Botox® effectively smooths lines and wrinkles to make you appear younger, more relaxed, and better rested. Botox® is made from a purified neurotoxin and effectively smooths lines and wrinkles by temporarily halting muscle activity in treatment areas. When your provider injects Botox into specific facial muscles, it effectively eases the wrinkles caused by expressions like smiling or frowning. This causes your muscles to relax temporarily and diminish the wrinkles created by those muscles.

When will I notice the results of Botox, and how long do they last?
The wrinkle-smoothing results of Botox start to show up just 24-48 hours after your treatment. It may take up to 14 days to see the final result. The effects of Botox usually last from 3 to 4 months and in rare cases longer. Your body metabolizes the medication over time, and the effect gradually wears off.

Dermal fillers are injections that are often made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance already present in your skin. Hyaluronic acid often decreases due to aging, causing wrinkled or sunken skin, which is why dermal fillers are an excellent treatment option.

Are dermal fillers right for me?
Dermal Fillers are FDA-approved, safe, and effective. To determine which type of dermal filler is best for your needs, the Duran Aesthetics and Wellness team examines your skin and consults with you one-on-one to determine which filler is best for you. They ask about your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals and desired results, and personalize your treatment plan.

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently “shave” the skin’s surface removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine vellus hair.

How many treatments of dermaplaning will I need?
Dermaplaning is recommended every 3-4 weeks or as needed for hair removal, exfoliation, or prior to other skincare treatments.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that causes micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing response. Once this response activates, the body creates new collagen and elastin, which tightens and rejuvenates the skin. Collagen is an essential protein that builds the body’s connective tissues. It keeps your skin supple, youthful, and hydrated.

What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin. It can minimize stretch marks, scars, wrinkles and other skin concerns. It doesn’t carry the risk of skin discoloration, unlike some facial rejuvenation procedures that use heat, light or lasers. This makes microneedling ideal for people with darker skin tones.

PEMF is a revolutionary wellness modality that utilizes soothing Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields to stimulate and exercise the body’s cells. PEMF is trusted worldwide to support the body’s natural healing and regulating abilities.

The earth emits a pulsing electromagnetic field at 7.8 hertz. This natural energy field, combined with around 8 million global lightning strikes per day, allows our planet to sustain life. Much like the earth, our bodies are electromagnetic; our brains use electromagnetic signals to communicate with every bodily system. Science has proven that if our cells have enough electrical charge, the body will heal itself!

How can PEMF therapy help?
PEMF therapy energizes and normalizes cells creating the perfect environment for the body’s natural healing to take place. Oxygen in the blood can increase by as much as 200%, improving cell metabolism and decreasing inflammation. Your body makes better use of nutrients and recovers faster from training.

Academic and clinical studies of PEMF therapy have found that PEMF accelerates bone healing, is beneficial for wound healing, increases bone density, and assists with overall health and wellbeing. PEMF therapy is painless and noninvasive. It can help with pain management allowing users to avoid or reduce their use of pain medications.

PEMF therapy is also used to help with post-surgical recovery and for other health care conditions. Clinical and academic research has demonstrated that PEMF therapy can reduce swelling and inflammation. PEMF therapy is FDA approved for a number of different treatments especially musculoskeletal conditions. As a general rule, any problems with soreness, stiffness, pain, and swelling can respond to PEMF therapy.

These results explain why PEMF therapy is widely used.
