What is the Difference Between Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Juvederm, and Sculptra?

Apr 10, 2022 Ultimate Image Posted in Aging

A variety of options are now available to help both men and women reduce the appearance of wrinkles, restore lost volume, and improve facial texture. Four of the most popular options are Botox®, Dysport®, the JUVÉDERM® Collection of fillers, and Sculptra®.

Botox®

Botox® is an injectable medication based on botulinum toxin. Botox® is injected into the muscles of the face to block neuron signals that cause the facial muscles to contract, causing temporary paralysis of those muscles which also smooths the wrinkles in the treatment area. Botox® is a tried-and-true procedure that has helped millions of people reduce the appearance of mild to moderate wrinkles all over their face, along with preventing migraines, reducing excessive sweating, and correcting chronic muscle spasms.

Kiss Thin Lips Goodbye With Restylane® Silk

Feb 20, 2022 Ultimate Image Posted in Beauty Tips

Everyone wants plump, kissable lips that are ready for their close-up. However, some people are genetically predisposed to have thin lips, and our lips naturally lose volume with time. To compound this issue, the skin on and around the lips (which is already quite thin and sensitive) continues to thin as we get older. This can leave you with a deflated, wrinkled, and saggy mouth area. Read More →

Can Microneedling Reverse the Signs of Aging?

Feb 10, 2022 Ultimate Image Posted in Aging

If you’re dealing with signs of aging on your face, such as wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, hyperpigmentation, or texture issues, then you’ve probably been on the lookout for any treatment or procedure that promises to give you back the skin of your youth.

There are a lot of claims out there about topical products that will reverse the signs of aging, but most of them are just blowing smoke.

Why You Should Consider Using Medical Grade Skin Care Products

Jan 25, 2022 Ultimate Image Posted in Skin Care

If you’ve purchased a truck load of cosmetic skin care products with lackluster results, you’re not alone. Every year, billions of dollars are spent in the U.S. alone on over-the-counter skin care products, also known as drugstore products. These products are inexpensive and made to suit multiple skin needs and types, catering to a very broad audience.

However, for people with more specific skin care needs, drugstore products can be less than effective. That’s because skin care products labeled as cosmetic are not allowed to actually make structural or biological changes in the skin, so their results are often just on the surface. For results that penetrate down into the deep layers of the skin and bring about real change, you’ll need medical grade products instead. Read More →
