Fillers, Botox and Threads

At Sarayu Clinics, we understand that maintaining youthful skin and facial aesthetics is important for many of our patients. As a Maxillofacial Plastic Surgeon with over 16 years of experience, I, Dr. Adarsh Tripathi, specialize in advanced, non-surgical treatments that can enhance your natural beauty, restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and provide a rejuvenated appearance. Among the most popular options are dermal fillers, Botox injections, and thread lifts. These minimally invasive treatments offer incredible results with minimal downtime, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to refresh their appearance without undergoing surgery.

1. Dermal Fillers: Restore Volume and Enhance Contours

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and helps to retain moisture and firmness. As we age, the skin loses its youthful elasticity, and collagen production decreases, leading to sagging and hollowed-out areas. Fillers work to combat these effects by replenishing lost volume and restoring facial structure.

Areas Treated with Dermal Fillers:

  • Cheeks: Restore volume to the midface, providing a more youthful appearance.
  • Nasolabial folds: Smooth out deep lines running from the nose to the mouth.
  • Marionette lines: Lift sagging skin around the mouth.
  • Lips: Enhance lip shape and volume.
  • Under-Eye Hollows: Fill in hollow areas under the eyes to reduce dark circles.
  • Jawline: Sculpt and define the jawline.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers:

  • Instant Results: You will see a noticeable difference immediately after the procedure.
  • Natural-Looking Enhancement: When performed by an expert, fillers provide subtle, natural-looking improvements.
  • Minimal Downtime: Patients can return to normal activities almost immediately.
  • Long-Lasting: Depending on the type of filler, results can last from 6 months to 18 months.

The Procedure:

  1. Consultation: During your consultation, we will discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals. I will assess the areas where volume has been lost and recommend the most suitable type of filler.
  2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
  3. Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, I will carefully inject the filler into targeted areas. The process typically takes about 15-30 minutes.
  4. Post-Treatment: Some swelling or bruising may occur but will subside within a few days. Results are immediate.
2. Botox: Smooth Away Fine Lines and Wrinkles

What Is Botox?

Botox is one of the most well-known treatments for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is a purified form of botulinum toxin, which works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Botox is especially effective for treating wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.

Common Areas Treated with Botox:

  • Forehead lines: Smooth out horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows.
  • Crow’s feet: Reduce fine lines around the eyes caused by smiling or squinting.
  • Frown lines (Glabellar lines): Soften the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as “11 lines.”
  • Bunny lines: Diminish the lines on the sides of the nose.
  • Neck bands: Relax the vertical lines on the neck, providing a smoother appearance.

Benefits of Botox:

  • Quick and Non-Invasive: Botox treatments take only 10-15 minutes, and there is no downtime.
  • Prevents Future Wrinkles: Regular Botox treatments can prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles.
  • Natural-Looking Results: With proper dosage and placement, Botox gives a refreshed, youthful look without a “frozen” appearance.
  • Fast Results: Results begin to show within 3-7 days after treatment and last for 3-4 months.

The Procedure:

  1. Consultation: I will assess your facial structure and the areas where wrinkles are most prominent. We will discuss your goals to ensure realistic expectations.
  2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired.
  3. Injection: I will administer small doses of Botox to the targeted muscles using a very fine needle. The process is quick and usually painless.
  4. Post-Treatment: You may experience mild redness or swelling, but this typically subsides within a few hours. There is no downtime, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
3. Thread Lifts: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

What Are Thread Lifts?

A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using temporary, absorbable sutures. Unlike traditional facelifts, thread lifts are a quick, non-surgical solution to aging, offering both immediate and long-term results. The threads used in the procedure are designed to stimulate collagen production, providing continued improvement in skin texture and elasticity even after the threads dissolve.

Common Areas Treated with Thread Lifts:

  • Jawline: Lift and tighten sagging jowls for a more defined jawline.
  • Cheeks: Restore youthful lift to the midface.
  • Neck: Tighten loose skin and reduce the appearance of neck bands.
  • Brows: Elevate drooping brows for a refreshed appearance.

Benefits of Thread Lifts:

  • Immediate Lift: You will notice a lifting effect right after the procedure.
  • Collagen Stimulation: The threads encourage natural collagen production, improving skin quality over time.
  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires no incisions, and downtime is minimal.
  • Customizable: Threads can be placed in various areas to achieve your desired look.

The Procedure:

  1. Consultation: We will discuss your specific concerns and assess areas of sagging. I will recommend the appropriate number of threads and placement points to achieve your goals.
  2. Preparation: The treatment area will be marked and cleaned, and local anesthesia will be administered for comfort.
  3. Thread Insertion: Using a fine needle, I will insert the threads under the skin, lifting and tightening the targeted area. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
  4. Post-Treatment: Some swelling or bruising may occur, but most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 days. The results continue to improve over the following months as collagen production is stimulated.
Combination Treatments for Optimal Results

Often, the best results are achieved by combining treatments like fillers, Botox, and threads. For example, Botox can smooth out dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore lost volume and contour. Thread lifts provide additional lifting and tightening for areas that have begun to sag. By combining these treatments, I can create a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan tailored to your needs, achieving natural, balanced results.
