DonnaBellaexperience the new you 

We may love our expression lines because they speak of our experiences, but sometimes they say too much. And if they’re making you look older and more tired than you feel, it may be time to express the real you with Botox®.

From celebrities to politicians to your next-door neighbor, more and more people are having their crow's feet, frown lines and furrows injected with Botox® to smooth them away. In fact, Botox® has rapidly become the most popular of all medically administered cosmetic procedures (surgical and nonsurgical combined), with over 3.8 million procedures performed in 2005 alone.

Want immediate results that creams and lotions can't deliver? Nothing compares with the often dramatic improvements from Botox®, especially for dynamic wrinkles —those that appear when you frown, smile or laugh. Because of its powerful ability to transform faces, there’s an art to Botox®. Administered by specially trained medical professionals, it can smooth lines and lift brows, creating an open, friendlier, more relaxed face with a result that is natural looking and still expressive.

How it works:

Botox® injections temporarily relax the muscles in the forehead and around the eyes. Because the muscles are relaxed, the overlying skin smoothes out, which also prevents new creases from developing. When the Botox® wears off three to six months later, muscles regain movement.

What to expect:

• Visible results in 2 to 7 days
• Results lasting 3 to 6 months
• Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
• No downtime

Add another item to the "life's not fair" list: We work so hard at taking fat off of our bodies, yet the fat in our faces is key to a firm, youthful look. Thankfully, the new breed of wrinkle fillers is extremely effective at leveling the playing field.

Used to plump out smile lines, lips and moderate-to-deep skin creases, these gel-based products restore fullness to areas where collagen has been depleted.  Unlike the standard tight, unnatural look of facelifts, this age-defying treatment is customized for each individual to add volume specifically where its needed, recreating the ample smoothness of youth.

Based on the same hyaluronic acid found in our bodies, Dermal Fillers like Juvaderm® have been shown to last longer than fat and collagen injections by using the body's own moisture to maintain their shape. These fillers can be used to shape facial contours, smooth wrinkles or sculpt lips. The result is a longer-lasting, more youthful and fuller appearance.

How it works:

Fillers plump up the face from underneath the skin, actually filling in the hollows and folds.

For wrinkles, Filler injections produce natural volume under the crease, lifting and smoothing it out. For facial contours, Fillers corrects deep folds and lifts up the skin from cheeks and chin. This provides a fuller shape for the chin or a rounder, more sensual line along the cheeks.

When using Fillers for lip augmentation, the gel is injected into the inside of the upper or lower lip. It is also injected along the lip line. Not only does this produce a fuller, more youthful look, it can also help prevent lipstick from bleeding into the small lines around the lips.

What to expect:

• Results lasting 6 to 9 months
• No downtime
• Less noticeable creasing
• Smoother, more youthful skin
• Fuller lips
