Fight the Signs of Aging
We all deal with the signs of aging, but thanks to the filler options from Dr. Jonathan Cabin, you can rejuvenate your appearance. Filler options can improve wrinkles and folds and increase the fullness of your face for a younger, fresher look.
If you want to define the appearance of your face, fillers can give you results you’ll love. Dr. Cabin uses fillers to fill and shape lips, cheeks, under the eyes, and more.
Botox® Injections
Botox® directly reduces dynamic wrinkles- those that occur with facial expression and movement. But Botox® is also preventative – by softening muscle movement and thus preventing reinforcement, the “etched-in” wrinkles that occur with aging can be reversed and prevented.
Dr. Cabin employs a micro-aliquot approach to Botox®, using smaller amounts across more targeted areas. This technique leads to the most natural reduction of dynamic wrinkles, along with effective, long-term prevention of etched-in lines.
Botox® can be used to narrow the lower face, creating a more aesthetic “heart-shaped” or “V-shaped” relationship to the cheek. By safely shrinking the masseter muscles – large muscles that add bulk of the jaw – the lower face can be dramatically narrowed. Dr. Cabin is an expert in this procedure, targeting Botox® safely and comfortably deep within this muscle.
Many patients who have a disproportionately wide lower jaw also have enlarged masseter muscles from teeth grinding or clenching, usually while sleeping. This procedure has the added benefit of reducing the pain associated with these unconscious behaviors, frequently referred to as TMJ disorder. See below for more details.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder leads to severe headaches radiating from the ears and the side of the head. TMJ pain is related to the repetitive force within the TMJ, generated by the masseter muscles.
The masseter muscles are our primary chewing muscles located just over the angle of the jaw. Whether related to teeth misalignment, teeth grinding or clenching, or arthritis in the joint, the pressure coming from this muscle typically exacerbates and perpetuates this pain.
Targeting Botox® to these muscles can weaken their force, thus alleviating TMJ pain for up to six months. Although dosing varies, there is generally an aesthetically pleasing narrowing of the lower face that benefits the patient.
Fillers
Specialized Non-Surgical Treatment
Certain cosmetic nasal deformities can be addressed using filler. Using micro-injections of certain hyaluronic acid-based filler, the nose can be dramatically reshaped in minutes, leading to long lasting harmony without surgery.
As the nose is central to a person’s appearance, Dr. Cabin believes in a full rhinoplasty consultation – with 3D photo simulation – before any non-surgical rhinoplasty. This facilitates clear communication of cosmetic goals, allowing Dr. Cabin to tailor the treatment to a specific patient’s request.
Kybella® is an injectable, in-office treatment that melts fat. FDA-approved for use in the submental area (“double-chin”), Kybella® works by permanently destroying fat cells, so that fat can no longer accumulate.
Dr. Cabin is an expert Kybella® injector, treating both the “double-chin”, as well as other areas throughout the body with stubborn fat.
Microneedling with Platelet-Rick Plasma (PRP) combines a multi-pronged, vibrating needle pen with a patient’s own blood plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the facial skin, softening fine lines and wrinkles, improving acne scarring and lightening pigmentation. This in-office procedure is quick, painless and leads to lasting skin improvements.
For reasons still mostly unknown, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections around scalp hair follicles fortify active follicles while stimulating inactive follicles to grow new hair. For both men and women looking for hair restoration and health, PRP injections are a safe and easy way to achieve natural results.
Using a series of micro-needle injections throughout the hair-deficient areas of the scalp, Dr. Cabin precisely places PRP into the follicular layer. Performed three times over three months, this advanced protocol results in optimal and maximized permanent hair growth, leading a healthier, more robust head of hair.
Scars resulting from previous surgery or trauma can be unsightly and even painful. Using a combination of injectable and energy-based therapies, Dr. Cabin can reduce the visibility and discomfort of scars, no matter the age. Some scars may also qualify for a surgical revision, possibly in combination with injection therapy.
Energy-Based Treatments
As we age, the skin thins, loses elasticity, and becomes progressively damaged by UV rays from the sun. There are many treatments branded as “skin resurfacing” that offer to turn back the clock, but Dr. Cabin believes only in the best: the Lumenis UltraPulse. This fractionated laser treatment powerfully resurfaces the skin, reversing years of damage, softening/eliminating wrinkles and improving pigmentation issues. This laser can be performed on its own, or as a supplemental treatment to surgical facial rejuvenation, such as facelift.
Because Dr. Cabin believes in maximizing patient results, all CO2 laser patients are placed on a customized skin care protocol before and after treatment. This ensures optimal results and minimizes risks associated with the laser treatment.
