Fill in unwanted wrinkles, add volume to your cheeks, and define your lips to give your face a fuller and lifted appearance. Juvederm® Ultra Plus XC can also help improve your skin’s texture and can enhance the production of collagen which strengthens your skin and reduces wrinkles over time. Results can last up to a year.
JUVEDERM VOLUMA
Juvederm Voluma can restore balance and heart-shaped proportions to the face by subtly adding volume to areas where this is lacking because of aging or extreme weight loss. The result is a restoration of the triangle of youth back to its original form resulting in a softer and more youthful appearance. Many people do not realize the impact that losing volume on your cheeks can have on a person as they age. Many people think of wrinkles and lip size when trying to keep their youthful look, but full cheeks are a key component to youthful beauty. The cheeks are probably the most important area to treat to restore volume and lift the mid and lower face as they are the greatest anatomical anchor on the face. Juvederm® Voluma is the latest of the Juvederm® range of hyaluronic acid fillers specifically designed to restore volume, lift, and contour cheeks. Additionally, due to its versatility, it is also suitable for adding definition to the jawline and chin. If you have lost some of the natural lift and facial fat loss that occurs with age or weight loss and you feel as if your face is no longer the ideal shape, a dermal filler may be the answer for you. Juvederm® Voluma is one of the most successful products by Juvederm® because of how effective and long-lasting the treatment is. Receiving dermal filler is a very quick process, generally between 15 minutes and an hour. Best of all, you will see results immediately and the treatment can last up to 2 years before needing reapplication.

BOTOX®
For clients looking for BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, Core Hydration and Wellness, LLC offers a safe, fast and effective way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. We offer Botox® Cosmetic injections as a very effective treatment for furrows in the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. We are experts in raising the brows as well as the corners of the mouth.

The results are so gratifying; Botox® Cosmetic has become one of the most popular cosmetic medical procedures performed in the nation, as well as in this area.
WHAT IS BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a highly-purified muscle toxin, isolated from a certain strain of bacteria. The toxin blocks the chemical signal between the muscle and the nerve, leading to temporary paralysis of the muscle. The paralysis occurs over 1 to 5 days and peaks in two to four weeks. Results last from two to five months, depending on the amount injected and your metabolism. The effect gradually wears off, allowing the dynamic wrinkle to return.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
BOTOX® is commonly used in cosmetic procedures to give the skin a more youthful look by reducing wrinkles. But, there are some different uses for it beyond cosmetics, primarily in helping to treat hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating, and BOTOX® has been found to be a consistently effective treatment. If this is an issue for you, we can help with that, too.
DOES IT HURT?
As with any medical procedure that involves needles, you can expect some mild discomfort. But, with BOTOX®, the needles used are so small that any real pain is extremely minimal. Not to mention that the practitioner at Core Hydration and Wellness, LLC is focused on your comfort and safety, and are trained to expertly make all our procedures as painless as possible.

Botox generally lasts 2-5 months depending on your own metabolism (if you tan or are very physically active it metabolizes out faster) and the amount of correction you opt for. Per Allergan’s guidelines the sides of eyes (lateral canthus lines) takes 24 units (total for both eyes), the forehead is 20 units, and the glabellar region is 24 units (recommendations for maximum correction), it is always recommended to do the forehead and the glabellar region simultaneously to avoid drooping of eyebrows/eyes. You may opt to only do one area or opt for less units than recommended, however, if you feel that you did not get the result you are desiring with less product please follow up in 14 days for more product, we do not recommend more product in less than 14 days. The results vary depending on the amount of product used and how strong your muscles are, we just want you to be aware of Allergan’s recommendations, as many people opt for less than what is recommended.
