Why Use Injectables?
As we get older, our skin starts to produce less collagen and fat begins to diminish. This is what causes our skin to lose fullness and contributes to the development of lines and wrinkles.
If you want to regain a fresh, youthful appearance, facial injections are a great solution. The procedure is non-surgical, and treatments only take around 15-30 minutes. In addition, recovery is minimal to non-existent. You will be able to get back to your day after your injectables treatment. While the effects of the treatment are temporary, you can always have repeat treatments to maintain your results.
Types of Injectables
At American Surgical Arts, we offer a variety of injectables and dermal fillers. Our surgeons use these solutions to eliminate wrinkles and add volume to different parts of the face. Lips, cheeks, mouth lines, and nasolabial folds are the most common areas of the face that patients like to enhance. All of the solutions we use are FDA-approved and provide natural-looking results.
BOTOX®
Benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic offers patients a variety of both short and long-term benefits:
- Wrinkle Reduction: Botox Cosmetic temporarily paralyzes the muscles in the areas of treatment and smoothing out wrinkles. With repeat injections, BOTOX Cosmetic can also help reduce new lines and wrinkles from forming.
- Temporary Results: The results from BOTOX Cosmetic are temporary, so patients who are not happy with the results can try another neurotoxin once it wears off.
- Confidence Booster: BOTOX Cosmetic can also help you feel more confident in your appearance.
This is a popular choice among patients who want to smooth out wrinkles between their eyebrows or reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines. BOTOX is typically used for dynamic wrinkles or creases that occur due to muscle contractions. For the procedure, one of our surgeons injects a precise amount of BOTOX into the muscles causing the dynamic wrinkles. This helps relax the muscle for about 3 to 6 months, leaving your skin with a smoother appearance.
Restylane®
Many patients use Restylane to help define the contours of their faces or add volume to their lips. Made from hyaluronic acid (HA), this gel solution attracts and bonds to water molecules, plumping up the skin. As we age, the body slows down the production of HA, causing the skin to sag prematurely. This injection helps maintain moisture and lasts 6-12 months.
Benefits of Restylane®
Restylane injections offer patients the following benefits:
- Versatile Dermal Fillers: Restylane can be used in most places of your face, including the lips, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Restylane works well to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
- Reversible: Restylane can be dissolved if patients are not happy with the results.
JUVÉDERM®
This is another type of hyaluronic acid solution that patients use to smooth wrinkles and add volume to the cheeks and lips. JUVÉDERMcan also help treat marionette lines, nasolabial folds, lip symmetry, and vertical lip lines. The results last anywhere from 6-12 months depending on the specific product used. In some cases, results can last up to 18 months.
Benefits of JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM injections offer patients the following benefits:
- Natural-looking results: The family of JUVÉDERM products provides natural-looking results.
- Versatility: JUVÉDERM can be used to correct a variety of aesthetic concerns
- Long-Lasting Results. JUVÉDERM is one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers available. Results can last as long as 18 months or longer.
RADIESSE®
This dermal filler is primarily used for severe smile lines, marionette lines, hollows, folds, and wrinkles. It is made of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) spheres in a water-based gel that stimulates the body’s production of collagen. The results for RADIESSE® usually last longer than acid-based fillers, around 12-18 months
Benefits of RADIESSE
Some of the top benefits of RADIESSE include:
- Wrinkle Reduction: Radiesse works exceptionally well to reduce the appearance of lines and deep wrinkles. It works extremely well for reducing the appearance of prominent nasolabial folds.
- Boosts Collagen Production: Radiesse is unique in that it not only fills lines and wrinkles but also stimulates natural collagen production.
- Minimally-Invasive: Radiesse is also a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can be completed in under 60 minutes.
Sculptra®
Scupltra® is one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers. It uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic biodegradable polymer, to increase collagen production. Since it is made from the same material as dissolvable sutures, it gradually fades from the body leaving behind volumized skin tissue. This treatment lasts nearly 2 years in most cases.
Benefits of Sculptra®
Sculptra also offers patients a wide variety of benefits, which include:
- Promotes Collagen Production: Sculptra is specifically formulated to stimulate collagen production.
- Gradual Results: Sculptra also provides natural-looking results that gradually build up over time.
- Long-Lasting Results: Results from Sculptra injections can last longer than two years, oftentimes lasting up to 24 months.
