Cosmetic Injections

What are cosmetic injectables?

As we age, the tissues lose volume and elasticity, making the skin thin, loose, wrinkled, and sagging. Cosmetic injectables are used to minimize these effects. Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport, all neurotoxins, are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on your forehead, between your eyebrows, and around your eyes. These cosmetic formulas work by decreasing the muscle movements that control your facial expressions.

When this muscular action is reduced, your skin relaxes, and the dynamic wrinkles caused by frowning, smiling, squinting, and other facial movements become less apparent. In order to ensure natural results, the goal is to reduce, but not eliminate, your facial expressions.

Dermal fillers are used to restore volume to your cheeks, lips, and nasal-labial folds where fullness has been lost and to treat moderate to severe lines and wrinkles in the same areas. They are also a good choice to contour a jawline. Containing hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring substance in the body that keeps your skin hydrated, collagen, and other bio-friendly substances, they are long lasting products producing natural results.

Types of fillers offered include:

• Juvéderm®
• Restylane® Defyne (for chin projection and smoothing out laugh lines)
• Restylane® Kysse (for lips)
• Restylane® Lyfts (for your face and hands)
• Prollenium Revanesse®
• Revance® RHA® Collection

Biostimulators

Biostimulators go into the deep layer of your skin called the dermis. They differ from dermal fillers by stimulating new tissue growth and building subdermal structure , which helps your skin produce its own volume.

The Southeast Sculpting and Rejuvenation team uses Galderma's Sculptra® or Radiesse® by Merz Aesthetics to promote collagen growth in the deep layers of your skin to provide long-lasting, natural results.

Am I a good candidate for an injectable cosmetic treatment?

If you're in good health but want a more youthful appearance, you may be a good candidate for cosmetic injectables. Neuortoxins like Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport and dermal fillers are FDA-approved for use on men and women over the age of 18. Many patients opt for preventive cosmetic injections to stop wrinkles from forming at all. Botox, Xeomin , and Dysport are not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.

What should I expect during a cosmetic injectable treatment?

You'll receive specific and detailed information before your procedure is scheduled. At the time of your treatment, Dr. Robinson will first ask you to describe the features that you most hope to change. In turn, he will explain the different means of obtaining the desired results. Once you and Dr. Robinson discuss how you wish to proceed, the injections will begin. The treatment takes 20-60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. If you desire or if it is appropriate, Dr. Robinson can provide a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. You can expect to return to regular activities after your injections, other than strenuous exercise, which you should avoid for about 24 hours.
