can be treated to reduce pull in a variety of directions thereby softening, reducing, and preventing wrinkles and crinkles.
- Your skilled Apex provider will design the ideal treatment plan for you with your preferred product.
Both Botox and Jeuveau injections are derived from botulinum toxin. When thoughtfully and comfortably injected in cosmetically safe concentrations, these treatments work to stop the movement of selected muscles in your face. As a result, the motions that cause visible lines and wrinkles to stand out on your face are instead smoothed for a rejuvenated appearance.
Your natural-looking results with Botox or Jeuveau are continued as a maintenance treatment over the year. We participate in loyalty programs for both Botox (Brilliant Distinctions/Alle’) and Jeuveau (Evolux) to help our patients enjoy all perks of these fantastic treatments.
Natural aesthetic results
At Apex Dermatology, our care team makes sure you retain your natural expressiveness as we work with you to achieve your aesthetic and anti-aging goals. With the help of our cosmetic treatment experts, you can boost your self-confidence and bring your best face to bear on all the challenges and successes that might meet you this fall.
