Cosmetic Injectables

What To Expect From Cosmetic Injectables

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation can be an effective way to address signs of aging. The most popular way to increase facial volume is through injectable dermal fillers, while the fastest way to relax and soften facial muscles to reduce wrinkles is through neurotoxins. Injectable enhancements can eliminate facial folds and creases, fill wrinkles, deep creases and lines, as well as restore the fullness of the face that may have been lost due to gravity and the aging process. Our board-certified and board-eligible surgeons offer a full range of cosmetic injectable procedures. Non-surgical aesthetic treatment is perfect for patients who want a fast and effective anti-aging treatment. Injectable enhancements can help improve the appearance of the following:

• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
• Frown lines
• Nasal-labial folds
• Marionette lines
• Glabella
• Wrinkled or sagging cheeks and tear trough
• Under-chin fullness (double chin)

Additionally, fillers can be injected into the lips to make them look fuller and more visually appealing. Before our surgeons administer cosmetic injectables, patients are typically locally anesthetized with a numbing cream. We’ll make a recommendation regarding each patient’s follow up visits for maintenance (if required) based on the injectable enhancement used in the treatment.

Types of Cosmetic Injectables

Autologous Tissue Injectables “Autologous” simply refers to the use of one’s own tissues or fat. Our surgeons harvest fat from the patient’s own body and re-inject it into the treatment region after it is purified. Results vary from one patient to another depending on the body’s re-absorption rate. Two or three fat injection sessions can ensure permanent results.

BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX is an injection of onabotulinumtoxinA intended to temporarily correct moderate-to-severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and the vertical frown lines that develop between the eyebrows in adults.
