Every patient has different skin needs, and goals can vary dramatically. At Weston Cosmetic Surgery, we provide our patients with the widest range of products and procedures possible in order to treat a spectrum of problems. A common question we hear is, “What type of injectable is right for me?” The market is full of quality products that target different aspects of facial aging. Understanding your problem areas and the results you wish to achieve will play a vital role in choosing the best injectable for you.

What Are Injectables?

The term injectable covers a family of anti-aging treatments. An injectable uses a needle to place a serum into the dermis of your skin. These treatments are designed to smooth wrinkles, add volume, or enhance your facial contour. The length of your results will vary between injectables, but most require routine maintenance to maintain the quality of your results.

Why Choose Injectables?

Injectables are fast, non-surgical ways to improve visible signs of aging along the face. The injecting process usually lasts less than hour, after which most patients can immediately resume their regular activities. While bruising and swelling are common following injectable treatments, these symptoms usually only last several hours to a few days.
