Skin Rejuvenation via BOTOX® Cosmetic – Las Vegas and St. George

Over time, most people develop wrinkles, crows' feet, and other signs of aging on the face. Some opt for surgical solutions such as facelift surgery, but many people decide that they prefer a less invasive alternative. Skin rejuvenation treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, available to the Las Vegas area in St. George from Dr. Robert Rhodes, offer powerful cosmetic benefits with unparalleled safety and convenience. Many patients decide to combine skin rejuvenation with other procedures, such as sclerotherapy or laser skin resurfacing. As our gallery of plastic surgery before-and-after pictures makes clear, these treatments are powerful indeed.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic ranks among the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments on the market, and there is a good reason: it is a safe, convenient, and amazingly effective treatment for facial lines and wrinkles. It has the added benefit of being a long-lasting but temporary treatment, so BOTOX® injections do not represent the same permanent commitment as plastic surgery.

Many facial lines and wrinkles are actually linked to the muscles beneath the skin rather than the skin itself. Over time, as a person's muscles grow accustomed to certain facial expressions and positions, these muscles tense and create wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is so effective because it gently relaxes these muscles, smoothing away the wrinkles they cause and providing powerful, long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

Convenience is one of the most important advantages of skin rejuvenation with BOTOX® Cosmetic. At his St. George practice located near Las Vegas, Dr. Rhodes simply administers injections to the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles. The entire appointment usually takes less than one hour, and most patients describe the treatment process as painless.

After the injections, the muscles gradually relax, and the full benefit of the procedure becomes obvious over the following days. The aesthetic improvement that patients enjoy from BOTOX® injections is subtle and appears very natural. In most cases, the results last several months, but skin rejuvenation patients do eventually need additional treatments to maintain them.

Fat Transplants

Fat transplant, also known as lipoinjection, is a treatment for facial wrinkles in which Dr. Rhodes uses liposuction to remove unwanted fat from one area of the body (often the thighs), processes and purifies the fat, and then injects it to fill wrinkles and smooth the face. It is popular with people who want skin rejuvenation using something naturally present in the human body. This approach avoids the possibility of allergic reaction that accompanies many other dermal fillers.

In addition to skin rejuvenation, fat transplants can also be used for facial augmentation as an alternative to synthetic lip implants or other facial implants. Like other facial injections, fat transplants are less invasive than many alternatives while still providing long-lasting benefits.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a safe, convenient treatment for facial lines and wrinkles. Restylane® is a dermal filler, so called because it is used to fill in wrinkles and to augment the lips. Restylane® is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body and synthesized in a laboratory for maximum safety and purity. With Restylane®, it is possible to fill in wrinkles and crows' feet on most parts of the face, diminishing or eliminating them entirely and bringing about skin rejuvenation that lasts up to six months at a time.

Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel

Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler recently approved by the FDA. It is a laboratory-synthesized product, so allergy testing is not required prior to treatment. Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel is more concentrated than Restylane®, so it is effective enough to treat deep facial lines and wrinkles but precise enough to fill finer lines and wrinkles almost anywhere on the face. Side effects such as mild redness and swelling are almost invariably minor, and the benefits generally last for six months or more.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a quick, convenient, and effective skin rejuvenation treatment. A chemical solution is gently applied to the skin, stripping away damaged outer layers of skin to expose the healthy layers beneath. This process can improve wrinkles, sun damage, and light scarring as well as acne and other blemishes. Different chemical peel formulas tailored to various skin conditions and pigmentations are available at our practice, including the highly popular Vi Peel™, which is famous for painless yet dramatic results and especially effective for darker skin tones.
