What Do You Do When You Wake Up One Day & See Wrinkles You Never Noticed Before
There are things in life that we notice but doesn't really capture our attention. We’ve probably seen a wrinkle and thought it was a typical sign of aging.
But then one day you notice that what you see in the mirror doesn’t match what you feel on the inside. You try to continue with your daily routine but the wrinkles you see still bother you.
This is the typical story we hear with patients that come in for a consultation at A’nis Aesthetics. They are not wanting to turn back the hands of time to look but rather seeking a renewed and refreshed look 20 years old again that allows them to feel comfortable in their skin.
Aging is a Disease Process
The natural aging process changes each layer of our face starting with the bone, it’s deepest support structure.
Our bones are actually shrinking or reabsorbing. On top of the bone is fat, muscle, and another layer of fat. The fat layers in our face shrink and collect in unwanted areas. The muscles of our face become bulky and stronger in some areas while in others become weaker.
The skin loses collagen all on its own starting before our 20s. Our years of sun exposure and other stressors causes even further breakdown of the skin.
The culmination of all these changes is what you see when you look in the mirror. Therefore, our approach is to incorporate Botox in conjunction with medical grade skin care and advanced facial treatments.
We go for the Natural Look Never Overdone
BOTOX is not a quick fix, since takes time for the product to activate and block the nerve messages and relax the injected muscles. The smoothing effect appears about appear a few days after the injections have relaxed the muscles in the treatment area. We typically recommend waiting two weeks to see how the muscle fully took to the Botox injections before determining if more Botox is needed.

Is it time to take the plunge and try BOTOX to enhance my look?That depends on the wrinkles you want to smooth. If you have crow’s feet, creases between your brows (11s), and forehead lines, BOTOX injections genuinely perform.
-
Does BOTOX have side effects?BOTOX has been injected millions of times worldwide, and it has proven to be safe and effective. The only side effects may be some bruising and possible slight swelling at the injection sites. Some patients may have a slight headache for a few hours after their injections, but these side effects pass quickly. The only real risk with BOTOX is when practitioner error causes the treatment to be injected into the wrong muscle, leading to issues like droopy eyelids. Our team is thoroughly trained in BOTOX injections, and bring an extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to the table, so you can be confident in your incredible results!

How often will I need BOTOX injections?This answer will differ person to person depending upon how your body metabolizes or responds to Botox. On average, BOTOX lasts about three to four months.
-
What does the injection feel like?BOTOX is injected with a very fine needle just beneath the skin. Our patients tell us it feels like a minor pinprick. The sensation is so minor that there is typically no need for topical numbing cream before your BOTOX injections, although we can provide the numbing cream if you desire. There are other distractions techniques that we are able to utilize as well in order reduce the potential discomfort.
-
Should I worry about pain?BOTOX is frequently known as a “lunchtime procedure” because it takes just ten to fifteen minutes to complete. When our certified practitioners inject BOTOX, they use a very fine needle to keep you comfortable and eliminate the need for any kind of topical numbing cream. Once your injections are completed, you are free to return to work or your usual activities immediately.

What are the Benefits of Nano Needling?Nano needling boosts the skin’s absorption of the active ingredients by delivering it directly into the top layers of the epidermis. This results in the increased collagen and elastin production, which leaves skin rejuvenated by reducing fine lines, lifting and toning skin, and decreasing dark spots. Comfortable and Noninvasive. Nano needling is remarkably gentle; it doesn’t require the use of numbing cream. The treatment takes about an hour to complete and because it is noninvasive, there is no need for any recovery period or downtime. This means you can come in for a treatment and carry on with your say with no interruptions.

Who is a candidate for microdermabrasion?Microdermabrasion can reduce the visibility of blemishes on your skin's surface. If you have fine lines, dull skin tone, uneven texture, clogged pores, sun damage, and scars, then microdermabrasion might be right for you. It is safe and effective for women and men that would like clearer, healthier skin. These treatments are most often performed on the face; however, it may also benefit your chest, neck, and hands. Microdermabrasion should not be performed on skin with an open wound or a chronic condition, like acne or rosacea.
