Hanover, New Hampshire Dr. Mark Ballentyne was invited to conduct a day of training on administering facial injections at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. The day of training, May 18th, 2012, was sponsored by Allergan Medical and provided plastic surgical residents and attending plastic surgeons expert instruction on the facial enhancement using facial fillers and Botox Cosmetic. Dr. Ballentyne has a large following of patients and a reputation for excellence. Dr. Ballentyne is board certification in Aesthetic Medicine by the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine.
Dr. Ballentyne trained in proper technique for facial injections using Juvederm, which treats facial wrinkles and fills out thinning lips and Botox Cosmetic which treats frown lines in many areas of the face and neck. Dr. Ballentyne instructed the physicians regarding the importance of injecting to the proper depth in the skin so it improves the aesthetic outcome and for longevity of the product.
Dr. Ballentyne lectured first and then conducted demonstrations of the facial fillers for lips, nasolabial folds and deep wrinkles. For the lips, we can help better define the borders or enlarge the size of the entire lip. You can also eliminate the often deep lines running from the corners of your nose to your mouth, called nasolabial folds with long lasting fillers such as JUVÉDERM. Dermal fillers are also the perfect non-surgical choice for some types of scarring or depressions on the face and for lines that run straight up form the lips, that develop from age or from pursing the lips habitually when smoking.
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are highly effective at smoothing the "frown lines" that appear between your brows, Forehead wrinkles, Smile lines or "crow's feet", corners of your mouth, chin dimples, hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating, giving a moderate brow lift, "bunny lines" or pursed mouth, marionette lines, fine lines around the mouth and platysmal banding (neck wrinkles and sagging). The treatment lasts roughly 10 minutes and involves several small injections. A single session of Botox Cosmetic keeps muscles relaxed and brows smooth for up to four months, at which point treatment may be repeated.
