Injectables
BOTOX® | JUVEDERM® Collection of Dermal Fillers | RADIESSE® | RESTYLANE® | SCULPTRA®
There are a number of various injectables that we will use to customize your enhancement. These may include paralytic agents such as Botox which selectively weakens certain muscles to improve brow shape and position, wrinkles around the sides of the eyes, furrows around the mouth and bands in the neck. Other agents act as fillers to augment volume of lips, improve the appearance of certain wrinkles or act to enhance cheek fullness. These include long acting agents such as Sculptra (used most commonly in nasolabial fold/cheek augmentation), short acting agents such as Juvederm and Restylane (used for fine wrinkles and subtle enhancement elsewhere) and other agents such as Radiesse that have variable length of duration.
All injections are associated with a certain amount of discomfort that usually goes away soon after the injection. Short acting agents and Botox will usually be associated with minimal swelling and unusual bruising. Sculptra injection may be associated with significant bruising and swelling for a few days. Radiesse may have some overlying redness for a few days with bruising being unusual.
BOTOX®
Recognized as the most well-known injectable in the world, Botox® cosmetic is known to reduce and eliminate facial lines and eliminate wrinkles for months at a time. It works by paralyzing the muscles of the face and causing them to relax, which gives you a smoother and more youthful facial appearance. The most common areas that Botox® is used on are the forehead and eye area for crow’s feet. More about Botox on www.botoxcosmetic.com
JUVÉDERM® Collection of Dermal Fillers
This FDA-approved injectable gel is most used on the smile lines and folds around the mouth. It is made of hyaluronic acid (a substance that the naturally occurs in your skin) and lidocaine to minimize pain upon injection. Juvederm® instantly restores the volume of the skin while smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles. More about Juvederm on www.juvederm.com
RADIESSE®
FDA-approved filler, Radiesse® is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite spheres which promote the growth of collagen. By enhancing the body?s natural collagen supply, noticeable improvement can be seen in wrinkles, creases, and scars. The results from Radiesse® can last up to a year or more.

RESTYLANE®
Made of non-animal hyaluronic acid, Restylane® is effective in diminishing fine lines around the mouth and is an excellent filler for the lips. Although safe and effective, touch up treatments of Restylane® are usually needed after six months. More about Restylane on www.restylane.com
SCULPTRA®
A treatment that adds fullness to the face, Sculptra® is made of a synthetic polymer that is naturally absorbed by the skin. Upon injection, Sculptra® stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps restore volume to areas such as the jowls, cheeks and temples. Sculptra® is safe and results typically last a year or more. More about Sculptra on www.SculptraAesthetic.com
