Despite the downturn in the economy and the nationwide drop in invasive cosmetic surgery procedures, an American Society of Plastic Surgeons survey of physicians found that minimally invasive procedures, such as facial injections of Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse and Dysport, rose 6 percent this year. Not only are patients finding these treatments to be less costly options to surgery, but are utilizing these treatments as an effective way to appear youthful in the work place.
Facial injections can be used to treat marionette lines around the mouth, smooth eyelid wrinkles, treat forehead wrinkles and frown lines, and treat early jowls. Results of treatments with Botox and Dysport generally last from 3-6 months, whereas those with facial fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse can last 9-18 months. These treatments can be performed with minimal to no downtime with results that are visible shortly after the procedure is performed.
