Injectables

The vast majority of patients agree that the small degree of discomfort that is over in a matter of minutes⁠ is 100% worth it. Discomfort is managed for some treatments with a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area(s), while a number of our dermal filler products also contain lidocaine for further comfort. This will be discussed during your consultation. Besides these, there are many tricks that our treatment providers have up their sleeves where you'll find that your treatment is done and over with before you know it!

How long your results will last depends on factors such as the type and amount of product used, what treatment areas they were injected in, and how fast your body might metabolize the product. Longevity is not the same for everyone, but a general rule of thumb is that Botox or Dysport wrinkle relaxers usually last for approximately 3-4 months, while hyaluronic acid fillers like those from the Juvéderm and Restylane families may last anywhere from 6-18 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers that are intended to mimic bone and are placed in areas like the chin, for instance, are structured more densely and will often last longer than softer fillers that may be used for areas like the lips. Your treatment provider will discuss product longevity with you in your consultation.

As with any medical procedure, risks come with any cosmetic injectable treatment and is the reason safety is so crucial. There are a number of FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers with a long history of clinical success and a high safety profile, and we utilize several types of these products that are often specially designed for certain treatment areas. They are all temporary products that are made of botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, or deoxycholic acid and can be safely metabolized by the body. Some of these pharmaceutical brands may sound familiar, and include Botox, Dysport, Juvéderm, Restylane, Stylage, Sculptra, or Belkyra. Your consultation will include a discussion of which products will work best for you and your objectives.
