Men and women are often unhappy with their facial appearance as they age. Environmental factors, genetics, and the natural aging process start to set in. Because of this, the face tends to not appear full and smooth like it once did. Fine lines, wrinkles, and lost volume begin to take over, making it harder to be confident in your once youthful skin. However, injectables, like BOTOX® Cosmetic, and fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, can enhance the appearance of your skin and give you back the confidence you’ve been missing.

What Are Injectables and Fillers?

Injectables and dermal fillers are non-surgical treatments designed to enhance the appearance of the skin. There are many different substances that create this refreshed and smooth appearance, like botulinum toxin A in BOTOX® Cosmetic and a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA) in JUVÉDERM®. These injectables and dermal fillers can last anywhere from a few months up to two years, and it is recommended that repeat treatments be performed to keep up with the look you desire.

How Do They Work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic works by temporarily immobilizing the muscles that cause those pesky fine lines and wrinkles. When a person makes repetitive movements, the skin and tissue break down, making you appear older and more weathered than you are. Dermal fillers increase volume in the facial area, which helps to smooth out and fill in those lines and wrinkles. These injectable treatments are quick, require little-to-no downtime, and offer long-lasting results.
