- Plastic Surgery & Skin CareGeneral Page Tier 3BlogLaugh lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles around the forehead are signs of a life well lived – and a natural part of the aging process. But take heart: While wrinkles are a fact of life, there are safe and effective ways to minimize their appearance and, in some cases, slow their progression. Botox® and fillers are two of the most common noninvasive procedures to address wrinkles today and have grown in popularity over the last five to ten years. However, many patients still have questions and, sometimes, misconceptions about these approaches. We often see patients wanting to learn more about how injections and fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and help them look younger. The first thing we do is talk about the difference between these procedures and the benefits of each. Then, together, we can determine which may be the best for you. Myth #1: Botox and fillers are the same thing While many confuse Botox and fillers, it’s important to understand they aren’t the same thing. Botox paralyzes muscles temporarily, which can help prevent the overlying skin from developing wrinkles. Fillers, on the other hand, can soften and fill lines and areas of volume loss like the cheeks or lips. With Botox injections, small amounts of Botox are injected into these areas to block signals from nerves to the muscles. The muscles are then no longer able to contract so the face doesn’t wrinkle. The most common areas for Botox include forehead lines and crow’s feet. Fillers, like Juvéderm® and Voluma® XC, use an injectable gel to fill a wrinkle that is already apparent. Juvéderm can be used to target wrinkles around the eyes and lips. Voluma XC can lift and smooth the cheeks. Another key difference between fillers and Botox is that Botox is a very effective measure to prevent or delay the appearance of wrinkles. The best time to start Botox is actually in your late 20s or early 30s, before wrinkles become obvious. The less you use the muscles in your face, the slower wrinkles will form. Of course, Botox and fillers need to be part of a comprehensive strategy that includes no smoking, sun protection and other skincare routines. READ MORE: Understanding your winter skincare routine Myth 2: My Botox won’t last The effects of Botox are not permanent but you and your provider can work together on a timeline that works to keep wrinkles at bay. Typically, we recommend about six months between injections, but that can vary based on your age and preference. The first sign it’s time to come back to the office is when the muscle begins to loosen up and start to move again, which is an indication the paralysis is wearing off. Fillers, on the other hand, can last up to two years. Your provider can help you decide what approach is best for you. You can experiment with fillers and Botox, but you need an experienced provider to guide you through the options that are best for you to ensure that injections are effectively administered. Just because you can get Botox at a spa or the dentist doesn’t mean you should. You need to see a knowledgeable provider who will create a strategy that addresses your concerns. Myth #3: My results won’t look natural One of the biggest misconceptions about Botox is that, because the muscles are paralyzed, you won’t be able to express emotion. But the areas targeted with Botox aren’t really needed to share your thoughts and feelings. For example, you don’t need to express anything with the muscles on your forehead, not being able to squint your eyes isn’t going to keep your family and friends from knowing how you feel and you can still certainly smile, frown and laugh. Fillers are also a natural, subtle way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Myth #4: Once I start, I can’t stop Botox and fillers are elective procedures that you can stop at any time, but it’s always best to discuss your plans with your provider to create a schedule that’s right for you. Your provider can also address any concerns you may have about the procedure or recommend a different approach to better meet your goals.

- Employee SpotlightGeneral Page Tier 3BlogSome call it luck, others call it destiny. Faith Christina Kienstra, staff chaplain at Anne Arundel Medical Center, describes ending up in Annapolis as a “complete fluke.” “I moved to the East Coast about three and a half years ago. I had decided to make a temporary move to Annapolis and saw there was an opening for a chaplain at AAMC so I eagerly applied, and I am blessed to be here two and a half years later,” she said. Faith was nervous about working at a hospital that’s not religious-based, saying she was ambivalent by how others would interpret her approach to work as a chaplain. But to her surprise, she was pleasantly welcomed by an integrated team that gave her a platform where she could continue to thrive with her work. “It’s such a special hospital because people who work here are called to do what they do,” she said. “There is grace, respect and a sense of lifting up others throughout the entire organization, from top executives all the way through to the volunteers.” This is important for Faith, whose main duty revolves around dealing with situations that can be challenging. Through the years, she has learned that when a crisis happens, it doesn’t only affect the person it happens to, it also happens to everyone around them. She gives credit to her faith, training, family, friends, dogs and AAMC team members for being the support she needs to move forward with resiliency. “The gift of presence is so powerful and to see how people, both patients and staff, handle difficult situations with such grace is an honor,” she said. “To hold someone’s pain, even if for a short amount of time, and be there with and for others during a difficult time is such a gift.” Faith attended Aquinas Institute of Theology Catholic seminary, where she received a master’s in pastoral studies. She did her clinical internship and residency at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo. Today, she feels privileged to do what she loves and be a light during some of the darkest times of many people’s lives. PRO TIP: “It’s the way that we do what we do that is our gift. No matter what your position is, bring your heart to it. Realize your value and know we’re all part of a team. Without each other, we would be nothing. Do what brings you joy.” If you know a great individual or a fantastic team going above and beyond to make a difference, make sure to let us know! Looking for a career in health care?
