Overview

Aging can cause the face to lose laxity and volume, resulting in sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. San Antonio Plastic Surgery Institute offers a variety of injectable fillers in conjunction with The Heights Med Spa to help reduce the visible signs of aging. An injectable filler is a non-surgical procedure that adds volume under the skin to create a smoother, younger appearance. When combined with treatments such as BOTOX®, patients are able to experience a “liquid facelift” without surgery. The Heights Med Spa operates under the direct supervision of Dr. Decherd and Dr. Isakson to ensure that each treatment is administered with the highest degree of safety and expertise. The various injectables can be discussed in detail during the consultation.

BOTOX is probably one of the most popular nonsurgical facial cosmetic procedures in the U.S. today. It is used by both men and women to treat:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Horizontal forehead furrows
  • Vertical frown lines between the eyes

BOTOX can also be used to treat excessive sweating and assist with migraines.

During/After the Procedure

Prior to treatment, the practitioner will assess various aspects of the face and make marks directly on the skin to note where the injection sites will be. The face will be cleansed and a local anesthetic will be applied to help numb the top layer of skin. Using a syringe with a fine needle, the filler will be injected into the marked areas until the desired fullness has been achieved. Most patients are pleased with their results. While this will vary by filler product, most will produce results lasting from 3 months to a full year.

Injectable Filler FAQ’s

All injectable fillers on the market today are FDA-approved and are safe to use. It is important to discuss the differences between each filler treatment to decide which is the best choice for your specific situation.

The results of each injectable filler treatment will vary. On average, most will last between 3 months and a full year. Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane are among some of the most common fillers and usually last 6 months or longer. Fat injections will last the shortest amount of time because a portion will reabsorb into the body within several months.

Injectable fillers help to decrease wrinkles by adding volume to smooth the skin’s surface. BOTOX, Dysport and Xeomin offer a result that looks and acts similar, but with a different approach. These treatments use a neurotoxic agent injected into the skin to temporarily freeze overactive muscles causing wrinkles. When the muscles relax, the visible wrinkles on the outer layer of the skin relax and soften, resulting in a smoother, younger appearance.
