Chemical Peels at Livinz MedSpa in Bronxville, NY
Dermal fillers are highly versatile injectable treatments designed to restore lost facial volume, smooth out deep lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At Livinz MedSpa in Bronxville, NY, we use premium FDA-approved fillers to achieve natural, balanced, and transformative results.
The Science of Volume Restoration
As we age, we naturally lose fat, collagen, and bone density in the face, leading to hollowed temples, flattened cheeks, and deeper lines around the mouth. Dermal fillers are composed of substances like Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body, which attracts and holds water. When injected, HA fillers instantly plump the skin and provide structural support, effectively reversing the signs of volume loss.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical treatments due to their immediate and broad-ranging benefits:
- Restore Facial Volume: Replenish volume in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows.
- Smooth Deep Lines: Correct deep lines and folds, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the mouth to the chin).
- Enhance Contours: Define and augment lips, jawlines, and chins for better facial harmony.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
- Natural Results: Our experienced injectors focus on subtle enhancement to ensure results look natural, not overdone.
Your Dermal Filler Treatment Experience
Your treatment journey at Livinz MedSpa begins with a detailed consultation to ensure the plan aligns perfectly with your aesthetic goals and our philosophy of natural results.
The Procedure
- Consultation: We assess your facial structure and volume loss to create a customized treatment map.
- Numbing: A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort. Many fillers also contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort during injection.
- Injection: Our skilled injector uses a fine needle or cannula to strategically place the filler beneath the skin. The process is precise and usually takes under an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Results and Longevity
Results from dermal filler injections are visible immediately after the treatment. The longevity of the results varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism. Generally, results can last anywhere from six months to over a year. Follow-up treatments help maintain your rejuvenated look.
Potential Side Effects and Post-Care
While chemical peels promise remarkable results, being informed about the healing process is essential. Proper aftercare is crucial for maximizing results and minimizing complications.
Potential Side Effects by Peel Type
The specific side effects you might experience depend on the strength of the peel utilized:
- TCA and Phenol Peels: These medium-to-deep peels can lead to noticeable skin redness, throbbing, and crust formation. Swelling is common and can last about a week, depending on the peel's strength. Following a phenol peel, patients may observe temporary eye swelling and short-term dietary restrictions.
- AHA Peels: As the mildest option, Alpha Hydroxy Acid peels might lead to temporary redness, stinging, flaking, or crusting.
Crucial Recovery Tip
It is absolutely crucial to keep the skin shielded from direct sunlight after undergoing a chemical peel. Freshly peeled skin is extremely sensitive to UV light, making daily, rigorous sun protection mandatory to ensure proper healing and protect your results.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Dermal Fillers and Botox? Dermal fillers restore volume and fill in static wrinkles (wrinkles visible when the face is at rest). Botox (a neurotoxin) relaxes the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles visible when making an expression, like frown lines). They are often used together for a comprehensive anti-aging effect.
Will the filler look natural or fake? Our philosophy is centered on delivering subtle, natural-looking results. By treating underlying volume loss rather than just surface lines, we ensure your results enhance your features without appearing artificial or overfilled.
Is there any downtime? Downtime is minimal. You might experience some temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects typically subside within a few days. You can usually apply makeup the next day.
What areas can be treated with fillers? Fillers are commonly used for lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline, chin, and temples.
