Botox For Gummy Smile

Healthy Solutions Medspa

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we offer a treatment to correct the “gummy smile” that is done by using Botox.

A gummy smile is when you smile, your gums show below your upper lip. This can be treated with Botox to create an even more natural, beautiful smile!

What Can Cause a Gummy Smile? 

Gummy smile can be caused by a few things, including:

  • The way your jaw bone is developed within the gum tissue
  • Genetics, like small upper lips, short teeth, or excess gum tissue
  • A muscle in your upper lip lifting, causing more gum to show

How to treat your gummy smile with Botox

Gummy smiles are treated with BOTOX® in between your upper lip and nose. This takes the muscle in your smile and freezes it to relax your smile to not show your gums. The gummy smile correction treatment with BOTOX® is not permanent and can last three to four months until another treatment can be done.

How Many Units of Botox Would I Need?

Gummy smiles are usually treated with a small amount of BOTOX®. Only 4 to 8 units are typically needed to treat a gummy smile with Botox and the price for the treatment can range from $140-$180.

Could I enhance my gummy smile even more?

Another option to combat gummy smiles is to add filler to the lips along with BOTOX®. This creates more volume in the lips, and further enhances your lips and smile. 

If you are looking to correct you gummy smile and you live in or near the Bucks County, PA area, Schedule a consultation at our Medspa online or call us at (267) 332-5567

Treating Melasma with the Clear + Brilliant Laser

clear and brilliant treatment

Looking for a solution to treat melasma? 

Look no further than our Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment. This treatment requires almost no downtime and is not painful.

Being a non-invasive laser, it requires no surgery or injections, while providing noticeable results.

What is Melasma? 

Melasma is a hyperpigmentation skin disorder that is difficult to treat. It can look like your skin is uneven, with discoloration and dark spots. Certain things can irritate or trigger melasma, like hormones and the sun. 

Melasma can be considered chronic, in which case treatment would be the way to handle it rather than letting it work its way out on its own. This is when we would recommend the Clear + Brilliant Treatment to our patients. 

Who gets Melasma?

According to research at the Cleveland Clinic, women are much more likely to get melasma than men, but it is possible in everyone. If you have darker brown skin or tend to tan well, you are more likely to get melasma than those who have fair skin. Pregnant women are the most likely to get melasma due to hormones, although the relation between hormones and melasma is unknown! 

How can Melasma be treated?

Melasma can be treated with the Clear + Brilliant Laser’s 1927-nm diode laser, which helps with hyperpigmentation, sun spots, anti-aging, freckles, and more. Along with in office treatments like the Clear and Brilliant laser, it is also recommended to treat melasma with topical skin lighteners like hydroquinone to maintain post-treatment results.

What is the Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment?

The Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment is a popular laser used to improve melasma, skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, texture, sun damage, and reduce pore size. It’s commonly used to treat the face, neck, and chest. This treatment duration is about 30-45 minutes long. 

What does Clear + Brilliant feel like?

The provider will apply numbing cream before treatment to ensure the treatment is comfortable. Patients have described that after receiving the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, their face felt warm, almost like a sunburn but that feeling went away within the hour. 

What is the downtime after the Clear and Brilliant treatment?

Clear + Brilliant only requires about 2-3 hours of downtime, which is really great compared to most lasers which require multiple days. Following treatment, you may experience some pink/red tones to the skin, however this only will last a few hours. The next week or so after treatment, your skin will feel like sandpaper, but it is not visible, just noticeable to the touch. 

How many sessions should be completed?

Clinical studies have shown best results after at least 4 treatments of Clear + Brilliant to treat melasma, one month apart from each other. Once completing treatment, your skin will feel softer and skin tone will improve, giving you a nice glow! At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we offer single treatments as well as packages of Clear + Brilliant treatments.

When will I see results?

Results will be noticeable about a week or two after treatment is completed, and can last months depending on your factors like the products you use for your skin post treatment and protection from the sun.

What is the price of Clear + Brilliant?

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, Clear + Brilliant starts at $399, depending on which level of treatment you receive, in which the provider can speak to you about to decide which is best for you. We also offer packages of 3 and 6 Clear + Brilliant treatments which are discounted. 

Who is a candidate for Clear + Brilliant?

Clear + Brilliant is safe for all skin types and can be used to treat melasma on the forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose. 

Is the Clear + Brilliant laser safe on darker skin?

The Clear and Brilliant laser is FDA approved and is safe for darker skin because of it’s low energy and low density.

According to a white paper on “The Safety and Efficacy of Treatment with a 1927-nm Diode Laser With and Without Topical Hydroquinone for Facial Hyperpigmentation and Melasma in Darker Skin Type” by Wilson, Jones, Bolton, Larsen, and Guillen, “no worsening of hyperpigmentation or melasma was observed” for patients with darker skin being treated with the Clear and Brilliant laser 1927-nm hand piece.

Another white paper on “Treatment of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation in Patients with Darker Skin Types Using a Low Energy 1927 nm Non-Ablative Fractional Laser” concluded that Clear and Brilliant “1927 nm wavelength laser is a safe and effective modality for improving post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in patients with darker skin types.”

What is a lip flip?

What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a treatment that enhances the lips with Botox injections to create a fuller appearance. 

How Much is a Lip Flip?

Lip flips use very little amount of Botox (between 4-8 units) and is a more affordable treatment when comparing it to lip filler. At Healthy Solutions Medspa, the lip flip can range from $55-$110.

How Long Does it Last?

Just like Botox on the face, Botox on the lips (lip flips) lasts around three to five months.

Does a lip flip hurt?

Patients have found lip flips to be almost pain-free. There is a small sting when being injected into the lip, however the pain is very well tolerable. The actual treatment time is 5 -10 minutes.

If you want fuller lips, consider Lip Filler

Patients find a lot of times they want additional volume in the lips after receiving a lip flip. We recommend thinking about adding lip filler to your lips along with the lip flip to add volume.

Post-Care

After having a lip flip, patients should avoid working out for 24 hours, due to the injection holes needing to be clean. Bruising may occur, so icing the area may relieve some of the bruising and swelling. Avoid sleeping face down.

Am I a Good Candidate for a lip flip?

If you have a thin upper lip, show a lot of your gums when you smile, or want a small change to your lips, this would be a great procedure for you.

Where Can I Get a Lip Flip?

Have you heard of the liquid facelift?

Liquid facelift bucks county

You may know someone who had a facelift, but have you heard about something called the liquid facelift? It’s a term used for a certain non-surgical treatment that can provide the benefits of a facelift without incisions, anesthesia or any downtime. Let’s cover the basics so you know why the liquid facelift has become a popular treatment for so many people. 

What is a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation. These dermal fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds, leaving you looking years younger in the process. Generally Botox injections and dermal filler injections such as Juvederm or Restyalne are used for liquid facelifts.

What can you expect with a Liquid Facelift?

During a liquid facelift, dermal fillers and Botox are used to add volume, lift, contour the midface.

These dermal fillers are then used to sculpt and refine the jawline, chin, add volume to lips and reduce wrinkles from the forehead with Botox. 

The liquid facelift is highly customizable and four syringes or more of dermal fillers may be needed depending on the areas of your face you want to focus on.

It’s  best to get a consultation at a reputable medspa with a certified medical injector who will create a liquid face lift plan for you. 

The results of a liquid facelift can last anywhere between a year or two, depending on the dermal fillers used.

To see if you are a candidate for a liquid facelift, it’s best to start with a consultation.

If you are looking into doing a liquid facelift or searching for a provider that does lip injections, jawline contouring, or would like to reduce wrinkles from your forehead with Botox and you live in or around the Bucks County, PA area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online, or give us a call at (267) 332-5567.

Everything You Need To Know About Eye Filler

Healthy Solutions Medspa

Tired of looking tired? Others feel the same, and far more than you’d think! If you dislike your under eye bags, under eye filler may provide a solution.

Why Get An Under Eye Filler Treatment?

“Dark circles” under your eyes, or “under-eye bags” are both umbrella terms that can describe a wide variety of under eye issues. 

If you are self-conscious or struggle with the appearance of the skin under your eyes, you typically are not speaking generally about something that “bothers you a little”. Under eye dark circles can be blindly apparent. 

With the stigma that comes with dark circles, not doing anything about them can really do some damage to your everyday confidence. 

The stigma that has, and sadly will always, walk hand in hand with under eye bags, is exhaustion. 

No matter how much information we are aware of, we will still find ourselves assuming the woman across the room with dark circles didn’t catch enough sleep the evening before. 

Even though we are aware the causes of dark circles have nothing to do with our energy, without the best concealer makeup, we find ourselves being asked if we are sick, tired, or working too hard.

Basically, when it comes to under-eye bags, there is no limit to how much time and money we will spend exploring products, treatments and types of makeup to address the issue. It is exhausting work to not look exhausted. 

Thanks for the irony of Mother Nature… always a jokester. 

What Is An Under Eye Filler Treatment?

An under eye filler treatment is when hyaluronic acid is injected into targeted areas under the skin beneath the eye or tear trough in order to minimize hollows, dark circles, and to correct age related volume loss. 

Is Under Eye Filler Treatment Safe?

The use of dermal fillers for tear troughs have been done “off label” by many practitioners over the years, but recently, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC was FDA approved for the improvement of infraorbital hollows.

With an under eye filler treatment with Juvederm Volbella for under eye bags, you won’t need to hide behind concealer any longer.. 

How Long Does Under Eye Filler Last?

You can expect the results to last for up to one year with Juvederm Volbella for the under eyes.

What Areas Can Be Injected With Under Eye Filler?

Tear troughs – Filler may be used to smooth out the curved line under your eyes that starts at the inside corner of the eye and runs down toward the cheek.

Under eye bags – Filler may be used to erase or soften any other fine lines and wrinkles underneath the eyes. The skin underneath the eye is very thin and prone to wrinkles.

How Much Is Under Eye Filler?

The treatment price can vary depending on how much under eye filler you will need which is established during your consultation, but typically can range between $800 – $1600. 

Where Can I Get Under Eye Filler?

It’s important to find a reputable medical office or medical spa that offers FDA approved dermal fillers like Juvederm Volbella and that have a great reputation.

Always do your research about the practice on Google and read their reviews. And, if you live in Bucks County, PA and looking for a provider that specializes in under eye filler, contact us at (267) 332-5567 or fill out a form online here.

Why the Hydrafacial is great to do in the Winter

Best Hydrafacial in Bucks County

The Hydrafacial is quickly becoming one of the most sought after skin treatments available. With immediate effects and no downtime, it became obvious that this elite but affordable treatment was going to be a patient favorite. When is the perfect time to give this treatment a try? Right now, in the winter! Why? We are here to tell you!

THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION

We all know that staying hydrated is important to our overall health, because our bodies are made up of 70% water! What is the human body’s biggest organ? Believe it or not, it is the skin!  Therefore, the skin stands to gain the most from hydration. That means, we not only need to drink enough water, but that external steps such as getting treatments like the Hydrafacial are also necessary in keeping our skin hydrated.

 

WHAT HAPPENS TO DEHYDRATED SKIN?

The outermost layer of the skin is responsible for flushing toxins and carrying nutrients to skin cells. Without the proper amount of moisture to do so, dead cells remain on the skin to clog pores and create uneven texture, and healthy cells become thinner, resulting in low elasticity and more wrinkles. Dehydrated skin can not only be visually unappealing, but it can have fairly uncomfortable and sometimes painful effects. Not taking the extra steps to treat our skin to some well deserved moisture can lead to cracked and even bleeding skin.

 

COLD WEATHER AND DRY SKIN

Chillier temperatures combined with lower humidity levels is a recipe for dry air, which can draw moisture directly from your skin. Even with avoiding the cold, harsh, winter winds outside, your skin is subjected to the dry elements of winter with indoor heat. Not only that, but our pores will contract in cold temperatures to preserve warmth, limiting the ability for oxygen to reach skin cells and help them regenerate.

 

BUT DOESN’T DRY SKIN MEAN LESS BREAKOUTS?

This is probably the biggest and most commonly believed myths regarding the skin. People often mistake drier skin, to less oily skin. However, when skin becomes dry, it actually reacts by over producing natural oils to compensate for the lack of moisture. These oils sit on the skin and form blemishes. Without excess moisture to form new and healthy skin cells, dead cells will camp out on the face and clog pores. Excess dead skin paired with excess oils can result in a full on break out! 

 

MASKNE IN THE WINTER

Unfortunately, many of us are all too familiar with the term “Maskne”. Acne caused while wearing a face mask, aka “Maskne”, happens when our pores become clogged as a result of friction from certain materials, alongside heat and humidity under our masks. Exfoliation is key in preventing breakouts, but the ingredients found in at-home exfoliants, such as acids and retinol, have the ability to dry skin out. With our skin already susceptible to being parched and flaky in the winter, this is hardly ideal.

 

WHY THE HYDRAFACIAL IS THE SOLUTION

 

The common factor in all winter skin problems is a lack of hydration. Facials have obvious benefits for all skin types throughout the entirety of the year which includes the removal of dead skin cells, the cleansing of clogged pores and the relaxation of facial muscles. The Hydrafacial, however, uses a tool that makes extracting dead skin and ‘gunk’ non-invasive, and that manually infuses your skins special serum, which is customized based on your skins specific needs.  This means, that your skin becomes more hydrated than it would with a regular facial, and during a time when it needs it the most. That means you can schedule your treatment regardless of any holiday commitments! 

 

If you are looking to have an amazing Hydrafacial done in the Bucks County and surrounding area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online or by contacting our office at (267) 332-5567.
