Non-Surgical Treatments

Not everybody wants to have surgery. Honestly, you might not need it. We can do a lot with just injections these days. Botox stops those expression lines from getting deeper, fillers plump up areas that have gotten hollow over time, and we’ve even got stuff that melts away double chins. Most of this takes about as long as a lunch break, and you can go right back to whatever you were doing.

What are Non-Surgical Treatments?

Non-surgical treatments are minimally invasive procedures that can improve your appearance without the need for surgery. These include muscle-relaxing injections like Botox that smooth expression lines, dermal fillers that restore volume and fill wrinkles, and specialized injections that can dissolve fat in targeted areas. Most treatments take 15-30 minutes and are done right in our office with little to no downtime.

The goal is to help you look like a refreshed, well-rested version of yourself while maintaining your natural expressions and facial movement. Learn more about our consultation process to find out which treatments would work best for your specific concerns.

What Can Non-Surgical Treatments Accomplish?

These treatments can address many different aging concerns and aesthetic goals:

Smooth wrinkles and lines caused by facial expressions
Restore lost volume in cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas
Eliminate double chins and improve your profile
Enhance your natural features with subtle, natural-looking results

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers replace volume that’s been lost with age and smooth out wrinkles that are present even when your face is at rest. We’ve been using hyaluronic acid fillers since 2003 and have performed over 10,000 treatments. Our practice was the first to publish papers teaching other physicians about these fillers and discovered how to safely dissolve them if needed.

RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid)

RHA is the first and only FDA-approved filler specifically designed for dynamic wrinkles – lines that appear when you move your face. RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4 are made to flex and move with your expressions, so you get smooth results that still look natural when you smile or talk.

Restylane Family

Restylane offers several options for different areas: Restylane Refyne and Defyne for nasolabial folds and marionette lines, Restylane Lyft for cheeks and hands, and Restylane Silk for lips and fine lines around the mouth. Each is formulated with different particle sizes and cross-linking for optimal results in specific areas.

Juvederm Products

Juvederm provides smooth, natural-looking results for smile lines and facial volume loss. The gel consistency integrates well with your natural tissue, and studies show superior results compared to older collagen-based fillers.

Botox and Dysport

Botox and Dysport are muscle-relaxing injections that temporarily reduce wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Both work the same way – they relax the muscles that create lines when you smile, frown, or squint. Our practice has been using Botox since the mid-1980s and currently holds a patent to enhance treatment effects. We’ve performed over 50,000 treatments and remain among the most experienced injectors in the world.

The main differences between Botox and Dysport are cost, onset time, and how the product spreads. Dysport works slightly faster (1-2 days sooner) and spreads more from the injection site, which can be good for some areas but not others. For pinpoint accuracy, highly concentrated Botox is usually better. The key is having an experienced injector who understands which product works best for your specific needs.

Kybella (Double Chin Treatment)

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injection that eliminates fat under the chin. It uses deoxycholic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, it destroys fat cells permanently. Most people need 2-4 treatment sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart for optimal results.

You’ll probably get some swelling, bruising, and your chin might feel numb for a while. Some people puff up pretty good for a few weeks, but it goes away as the fat disappears and you start seeing your new jawline.

What Works Well Together

A lot of times, mixing different treatments gives you better results:

Botox and Fillers

Together While Botox prevents wrinkles from forming, fillers smooth existing lines and restore volume. Using both gives you comprehensive results – prevention plus correction.

Multiple Filler Types

We often use different fillers in the same treatment session – lighter ones for fine lines and more robust formulations for volume replacement and structural support.

Staged Treatments

Some people prefer to start with one treatment and add others over time, allowing for gradual, natural-looking improvements.

Maintenance Programs

Regular touch-ups help maintain your results and can actually extend the time between treatments.

How Much Do Non-Surgical Treatments Cost?

Costs vary depending on which treatments you choose and how much product you need. Botox and Dysport are typically priced per unit, while fillers are priced per syringe. Kybella is priced per treatment session. Most people find these treatments much more affordable than surgical options, and the results can be very impressive.

We believe in transparent pricing and will give you a detailed estimate during your consultation. Many treatments can be done in stages to spread out the cost, and we offer financing options to make treatments more accessible.

Recovery & Results

One of the biggest advantages of non-surgical treatments is the minimal downtime. Most people go right back to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. You might have some minor swelling, redness, or bruising, but this usually resolves within a few days.

Botox results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. Filler results are immediate and typically last 6-24 months depending on which product is used. Kybella results develop gradually over several weeks as fat cells are eliminated, with final results visible after your treatment series is complete.

Candidates for Non-Surgical Treatments

You might be a good candidate for non-surgical treatments if you have:

Wrinkles, lines, or volume loss that make you look older than you feel
Realistic expectations about what these treatments can accomplish
Good overall health with no active infections in treatment areas
Specific concerns that bother you but don’t require surgical correction

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

This depends on your specific concerns and goals. Botox works best for expression lines, fillers address volume loss and static wrinkles, and Kybella eliminates fat under the chin. During your consultation, we’ll examine your face and discuss which treatments would give you the best results for your particular concerns.

Do these treatments look natural?

When done properly by experienced practitioners, these treatments should make you look like a refreshed version of yourself – not like you’ve had “work done.” The key is using the right products in the right amounts and having realistic expectations about what can be achieved.

How often will I need touch-ups?

This varies by treatment and individual. Botox typically lasts 3-4 months, fillers last 6-24 months depending on the product, and Kybella results are permanent once your treatment series is complete. We’ll discuss expected timelines during your consultation.

Can I combine different treatments?

Absolutely! In fact, many people get better results by combining treatments strategically. For example, Botox prevents new wrinkles while fillers smooth existing ones, giving you both prevention and correction.
