FACIAL REJUVENATION WITH INJECTABLES
BOTOX
How and where is Botox applied?
It is a virtually painless technique that consists of the injection of the toxin through a very fine needle. Botox is injected into the muscle of the area to be treated, producing a relaxation and a decrease in muscle strength, which can be partial or total, causing the expression line to be softened or completely erased. This action on the muscles is what explains why Botox primarily treats expression wrinkles, that is, those that appear due to repeated gesticulation. It is applied mainly to the area between the eyebrows (in the wrinkles that form in the center of the eyebrows when an angry gesture is made), the forehead and around the eyes, but it can also be placed on specific points on the face to produce a “lifting” effect, in the neck to reduce lines, in the mandibular area to reduce bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep causing the teeth to fracture), to reduce sweat in the armpits or palms of the hands, as well as others.
It should not be confused with injections of Hyaluronic Acid, which is a filler that is applied to combat wrinkles that have not gone away with Botox, to fill deep wrinkles or furrows, to fill sunken circles under the eyes, to fill lips, to fill cheekbones, chin , among other areas. In general it restructures the tissues, giving it a revitalized and rejuvenated appearance.
To achieve the desired effect it is very important that we can evaluate you. Here at Balance Med Spa we specialize in ensuring that your results look natural and we evaluate the results with you during your 14-day post treatment evaluation.
FILLER WITH HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic Acid is an aesthetic procedure that seeks to restore volume and rejuvenate the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a substance naturally present in the human body, specifically in the skin, which has the ability to retain water and provide hydration and volume. Over time, the amount of Hyaluronic Acid in the skin decreases, which can lead to volume loss, wrinkles and sagging.
How does it work?
During the Hyaluronic Acid filler procedure, one of our specialists will first evaluate you, explain what the procedure consists of, and then carefully inject hyaluronic acid into specific areas of the skin that need volume or correction. In simpler words, becuase the dermal filler has a gel texture it acts by filling wrinkles and fine lines, restoring lost volume and improving skin hydration. Depending on your needs and objectives, different areas of the face can be treated:
- Filling fine lines: around the eyes, forehead, between the eyebrows, around the mouth, neck, décolleté, hands.
- Tear trough: If the area around the eye is sunken, it can be filled with Hyaluronic Acid, removing the look of tiredness and giving vitality to your eyes.
- Deep Lines: or furrows are wrinkles or deep lines that can appear around the middle face area. They are generally found between the eyebrows (when making the gesture of getting angry), the nasolabial folds (the lines next to the nose and mouth), and grooves on the neck. In general, when Hyaluronic Acid is applied to this area, a slight lifting and instant rejuvenation effect occurs.
- Lip augmentation or filling: They can be outlined or filled in to increase their size, giving harmony to your facial features.
- Increase Facial volume: Over the years, volume is lost in the cheekbones and/or cheeks of the face, so by adding volume to this area, it immediately produces a lifting and rejuvenated appearance. It can also be applied to the chin to obtain a more harmonious profile.
- Facial contouring It can be used to stregthen the jaw line and give you more definition in the area. With women, many times a slimmer profile can be achieved. In the case of men, it can be applied to make the face look more square and masculine.
- Face, hand, neck and décolleté hydration: For these cases, we use a type of Hyaluronic Acid with a lighter consistency to hydrate the face and rejuvenate the wrinkled skin of the hands. For the neck and décolleté when can do this treatment to help give a smoother appearance to flaccid and wrinkled skin.

PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP)
What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma is a procedure used to stimulate rejuvenation in the skin and hair. It consists of extracting blood from the patient and using the plasma part of the blood which contains platelets. Although their main function is to clot the blood, they also contain important growth factors that can be used to regenerate tissues in the body. It can be applied topically with microneedles or injected more deeply.
Benefits of PRP
When used in conjunction with cosmetic treatments such as facial rejuvenation and hair restoration, PRP has several benefits:
Facial rejuvenation: The growth factors in PRP, used on their own or with other skin rejuvenation treatments, can promote the production of new collagen, elastin and blood vessels in the treated areas to create tighter, softer skin and restore natural shine.
Hair restoration: For male and female patients experiencing premature hair loss, PRP has been shown to help stimulate hair growth in affected areas. PRP is injected into the scalp to create new tissue growth at the root.
Advantages of PRP
In addition to naturally stimulating the growth of healthy tissue in the skin, PRP has other benefits for patients, including:
Minimally invasive treatment that allows patients to return to normal activities immediately.
PRP is cells from your own body, which eliminates the risk of complications and adverse reactions when reintroduced into your body.
Unlike other rejuvenation treatments that only provide temporary improvement, PRP stimulates new tissue growth for continuous improvement over time.
PRP has no major side effects, a slightly reddened area could remain post treatment, with slight inflammation but it should quickly subside allowing you to enjoy your normal activites.
During your evaluation with our professionals, several factors will be considered to determine if PRP treatment is suitable for you and your skin. There is also the option of doing PRP enriched with vitamins in the event that we suspect that your blood could be lacking quality minerals or protiens.
