Injectables

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®

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 face 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 production of HA, causing skin to sag and lose moisture. This injection helps maintain moisture and lasts 6-12 months.

JUVÉDERM®

This is another type of hyaluronic acid solution that patients use to smooth wrinkles and add volume to the cheeks and lips. JUVÉDERM® can 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.

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 stimulate the body’s production of collagen. The results for RADIESSE® usually last longer than acid-based fillers, around 12-18 months.

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.
