Look Years Younger in Mere Minutes With Injectables

We don’t often call something game-changing, but cosmetic injectables certainly fit the bill. These quick-and-easy treatments are helping millions of people to turn back the clock on aging skin.

Back in 2002, the FDA approval of Botox® set the stage for what would be a revolution in anti-aging treatments — cosmetic injectables.

Today, more than 17 million cosmetic injectable procedures occurred in the United States in 2023, and the numbers continue to grow.

There are many reasons behind the phenomenal growth in cosmetic injectables, and Dr. Jonathan Zelken and our team of aestheticians dive into a few of them here.

The versatility of cosmetic injectables

What our clients really appreciate is the versatility of cosmetic injectables — we can accomplish an impressively wide range of cosmetic goals, including:

  • Relaxing forehead lines
  • Reducing crow’s feet
  • Erasing frown lines
  • Smoothing out bumpy under-eye areas
  • Filling in deep lines, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Plumping lips
  • Getting rid of smokers’ lines around the lips
  • Restoring volume in hollowed-out cheeks
  • Lifting jowls
  • Filling in craggy-looking hands

As this video points out, we can even use fillers to make some changes in your nose, a procedure we call injectable rhinoplasty.

The versatility of cosmetic injectables is almost limitless in the right hands as we can sculpt, smooth, and lift for great results.

When you're not ready for surgery

Dr. Zelken is a highly sought-after facelift surgeon who can work magic with this procedure. If you’re not quite ready for a facelift, cosmetic injectables are a fantastic intermediary step.

With cosmetic injectables, we can stall the aging process for some time before facial surgery becomes the better solution.

Cosmetic injectables are quick and easy

Right behind versatility, our clients love that cosmetic injectables are quick and easy. Our experienced team can administer these treatments in mere minutes, which makes them a quick stop in your otherwise busy day.

The results are equally quick, if not immediate, when it comes to dermal fillers. Once we inject the filler, you realize the benefits right away. 

For neuromodulators like Botox, results take a little more time — about a week — before your lines and wrinkles smooth out.

When results begin to fade (depending upon the type, injectables last from 3-18 months, on average), all you need to do is return for another quick round of injections.
