A Guide to Cosmetic Injectables: Neurotoxins and Dermal Fillers

Injectable treatments, including neurotoxins and dermal fillers, offer a quick, effective, and minimally invasive way to address minor imperfections and maintain a refreshed, natural look. These treatments can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, restore lost volume, and smooth facial lines with little to no downtime.

Understanding Neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau)

Neurotoxins are FDA-approved treatments that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for creating expression lines. As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and repetitive muscle contractions can lead to wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead furrows. By blocking the signals that cause muscles to contract, neurotoxins help create smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

• How they work: They relax targeted facial muscles to soften existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.

• "Micro-dosing": This technique uses smaller amounts of product to weaken muscles without paralyzing them, allowing for natural expression while treating mild wrinkles.

• What to expect: You may see initial results within a few days, but the full effect is typically visible in one to two weeks. The results generally last about three months.

• Onset of action: The time it takes to see results can vary. Dysport often works in 2-4 days, Xeomin or Jeuveau in 1-2 days, and BOTOX may take 4-7 days.

Combining neurotoxins with other skin treatments like fillers or microneedling can enhance results and help maintain smoother skin over time.

Understanding Dermal Fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane, RHA®)

Dermal fillers are injectable gels that restore volume to the skin and soft tissues. Youthful skin is rich in collagen and hyaluronic acid, which provide structure, elasticity, and hydration. With age, these substances decrease, leading to thinner, drier skin, fine lines, and a hollowed appearance in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.

• How they work: Fillers replace lost volume, soften wrinkles, and smooth folds for a more youthful contour. Most are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body.

• Customized treatment: A combination of fillers with different properties can be used at various depths to address specific areas of volume loss.

• Longevity: Most traditional hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 and 12 months.

• RHA® Fillers: The RHA® Collection is the first and only FDA-approved line of fillers designed for dynamic facial movement. Because they adapt to your expressions, they provide a very natural look and are shown to last up to 15 months.
