3 of 30,000 trial participants in the Moderna vaccine trial experienced non-serious, delayed filler reaction in the area of previous dermal filler injection. Although we’ve seen slightly higher numbers in person, this is still an incredibly low number and nothing new from what we’ve seen with other vaccines in the past.

Once deemed “off-limits,” practitioners have now mastered the lower-third of the face. Botox treatments around the mouth, chin and neck—especially combined with the appropriate fillers—will lend a more balanced result.

As we age, our faces naturally lose fat and the facial muscles work closer to the skin surface, making smile lines and wrinkles more noticeable. Over time, our skin loses elasticity, which contributes to moderate to severe parentheses lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. 

There’s a reason Christie Brinkley continues to defy age. The 63-year old supermodel recently opened up to People about the 2 procedures that keep her looking young: Xeomin and Ultherapy®. Xeomin is a botulinum toxin, which like Botox Cosmetic or Dysport, is used to relax frown lines between the eyebrows. Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin naturally—without surgery or downtime.
