The ideal candidates for injectable cosmetic treatments are adult men and women who:

• Are in good overall health

• Want to smooth and reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines

• Want to avoid the formation of new wrinkles

• Have age-related loss of volume in the face

• Want to improve facial features with extra volume (cheeks, lips)

• Want to refresh and rejuvenate their look without surgery

During your detailed exam, our team will go over which injectable treatment is ideal for you and your beauty goals. We offer wrinkle relaxer, dermal filler as an outpatient treatment, which can be carried out the same day as your initial visit. You may be instructed to create various facial expressions using the muscles in the upper face, which allows us to target the injections in the appropriate area. To start, we prepare your skin, mark the treatment sites, and use a thin needle to deliver your injections. To minimize discomfort and bruising, we apply a cold compress right after the injections. Depending on the formula type and amount of injections, your procedure should take around 10 – 15 minutes, and then you can resume your previously planned routine.

Following your injectable treatments with wrinkle relaxers or dermal fillers, you may return to your typical schedule; even so, you should avoid heavy workouts or other strenuous activities for no less than 24 hours. For the first couple of days, you should abstain from touching your face or neck, as this might accidentally circulate the formula to other regions. The injection sites could appear flushed, slightly sore, or sensitive to the touch, but this should disappear within a matter of days. Based on the formula we used, your results could take a few days to finalize. The length of your results will also vary depending on the injection you received. Neuromodulators typically last up to four months and some fillers endure for a year or more. Before you leave, our team at Revitalize BodyMD will provide thorough aftercare recommendations and discuss when to come in for further injections.

BOTOX generally pairs well with other aesthetic services for women and men who wish to minimize aging concerns. If you experience more pronounced and extensive facial wrinkles and creases, we may talk with you about adding a filler to help you achieve maximum outcomes. To further maximize your youthful and radiant appearance, Dr. Rodrigo, MD. could discuss additional complementary procedures, such as microneedling, laser skin resurfacing, or facials.

BOTOX is a specific formulation of wrinkle relaxer that exists within a multitude of other effective brands, like Dysport®, XEOMIN, and Jeuveau®. These wrinkle-reducing treatments utilize botulinum toxin type A, but each is designed uniquely to address specific problems.

The cost for your cosmetic injections, whether you opt for a relaxer like BOTOX or a filler like JUVÉDERM, will vary based on the number of treatments that are needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your treatments, a customized injection plan will be created to fit your aesthetic goals. Once this is complete, your injector can discuss cost estimates and payment options.

Although many patients don't find it necessary, a numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment area prior to injection if you're concerned about pain. Following the treatment, you may have some slight bruising and swelling that will usually reduce over the next week, depending on the treatment area. Please contact Revitalize BodyMD if you have any severe discomfort or signs of infection following your treatment.

Both fillers and neuromodulars correct facial wrinkles but through different methods. Injectable relaxers such as BOTOX work to treat dynamic wrinkles created by repetitive muscle movements. An injectable wrinkle filler, like JUVÉDERM, corrects static wrinkles by increasing volume. JUVÉDERM is designed to correct mild to moderate lines and wrinkles or reverse volume loss in your lips and cheeks.
