Injectables & Lip Augmentation in San Francisco - Dr. Kenneth Bermudez
Serving East Bay Area & San Jose
Botox and collagen treatments for our San Francisco and East Bay Area patients are just two of the many ways Dr. Kenneth Bermudez can provide patients with effective, beautiful facial rejuvenation results. With these products and others, such as Restylane and fat injections, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced and areas such as the lips, forehead, and cheeks can be plumped up and enhanced for a more sensual, contoured aesthetic.
Botox Cosmetic
One of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world is Botox Cosmetic. Available at our San Francisco plastic surgery practice, Botox injections can reduce the appearance of frown lines between the eyes, crow's feet, and other signs of facial aging.
Muscle contracture in certain areas of the face causes lines and wrinkles to form. Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein that temporarily paralyzes these muscles, effectively stopping them from contracting. The entire Botox procedure typically only takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete.
Dr. Kenneth Bermudez will discuss the procedure with you in detail during your initial Botox Cosmetic consultation at our facility in San Francisco. After you and Dr. Bermudez decide on which area to target to provide optimal results for your facial rejuvenation, the procedure can be performed in a quick visit (even during your lunch hour). This treatment can be an excellent alternative for San Francisco Botox patients who desire facial rejuvenation without undergoing more invasive plastic surgery procedures such as forehead lift or face lift in San Francisco.
Botox Cosmetic Results
One of the chief benefits of Botox Cosmetic is that the results are often noticeable within one to three days of treatment. Results typically last from three to six months, and the injections can be repeated to maintain the effects. Patient satisfaction with the results of Botox injections is very high. Botox Cosmetic can smooth out signs of aging and stress in your face quickly and effectively, and has been one of the most frequently requested cosmetic treatments for the last decade.

Collagen
Collagen treatments, available at our San Francisco practice, are performed to treat the effects of aging on facial skin and imperfections such as wrinkles and fine lines, crow's feet, and acne scars. Collagen is also useful for lip augmentation to provide new contours to the lips, which can give the face an entirely new aesthetic.
The most common type of collagen is bovine, which requires an allergy test before treatment. However, there are human-based collagen treatments available that provide a minimized risk of an allergic reaction. The procedure is performed in much the same way as a Botox Cosmetic treatment — collagen is injected in targeted areas of the face. Collagen treatments typically take about 30 to 60 minutes, with full results apparent within two days after the injections.
Collagen Results
The results of collagen treatments can last from six weeks to six months depending on the type of collagen being used. Although collagen injections do not provide permanent results, patients can maintain the effect with follow-up treatments. Collagen injections can help patients achieve fairly quick facial rejuvenation or aesthetic improvement without invasive surgery. Recovery time is negligible, and there is little pain associated with the procedure.
Please contact our cosmetic surgery office to schedule a collagen consultation with our San Francisco physician.
Restylane
Restylane is made of a substance that occurs naturally in the human body. Treatment with Restylane reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in a variety of facial areas, including the cheeks, forehead, chin, and around the mouth. It can also be used to add volume to the lips, plumping them up for a more sensual, youthful aesthetic. The treatments typically last about 30 minutes, and there is no extended recovery time, which means you can resume your normal daily routine immediately.
Results of a Restylane treatment generally last about six months, and even up to a year in many cases. Follow-up injections can help maintain results for our San Francisco Restylane patients. Furthermore, Restylane can be an effective facial rejuvenation treatment on its own, or it can be used in conjunction with eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty or neck lift in San Francisco for a more complete aesthetic makeover.
Fat Injections
Fat injections are a remarkable way of augmenting the lips and/or filling in facial lines and wrinkles by using a substance from your own body. In the procedure, fat cells are taken from one area of your body and injected into targeted areas on the face. Since the fat is from your own body, there is no possibility of an allergic reaction.
Results are typically long lasting, and repeat injections can help maintain results for as long as you desire. Fat injections are a wonderful alternative to dermal fillers that are animal-protein based, and they provide effective results for patients wishing to add contour to facial features or reduce the signs of aging on facial skin.
Lip Augmentation in San Francisco
Lip augmentation can renew the entire aesthetic of your face by providing fuller, more contoured lips. A number of injectable fillers such as collagen and Restylane, as well as fat injections, can enhance the lips and make them plumper and more sensual. Depending on the type of filler you and Dr. Kenneth Bermudez decide is best to meet your enhancement goals, the effects of lip augmentation can last for months and can be maintained with touch-up treatments. With lip augmentation, you can have stunning, youthful-looking lips that provide an exciting new look to your face.
