Botox, Dysport & Fillers Q & A
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, resulting in red, scaly patches on the surface of your skin. These patches are itchy and sometimes even painful. There is no cure for psoriasis, so the goal of treatment is to help you manage your symptoms.
Psoriasis patches can appear anywhere on your body, but most frequently occur on your knees, elbows, scalp, and back. The affected skin appears as raised, reddish patches with a silvery white coating. The patches vary in size and may cover a large area of your skin.
There are several types of psoriasis, and each has its own set of symptoms. Psoriasis types include:
- Plaque (most common)
- Guttate
- Inverse
- Pustular
- Erythrodermic
What are fillers?
Like Botox, dermal fillers function to diminish wrinkles and lines associated with aging. Different types of fillers are composed of a variety of biocompatible products. Whereas Botox relaxes muscle activity below the skin’s surface, fillers diminish wrinkles by plumping, lifting, and smoothing skin. Long-term benefits of fillers include inducing one’s own collagen production, resulting in additional anti-aging benefits.
Some fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body that decreases as we age. As a result, and in combination with other factors like sun exposure and heredity, you may lose volume in different areas of your face. Fillers can help restore that volume while minimizing fine lines. Dermal hyaluronic acid fillers are also ideal for plumping up thin lips and are a good nonsurgical option for those who don’t want to take the risks of cosmetic surgery or endure an extended recovery period.
Radiesse® is another injectable skin filler that targets volume loss and facial wrinkles. It’s composed of microspheres of calcium and phosphate ions, which occur naturally in the human body. After Radiesse is injected, thin tissue forms around the microspheres, filling wrinkles and folds and creating a semi-permanent support structure for the skin.
Radiesse results may last up to a full year or more, as your own tissue uses the injected material as a scaffolding to produce new collagen. Over time, the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down, leaving your own collagen intact.
When you want to combat the signs of aging and look and feel like your best self, call Dr. Robin Borkowsky Rubell.
