Reduce Lines and Wrinkles
WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC?
Botox is an FDA-approved prescription medication that lessens the movement of treated areas by blocking nerve impulses and improving appearance by minimizing lines and wrinkles. At Skin Body Soul in Des Moines Botox is injected into the muscles below the areas where lines and wrinkles are located – usually around the eyes and mouth, between the brows and on the forehead. You don’t have to look your age. It’s easy to look youthful and vibrant with Botox injections. This fast treatment minimizes wrinkles and reduces forehead lines and crow’s feet.*
A Fresh, Smooth Appearance
HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?
There are many causes of the lines and wrinkles that develop as we age. When we frown, squint or even smile, the muscles contract causing the skin to fold and crease. After years of this repeated movement, the skin begins showing the effects. Sun damage can also cause lines and wrinkles, as can the cellular changes that come with normal aging. Luckily, with Botox Des Moines aestheticians at Skin Body Soul can temporarily ‘undo’ this damage. Using tiny needles, Botox is injected under the skin where it relaxes the muscles, giving the face a fresh, smooth appearance as the muscular activity decreases.

What Is It?
WHAT IS KYBELLA?
Kybella is a prescription medication that is injected in the chin area targeting and eliminating the submental fat that causes the ‘double chin’ effect. It is a formulated with synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is produced in our bodies and it functions to assist our bodies in breaking down and absorbing fat. Our Des Moines Kybella Injectors will inject it into the fat underneath the chin to destroy the fatty cells, once destroyed they can’t be regenerated. The eventual emergence of the dreaded ‘double chin’ can happen to both men and women and it is not necessarily tied to weight gain, the aging process and genetics are also factors. This causes many of us to feel very self-conscious about ourselves. Kybella treatments are proven to be very effective in obliterating the fat in the chin area and it’s a non-surgical procedure.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF KYBELLA?

- Permanent destruction of fat cells

Facts
At Skin Body Soul Des Moines Kybella is delivered via an injection directly into the fatty tissue beneath your chin. The cells are destroyed and can longer store or accumulate fat. This treatment produces permanent results and once you have achieved your desired results further treatments are often not required.
When you arrive for your Kybella Des Moines nurses may numb your skin to reduce discomfort during the treatment. You may receive a numbing injection, a numbing cream or a cold spray on your skin. Next, a nurse will use a tiny needle to inject small amounts of Kybella in multiple areas directly into the fat beneath the chin. The number of injections will depend upon the amount of fat and your personal goals.
Your nurse may also ask you to refrain from taking blood thinners before your treatment. You may wear your normal clothing to your treatment.
A treatment typically takes 15 – 20 minutes.
Some people experience mild discomfort during the treatment session. However, you may request that your skin be numbed to reduce discomfort.
Many people return to work and resume regular activities immediately following the treatment.
After treatment, you may experience redness, mild pain and slight swelling. These initial side effects should resolve very quickly.
The results of the treatment will vary from person to person; however, there is typically a noticeable difference within 2 – 4 treatments. The results of Kybella treatments are permanent.
