Wrinkles are generally caused by the failing elasticity in the skin as we age, but there are times when wrinkles and fine lines are caused by muscle contractions, such as with crows’ feet and frown lines. Botulinum Toxin, otherwise known as BOTOX®, is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the world to reduce and smooth the fine lines and wrinkles that can make a face look older. Here at Bella Medspa we offer the best priced BOTOX treatments in the region. BOTOX® treatments are used to reduce certain facial lines such as:

• crows’ feet (outer corner of eyes)
• frown lines (corners of mouth)
• smoker’s lines (upper lip)
• bunny lines (around and on the nose)
• marionette lines (surrounding the chin)
• vertical lines between eyebrows
• horizontal lines across forehead
• dimpled or “pebbled” chin

The process is simple: a miniscule amount of BOTOX® solution is injected into the muscles of the affected area. The protein molecule is taken up by the nerve ending where the nerve and muscle meet. The molecule binds with the nerve ending and prevents it from releasing the neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions, thus relaxing and paralyzing the muscles causing the fine lines, wrinkles, or spasms.

Other conditions assisted by BOTOX® injections include:

• hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating)
• hemifacial spasms or tic disorders
• spasticity from stroke or neurological disorders
• blepharospasm (eyelids)
• spasmodic torticollis (neck)
• writer’s cramp (forearm)

Since the essential ingredient in BOTOX® is a natural protein made of amino acids, BOTOX® is slowly and naturally absorbed into the body. BOTOX® injections can be repeated, but, with regular treatments, the amount of time between treatments will lengthen. BOTOX® is an inexpensive alternative to surgery that will provide smoother, younger looking skin and can assist people with embarrassing and sometimes painful conditions caused by muscle spasms. Bella Medspa offers the best treatments with BOTOX Philadelphia residents can receive. Injections of BOTOX Philadelphia area residents can trust are offered in the Bella Medspa offices located in Chester Springs, Harrisburg*, Lancaster, Newtown (Bucks County), and Rittenhouse Square (Philadelphia) locations.

* BOTOX® injections for hyperhydrosis currently not offered at the Harrisburg location.

Obagi Nu Derm Products

Obagi Nu Derm System

Skin can show premature aging and photodamage but there are skincare products to combat both of these skin conditions. The Obagi reviews are in and users of the skin health products and systems have experienced noticeable improvements in their skin’s appearance, color, texture and tone. Obagi Nu Derm Products are clinically proven to work below the skin level to reveal healthier and younger looking skin. Subsequently, these products are not sold over the counter and must be purchased from an authorized medical practice or reseller.

Why Obagi?

In 1988, Obagi Nu-Derm became Obagi Medical Products, Inc., in 1997. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, the company sells its proprietary skincare systems to the physician-dispensed skin care market. The prescription-strength formulas were primarily developed for the dermatology, plastic surgery and other related aesthetic markets. Product quality and authenticity are guaranteed by Obagi if the products are purchased from a local authorized medical practice or reseller.

The Obagi Nu-Derm Difference

As we age, turnover between old damaged skin cells and new healthy cells slow down. More than a topical lotion or cream, the Obagi Nu-Derm System is an anti-aging therapy that transforms the cell function for healthy skin. Nu-Derm works at the cellular level to prevent signs of aging and to correct damaged skin from the inside out. Penetration of the prescription and cosmetic agents are improved due to Obagi’s trademark Penetration Therapeutics technology. The absorbed agents form a barrier across the skin to minimize the affect of hyperpigmentation, premature aging, skin and sun damage, and the signs and symptoms of rosacea. Further, the anti-aging therapy works to improve skin elasticity.

The System consists of approximately six components that prepares, improves, stimulates, protects and complements the skin. Each component contains several products geared toward individually tailoring a program to address a patient’s skincare needs.
