What Are Injectables?

Injectables are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to enhance facial appearance by relaxing wrinkles or restoring volume. The two most common types are:

Botox (Wrinkle Relaxer)

Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, preventing deepening wrinkles and softening existing fine lines. It is commonly used for:

• Forehead Lines – Smooths horizontal creases on the forehead
• Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines) – Softens vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows
• Crow’s Feet – Reduces fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes
• Bunny Lines – Minimizes wrinkles on the nose
• Lip Lines – Softens vertical lines around the lips
• Jaw Slimming – Relaxes the masseter muscle for a more contoured jawline

In addition to aesthetic benefits, Botox can also treat TMJ pain and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Dermal Fillers (Volume Restorer)

Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances, primarily made of hyaluronic acid, that restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used for:

• Cheek Enhancement – Adds volume to sunken cheeks for a lifted appearance
• Nasolabial Folds – Softens deep lines between the nose and mouth
• Marionette Lines – Reduces lines extending from the corners of the mouth
• Lip Augmentation – Plumps and defines lips for a fuller look
• Chin & Jawline Contouring – Enhances facial balance and structure
• Under-Eye Hollows – Fills tear troughs to reduce dark circles and a tired appearance

Both Botox and fillers can be combined for a complete facial rejuvenation, offering natural, refreshed results.
