BOTOX is the most well-known injectable in a category referred to as “neuromodulators.” BOTOX works by temporarily disrupting nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected, which means that patients can no longer make extreme facial expressions that cause dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles form when you squint, frown, or smile, such as crow’s feet, glabellar lines, or horizontal forehead lines. With modern injection techniques, however, you can still freely express yourself and avoid the “frozen” look.

Before you receive injections, your health history will be reviewed to ensure that the product is safe for you. Your concerns will also be evaluated to ensure that Botox is your most effective option. For example, some wrinkles are caused by volume loss rather than repetitive motion, meaning that other injectables are more suitable.

On average, BOTOX results last about 3-4 months. Your results will vary depending on factors like the amount of BOTOX you receive, the treatment area, and whether you have received BOTOX in the past. Most patients find that their results will last longer over time with regular maintenance treatments. During a consultation, a treatment plan can be determined to achieve your best possible results, including scheduled maintenance or touch-up injections as needed.

As we age, we lose muscle and fat in our faces. We can experience shallow areas or volume deficiencies. Hyaluronic acid, a substance present in the skin, decreases during the aging process. To alleviate folds, wrinkles, and creases, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons offers JUVÉDERM and Restylane hyaluronic acid dermal filler products.

JUVÉDERM Voluma XC
Juvederm Voluma XC is commonly used to replenish lost facial volume in the mid-face and enhance the cheeks.

JUVÉDERM Volbella XC
Volbella was developed specifically for your lips and mouth area. It has been specifically developed as a smooth gel to give a soft, natural feel.

JUVÉDERM Vollure
Juvéderm Vollure is a soft, hyaluronic acid injectable gel filler that treats moderate to severe wrinkles and nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the side of the mouth.

JUVÉDERM Ultra XC
Juvéderm Ultra XC is an injectable gel that treats moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. It is also indicated for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip Augmentation.

Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft is FDA-approved for cheek augmentation and the correction of age-related midface. Our experienced staff offers this dermal filler for your facial rejuvenation.

Restylane Silk
Restylane Silk is a non-invasive option for facial cosmetics. The gel, made of hyaluronic acid works beneath the skin for your aesthetic appearance. The hyaluronic compound, when introduced beneath the skin, increases skin tissue volume.

Restylane Refyne and Defyne
Restylane Refyne and Defyne are designed to soften the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines on the face, while maintaining a patient’s natural appearance. These fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds water to the skin for a youthful appearance.

Both products are created using XpresHAn technology, which allows for the gel consistency to be flexible within the patient’s own skin. This results in a natural, soft appearance that all of us desire.

Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler belonging to the Restylane family of fillers. Using Galderma’s signature XpresHAn technology, this filler is specifically designed to stretch, mold, and flex with your natural lip movements for unparalleled feel and look. The newest option in Restylane’s lip filler options, Kysse can offer some great benefits to patients looking for non-surgical lip augmentation with results lasting 6-9 months.

Restylane Contour
Restylane Contour is a hyaluronic acid-based filler which is specifically designed to improve fullness and reduce aging signs in the cheek area. In addition, Restylane Contour can be used to non-surgically augment the cheeks for a more defined look. It uses Restylane’s proprietary XpresHAn technology, which allows for natural movement while remaining firm and resilient.

Most people see the loss of volume due to aging or weight loss. If this sounds like you, then you are most likely a candidate for Sculptra. By meeting with our expert injectors, they can tell you how Sculptra may benefit you.

The main ingredient in Sculptra is a synthetic, biocompatible lactic acid-based sugar called Poly-l-lactic acid. Unlike other fillers, Sculptra stimulates the body to produce collagen naturally. This production enables the skin to thicken up to three times its previous volume.

The results? A smoother, more youthful appearance. Sculptra is different from other fillers in that it works gradually throughout time. During the procedure, your injector determines the best placement of your injections. Over a few months, these three sessions are scheduled for optimal results and allow for the gradual smoothing of skin to occur.

Sclerotherapy is the most common treatment for spider veins and some varicose veins. Sclerotherapy consists of one or a series of simple injections of medication. Using a very fine needle, the solution is carefully injected into the vein under supervision. The solution damages the inner lining of the vein causing it to close down. Once the vein is closed, it shrinks and eventually disappears.

Wearing a compression sock afterward for a few days and walking immediately after the treatment for about 15 minutes helps keep the veins empty. The ideal interval time between treatments is approximately one month. Most people need several treatments for optimal results.

Aging and other life events can be hard on the skin. At Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons, in addition to plastic surgery procedures, we are thrilled to offer minimally invasive injectables for patients in Scottsdale, AZ and the surrounding areas. Whether you want to increase facial volume, get rid of spider veins, or minimize dynamic wrinkles and lines, we can help put together a treatment plan that works for you.
