SHORT DESCRIPTION OF COSMETIC TREATMENTS PERFORMED BY DR. BELKIN:
Botox - is a widespread treatment nowadays. It is most effective for facial wrinkles of the forehead, frown, and around the eyes. It is also used for eyebrow lift, chin dimples, neck vertical and horizontal lines and cords, and decolte lines (upper chest). Botox works by immobilizing the muscles that produce wrinkles. It lasts 3.5 - 4 months on average. Botox is safe, and the side effects from it are very rare. Botox is also used for migraine headache treatment.
Restylane and Juviderm - are fillers made of hyaluronic acid. They are produced by different companies. They erase or smooth the deep wrinkles on the face and upper chest. They can also shape facial contours, and ENHANCE LIPS. They are injected into the skin under the wrinkles. Juviderm lasts for 12 months. Lip enlargement lasts for about 6 months.
Artefill - is a new revolutionary permanent filler, that was just approved in 2007. It works like Restylane, but last for 5-6 years.
Mesotherapy - is considered the most effective cellulite treatment available. It consists of a series of multiple injections with a very thin needle directly into fat. The medicine injected makes the body chop up its own fat. LIPODISSOLVE - is a newer and stronger version of traditional mesotherapy. The treatment also results in fat reduction. One can loose 2-4 inches of fat. The results are considered permanent. Touch ups may be needed for those who overeat. Normally 6-8 sessions are required, and up to 12-15 for cellulitis on the legs. One can see results only after the 4th treatment. So plan long term commitment, diet and exercise, please.
Sculptura - is a poly-L-lactic acid, that makes the body grow back its own collagen that fills in the age-related hollows on the face. Consists of a series of injections into the face. Helps to restore the whole facial volume beautifully. May need between 2 to 5 treatments depending on the age/facial structure. It lasts for 2-3 years, and then gradually disappears.
