Aesthetics Q&A

​

Why consider aesthetics?

​

Age, environmental elements, and sun exposure all can take a toll on your skin. If you’re looking for a nonsurgical alternative to reduce unwelcome signs of aging, Optimal Health Miami offers a range of aesthetic services to improve the look of your skin.

 

What are my aesthetic treatment options?

​

Dr. Gittelman and the team provide noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne, dark spots, as well as stimulating collagen production to enhance your skin tone and texture. Aesthetic treatments include:

• BOTOX injections

• Dermal fillers

• Micro-needling

 

Optimal Health Miami also offers peptide therapy, an aesthetic treatment to help reverse the signs of aging and promote healthy skin. Research suggests that peptides — natural amino acids — may increase the production of melanin, a pigment inside your skin that protects against sun damage.

​

What are BOTOX injections?

​

BOTOX is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that targets the underlying cause of wrinkles and frown lines. The injections contain a highly purified ingredient that temporarily freezes the muscles that cause wrinkles. 

​

BOTOX injections, which take just 15 minutes, are quick enough to squeeze in during your lunchtime. You may begin to notice natural-looking results in just 24-48 hours.

​

What are aesthetic fillers?

​

Fillers help to reverse the loss of volume in your face that occurs over time, which can give you a natural, more youthful appearance. Most fillers are made of a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid, a natural-occurring element found in your body. 

Fillers are an ideal aesthetic option to fill or lift your:

• Smile lines

• Cheeks

• Corners of your mouth

• Chin wrinkles

• Lips

 

Fillers also can smooth away your nasolabial folds and marionette lines — the grooves that run between your nose and the corners of your mouth and the lines extending from the corners of your mouth to your chin.

​

What is micro-needling?

​

Micro-needling is a noninvasive aesthetic treatment to help rejuvenate your skin. At Optimal Health Miami, your practitioner rolls a micro-needling device across your treatment area. The device is covered with tiny surgical-style needles that create micro-injuries in your skin. 

​

These tiny injuries trigger the natural healing process and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the two building blocks of youthful skin. The treatment can produce dramatic improvements in your skin tone and texture.
