Anti-Aging Q/A

Aging is natural and Vive Medispa wants you to remember that you’re beautiful at every stage in your life. As you age, it is normal to lines and wrinkles appear on your face where you’ve repeatedly made the same expressions over the years. Your cheeks may start appearing hollow and the skin along your jawline and neck may begin to sag.

As you get older, your body produces less collagen and elastin, which are the elements needed to support the outer layer of skin to keep it looking firm and smooth.

What we offer

At Vive Medispa we offer a variety of treatments to make you feel your best and press pause on aging.

Botox:

Neuromodulators are most often used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to help minimize the signs of aging. Careful treatment of the following areas of the face can help to rejuvenate and revitalize the face:

  • Forehead

  • Around the eyes (crow’s feet)

  • Between the eyebrows (frown lines)

  • Around and at the corners of the mouth

  • Chin

  • Jaw muscles

  • Bunny lines

  • DAO and Platysma

Is It Painful?

Neuromodulator treatment is generally not a painful procedure.

How Long Will It Take To Recover & See Results?

While there is no downtime, you may have a bit of bruising. You will begin to notice effects a few days after treatment, however the full effects won’t be visible until about two weeks post-procedure.

How Long Do Results Last?

Three to six months is the average result time for a single neuromodulator treatment. Repeat treatments are required to maintain results.

Dermal Filler:

Dermal fillers are most often used to plump and smooth out contours where fat naturally gets lost as we age, particularly in the following areas of the face:

  • Temples

  • Tear trough/Underneath the eyes

  • Upper cheeks and cheekbones

  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

  • Lips

  • Nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty, liquid rhinoplasty)

  • Jaw

  • Chin

  • Deep facial or neck wrinkles/scars

Is It Painful?

Dermal filler treatment is generally not a painful procedure, however, some areas of the face may be more sensitive (e.g. around the lips) than others and everyone experiences pain differently. Dermal fillers often contain a pre-mixed local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort that may be experienced. Dr. Nayan also uses a specialized formulation of topical local anesthetic cream to help minimize any discomfort during injection of the dermal filler and also uses specific injection techniques to help reduce pain.

How Long Will It Take To Recover & See Results?

While there is no downtime, you may have a bit of bruising, swelling, or redness in and around the treatment area. You will begin to notice effects immediately after treatment.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results from a single dermal filler treatment can last up to a year, though results vary. Because dermal fillers are naturally metabolized by the body, repeat treatments are required to maintain results.
