Clarifying the Types of Injectables We Offer: Understanding Dermal Fillers and Neuromodulators

At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, our array of injectables from top brands creates a truly customized look for you. The term “injectables” often leaves patients feeling confused. To provide a better understanding, injectables can be categorized into two main types: dermal fillers and neuromodulators.

Dermal Fillers Work By Replacing Volume

As suggested by the name, dermal fillers “fill” a wrinkle or an area that has lost volume due to decreasing collagen and slackening skin. When injected under the wrinkle they fill the area and push the skin back upwards. We use dermal fillers on “static” wrinkles—wrinkles that appear at all times, due typically to sun damage and natural sagging of the skin with age.

Neuromodulators Give You Control Over Your Appearance by Temporarily Stopping Muscle Contraction

Neuromodulators, such as BOTOX®, tackle “dynamic” wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. Unlike dermal fillers, which fill wrinkles from beneath, neuromodulators work by temporarily stopping the contraction of muscles. These wrinkles occur when we make facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting, and become more prominent as we age.

The key ingredient in neuromodulators is the botulinum toxin type A, derived from bacteria responsible for botulism. Despite its somewhat frightening reputation, scientists discovered in the 1950s that injecting a minuscule amount of this toxin into a muscle can effectively stop unwanted muscle contractions, making it a valuable solution for issues like involuntary eyelid spasms.

Dermal Fillers from Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

We offer the following types of dermal fillers at our West Palm Beach office:

• JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gels: These sugar-based injectables are FDA-approved and offer a consistent safety track record. From reducing deep lines around the mouth to enhancing your lips, cheeks, and under-eye area, JUVÉDERM® offers natural-looking results that last up to a year. They can even complement facial surgeries for a comprehensive transformation.
• Kybella® Injections: The first and only FDA-approved treatment for reducing submental fat—what most of us call a “double chin,” Kybella® Injections reduce moderate to severe fat in the chin area, so you can enjoy a more defined facial profile. Containing a key ingredient called Deoxycholic Acid, Kybella® is an FDA-approfed solution for eliminating chin-based fat. Patients may need up to 3 treatments for maximal results.
• Restylane®: A collection of hyaluronic acid facial fillers that can smooth fine lines and add volume to multiple areas of the face. From enhancing your lips and cheeks to filling in under-eye hollows, Restylane® can turn back the clock on aging and give you a refreshed appearance.
• RADIESSE®: This dermal filler stimulates natural collagen production while providing immediate support. Enhance your nose, create a more pronounced chin, or define your jowl line with this long-lasting solution.
• Sculptra: Experience reduced facial aging for up to two years with this FDA-approved injectable. Designed to replace collagen in your cells and tissue, it supports your skin’s structure and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. Collagen, the body’s most prevalent protein, naturally declines with age. Sculptra is a skin-boosting solution that stimulates collagen production. Its formula incorporates a safe and absorbable synthetic material commonly found in dissolvable stitches.
• RHA® Filler: RHA® (resilient hyaluronic acid), unlike some traditional fillers, adapts to the movement of your face for the ultimate natural yet dynamic look.
• Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Also commonly known as a “liquid nose job” or “non-surgical nose job”, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of dermal fillers to alter the shape and appearance of the nose without resorting to traditional surgical methods. While it cannot reduce the size of the nose, it can enhance its aesthetic harmony. This procedure involves injecting fillers such as hyaluronic acid into specific areas of the nose to smooth out bumps, create symmetry, or alter the angle of the nasal tip. This can be done under local anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour. Effects typically last between six months and two years.
• Eyelight™: Eyelight™ is a Restylane® procedure that rejuvenates the under-eye area, reducing dark circles, hollows, and fine lines around the eyes known as tear troughs. This hyaluronic acid solution formulated with NASHA® Technology adds volume and hydrates to reduce a tired or aged appearance. The procedure is usually completed in under an hour, with effects lasting between six and twelve months, depending on individual factors that include skin type, metabolic rate, and lifestyle.
• Skinvive™: Skinvive™  by JUVÉDERM® restores volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours by injecting a hyaluronic acid gel beneath the skin, which also hydrates to achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance. As the pioneering and exclusive FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable in the United States, Skinvive™  has been clinically proven to lead to greater satisfaction with the appearance of glowing, hydrated, rejuvenated, and revitalized skin. The procedure is usually completed in less than an hour, and results can be seen immediately. Effects last between six and twelve months, depending on individual factors including skin type and metabolic rate.

Neuromodulators at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida

Neuromodulators are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause certain facial wrinkles and lines. When injected into specific areas, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, or frown lines, neuromodulators can help smooth out wrinkles and provide a more youthful appearance. Patients often seek these treatments for their ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the face a more refreshed and rejuvenated look.

At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer the neuromodulator  injectables BOTOX®, Daxxify, Dysport®, and Xeomin. Brief descriptions of each are below:

• BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections: FDA-approved and clinically proven, these injections temporarily reduce forehead lines and lines around the eyes. Temporarily diminish the signs of aging, while bringing back a serene and amiable countenance, allowing you to appear more youthful. Eliminate crow’s feet, frown lines around the mouth, and lines between the brows with this safe and effective treatment.
• Dysport® Cosmetic Injections: Similar to BOTOX®, prescription Dysport® can work wonders for moderate to severe frown lines. What sets it apart is its ability to allow your facial muscles to function normally, preserving your ability to express yourself. It may even provide more extended treatment duration and efficacy than BOTOX®. Dysport® also offers relief for excessive sweating. However, pregnant women and patients with neuromuscular conditions should consult their doctors before proceeding.
• Daxxify: In 2022, the FDA approved this aesthetic injection. DAXXIFY® is an innovative Neuromodulator sustained by a unique peptide formulation, which effectively stabilizes the active ingredients. Thanks to its peptide exchange technology, Daxxify delivers the botulinum toxin type A to the nerve cells to temporarily improve moderate-to-severe frown lines for a longer period than its competitors. With its remarkable longevity, DAXXIFY® might provide up to double the duration compared to other alternatives. DAXXIFY® holds FDA approval to effectively smooth moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows.
• Xeomin: A quick and easy method by which our injector at Palm Beach Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery can effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, and other facial aging, Xeomin is an FDA-approved product that boasts a “pure” form of botulinum toxin that is free from any accessory protein. This results in a decreased risk of allergic reactions or natural resistance. With its unique formulation, Xeomin’s solitary agent exhibits superior migration capabilities, swiftly and effectively targeting all facial areas upon injection.
