360° Total Body: Injectables
When we think of injectable treatments, most people instinctively turn to the face. When considering injectable treatments for your 360° plan at Humphrey Cosmetic Dermatology, we look to visible areas of the body—such as the submental region, neck, chest, and even your hands—aiming to create harmony from head to toe.
Smoothness, firmness, and tightness on the body are traits of vitality and health. To achieve these goals, there are two particularly effective injectable treatments with lesser known body benefits:
SCULPTRA® Body
With age, your skin’s natural supply of collagen (a protein in the body that supports cells and tissue) decreases leading to skin laxity and crepiness. Sculptra is an injectable treatment shown to activate the skin’s natural regenerative process and help replenish lost collagen and smooth texture; in some cases it may even tighten the skin. Initially intended for treatment of facial areas, Sculptra can also effectively replace lost collagen in other areas of the body including the buttocks, hips, and thighs. Results appear gradually and can last up to two years.
BELKYRA™️
For stubborn, localized pockets of fat, many of our patients turn to us, and to Belkyra™️, for a solution. An injectable treatment composed of deoxycholic acid (a compound found naturally in the body), Belkyra works to break down targeted fat cells, which your body then absorbs and naturally processes. Originally intended to treat the area under the chin, Belkyra has since been proven effective in targeting smaller, localized bulges of fat including on the sides of the knees, on the inner thighs, the upper arms, or for women in particular, the “bra bulge” above and below the back bra strap. The treatment is minimally-invasive, and only takes about 20-30 minutes.
