Aesthetic Medicine: Botox and Fillers
Tired of seeing wrinkles but still a little afraid of using BOTOX? Dr. Jerry Darm, of Aesthetic Medicine, joined us today to explain how BOTOX® Cosmetic works and how fillers can also help eliminate unwanted wrinkles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary). BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.
Fillers are used to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year.*

Restore a Youthful Appearance
Dr. Darm, LipoFill™, Restore a Youthful Appearance from Dr. Darm Aesthetic Medicine on Vimeo.
LipoFill™ (Fat Grafting) can be done by aspirating fat from the abdomen or another donor site and then re-injecting it into lips, facial frown lines or cheeks. When compared to the use of traditional fillers, the grafts are much less expensive and can last years longer. Visit www.drdarm.com for more information and call at (503) 697 9777 to schedule your free consultation.
Fat makes an excellent soft tissue, filling material. It is collected from a donor site, such as the abdomen, buttocks or thighs, by using a small needle attached to a syringe. After removing excess fluids, the fat is injected, in multiple thin strands, into the desired area. Slight “over-filling” is necessary, since some fat will be absorbed. There is no possibility of an allergic reaction since it is taken from your own body.
IDEAL FAT GRAFTING CANDIDATES
You may be a good candidate for fat grafting if you:
- Desire full lips
- Desire softening your smile lines
- Have depressions in the lower eyelid/cheek area
- Desire subtle fullness in the cheeks, chin or over the brow Have significant depressions after liposuction or an injury.
YOUR PERSONAL CONSULTATION
You should arrive at the consultation prepared to provide complete information about: Previous surgeries Past and present medical conditions Treatments you have received Medications that you are taking, including nutritional supplements, and herbal remedies.
RECOVERY
For three to five days after fat grafting, there is significant swelling (particularly around the lips), and there may be some bruising. There should be minimal discomfort and elevating the head above the heart, and applying ice to the fat graft area, will minimize these effects and can significantly speed up the healing process. Sutures, if placed, will be removed in less than a week, and most patients return to work within five to seven days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for ten days.
RESULTS After several weeks of firmness, with some irregularities, a smoother, fuller appearance will become noticeable. Although techniques are continually improving, the longevity of fat grafting is not always predictable. Approximately thirty percent of the injected fat lasts for six, or more, months.So, it may be necessary to have one or two additional sessions to achieve your desired result.

Dr. Darm Aesthetic Medicine Minute - Fillers (Juvederm)
Juvederm® is one of the most popular lines of new fillers for deeper wrinkles around the mouth, between the eyebrows and to enhance the lips. This filler has an extremely low incidence of allergic reactions, and lasts six months to one year around the mouth and about three months in the lips. It provides instant gratification for our patients and has huge margin of safety with only occasional post-treatment bruising or swelling.
Dr. Darm Aesthetic Medicine is one of the leading provider of Juvederm®.
Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, Hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer. But, as we age, HA diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds. JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles and nasolabial folds.
JUVÉDERM® XC dermal filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Using a fine needle, your healthcare professional eases JUVÉDERM® XC under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis. This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds instantly.
While there are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM® XC is uniquely formulated. A next generation HA filler, JUVÉDERM® XC uses a manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™™ gives JUVÉDERM® XC its special smooth-gel structure that holds up over time. That’s why JUVÉDERM® XC is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA approved* to last up to one year with only one treatment. technology. HYLACROSS
*Results may vary.

Dr. Darm Laserlift: Alternative to Plastic Surgery
www.drdarm.com
Dr. Darm's Laserlift™ is our most popular treatment for fine lines, deep wrinkles, pore size, dark circles and overall skin texture. It has taken years to perfect this rejuvenating noninvasive procedure and thousands of patients have achieved a younger healthier appearance.
The face is first cleansed with the best possible skin care products and then a microdermabrasion is performed to prepare a fresh clean pallet for the laser treatments to follow. Then three different laser devices are used to gently stimulate and rejuvenate the skin and dermis with distinctive wavelengths. The lasers regenerate collagen, enhance skin tightening and give the skin a healthier younger appearance that can last for years.
As we age the skin, collagen, and elastin can be damaged by the sun, smoking, free radicals and loss of natural hormones. The LaserLift™ can help to reverse these changes and create a smoother skin texture, smaller pore size, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. With minimal pain and no downtime it is our best alternative to plastic surgery. The LaserLift™ results in a natural look and makes our patients look years younger.
