Ultherapy in Mansfield and Southlake Texas at Paragon Plastic Surgery

Ultherapy
Do you need a lift? Are you looking in to doing something for the loose skin on your neck or jowls but are not ready to go under the knife? Ultherapy might be the treatment for you! Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment that is FDA-cleared to lift the skin on the neck and under the chin and the eyebrow. It is also newly approved to treat the lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Here at Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, Dr. Mark A. Bishara and his staff along with Ultherapy can give you a more youthful, natural looking you!
How does it work?
Ultherapy uses safe, time-tested ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. The energy is specifically delivered to the same layer treated during a face lift without cutting or harming the surface of the skin. The ultrasound energy heats the layer between 60-70 degrees centigrade that triggers Neo-collagenesis.
What to expect?
Depending on the area being treated, the treatment may take 60-90 minutes to perform. Your skin will be cleansed and marked appropriately for the area to be treated. As the ultrasound energy is delivered you may feel some mild to moderate discomfort. It is recommended to take some over the counter pain relievers before your treatment and comfort levels vary from patient to patient but the sensation only lasts while the energy is being delivered. You may have some slight redness and swelling that dissipates within a few hours. Some patients may experience  tenderness and bruising that may last a few days.
How many treatments do I need?
Most patients only need one treatment. However, depending on the degree of laxity and collagen-building process, some may benefit from additional treatments. Since the aging process never stops annual touch up treatments can prolong their results.
Is there any downtime?
There is no downtime with Ultherapy. You are able to resume all your normal activities and skin care regimen at home.
When will I see results?
You may see some initial effects from the treatment right away but generally the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months and up to 6-9 months.

Breasts and Botox

 
We all know that botox works for wrinkles but did you know it can work for breasts? Botulinum toxin type A can now play a role in inhibiting one of the most serious breast surgery complications-  capsular contracture.
Capsular contracture is an immune system response to foreign materials in the body. It mostly occurs from complications from breast implants and artificial joint prosthetics. It is followed by the formation of capsules of tightly woven collagen fibers tightening and compressing to the implant. It can occur in different grades and become very discomforting and painful to the touch.
Now researchers have found that botox can reduce the capsule thickness by injecting 0.5 mL into implant pockets and found it had also decreased inflammatory cells. Once validated in a clinical setting, this may be another use for the neurotoxin. In a published article in 2015 in the Archives of Plastic Surgery authors wrote about botox’s role and suggesting it may be effective in reducing keloid scarring, which is similar to implant capsules.
Current uses for Botox include treating facial wrinkles, hyperhydrosis, blepharospasm and migraines. This could be just another beneficial use for the neurotoxin after performing more patient research.

Making the right decision

Botox, xeomin, dysport


Decisions, decisions! As if deciding whether to get help with fine lines and wrinkles wasn’t bad enough. You also have to make a decision on which product to go with. Botox, Xeomin, Dysport which one is best? Is there a difference?
Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are all used to temporarily treat the frown lines between the eyebrows. So is there really something that makes them any different?
Botox is used to paralyze the muscles under the skin that cause those fine lines and wrinkles. Once injected botox prevents the muscles from releasing acetylcholine which is what causes the muscles to contract then causing those wrinkles. Botox lasts anywhere from three to six months.
Xeomin as botox and dysport is used to help smooth out those frown lines that tend to appear between the brows. It is used to block the nerve activity making a temporary minimization in muscle activity. Xeomin has no additives and the effect after being injected appear after a week. It is similar to botox  dysport when it comes to duration on results. It can last from 3 to 6 months.
If you are looking for more of a natural look Dysport would be a great option as mentioned on  dysportusa.com Dysport is to give you more of a smooth natural look rather than a frozen look. There are five different points to where one injection of Dysport is used. Once injected the injection will temporarily stop the muscles between the brows to contract.
So as we see all three products are used for the same purpose. They are all used to help minimize and smooth out the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles. Still unsure? Dr. Mark A. Bishara at The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa can help. Dr. Mark A. Bishara treats a large amount of patients weekly. So if in doubt come see Dr. Bishara he would be more than happy to help you make the best decision.

Volbella & Volift

Volbella & Volift
the new face of fillers
Over time skin becomes thin and slackens as facial volume and elasticity are gradually lost. Blame it on a combination of sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices but the aging process is inevitable. Those deep, stubborn lines that seem to be a constant annoyance staring you in the mirror morning and night, are the reason Juvederm strives to continually enhance the arena of dermal fillers.
Everyone knows about Voluma the widely acclaimed, top of the line, does not get any better then this product from Juvederm. Well there are sister products as well! Voluma is known for enhancing and contouring the cheek area on the face, but now there is Volbella with the lowest concentration of HA so it can be used best in the lips and thin skin areas around the face, and then the newest addition to the Juvederm HA based fillers is Volift, not quite as concentrated as Voluma, so it is best used for static wrinkles including nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
