Hear From Our Happy Patients
5/5 STARS
Love Dr. Butterwick’s approach to cosmetic dermatology! I always walk away looking great but more importantly natural and not too overfilled like what I see with many other women who use dermal fillers.
I had lip filler with Dr. Loyal and couldn’t be happier! My consultation with Dr. Loyal was very thorough and in-depth. He really listened to and addressed my concerns, which was the fact I have never had filler before and wanting to make sure that my lips looked naturally enhanced. I love the result of my lips – I’ve gotten many compliments! I highly recommend Dr. Loyal and will definitely be going back to him for more treatments.
Navigating through treatment options can be daunting, but my experience with Dr. Darji was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked into her office, she took the time to explain each option thoroughly and personalized the treatments to suit my needs perfectly. Her patience and ability to break down complex information made me feel at ease and well-informed.
Having laser treatment and filers was such a positive experience for me. The staff were incredibly caring, which made me feel at ease throughout the process. And the results were fantastic – I’m really happy with how my face looks now. Thank you Dr. Groff and staff.
Our Injectable Treatment Options
At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we offer the full spectrum of injectable treatments, including neuromodulators, fillers, biostimulators, and regenerative options.
Neuromodulators temporarily relax specific facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by expression.
These treatments are commonly used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and to achieve advanced facial slimming, brow lifts, and more. Our dermatologists are national trainers for all major neuromodulator brands and have helped pioneer many injection techniques used worldwide today.
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Our practice offers a wide range of fillers, allowing for precise results.
Common areas treated with dermal fillers include the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, temples, and under-eye hollows. Dermal fillers can also be used for non-surgical rhinoplasty and hand rejuvenation.
Biostimulators stimulate your body’s natural hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production, offering long-term skin rejuvenation and volume restoration.
These treatments improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity while promoting cellular regeneration. They are often combined with other injectable, neuromodulators, or laser treatments for enhanced outcomes.
Injectable Treatments FAQ
During your personalized consultation, our dermatologists will evaluate your skin, facial structure, and goals to determine which combination of injectables will achieve the best outcome for you.
The longevity of results depends on the product used, the treatment area, and your body’s individual response. In general:
- Neuromodulators like Botox lasts 3–6 months.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane last 6–18 months.
- Biostimulators like Sculptra can last more than two years with proper maintenance.
Most patients describe minimal discomfort during injectable treatments. We use advanced techniques, topical anesthetics, and products that contain lidocaine to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. We also offer Pronox and other pain management support to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
Recovery is usually very mild. You may experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Yes, injectable treatments performed by experienced, board-certified dermatologists at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are very safe. We use only FDA-approved products and customize each treatment for your safety and optimal results.
Absolutely. Many patients achieve the best results by combining injectables with other treatments such as laser skin rejuvenation, microneedling, radiofrequency or ultrasound therapy. Our dermatologists will recommend a plan tailored specifically to you.
- Neuromodulators like Botox and Daxxify usually begin working within 2–7 days, with full results visible at 10–14 days.
- Dermal fillers offer immediate volume restoration, although final results continue to refine over 1–2 weeks.
- Biostimulators like Sculptra stimulate collagen over time, with gradual improvement over 3–6 months.
Cost depends on the product used, the number of syringes or units needed, and the complexity of the treatment. During your consultation, we will provide a customized plan and pricing based on your unique goals.
Yes. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, our philosophy centers around achieving undetectable, natural-looking results. Our board-certified dermatologists use precise techniques to enhance your natural beauty—not change it.
Injectables can be used across many areas, including:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Temples
- Cheeks
- Lips
- Chin and jawline
- Under-eye hollows
- Hands (for volume restoration)
Yes. Many patients now use injectables preventatively, particularly neuromodulators like Botox and Daxxify, to soften expression lines before they become deeply etched into the skin. Early intervention can delay the need for more invasive treatments later.
Fillers provide immediate volume by adding hyaluronic acid or calcium-based material under the skin. Biostimulators like Sculptra encourage your body to naturally produce more collagen, elastic fibers and hyaluronic acid offering gradual, longer-lasting improvements in skin quality and structure.
Board-certified dermatologists have in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, advanced training in aesthetic medicine, and the ability to manage any potential complications. Choosing an expert injector ensures safer, more predictable, and more natural-looking results.
