Non-Surgical Procedures
Injectable treatments such as Botox, Dysport, Restylane, and Juvederm have become extremely popular over the last 20 years both locally here in Houston and globally. There are many reasons why Botox and filler have gained such a steady following and continued to get patients to return for injections. Here are some of the reasons these injections are so well liked.
- Minimal discomfort – this can be mitigated even more with ice, numbing creams, and local nerve blocks
- Minimal downtime – mild swelling or bruising with fillers may last 2-3 days, but otherwise, patients are back to normal the following day
- Safety – some of these injectables have now been FDA approved for cosmetic purposes for over 15 years. Many fillers are synthetically made of hyaluronic acid – a naturally found building block in our body
- Duration – Botox and Dysport last 3-4 months while fillers such as Restylane can last 6-9 months and Juvederm, Voluma, or Sculptra up to 2 years. This is significantly improved from 3 months for collagen
- Injectable treatments can be done in the office and typically take less than ½ hour
- Cost – Botox, Dysport and fillers can be much more affordable than undergoing surgery
- Prevention – younger patients in their 20’s are now getting Botox and Dysport to help prevent the formation of future wrinkles
- Bridge – Patients in their 40’s and 50’s are waiting longer to undergo surgical procedures by receiving injectable treatments in the interim
