• Different injectables treat different signs of aging.
• Some lines and creases are noticeable when we’re sitting still, perhaps reading a book or watching TV. Others become apparent when the face is in motion—when we’re talking and laughing.
• This distinction has given rise to two types of injectables:
• For smoothness and plumpness when face is at rest: Dermal fillers, like Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, & Ravenesse.
• For wrinkles when face is in motion: Neuromodulators, like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, & Jeuveau.
• Fillers are used to restore volume in the face and lips and correct wrinkles at rest. Neuromodulators like Botox are used to relax muscles that cause wrinkles with movement.

Not at all! Many men make Cosmetic Injectables part of what they do to care for their appearance.

The number of men choosing these treatments has risen fast – in the past three years alone, men have received over one million botulinum toxin treatments. When surveyed, the majority of men say they want to look good and they’re bothered by the changes they see in the mirror. 80% would choose to treat their crow’s feet first, while 74% would prioritize their forehead lines, and 60% would most like to treat their frown lines.*

It’s not your age that determines when Botox is right for you, it’s the severity of your lines. In fact, 64% of practices report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30’s. The truth is, everyone’s lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

The actual injection process takes a between 10 and 20 minutes. Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. Some patients report that being injected feels like a pinch. If you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave our office.

Patients typically need between one and two syringes of Dermal Filler for one area, but depending on needs and preference, some may need three or four. How much you need exactly depends on various factors, including age, depth of wrinkles, your end goal, etc. Our specialists can tell you how many syringes you’ll need to achieve your desired result during your consultation.

Results from Botox will begin to take effect within 24 to 48 hours.

Results from Fillers can be seen immediately. There may be some swelling, which can cause the area to look fuller at first, but that swelling should resolve itself within a week.

Results from Botox typically last between four to six months.

Results from Dermal Fillers may last up to one year to two years depending on the formula used. Typically, patients see results lasting between six months to one year. Based on clinical studies, results in patients with more active lifestyles may last a shorter time.
