Injectables are neuromodulators and fillers that are a great, minimally invasive way to reduce signs of aging and diminish the appearance of other skin issues such as acne scars. Each injectable specializes in helping give you a more youthful look either by volumizing areas of your face to create smooth skin or freezing muscles that cause lines and wrinkles.
Injectables
Our plastic surgeon offers several injectable products including BOTOX™ Cosmetic and Juvederm™.
Our team is one of the top Allergan partners in the United States and has been honored as a Platinum member.
Juvederm™
Juvederm is used to help add volume to your face and is made of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. This non-animal, smooth gel is injected into your skin and helps your body retain moisture and restore softness. Juvederm™ is great for treating acne scars, skin depressions and filling in wrinkles and lines on your cheeks. This dermal filler can be used for lip augmentation as well. The results can last up to 6 months or longer before another treatment is needed. Our team also offers Juvederm Voluma® XC.
Perlane
Perlane is another dermal filler that uses hyaluronic acid for moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. This injectable is similar to Restylane and Juvederm™, but works best for deep folds around your nose and lips. Perlane can also be used to increase volume in your lips. Your results could last 6 to 9 months or longer. Perlane is minimally invasive, takes less than 15 minutes and requires little to no down time.
Caution: It’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to administer your injectables in San Francisco in order to avoid complications and adverse side effects.
Speak with our team to see which injectable will work best for you and your desired look. Injectable fillers can be done along side a chemical peel or other skin resurfacing treatments to give you maximum results.
