ROCKVILLE, Md. — If you feel like you could use a little freshening up, but you're not sure what facial treatment to choose, Rochelle E. Hackley, DDS LLC & Dental Spa is the place for you. The team of trained estheticians will help you determine which is your best option. Here's a guide to understanding how three of the most popular procedures work.
Botox®. You've heard about it for a while, but you may not really know what it is. Botox injections are an FDA-approved cosmetic and medical procedure that can smooth out wrinkles and crow's feet. The treatment typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes and is relatively painless. Results generally last up to three months, so you won't have to book a weekly visit. If you're looking to smooth out those forehead lines, this is for you.
Dermal fillers. Fillers are also given via injection; which is why they're often confused with Botox. The purpose of fillers is not just to smooth out lines, but to add back plumpness to the face that's lost over time. This is most commonly done to lips, and around the cheeks and mouth. If you're looking to ditch your Kylie Jenner lip kit, this is for you.
PDO Thread Lift. Threading is not just for your eyebrows. This procedure can give your face a natural looking lift without having to go through the trauma of a facelift. Small threads are placed under the skin with a hypodermic needle. They allow your skin to naturally produce collagen that's lost over time. Your face in turn naturally lifts itself. If you're looking for a longer-lasting treatment, this is for you.
