What Areas of the Face Can be Treated with Injectables?

Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers are popular for a reason. These injectables can enhance your facial features by reducing lines and wrinkles, adding volume to sunken areas, and restoring a more youthful appearance overall.

Best of all, our treatments can be personalized based on your needs and desired results. Read below to learn where cosmetic injectables can be used, or book an appointment at About Face & Body Medical Spa. Our professionals in Katy, TX are happy to discuss your options.

Forehead and brow

Forehead wrinkles, also known as horizontal lines or "worry lines," are a very common but unwanted sign of aging. These lines are the result of repeated facial expressions and can make a person seem stressed or tired. Injectable treatments are an excellent way to feel more refreshed and rejuvenated.

Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® work by blocking the nerve signals to the muscles in your forehead. This prevents them from contracting, and, as a result, the overlying skin then becomes much smoother and firmer. They also prevent the formation of new wrinkles over time. BOTOX, Dysport, and XEOMIN last 3 – 4 months before a touch-up treatment is needed.

Eyes and under-eye area

The eyes are often referred to as the "windows to the soul." But as we age, the skin around our eyes becomes thin and wrinkled, making us look older than we actually are. These lines are called Crow's feet, and they are caused by repeated movements like squinting or smiling. Wrinkle relaxers can target the muscles around the eyes so Crow's feet are visibly reduced.

Do you have dark circles or hollows under your eyes? Dermal fillers can be perfect for addressing these problems. JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® are cosmetic injectables that use hyaluronic acid (HA) to add volume to the under-eye area. With proper maintenance in Katy, TX, the results of HA-based fillers can last up to a year or longer.

Cheeks and mid-face

Over time, our cheeks may become sunken or hollowed out due to a natural decrease in collagen production. Factors like weight loss or genetics can also cause these issues. Dermal fillers contour and define the cheekbones without resorting to surgical implants. In fact, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC and Restylane® Contour are specific products designed for cheek augmentation.

Lips

Many people desire fuller lips because they are associated with youth and beauty. Dermal fillers add volume to thin or asymmetrical lips that make you feel self-conscious. If you want to take the plunge, JUVÉDERM and Restylane are excellent options for nonsurgical lip augmentation. They also minimize vertical lip lines, or "smoker's lines."

Chin and jawline

A strong chin and defined jawline are desirable facial features for both men and women. However, some people have a weak chin or an undefined jawline due to genetics or aging. Dermal fillers can add volume or contour these areas for a more balanced and defined appearance.
