Because at Schmakel Smile Design, it\u2019s our business to help you have the beautiful smile you\u2019ve always wanted. But we understand that a beautiful smile extends beyond the teeth and gums. So we added Botox and Juv\u00e9derm treatments to enhance patients’ smiles and facial esthetics . In about an hour (maybe even over your lunch hour) you can have a fresher, younger-looking smile \u2013 one that you just may not be able to stop smiling about.<\/p>\n

About Our Botox Treatments<\/h2>\n

What it is Botox?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Botox serum is derived from a protein produced by a particular form of bacteria. The protein, refined for medical and cosmetic uses, temporarily reduces muscle activity. While it\u2019s best known for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, it has many other uses including combating migraine headaches and jaw pain caused by TMJ. It\u2019s especially effective in softening wrinkles around the mouth, such as those caused by smoking.<\/p>\n

What is involved in a Botox treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When getting a Botox treatment for your lips, the serum isn\u2019t injected into the lip itself; fine needles are used to direct it into the wrinkle lines around the lips, relaxing the muscles and reducing their appearance. Since the needles are extremely fine, most patients experience no, or very little, discomfort. Treatment usually takes only minutes, so you can immediately get back to your normal routine.<\/p>\n

How long does a Botox treatment last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The effects from one Botox treatment will last 3 to 6 months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. Usually, however, the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles shrink.<\/p>\n

How much is a Botox treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Costs for Botox treatments varies, depending upon the extent of your treatment.<\/p>\n

About our Juv\u00e9derm Dermal Fillers<\/h2>\n

What is Juv\u00e9derm?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juv\u00e9derm is the name of a group of injectable hyaluronic acid products used to soften the look of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Hyaluronic acid draws fluid to the treated area, plumping it and reducing the sign of aging. They\u2019re particularly popular for softening the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and for adding volume to the cheek area, giving it a subtle lift and helping to restore contour.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s involved in a Juv<\/strong>\u00e9derm Treatment? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a Botox treatment, Juv\u00e9derm is injected under the skin using a fine needle. All types of Juv\u00e9derm treatments we offer \u2013 Ultra Plus XC, (Extra Comfort) and Plus XC and Voluma XC \u2013 have a local anesthetic as an ingredient. Juv\u00e9derm Ultra Plus XC is used in deeper folds, (such as nasolabial lines), whereas Juv\u00e9derm Plus XC is used in other areas such as the lips. Voluma XC adds volume to the cheek areas, which tend to flatten and leave skin sagging as we age. Each treatment only takes a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

How long does a Juv<\/strong>\u00e9derm treatment last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on the area treated, your skin and the injection technique, a Juv\u00e9derm Ultra Plus treatment will last approximately 6-9 months.\u00a0A Voluma XC treatment typically lasts about 2 years.<\/p>\n

How much is a Juv<\/strong>\u00e9derm treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cost of a treatment varies based the extent of the treatment.<\/p>\n
