New York Dentist Offers More Ways to Rejuvenate Facial Aesthetics

BAYSIDE, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 10, 2013) -  Dr. Melani Kapetanakos, a Queens dentist, knows her patients value their appearance, which is why she has expanded the offerings of her Bayside practice. In addition to providing state-of-the-art aesthetic, general, and restorative dentistry procedures, Dr. Kapetanakos now also provides the latest in injectable facial rejuvenation. These injectables help to eliminate the appearance of lines and wrinkles and augment areas of the face such as the lips and cheeks, producing a more contoured, youthful aesthetic.

At her practice, Dr. Kapetanakos now offers three varieties of injectables:

• BOTOX® Cosmetic: BOTOX® Injections have proven to be one of the most popular and effective injectable rejuvenation treatments. Signs of aging in the face including frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet can be smoothed out for a more youthful appearance with BOTOX® injections. The injectable is ideal for patients who desire a more subtle facial rejuvenation than more invasive plastic surgery procedures.
• Restylane®: Restylane® is a dermal filler that is quickly growing in popularity. In addition to smoothing out creases and wrinkles around the mouth, the forehead, cheeks, and chin, Restylane® can add volume to the lips for a more sensual, youthful appearance. Because Restylane® is made from a natural human substance, it requires no allergy testing.
• Juvéderm™: Juvéderm™ is designed to add volume to facial features and smooth out signs of age while providing long-lasting results. Composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the human body, Juvéderm™ targets specific areas of the face for renewal.

Dr. Kapetanakos says patients should expect little to no downtime after injectable facial rejuvenation treatments. While some swelling may occur around the injection site, this swelling typically dissipates soon after treatment. Dr. Kapetanakos discusses every aspect of each procedure with her patients at their initial consultation, including risks, benefits, and alternatives. Her aim is to help patients at her Queens dentistry practice decide which injectable treatment will best meet their individual goals. She believes that injectable facial rejuvenation treatments can be an excellent complement to a number of aesthetic dentistry procedures, such as porcelain veneers, dental implants, or teeth whitening.
