The Benefits of Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation with Injectables

With options like injectable dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, you can achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin while maintaining a natural look and avoiding the downsides of more invasive procedures. Here, you'll find additional information about the benefits of using injectables to help keep your face looking fresh.

What is meant by injectables?

Injectables typically refer to a category of products known as cosmetic injectables. These are advanced cosmetic treatments designed to address common signs of aging and enhance facial features. Cosmetic injectables fall into two primary categories: dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers. Dermal filler injections — such as Restylane®, RADIESSE®, Sculptra®, JUVÉDERM®, and BELOTERO BALANCE® — can help add volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and temples. Wrinkle relaxers, on the other hand — including Dysport®, BOTOX®, and XEOMIN® — reduce dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for fine lines and creases.

What improvements can be made with cosmetic injections in my face?

Injectables are versatile treatments that can help with various cosmetic concerns. Some of the most popular uses for cosmetic injections include:

• Smoothing wrinkles and fine lines
• Restoring lost volume in areas like the cheeks and temples
• Enhancing lip fullness with lip fillers
• Balancing facial features with nonsurgical rhinoplasty
• Lifting the brows with a nonsurgical brow lift
• Creating a more youthful look with a liquid facelift

With a customized treatment plan, injectables can provide subtle yet noticeable improvements that enhance natural beauty.

What are the benefits of injectables vs. plastic surgery?

Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation offers several benefits over traditional surgical options. Some of the reasons to consider injectables instead of cosmetic surgery may include:

• Little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your routine quickly
• Results are visible almost immediately or within as little as 1 – 2 weeks, depending on the product used
• A minimally invasive approach with no incisions or scars
• Customizable treatments to address your specific goals
• The ability to combine multiple treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation
• Temporary and potentially reversible results (with some products), allowing patients to get a "preview" of what their surgical results could look like

How long do injectables last?

The longevity of injectable results depends on the type of injectable used and your unique response to treatment. Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX typically last about 3 – 4 months, while dermal fillers can maintain their effects for six months to two years, depending on the product and treatment area. Our knowledgeable team can recommend an injectable treatment schedule to help you enjoy consistent results.

Are fillers and BOTOX safe?

When performed by a skilled professional, injectables are considered highly safe and effective. Dr. Kim has extensive training and experience in nonsurgical facial rejuvenation, ensuring treatments are safe, precise, and tailored to your needs. During your consultation, he will thoroughly assess your goals and discuss any questions or concerns you have to help give you the comfort and confidence you deserve ahead of your customized treatment.
