Injectables
Southern Illinois Dermatology offers a variety of industry-leading injectables to meet your cosmetic wants and needs. Here are some of the products we utilize to provide our patients with incredible results.
Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows within days of just one quick 10-minute treatment. Injections of Botox® Cosmetic can also improve crow’s feet and forehead lines and achieve brow lifting. The noticeable, natural-looking results appear quickly and can last up to 4 months. Patients who regularly receive Botox® Cosmetic injections may even see results lasting beyond 4 months.
Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A and is a prescription medicine used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by weakening the muscles and causing improvement in the overlying wrinkles. Crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines can also be improved by the injection of Xeomin.
Bellafill® is a dual-acting injectable dermal filler to improve deep lines at the base of the nose and creases of the mouth (nasolabial folds), as well as the appearance of moderate to severe acne scars. Bellafill’s tiny, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres are suspended within a base of smooth collagen gel. Once injected, the collagen gel immediately reduces the look of smile lines. Over time, your body uses the microspheres in Bellafill to create a “scaffold” onto which your own natural collagen can develop. This collagen forms a foundation that adds volume to wrinkles, reducing their appearance – and giving you natural-looking results that feel soft and smooth for up to 5 years.
Bellafill® is the only FDA-approved dermal filler with established safety and effectiveness through five years in the U.S.
Belotero injectable dermal filler is designed to be as unique as you are. This filler is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a water-binding ingredient that naturally exists in your skin. The water-binding effect of this filler allows it to integrate into your skin, mold to your distinct facial contours, and fill in wrinkles and folds. Belotero is a versatile product strong enough to handle deep treatment areas, yet soft enough to treat more delicate areas. No matter where your treatment is targeted, your results will be immediate and very natural appearing. Find more information at Belotero.com.
Juvederm injectable gel is a nonsurgical treatment for wrinkles and folds and is made from hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness. The presence of HA in the skin may diminish with age, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvederm dermal fillers work to correct this by restoring HA in your skin, helping hydrate the skin, and adding volume to smooth out wrinkles and folds. Results can last up to 18 months after just one treatment with minimal recovery or downtime. However, results may vary, and supplemental “touch-up” treatments may be needed to achieve or maintain optimal results. We offer 2 of the Juvederm dermal fillers:
- JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS XC smooths moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around your nose and mouth.
- JUVÉDERM® ULTRA XC adds fullness and plumps lips as well as smooths and corrects moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in adults.
Radiesse is a safe, FDA-approved, dermal filler injected into the skin to soften creases and folds, support areas of volume loss, and contour specific facial areas. It can be used for midface rejuvenation by re-inflating the fat pads under the eyes to give a much more full and youthful cheek look. Radiesse has also been FDA approved for the correction of volume loss in the hands to reduce the appearance of prominent tendons of veins. Radiesse typically provides immediate, long-lasting natural and healthy-looking restoration for a year or more.
Restylane consists of a family of products including Restylane®, Restylane-L®, Restylane® Lyft, Restylane® Silk, Restylane® Refyne, and Restylane® Defyne. These products are used for mid-to-deep injection to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Some of these Restylane injectables can also be used for or have been specially designed for other cosmetic applications including lip injections, cheek augmentation, and age-related mid-face contouring. Some have been specially formulated to address deep vs. mid-level tissue, while others are designed with hyaluronic acid to maintain flexibility and facial expressions.
When considering Restylane products, your provider will review your skin care needs and goals and discuss which options may best suit your individual needs.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce the appearance of a double chin by destroying associated fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. The destroyed fat cells are then naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body, shrinking the size of your double chin over time. Kybella is administered across multiple injections into the fat tissue in the targeted area and may require 2 to 4 rounds of treatments to maximize your results.
