BOTOX© Cosmetic

Millions have turned to BOTOX© injections, available in Higgins Lake, to improve the look of their facial appearance. Available at our dental office and administered under the expert care of renowned cosmetic dentist Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, BOTOX© injections are an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that can diminish visible signs of aging by reducing or eliminating moderate to severe lines and wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and on the neck.

BOTOX© Cosmetic works by temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, giving skin a smoother, younger looking appearance. At her Michigan dental office, Dr. Mitchell injects BOTOX© Cosmetic using a thin needle. The procedure is quick and painless. Patients can expect to see maximum results in about two days, although some results can be discerned immediately following the procedure. A BOTOX© treatment lasts about four months on average, and touchups can be scheduled to ensure that your youthful look is easily maintained.

Individuals who might be allergic to botulinum toxin, the component that makes up BOTOX© Cosmetic, should consult with Dr. Mitchell about the other cosmetic injectables she offers at her Higgins Lake, Michigan dental office, including Juvéderm™.

Juvéderm™

Juvéderm™, available in Higgins Lake at Dr. Mitchell's tranquil dental office, is a new and exciting gel filler that is safe and long lasting. Dr. Mitchell uses Juvéderm™ to augment lips. Injecting Juvéderm™ into the lips makes them full and supple, and enhances the overall beauty of the face. Juvéderm™ is made of non-animal-derived hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the human body, so the results it provides look natural and last longer than some other cosmetic fillers on the market.

Approved by the FDA in 2006, Juvéderm™ is made using new technology that makes the gel smoother, and easier to inject. Juvéderm™ can be used for wrinkle correction on the face, to treat deep folds and smile lines, to contour the cheek and chin regions of the face, as well as add volume and fullness to lips. Results can be seen immediately, and they last an average of six months. When the results begin to dissipate, patients can schedule another appointment for treatment with Juvéderm™ at Dr. Mitchell's dental office in Higgins Lake.

To ensure that you are comfortable throughout the treatment, Dr. Mitchell will gently numb the area to be treated before injecting the hyaluronic acid gel; even without numbing the targeted area, the Juvéderm™ procedure can be described as nearly painless. Depending upon the desired degree of correction, the procedure can last from 15 minutes to 45 minutes. Patients can resume normal activities immediately following the treatment with new, more youthful and vibrant skin.
