Plastic surgery is the most popular way of addressing common concerns with the face and body. However, patients who have mild to moderate changes and want to make improvements may discover that there are a wide range of cosmetic injectables that can be used to eliminate the need for invasive and expensive surgery. With injectables, patients can combat the signs of aging, reduce their double chin, or add volume to hollowed facial features.
What injectables are available with Dr. Daniel Tresley of Northbrook?
- Neuromodulators – neuromodulators are a line of products that work to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around muscles of the face. Popular brands include Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. These use botulinum toxin type A to inhibit muscle contractions and in turn smooth the face, reducing or eliminating crow’s feet, glabellar lines (lines between the eyebrows), and forehead folds.
- Dermal fillers – dermal fillers often use an ingredient known as hyaluronic acid to add volume directly where it is needed. These are injected into wrinkles and folds of the face to smooth the skin and create a more youthful look. Some popular dermal fillers include Juvéderm and Radiesse.
- Kybella – patients with a dreaded “double chin” may incorrectly believe that their only option for addressing this excess fat under the chin is with liposuction or other cosmetic surgeries. Kybella is a cosmetic injectable that can be used in this area to reduce submental fullness, slowly eliminating fat cells in the area for a firmer look.
- Sculptra – this special injectable works differently than others, restoring volume in larger places such as the cheekbones. Sculptra injections last much longer than other injectables as they stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen for lasting results. Sculptra can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic injectables to achieve a more dramatic change in the facial appearance.
