The Best Dermal Fillers Alternatives

Achieving bouncy, youthful, and glowy skin all year around has never been easier. From anti-wrinkles injection to dermal fillers, keeping your skin plumped is only an appointment away. But what happens when you’re hesitant – or worse – scared of a needle coming this close to your face? Do you have to just let your face become dull?

Well, not quite! While dermal fillers and other injections are safe regimen bringing you rapid results, they are not the only ones. In fact, there are several treatment alternatives able to target various areas of your face – think lips, jaw, or eyes – without the need for injection. Keep on reading to find out more.

PDO Mono Threads

PDO Mono Threads aren’t just celebs’ latest obsession. Threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic alternative to fillers that subtly tightens and plumps the skin without the risks of looking botox-y.

PDO are absorbable polymer filaments that are threaded into your jawline, chin, eyebrow or nasolabial line to tighten saggy skin tissue. PDO threads not only subtly reshape your skin without the need for surgery, but it also promotes collagen production. Each thread is thinner than a hair, plus it isn’t permanent and safely dissolves overtime (results can last up to 12 months). Finally, there are little risks of side effects, making this treatment a great filler alternative.

A clinical paper in 160 patients demonstrated the important results PDO mono threads offered, along with highlighting a 17% rate of minor side effects, commonly linked to technical insertion and thread displacement. At My Botique, our nurses and doctors ensure the best outcome with PDO Mono Thread through training, education, and protocol implementation. The result? A safe and enhancing lift!

Liquid Gold

Liquid Gold is another Gwyneth-approved treatment alternative to anti-wrinkle injections; Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport alike.

Extracted from blood plasma, liquid gold is the term used to describe thrombocytes, a platelet of blood cells that forms in our bone marrow. Once separated from one of your blood samples, the liquid gold is then re-injected into your desired area of concern. The aim? to boost tissue preparation, collagen production, and cell production. 2 to 3 treatments are often recommended for best results, with little side effects. In fact, liquid gold injection is beneficial for both your appearance and your health. Various studies observed a link between liquid gold and the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis – an autoimmune condition affecting joints and cartilage that develops with age.

In order to get the best outcome – whether that’s better face symmetry or smooth skin – My botique focuses on extensive pre and post-treatment care to ensure your liquid gold is as healthy as possible.

Vampire Facial

Derived from liquid gold treatment, a vampire facial brings your skin anti-wrinkle, smooth, and bouncy benefits, without the need for injections!

If you Google “Vampire Facial”, you’ll see Kim Kardashian’s face covered with blotches of blood. This can be a bit deceiving, as the redness of the skin doesn’t come from pain or swell. Let us explain. In a vampire facial, your liquid gold is extracted from a blood sample and then micro-needled into your skin tissues. The result? Even skin tone, tight pores, diminished pigmentation, boosted cell production, and more.

A study published an interesting split face study to assess acne scarring treatments. Out of 30 patients, they observed that PRP microneedling (Vampire Facial) was 18% more effective at healing the skin than simple microneedling treatment. In short, the combination of liquid gold and microneedling is ideal if you’re looking to both treat and plump your skin. At My Botique, we offer a result-driven Vampire Facial with comprehensive pre and post-treatment protocol.

Skin Needling

If you’re skeptical of even extracting cells from your blood, then skin needling treatments are a great alternative to dermal fillers and all the above.

Skin Needling is a minimally-invasive procedure that focuses on stimulating collagen and elastin production for a plumped, healthy look. It can also be incredibly beneficial to reduce pigmentation and acne scarring. The technique requires puncturing the skin surface with fine needles. With almost instant-results, it only takes one treatment to notice a more radiant, bouncy, and even complexion.

Clinical reviews have pointed out that skin needling is widely used in dermatology practices as it is a safe and efficient method for skin health. We recommend 3 to 4 sessions done by our qualified team or nurses and doctors,  every 4 to 6 weeks for lasting results.
