BOTOX®, Juvéderm®, and Wrinkle Reduction at New Horizons Plastic Surgery
When patients come to Dr. Gregory Wittpenn with concerns about the toll age, sun exposure, and other factors have taken on their skin, there are a number of wrinkle reduction options available to them. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments help to diminish the appearance of wrinkles while preventing further damage, while dermal fillers like Radiesse™ can help to plump wrinkles for a younger look. For patients who may desire more dramatic rejuvenation, Dr. Wittpenn may suggest a facial cosmetic surgery procedure such as a face lift.

BOTOX® Cosmetic
One of the most popular treatments at our practice, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can reduce the appearance of brow lines that have become etched over time from frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions. The line-erasing ingredient in BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly refined protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into a facial line, this protein blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, relaxing the muscle and smoothing frown lines and crow's feet. The rejuvenating effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic relieve patients of brow furrows so that they no longer look perpetually tired, sad, or angry.
BOTOX® Cosmetic gives immediate results that can last as long as four months. The convenient, simple facial treatment takes only 10 minutes to complete, and can easily be accomplished within a lunch hour without any post-procedural downtime.
If you have ever wished for a quick and easy way to smooth the lines that crease your forehead or the corners of your eyes, we encourage you to schedule a BOTOX® Cosmetic appointment at our practice near Tyler and Lufkin, Texas.

Radiesse™
Radiesse™ is a dermal filler that is especially popular because it is biocompatible. This means that the materials in Radiesse™, calcium and phosphate ions, occur naturally in the body so there is no need to test for allergies before a Radiesse™ treatment. Radiesse™ is comprised of small microspheres that are suspended in a gel solution. These microspheres have a dual benefit: not only do they plump wrinkles, but they also help stimulate collagen growth for results that can last up to two years!
Dr. Gregory Wittpenn most commonly uses Radiesse™ to fill and prevent wrinkles around the nose and mouth, such as smile lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.
Juvéderm®
Juvéderm® is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective methods of smoothing facial lines and wrinkles. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in the body. Aging and environmental exposure can cause underlying skin tissue to break down. Without this supporting tissue, lines and wrinkles form, contributing to the appearance of aging.
Juvéderm® is especially effective in the diminishment of deeper folds and wrinkles, and can even be used for lip augmentation. Many of Dr. Wittpenn's patients at New Horizons Plastic Surgery also choose to use Juvéderm® to fill fine lines around the eyes.
If you desire smooth, vibrant, younger-looking skin, we invite you to contact Dr. Wittpenn and New Horizons Plastic Surgery and schedule a Juvederm consultation at our practice in Nacogdoches, near Tyler, Texas.
