Injectables in Hollywood, FL: Who is a Good Candidate?

Injectables are a class of anti-aging treatments that can restore facial volume and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you are a Hollywood, FL resident who is displeased with the appearance of your aging face, this type of treatment can offer you real results without the need to go under the knife. Injectables are available in a wide range of formulations. If you wish to minimize lines and wrinkles, there is likely to be a treatment that is suitable for you.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are types of injectables that usually involve treatment with hyaluronic acid. Each substance is suitable for slightly different skin conditions and age groups. We will help you determine which dermal filler is right for you and your individual wants and needs during an initial consultation at our office in Hollywood, FL.

Fat Transfer Injectables

Treatment with fat transfer injectables involves fat being taken from one area of your body for transfer into an area of your face requiring additional facial volume. This type of treatment is suitable for the minimization of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as a loss of facial volume.

What About the Results?

One of the most gratifying aspects of treatment with these injectables is that your results will be immediately noticeable. You should also expect no major side effects or requirement for downtime. It is important, however, to keep in mind that injectables do not offer permanent results. In other words, the injected materials will be progressively absorbed by your body and require replacement at our office in Hollywood, FL.

BOTOX®, XEOMIN® and Dysport®

Most people in Hollywood, FL and elsewhere have heard about BOTOX®, but they may be less familiar with injectables like XEOMIN® and Dysport®. They are all designed to treat dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles that are responsible for them.

Sculptra®

Sculptra® is a special type of injectable involving the injection of a substance called polylactic acid, which is chemically similar to the lactic acid produced by your muscles after you exercise vigorously. Approved by the FDA in 2004, Sculptra® is effective in reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and restoring facial volume. Once the polylactic acid is injected into your face, it is gradually replaced by collagen. Sculptra® is the only injectable known to actually rebuild collagen within your skin.
