In La Jolla and San Diego – Facial Rejuvenation with BOTOX® Cosmetic and Restylane®

Torrey Pines Dermatology, headquartered in La Jolla and serving all of San Diego, offers Restylane®, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and other facial rejuvenation therapies to cosmetic dermatology patients throughout the area. Injectable products such as Restylane® and BOTOX® Cosmetic offer our facial rejuvenation patients an attractive combination of safety, convenience, and aesthetically pleasing, remarkably natural results. With dermal fillers and other injectables, you can reverse the visible effects of aging symptoms and restore the natural, ageless beauty of your face.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

At Torrey Pines Dermatology, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are among the most popular facial rejuvenation treatments available. A diluted solution based on the botulinum-A toxin, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are completely safe and has been approved by the FDA for a variety of medical and cosmetic applications. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections relax the facial muscles that are responsible for stubborn wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, forehead, and elsewhere on the face. When these muscles relax, the skin becomes smoother, and wrinkles fade or disappear entirely.

The BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment process is quick, convenient, safe, and essentially painless. Your skin care professional will inject precise amounts of the product into the muscles that require treatment. The injection process takes about an hour, after which patients can return to their normal activities immediately. As the injections take effect over the next week, the facial muscles will relax, smoothing away wrinkles and fine lines to produce a more youthful appearance that will last for up to six months.

Possible results with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are noticeable, but subtle. Unlike patients who undergo a full facelift or other surgical procedures, BOTOX® Cosmetic patients will not appear dramatically different after treatment. They will look like themselves, but with the youth and vitality that is associated with smoother, more even skin. Patients at Torrey Pines Dermatology in La Jolla, serving San Diego, are frequently amazed by the facial rejuvenation results BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane® and other convenient injectable products help them achieve.

Restylane®

Restylane® treatments are used to physically fill in wrinkles, blemishes, and lines, making the patient’s skin appear smoother, healthier and more beautiful. The active ingredient in Restylane® is hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally present in the body. Restylane® is synthesized in a laboratory, making it safer than animal-based dermal fillers, like collagen, that sometimes cause allergic reactions.

Depending on the size of the area to be treated, Restylane® injections take no more than an hour or so to apply. Your facial rejuvenation expert will first apply a topical anesthetic to ensure that the procedure is painless. After a series of Restylane® injections in the appropriate places, the procedure is complete. Patients are free to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Like many other dermal filler options available at our San Diego-area clinic in La Jolla, Restylane® acts in two ways to produce longer-lasting facial rejuvenation than is possible with less advanced alternatives. Restylane® fills in wrinkles for several months before breaking down. As the product is absorbed by the body, it stimulates the production of collagen fibers in the skin that are responsible for texture and elasticity. These added fibers will produce impressive results that typically last for many months and look completely natural.

Perlane®

Like Restylane®, Perlane® is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. However, Perlane® contains a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid, making it more useful for treating larger folds and wrinkles. Perlane® is very safe and effective, with long-lasting results and very few side effects.

JUVEDERM™ Ultra & Ultra Plus

JUVEDERM™ Ultra and Ultra Plus are breakthrough products in the non-animal based fillers known as hyaluronic acid. These FDA approved products have an especially smooth consistency and are used to plump the lips and correct moderate to sever facial wrinkles and folds.

JUVEDERM™ Ultra and Ultra Plus are known to last up to 1 year. At Torrey Pines Dermatology, your cosmetic provider can determine the right area of treatment and the proper type of JUVEDERM™ to use for your skin care needs.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres and is used to fill deep wrinkles and facial lines. Because calcium hydroxylapatite is found naturally in the body, facial rejuvenation patients who choose Radiesse® are at almost no risk of allergic reaction. As Radiesse® breaks down, it stimulates collagen growth in the skin, and the resulting benefits last for up to two years.

Sculptra™

Sculptra™ is a dermal filler containing polylactic acid. This synthetic substance carries no risk of allergic reaction, making nearly everyone eligible to undergo treatment. Sculptra™ produces thicker, smoother, healthier skin that lasts for up to two years. These results may take several weeks to become apparent.

Sclerotherapy

Many patients who wish to minimize the appearance of unsightly, easy-to-notice spider veins look to sclerotherapy as a safe, effective treatment option. Each sclerotherapy treatment session consists of injecting a specially formulated fluid solution directly into the targeted veins, causing the veins to harden and gradually fade.

Hand Rejuvenation

After rejuvenating the face, neck, and chest, many patients find their hands to be in need of improvement as well. Here at Torrey Pines Dermatology, we are able to complete your rejuvenation experience with our hand rejuvenation package. Sclerotherapy is used to remove large, protruding veins, C-3 laser treatment removes brown spots, and Radiesse® is used to restore volume and youthful fullness to the hands.
