Medical Aesthetics - Botox and Dermal Filler

---

At the Amistad Clinic, we believe that the application for the improvement of a patient's appearance should be done by the skilled hands of a medical professional which is why the consultation with our medical provider is the key first step in the successful application of Botox or Dermal Fillers.

Botulinum Toxin a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium A, can relax the muscles on areas of the face which cause wrinkles associated with facial expressions. Treatment with Botox® can cause our facial expression lines or winkles to essentially disappear. Areas most frequently treated are: a) glabellar area of frown lines, located between the eyes; b) crow’s feet (lateral areas of the eyes); and c) forehead wrinkles. Botox® is diluted to a very controlled solution and when injected into the muscles with a very thin needle, it is almost painless. Clients may feel a slight burning sensation while the solution is being injected. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes and the results last 3-5 months. With repeated treatments, the results may tend to last longer.

The Amistad Clinic uses hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a type of sugar (polysaccharide) that is present in body tissues, such as in the skin and cartilage. It is is able to combine with water and swell when in gel form, causing a smoothing/filling effect.  The Amistad Clinic uses BELOTERO BALANCE which is a hyaluronic acid injectable filler designed to integrate into facial skin tissue. The unique manufacturing process for BELOTERO BALANCE yields a soft and cohesive gel that, once injected, instantly fills the  skin to help smooth moderate-to-severe etched-in lines and wrinkles. While the product is versatile enough to handle moderate nasolabial  folds (smile lines around the mouth), it may be an ideal option for  treating delicate areas such as etched-in smile lines and vertical lip  lines (thin lines that appear above and around the lips).
