This fall is all about signature beauty!

Dr. Amalia Anghel, primary dermatovenerology physician, doctor of medical sciences and international trainer in injectable aesthetics and laser therapies shows us why autumn is the perfect season for a discreet but visible refresh, a gentle reinvention of facial expression. 

"At Skinmed Clinic, we've created injectable packages designed to harmonize wrinkle relaxation with volume restoration in a natural and balanced way. Through comprehensive, balanced treatments that enhance natural beauty without transforming it, we are able to meet the real needs of our patients. A reset of the face, with that effect of freshness and youth that we all want."

Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid, the undisputed stars of the fall season

Two complementary tools to restore youthful freshness:

• botulinum toxin, ideal for relaxing dynamic wrinkles (those that occur as a result of expressions such as eyebrow lifting, frowning, smiling).
• 1 ml of hyaluronic acid, ideal for discreet plumping, contouring, moisturizing and smoothing areas that have thinned with age.

Dr. Amalia Anghel: "It's the treatment for women who want visible but natural results after just one session. We basically relax wrinkles and give that touch of volume where it's needed."

Why do they work well as a duo?

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signal to the muscles so they don't contract excessively. This makes expression lines (those on the forehead, between the eyebrows, at the corners of the eyes) disappear or soften. The effect usually lasts 4 to 6 months, after which the procedure can be repeated.

Hyaluronic acid adds volume or fullness where facial structure has sagged (cheekbones, jawline, lips, nasolabial folds). It attracts water and structures the skin's matrix, which gives smoothing, moisturizing and contouring.

Dr. Amalia Anghel: "In combination, the toxin takes care of dynamic wrinkles and the filler takes care of volume and contour that has been lost or blurred, so we get results that not only hide but restore facial balance."

What you need to know if you're thinking of combining botulinum toxin with filler

• It is essential to do full medical consultation before, where we analyze lost volume, facial expression and talk about your expectations.
• The order of injections matters: I usually apply the toxin first, then the filler - because relaxing the muscles can change the contours you want to fill in.
• We do not use excessive doses because of the risk of facial stiffness or product migration.
• The results appear gradually: botulinum toxin takes effect in a few days (7-10), the filler - immediately, but stabilizes in 1-2 weeks.
• Duration of effect: botulinum toxin 4-6 months, Juvederm fillers can last 9-12 months (depending on type) until total reabsorption.
• For maintenance: moisturize, sunscreen and repeat treatments at recommended intervals.

"This fall, I'm inviting you to take a smart step: stop "fixing" every now and then and practice signature beauty - the Signature by Skinmed method. Your face deserves balance, freshness and consistent attention.", concludes the specialist.
