Injectable treatments are non-surgical procedures in which substances are injected beneath the skin to enhance facial features, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall appearance. They offer a minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation, often with little to no downtime.
Neuromodulators work by temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. The effects of neuromodulators typically last for 3-4 months.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They can be used to plump lips, fill in cheeks, and reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the mouth to the chin). The results of hyaluronic acid fillers can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product.
Sculptra® is an injectable treatment that uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen production. This gradually restores volume to the face, resulting in a more youthful and contoured appearance. Sculptra® is typically used to treat deep wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and facial fat loss. It requires a series of treatments spaced over several months, and the results can last for up to 2 years.
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. Kybella® permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, leading to a more defined jawline and improved profile. Multiple treatments may be required to achieve desired results.
