Smooth wrinkles and restore natural beauty with safe, non-surgical tailored treatments.
Injectables for Facial Rejuvenation
Injectables are non-surgical treatments designed to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. These treatments effectively smooth wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as those around the eyes or forehead. Results typically last 3-6 months, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
How Do Injectables Work?
Injectables work by blocking nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This relaxation of targeted muscles reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. Over time, dynamic wrinkles can lead to static wrinkles, persist even when the face is relaxed. While injectables address dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles may require other treatments, such as fillers, dermabrasion, or surgical procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Injectables are administered using a very fine needle just beneath the skin. The process is quick, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. Dr. Harris will carefully evaluate your facial expressions to determine the precise areas for injection, ensuring a balanced and natural result.
How Do These Treatments Work?
The injectables used in our practice target specific nerve signals in facial muscles, preventing them from contracting. This temporary relaxation allows the skin to smooth out, reducing the visibility of wrinkles. Over time, the effects gradually wear off as the body naturally regenerates new nerve endings, typically within 3-6 months.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Injectables are generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Rarely, temporary eyelid or brow drooping can occur, but this usually resolves within a few weeks. If you have allergies or certain medical conditions, consult with Dr. Harris to ensure injectables are a safe option for you. These treatments are not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or nursing.
How Long Do Results Last?
Most patients experience noticeable improvements within 3-7 days of treatment, with results lasting approximately 3-6 months. To maintain a refreshed and youthful appearance, follow-up treatments can be scheduled as needed.
