Which Injectable Treatments Do We Provide?
At Prizant Dermatology, we offer a comprehensive selection of injectable treatments designed to soften lines, restore facial volume, and enhance your features. Each option serves a specific purpose, from relaxing expression lines to replenishing areas where volume has diminished.
Neurotoxins
Prizant Dermatology is proud to provide three of the best neurotoxin options available: BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and XEOMIN®. Each of these products is an FDA-approved treatment for reducing wrinkles.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® is easily the most famous of these injectable cosmetic treatments. With BOTOX®, our professionals can reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and other issues. The product first appeared in 2002 and has been used by millions of patients since.
Jeuveau®
Jeuveau® is the newest option, only offered since 2019. It has many similarities to BOTOX® in both style and chemical makeup and is gaining popularity among younger patients.
XEOMIN®
XEOMIN® has been on the market since 2011 and is a favorite for treating crow’s feet––the lines that crop up near the corners of the eyes. It also is very effective in treating frown lines and for patients who do not respond to BOTOX®.
Facial Fillers
Fillers address wrinkles, lines, sagging jowls, or loss of volume in the skin, cheeks, or lips. Unlike neurotoxins, these address wrinkles by adding volume to the skin rather than relaxing muscles.
Juvederm®
Juvederm is a highly-regarded facial dermal filler. It is often used to soften nasolabial folds and other lines around the mouth. Juvederm® is a hyaluronic acid filler, which uses a natural element in your skin that binds to water. The added hyaluronic acid causes your skin to retain more water, typically adding volume as a result.
Voluma®
Voluma® is a hyaluronic acid filler that is injected to increase volume in the cheeks. It is especially useful for correcting the sunken look that can sometimes come with age.
Restylane®
Restylane® is another hyaluronic acid filler. It is typically used for lines on the face.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® works a little differently from the hyaluronic acid fillers. It uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen growth. Although this takes a little longer to work, it should improve your skin laxity and composition. However, the results of all of our injectable treatments vary from patient to patient.
PRP for Facial Rejuvenation
Platelet-Rich Plasma can also be used to restore a youthful look to the face, and it can even be used for addressing issues like scars. With the XL Medica PRP system, our professional is able to deliver the finest level of quality and PRP concentration, generally leading to faster and better results.
Benefits of Injectable Treatments
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
Injectable treatments improve facial lines and volume without surgery or extensive recovery. They are an appealing option for patients seeking subtle yet meaningful enhancement with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
FDA-Approved and Clinically Proven
The injectables offered at Prizant Dermatology are FDA-approved for cosmetic use and have a long track record of safety and effectiveness when administered by professionals.
Targets Multiple Concerns
Injectables can address a wide range of aesthetic goals, from smoothing expression lines and refining facial contours to restoring lost volume and enhancing lip shape. Treatment plans are personalized for each area of the face.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. While mild swelling or redness may occur temporarily, recovery is typically quick and easy.
Natural-Looking Results
Dr. Prizant’s approach focuses on maintaining facial balance and expression. Results are designed to look fresh and authentic.
Gradual and Buildable Improvement
Many patients prefer to start with a conservative approach that can be adjusted gradually. This ensures that your treatment meets your desired level of subtlety or fullness.
Long-Lasting Effects
Depending on the product used, results may last several months to over a year. Maintenance sessions can preserve your outcome over time.
Customizable Treatment Plans
Each injectable option offers unique benefits, allowing Dr. Prizant to tailor treatments to your specific facial anatomy, goals, and preferences.
Safe to Repeat as Needed
Injectable treatments can be safely repeated at routine intervals. They are one of our most flexible options for long-term facial rejuvenation.
Supports Skin Quality From Within
PRP enhances skin health by stimulating collagen and elastin production, leaving skin smoother, firmer, and more even-toned.
Injectable Treatment Areas & What They Improve
Injectable treatments can be customized to enhance multiple areas of the face:
- Forehead and frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Cheeks and midface volume
- Lips and lip borders
- Under-eye (tear trough) area
- Jawline and chin contouring
What to Expect From Injectable Treatments
Consultation
Every injectable appointment at Prizant Dermatology begins with a consultation. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine which injectable options are best suited to your needs. From there, we create a treatment plan that reflects your unique facial structure and desired outcome.
Treatment
On the day of your appointment, the treatment area will be cleansed and prepared. We will then administer a series of carefully placed injections designed to create subtle, natural-looking improvement. The appointment is generally quick, often taking just 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
During the injections, most patients feel only mild pressure or a brief pinch. Most can return to regular daily activities immediately.
Post-Treatment Care
After your session, it’s normal to experience slight swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. Some patients may also experience minor bruising, depending on the area treated.
Our team provides personalized aftercare instructions to help ensure the best results, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and refraining from pressing or massaging the treated areas. As your skin settles, you’ll begin to notice the refreshed, more youthful appearance your treatment was designed to achieve.
Injectable Treatment Recovery and Aftercare
Injectable treatments place very little interruption on your routine, which is one reason they are so popular. After your appointment, you may notice mild redness, swelling, or tenderness near the injection sites. These effects are temporary. In most cases, they ade within several hours to a few days, depending on the treatment area and the sensitivity of your skin.
Most patients can return to work, run errands, or engage in social activities right away. We’ll recommend simple care steps — such as avoiding strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and direct pressure on the treated areas for a short period — to support the best possible outcome. As the product settles, your results will become more refined and natural.
Preparing for Your Injectable Appointment
A few small preparations can help ensure your treatment is smooth:
- Limit alcohol intake for 24 hours before your visit, as this may reduce the likelihood of bruising.
- Avoid blood-thinning supplements (such as fish oil or vitamin E) for several days before treatment, unless otherwise directed.
- Hold off on exfoliants, retinoids, or strong activities in the days leading up to your appointment.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, free of sunscreen and heavy skincare products.
- Consider planning treatment at least two weeks in advance of major events to allow for optimal settling time.
How to Maintain Your Results With Injectable Treatments
Maintaining results from injectable treatments involves a combination of consistent care and thoughtful timing. Neurotoxin treatments typically require touch-ups every three to four months to keep expression lines softened, while dermal fillers may last six months to over a year, depending on the product and area treated. PRP results build gradually and are best supported with periodic maintenance sessions to continue stimulating collagen over time.
Supporting your skin with daily sunscreen, a balanced skincare routine, healthy hydration, and adequate sleep can also help prolong your results. Rather than waiting for improvements to fade fully, scheduling maintenance appointments at recommended intervals keep your appearance refreshed and natural over time.
Combining Injectables for Best Results
Each injectable treatment has its own strengths, and many patients achieve the most natural-looking results when different treatments are used together.
- Neurotoxins soften movement-related lines, while dermal fillers restore the structure and volume that support facial contours.
- PRP can be added to enhance skin texture and radiance by stimulating collagen production, thereby improving the overall quality of the skin.
During your consultation, Dr. Prizant will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals to determine the most effective blend of treatments for you.
Candidates for Injectable Treatments
Injectable treatments are versatile and can be beneficial for a wide variety of patients. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are noticing fine lines, wrinkles, or areas where facial volume has diminished.
- Want to refresh your appearance without surgery or significant downtime.
- Are in overall good health and have no contraindications to treatment.
- Understand the difference between neurotoxins and fillers, and are open to personalized recommendations.
- Prefer results that look natural and support your facial balance.
- Have realistic expectations about the treatment process, results, and maintenance schedule.
Cost of Injectable Treatments
The cost of injectable treatments can vary depending on the type of product used, the number of areas being treated, and your individualized treatment plan. Because every face and aesthetic goal is different, the approach, and therefore the cost, will be tailored to your needs.
We will review your treatment options and provide clear pricing before any services are performed. You will know exactly what to expect and can move forward with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions About Injectable Treatments
Will my results look natural?
Yes. When performed by an experienced injector like Dr. Prizant, results look fresh and authentic. Our goal is to enhance your natural features instead of changing your appearance. Most patients report that friends notice they “look well-rested,” without realizing an injectable was involved.
How do neurotoxins and dermal fillers differ?
Neurotoxins such as BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and XEOMIN® soften expression lines by relaxing targeted facial muscles. Dermal fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® restore volume and contour by adding structure beneath the skin.
These treatments address different concerns, which is why many patients benefit from a combined approach. Choosing the right one depends on your goals and anatomy.
When will I see results?
Neurotoxin results typically begin to appear within several days and continue improving for up to two weeks. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume and shape, with results enhancing further as the product settles. Sculptra® works gradually, stimulating your own collagen for more subtle, long-term improvement.
We will explain when to expect visible changes based on the products used during your visit.
How often will I need maintenance treatments?
Maintenance schedules vary based on the injectable used and your individual goals. Neurotoxins typically require touch-ups every 3–4 months, whereas many dermal fillers last 6–18 months, depending on the product and the specific location. Sculptra® can provide longer-lasting results due to its collagen-stimulating properties. We will recommend a timeline that keeps your results consistent and natural.
