Thanksgiving is less than a month away. Whether you are planning to jet across the country to see family or are hosting a gaggle of your loved ones at your home, there is a lot to do to get ready. You’ll be spending quality time with family, friends, and loved ones you may not see all that often, so you want to create the best impression you can. In addition to preparing a delicious meal, you’ll want to prepare your appearance for when that front door opens.

At Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic, we offer several quick, safe, and effective treatments that can help you refresh your appearance in time for Thanksgiving. Consider adding one or more of these options into your pre-turkey day planning:

Dermal Fillers

While Botox treatments address lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections by targeting the muscles responsible for causing them, dermal fillers work by plumping facial features to counteract volume loss that is a natural part of aging and a primary cause of wrinkles.

Like Botox, dermal fillers are injected into the skin. Unlike Botox, dermal filler injections tend to address issues in the lower two-thirds of the face, plumping facial features such as the cheeks, lips, chin, and other areas.

Dr. Busso offers a wide array of dermal filler treatments, including:

• Juvéderm Voluma
• Juvéderm Volbella
• Restylane®
• Restylane® Silk
• Restylane® Defyne
• Sculptra Aesthetic®
• Radiesse®
• Silikon™ 1000

Dermal fillers typically remain in the skin for six to 18 months. They work by attracting water to the injection site and increasing collagen production at and around the treatment area. In combination with the filler itself, these effects increase the volume of the area under the skin, stretching the skin and thus reducing and fading wrinkles.

Dark Circle Reduction

Chemical peels can be extremely effective at reducing dark circles around the eyes. Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin to reveal fresh, smoother skin which hasn’t been damaged by the sun, wind, or other elements. One of the three main types of chemical peels Dr. Busso administers involves the use of trichloroacetic acid (TCA). TCA peels can rejuvenate the skin below the eyes and reduce the prominence of the dark circles that appear under our eyes as we age.

Hand Rejuvenation

The hand rejuvenation program we offer is a restorative treatment that combines dermal fillers like those discussed above with laser treatments to replace lost volume and improve the overall appearance of your hands. Laser treatments work with the dermal filler to enhance the texture of the skin while minimizing sun spots and other unwanted blemishes.
