To understand what injectables do, it’s important to understand what happens to the aging face. Over time, people acquire facial lines and wrinkles and the skin on their faces also starts to look less full. How wrinkled you get is partly genetic, but mostly determined by exposure to the sun. Sun exposure weakens the collagen and elastic tissue of the skin, which causes sagging and wrinkling. Over the years, the face also loses volume from a natural decrease in bone and fat that happens as we age.

• Botulinum toxins soften lines by preventing muscles from contracting when we talk, chew or make facial expressions. This selective weakening of the facial muscles smoothes the appearance of lines and helps prevent new lines from forming over time.
• Soft tissue fillers smooth wrinkles and help plump up “hollowed out” areas of the face, such as in the cheeks where facial volume has been lost during the aging process. They can also help smooth scars and plump lips. Overfilling and other complications can result when fillers are administered by an unskilled individual.

If you’re considering an injectable cosmetic treatment, our Aesthetic Registered Nurse will work with you to determine if you would benefit from Botox, a soft tissue filler, or both in order to meet your aesthetic goals.
