At Prizant Dermatology in Pittsburgh, PA, we are committed to helping you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. With a variety of high-quality injectable treatments available, we can address wrinkles, restore facial volume, and rejuvenate your skin in a fast, non-invasive way. If you’re considering facial fillers or neurotoxins to enhance your look, this guide will help you understand your options and determine which treatment might be right for you.
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments designed to reduce wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Prizant Dermatology offers three of the most effective neurotoxins available: BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and XEOMIN®. Each of these products is FDA-approved and highly regarded for their ability to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX® is one of the most recognized names in cosmetic treatments. Introduced in 2002, it’s a trusted solution for reducing forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Millions of patients worldwide have relied on BOTOX® to help them achieve a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.
Jeuveau®, also known as “Newtox,” is the latest addition to the neurotoxin family, introduced in 2019. Its formula is similar to BOTOX®, and it’s particularly popular among younger patients looking for a preventive approach to wrinkle formation.
XEOMIN® has been on the market since 2011 and is an excellent choice for treating frown lines and crow’s feet. It’s often recommended for patients who don’t respond as effectively to BOTOX®. The unique “naked” formula of XEOMIN® excludes unnecessary additives, potentially reducing the risk of resistance over time.
Facial fillers work differently than neurotoxins by addressing wrinkles, lines, and volume loss by adding fullness to the skin. Prizant Dermatology offers several high-quality fillers tailored to your unique needs.
Juvederm® is a widely-used hyaluronic acid filler ideal for softening nasolabial folds and lines around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid naturally binds to water in your skin, creating a plumping effect that smooths wrinkles and enhances volume.
Similar to Juvederm®, Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid-based filler. It’s particularly effective for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the face and can also be used for subtle lip enhancement.
Voluma® is specifically designed to restore volume in the cheeks. With age, the cheeks often lose their natural fullness, creating a hollow or sunken look. Voluma® effectively lifts and contours this area, providing a youthful appearance.
Sculptra® stands out by using poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra® works gradually, with results improving over several months. It’s a fantastic option for improving skin laxity and achieving long-lasting results.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is another innovative option for facial rejuvenation. At Prizant Dermatology, we use the XL Medica PRP system to deliver a high concentration of growth factors derived from your own blood. PRP stimulates collagen production and accelerates healing, making it an excellent choice for reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and addressing scars.
Choosing the right injectable treatment depends on your unique aesthetic goals and areas of concern. Here are some general guidelines:
Fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement: Neurotoxins like BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, or XEOMIN® are ideal for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.
Volume loss in the cheeks or lips: Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm®, Restylane®, or Voluma® are perfect for restoring lost volume, enhancing facial contours, and providing natural-looking plumpness.
Improving skin texture and firmness: Sculptra® or PRP can stimulate collagen production for long-term improvements in skin quality, addressing concerns such as mild skin laxity or uneven texture.
Softening deep folds and creases: Fillers like Juvederm® are highly effective for minimizing nasolabial folds and marionette lines, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Preventing wrinkle formation in younger patients: Preventive neurotoxins, such as Jeuveau®, can help delay the onset of wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles before lines become deeply etched.
Addressing scars or uneven skin tone: PRP therapy is an excellent option for reducing the appearance of acne scars or improving overall skin tone and radiance.
The best way to determine the right treatment for you is through a personalized consultation. Our experienced team will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized plan to achieve your desired results.
Absolutely! Combining injectables is a great way to achieve comprehensive and natural-looking results. For example, pairing neurotoxins like BOTOX® with fillers such as Juvederm® can smooth wrinkles while restoring volume to areas like the cheeks or lips. Adding PRP therapy to your regimen can enhance skin texture and stimulate collagen production, creating a more radiant, youthful appearance.
