Dr. Rebeca Baxt Provides an Overview of Critical Facts About Dermal Filler Products & Their Uses
Dr. Rebecca Baxt, a Board-Certified Dermatologist, understands that there may be some confusion about the differences between the various face and hand filler products offered at BAXT CosMedical®. For instance, which filler is right for you? What do the fillers treat? Are they all FDA-approved? How long do fillers last? Who is eligible to receive fillers? At BAXT CosMedical®, all injections are done by Dr. Baxt at her Paramus, NJ practice. She is a skilled injector and knows how to achieve optimal results for adults 21 years and up. During your consultation with Dr. Baxt, she will determine which filler options will best treat your concern.
There are a few items to consider before you select your dermal filler injector. Dr. Baxt identifies “Three Critical Facts About Facial Fillers” as follows:
- Fact #1: Not all Injectors are the Same
It matters who your injector is! At BAXT CosMedical® Dr. Baxt does all injections! No other doctors or assistants, nurses, or providers with limited experience or understanding of the skin will do your injections. - Fact #2: Ensure that your Product is Authentic
All of the fillers offered at our cosmetic enhancement center are FDA-approved. Dr. Baxt understands the properties of the fillers and she will recommend an appropriate filler to meet your facial rejuvenation goal. - Fact #3: Injection Techniques Matter for More Natural Results
There are a variety of injection techniques that are used, dependent upon the area being treated. Precise injection techniques are needed to achieve optimal results and to not cause dimpling and, more significantly, damage to facial nerves.
