Cosmetic Injectables: An Overview

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks nerve signals and relaxes the muscles surrounding the injection area. The most commonly recognized benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment are:

  • Achieving smoother skin
  • Lessening deepness of lines in the face
  • Preventing development of wrinkles

Additionally, BOTOX® Cosmetic:

  • Is non-invasive
  • Achieves noticeable results in a few days
  • Treatments last 3-6 months (results vary by person)
  • Requires no recovery time

XEOMIN®

XEOMIN® is an injectable medication that soothes muscles to temporarily reduce or diminish moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Benefits of using XEOMIN® may include:

  • Achieving smoother skin
  • Lessening deepness of lines in the face
  • Preventing development of wrinkles

Additionally, XEOMIN®:

  • Is non-invasive
  • Achieves noticeable results in a few days
  • Treatments last 3-6 months (results vary by person)
  • Requires no recovery time

JUVÉDERM®

JUVÉDERM® is used to reduce the visible effects of aging. Rather than relaxing facial muscles, JUVÉDERM® is designed to: 

  • Fill in deep wrinkles
  • Restore lost volume in the face

Additionally, JUVÉDERM®:

  • Is non-invasive
  • Achieves noticeable results instantly and full results in about two weeks

How to Prepare for Your Appointment and What You Can Expect:

To prepare for your appointment:

  • Arrive without makeup or other products on your face, so that your provider can most effectively evaluate you for treatment.
  • Be ready to answer questions about your medical history and current medical status. Pregnant or nursing women should not receive cosmetic injectable treatments. 
  • Read and follow pretreatment instructions given to you by your provider during your evaluation appointment.

Other Considerations:

  • Will I experience any pain?

BOTOX® Cosmetic and XEOMIN® treatments use small needles, causing minimal discomfort (though patients sometimes describe a “pinch-like” feeling). For JUVÉDERM®, patients will occasionally experience some swelling, pain, and tenderness. 

  • Are there side effects?

Cosmetic injectables generally cause very few side effects. If any are experienced, they may include headache and minor bruising or swelling at the injection site. We will provide you with a description of possible side effects prior to your procedure. 

  • How long will the appointment take?

Your evaluation and treatment will take about 30 minutes.

  • Are there precautions to follow after treatment?

There are some mild restrictions on facial skin care, exercise, and other activities following the procedure. You will receive written aftercare instructions to read and follow.
