Get To Know Your Injectable Options Joseph A Russo, MD

Injectables provide a quick, easy, and minimally invasive way to improve your appearance, reclaim your youth, and increase your confidence, but with so many options to choose from, it can be hard to make a decision.

Keep reading to learn more about some of the options available:

KYBELLA: This treatment is designed specifically to improve the appearance of the chin. It works to target the fat that creates the appearance of a double chin. When it is injected into the skin, it causes the destruction of fat cells. After the cells have been destroyed fat is no longer stored or accumulated in that area.

Radiesse: This is a robust dermal filler that can be used to add volume and restore contour to the face. It lasts up to a year or more, which is longer than some other dermal fillers and it has the unique ability to stimulate collagen production.

Juvederm: This is an FDA approved dermal filler that uses hyaluronic acid, which is produced naturally by your body. This filler has a smoother texture than other fillers and results can last for up to a year.

Belotero Balance: This is a soft, gel based dermal filler that is used to plump the lips and improve lines and wrinkles on the face. Results usually last up to 6 months.

Sculptra Aesthetic: This treatment works more gradually than other treatments with the benefit of lasting up to two years. It gradually corrects smile lines and other wrinkles by replacing collagen that was lost during the aging process.

BOTOX: This classic injectable is used to eliminate wrinkles—particularly wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements in the face. It works by temporarily weakening muscles in the targeted area.

Injectables provide patients with a non-invasive way to improve their appearance and look younger. These treatments have very minor side effects and require almost no recovery time.

If you’re looking for a subtle, natural looking way to reclaim your youth, injectables could provide the answer. Schedule a consultation with Boston plastic surgeon, Dr. Russo to discuss the many options available. He can help you determine which treatment is best suited to your goals.
