Injectables Q & A

What are injectables?

Injectables are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that enhances the natural contours of your face and addresses mild to moderate age-related skin flaws.

Dermatology & Advanced Skin Care provides several injectables in-office for adults who want to improve their appearance without surgery.

The board-certified dermatologists offer Botox® therapy as well as popular dermal fillers like Restylane® Juvéderm®, and Sculptra®.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

While both are injectable treatments, Botox and dermal fillers work differently to address skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, and lost facial volume that become more common with age.

Botox

Botox is a prescription medication made from a purified form of botulinum toxin, the same substance that causes food poisoning. In precise doses, Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for crow’s feet around the eyes and frown lines across the brow.

Restylane

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler that fills in creases and wrinkles so your skin looks smoother and more youthful. The team also uses Restylane to improve the volume of thin lips.

Juvéderm

Juvéderm offers a line of dermal fillers, including Juvéderm® Ultra and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus, that contain a hyaluronic acid gel to improve the volume of your skin and minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles, smile lines around the mouth, and creases around the nose (nasolabial folds).

Sculptra

Sculptra is an injectable treatment used to stimulate collagen and enhance facial tightness for a superior anti-aging effect. It can help minimize the appearance of smile lines, chin wrinkles, and sunken cheeks.

Am I a candidate for injectables?

You might be a candidate for the injectables available at Dermatology & Advanced Skin Care if you’re dissatisfied with age-related skin flaws but aren’t interested in invasive surgery.

The board-certified dermatologists review your medical history and your cosmetic goals. They also discuss your expectations for treatment to ensure injectables can deliver the results you want.

Based on your unique facial features and aesthetic goals, the team customizes a care plan using Botox and/or dermal fillers. Treatment times for injectables are fast and pose minimal risk to your health under the supervision of trained dermatologists. You can even schedule dermal filler or Botox injections on your lunch break and return to work without limitations.

The results of Botox can last for three months or longer before you need maintenance injections. Many of the available dermal fillers provide lasting results for six months or more based on the existing health of your skin.
