Injectables
at LA ViE MD

Injectable dermal fillers are substances injected into the skin to help smooth wrinkles, restore lost facial volume, and improve facial contours. 

Dermal fillers help restore facial fullness to improve facial contours and smooth wrinkles. In contrast, other injectables like Botox or Dysport target muscle-related wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, which may help achieve a smoother appearance.

Dermal fillers may help restore lost volume to areas like under the eyes and cheeks, smooth deep lines, and contour the face. They can lift sagging skin, soften the appearance of wrinkles, and improve facial symmetry for a refreshed look.

Injectables like dermal fillers (Juvederm, Sculptra) and Botox are commonly used to help achieve a more youthful look. Dermal fillers may restore volume to smooth wrinkles, while Botox helps relax facial muscles to reduce lines.

For aging skin, a hyaluronic acid-based filler like Juvederm may be effective for treating deeper wrinkles. It may help restore volume to areas like the cheeks, under eyes, and nasolabial folds. Sculptra, which stimulates collagen production, is also a good option for long-term skin rejuvenation, particularly for restoring facial volume gradually.

Before your dermal filler procedure, you will consult with a qualified professional who will assess your goals and recommend the best injectable treatment plan. You may be advised to avoid blood thinners or supplements before treatment. 

The duration of dermal filler results can vary depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. In general, most dermal fillers may last up to two years.

Optimal results are often achieved with one session. However, depending on the treatment area and the filler used, some clients may require follow-up sessions or touch-ups to maintain results. The number of sessions may vary based on your individual case.

Injectable facial fillers typically have minimal downtime. Besides being an outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to go back to your regular routine immediately after treatment. This is unlike liposuction and facial fat grafting treatments that require an overnight hospital stay and rest for up to two weeks.

Injectable treatments are generally well-tolerated, especially when numbing agents are used to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience slight pinching or pressure during the procedure, but this is typically temporary.

Results from injectable fillers are often visible immediately after treatment. However, full results may take a couple of days to become evident. For collagen-stimulating fillers like Sculptra, full results may take several weeks as collagen production increases over time.

Injectables may be safely combined with other treatments like facials, laser therapy, or skin resurfacing to enhance overall results. For example, combining Botox with laser skin resurfacing may provide improved facial rejuvenation outcomes.

Dermal fillers and Botox serve different purposes, so they may complement each other. Botox is typically used to relax dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement (like crow’s feet or frown lines), while dermal fillers may restore lost volume and fill static wrinkles.
