As we age, collagen production decreases dramatically. At age 45, skin collagen content is down 25%. At age 55, collagen content is down 35%.
Since collagen is a fibrous protein that gives skin structure and supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA), it helps maintain the skin`s shape and youthful appearance.
Sculptra stimulates collagen production via poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer that restores the underlying skin structure to diminish wrinkles, tighten skin, and add volume. Over time, as the PLLA microparticles are absorbed, collagen and elastin cells are stimulated to increase production.
In clinical studies, 100% of patients showed improvement for up to two years, noting decreased nasolabial folds, increased skin tenacity, and an overall refreshed appearance.

Botox and Dysport are medications classified as neuromodulators because they temporarily impede nerve signal transmission to the muscle fibers. When Botox, or Dysport, is injected into the muscles used for squinting, concentrating, or looking surprised, the muscle contraction becomes weaker, resulting in an improved equilibrium between the skin and musculature. The result — less wrinkles.
*This before/after series illustrates the softening of the muscle contraction when expressing. At rest, the results look bright, smooth, and natural.

A natural lip refresh is what we enjoy best.
Lip treatments are now more stunning and natural than ever before. Aesthetic injection techniques and dermal filler technologies are constantly evolving, resulting in more natural and harmonized results.
Here, Dr. Brigham injected one vial of Revance`s RHA3 for a subtle yet volumized lip. *Please note that the after picture was taken three weeks after treatment once the swelling had subsided.

Light reflection...why so critical?
Light reflection plays a vital role in beautifying the face. A combination of light above the cheekbones and shadow below creates the illusion of plump and projected cheeks. In our youth, facial features are naturally contoured and plump, casting highlights and shadows in all the right places. Our features become angular, long, and flat as we age, dislocating these highlights and shadows.
:camera: Skilled photographers understand this principle and shoot pictures at precise angles to mimic this effect.
:lipstick: Make-up artists also know this trick and apply contours, highlights, and shadows to enhance beauty.
:books: Knowledgeable injectors understand this principle and volumize specific face areas to mimic youthful light reflection.
Here, Dr. Brigham injected two vials of dermal filler in the mid-face area and one vial in the lip area using the principles of light for an overall refresh.

The chin has a significant impact on overall facial aesthetics. Some individuals inherit a smaller chin genetically, while others gradually acquire one with age.
As we age, the pre-jowl area of the mandible resorbs (gradual breakdown into component materials and dispersal in the circulation). This creates the appearance of a recessed chin and lax jawline.
Dermal Fillers can rebalance the profile by adding support back where the bone has diminished. A stiffer product with a high G-prime is best for this treatment.
Here, the chin was treated with the goal of increasing projection and vertical height. A total of .5 ml of Revance`s RHA4 was used at the periosteal level.

When injectors follow current research practices, spend countless hours training and honing best techniques, and truly listen to clients and understand their goals, the results speak for themselves.
Dr. Brigham used .7 mL of HA dermal filler incorporating Dr. Harris` non-surgical lip lift technique. He injected verticle and curved threads using 0.15ml of dermal filler into each tubercle area and 0.05 to left oral commissure to neutralize the slight downturn.
The "after" picture was taken immediately post injections; this client is a midly swollen in the upper vermillion border.
