Cosmetic injectables are among the most popular, effective, and result-driven anti-aging treatments available today. When administered by experts, they can help rejuvenate and enhance your best features.
At Grand Forks Dermatology & Aesthetics, our injectable treatments are designed to enhance your natural radiance. We offer advanced, safe, and effective solutions to address various aesthetic concerns, and injectables are integral to achieving naturally stunning results.
Injectable treatments refer to cosmetic procedures that involve the injection of substances such as neuromodulators into the skin to achieve specific aesthetic goals. These treatments are commonly used in dermatology and aesthetics to address signs of aging, enhance facial features, and improve overall skin appearance.
For cosmetic and medical treatments, neuromodulators often refer to a specific type of substance used to block the nerve signals in the injected area temporarily. When the muscles causing the wrinkles are relaxed, neuromodulators smooth out the overlying skin.
The most common neuromodulator in this category is botulinum toxin, commercially known as BotoxⓇ. At Grand Forks Dermatology & Aesthetics, we offer a range of injectable treatments designed to target specific cosmetic concerns.
It's useful to note that injectables are temporary solutions, and their effects gradually wear off over time. The longevity of results varies among different injectables. Typically, maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the desired outcomes.
BotoxⓇ (Botulinum Toxin)
BotoxⓇ is a neuromodulator that temporarily paralyzes or weakens muscles. By temporarily paralyzing or weakening the targeted muscles, BotoxⓇ reduces muscle contractions responsible for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by facial movements). This results in a smooth and more youthful appearance.
It is often used to smooth out frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. BotoxⓇ treatments are known for their quick results, minimal downtime, and versatility in addressing various cosmetic concerns.
DaxxifyⓇ
DaxxifyⓇ is a novel and innovative treatment option that offers advanced solutions for achieving a smoother and more youthful appearance. Like BotoxⓇ, DaxxifyⓇ operates by injecting a minute amount of botulinum toxin into underlying muscles.
This neuromodulation causes the targeted muscles to relax, leading to a smoothing effect on the overlying skin. The result is a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
What sets DaxxifyⓇ apart from its counterparts is how long it stays effective. While most neuromodulators provide results lasting about three months, DaxxifyⓇ results may last up to six months.
Additionally, while BotoxⓇ is made from human serum albumin, DaxxifyⓇ relies on peptides or amino acids. This can make DaxxifyⓇ an appealing option for those seeking products with alternative ingredient sources.
Dermal fillers are used as injectables that add volume to sites with age-related volume loss, fill in wrinkles and lines, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers also attract and retain moisture, improving skin hydration and elasticity.
Dermal fillers often address nasolabial folds and marionette lines and help plump up lips.
KybellaⓇ
KybellaⓇ helps destroy fat cells in the treated area. When injected into the submental fat beneath the chin, it disrupts the fat cells’ membranes and causes them to break down. The body can then eliminate the fat through its metabolic processes naturally.
KybellaⓇ treatments usually involve multiple sessions administered over several sittings. The number of sessions can differ for each patient depending on their desired outcome.
KybellaⓇ is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing a double chin. Results are typically gradual, and multiple treatments may be needed to achieve the desired outcome.
With platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments, a small amount of the patient's blood is extracted and processed to concentrate its platelets. This is then injected into the skin.
Platelets are rich in growth factors and other bioactive proteins. When injected into the skin, PRP stimulates collagen production, promotes tissue repair, and improves skin texture. It's often used for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration.
