Cosmetic injectables fall into two main categories: dermal fillers and neuromodulators. When injected in small doses, these products can provide a range of sculpting and rejuvenating effects.
Dermal fillers and neuromodulators can be injected as stand-alone treatments or can be combined with additional cosmetic procedures. In some cases, a combination of fillers and neuromodulators is recommended for optimal results. Skin rejuvenation with chemical peels, dermabrasion, or other therapies can also complement injectable treatments.
Injectables are often used to address signs of aging, including lost volume, drooping, and wrinkles. Injectables are most commonly used throughout the face but can improve the appearance of the chest, hands, and other areas of the body as well.
Dr. Cohen can determine your candidacy for treatment with injectables by meeting with you for a consultation. Candidates must be in good physical health with realistic expectations for the outcome of their treatment.
Injectables are an effective method of treating mild to moderate signs of aging. Advanced signs of aging such as loose, hanging skin may require more intensive intervention, such as plastic surgery.
Dermal fillers provide temporary facial enhancement with minimal downtime. The most commonly used dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, which improves hydration for a plumping and firming effect. Hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body over time, so periodic retreatment will be needed to maintain your dermal filler results.
Dermal fillers can be injected to:
Enhance the lips, cheeks, nose, and jawline
Fill under-eye hollows
Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Improve facial balance
Restore lost volume
Neomodulators, including well-known brands like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are non-surgical treatments that can help rejuvenate your look by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for facial expressions, giving you a smoother, more youthful appearance.
While individual experiences may vary, most patients experience minimal downtime. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness at the injection sites. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after injections. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
The cost of cosmetic injectables can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of product used, the amount needed for optimal results, and the treatment area.
