A Comprehensive Patient Guide from Remedy+ Hair Restoration & Medical Spa — Dr. David Rosner, DO
When it comes to facial rejuvenation, injectables have become one of the safest, most effective, and least invasive ways to maintain a youthful appearance. Today's injectable treatments can soften wrinkles, restore lost facial volume, improve skin quality, contour the jawline, and even eliminate stubborn fat beneath the chin — all without surgery.
At Remedy+ Hair Restoration & Medical Spa, every injectable treatment is customized to the individual. Rather than creating an overfilled or unnatural appearance, the goal is subtle enhancement that helps you look refreshed, confident, and like the best version of yourself. The practice offers Botox®, Dermal Fillers, KYBELLA®, and SKINVIVE®, with treatments performed by experienced medical professionals using FDA-approved products.
Why More People Are Choosing Injectables
Modern injectables have changed dramatically over the past decade. Gone are the days of frozen foreheads or overfilled lips. Today's techniques emphasize facial balance, natural movement, and preventative aging. Patients of every age are discovering that small, strategically placed treatments often produce the most beautiful long-term results.
Benefits include:
- Minimal downtime
- Quick office visits
- Natural-looking improvements
- Little to no recovery time
- Long-lasting but not permanent results
- Personalized treatment plans
- Can often delay the need for surgery
Many patients even combine multiple injectables with treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, HydraFacial™, or IPL for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Botox® Cosmetic
What Is Botox®?
Botox® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. Rather than filling wrinkles, Botox works by reducing repetitive muscle movement that causes wrinkles to deepen over time.
What Does Botox Treat?
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines ("11s")
- Crow's feet
- Bunny lines
- Lip flip
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands
- Jaw slimming
- TMJ discomfort
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
How Does Botox Work?
Every time you smile, frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows, your facial muscles contract. Over thousands of repetitions, these movements crease the skin. Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signal telling those muscles to contract, allowing the skin to smooth while preserving natural facial expression when administered properly.
When Will I See Results?
- Initial improvement: 3–5 days
- Full results: 10–14 days
- Duration: approximately 3–4 months
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Botox is ideal for adults who want to soften wrinkles, want preventative aging treatments, prefer non-surgical options, and have realistic expectations. Many patients begin preventative Botox in their late 20s or early 30s before deep wrinkles become established.
Dermal Fillers
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers restore lost volume beneath the skin. Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found within the body that attracts moisture and supports youthful skin.
Unlike Botox, fillers do not relax muscles. Instead, they replace lost volume, lift facial structures, contour facial features, and smooth deeper folds.
Common Treatment Areas
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Jawline
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Temples
- Under-eye hollows (selected patients)
Benefits
Patients often choose fillers because they can restore youthful facial proportions, improve facial symmetry, enhance lips naturally, lift sagging cheeks, improve jawline definition, and reduce signs of aging without surgery.
How Long Do Fillers Last?
- Lips: 6–12 months
- Cheeks: 12–24 months
- Jawline: 12–18 months
- Chin: 12–18 months
KYBELLA®
What Is KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically to reduce moderate to severe submental fullness — commonly called a double chin. Unlike fillers or Botox, KYBELLA permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once those fat cells are eliminated, they cannot store fat again.
Who Benefits Most?
Ideal candidates have stubborn under-chin fat, maintain a healthy weight, want to avoid liposuction, and want improved jawline definition.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Most patients require 2–4 treatment sessions spaced about one month apart. Results continue improving over several months.
Recovery
Temporary swelling is expected. Patients often experience swelling, tenderness, bruising, and firmness. These effects gradually resolve as the body eliminates destroyed fat cells.
SKINVIVE®
What Is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® is unlike traditional fillers. Rather than adding volume, it uses tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration and smoothness. Think of it as improving skin quality instead of changing facial shape. It is currently the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable specifically indicated to improve cheek skin smoothness.
Benefits
- Improved skin texture
- Increased hydration
- Healthy glow
- Better light reflection
- Smoother cheeks
- Softer appearance
Who Is It Best For?
SKINVIVE works well for patients who feel their skin looks dull, want healthier-looking skin, don't necessarily need volume, and want a subtle improvement.
How Long Does It Last?
Most patients enjoy smoother skin for approximately six months before maintenance treatment.
Botox vs. Fillers vs. SKINVIVE vs. KYBELLA
- Botox® — relaxes wrinkles caused by muscle movement
- Dermal Fillers — restore volume and contour
- SKINVIVE® — improves skin hydration and smoothness
- KYBELLA® — permanently reduces double chin fat
Many patients benefit from combining these treatments into a personalized plan based on their facial anatomy and goals.
What Happens During Your Consultation?
Every consultation at Remedy+ begins with listening. Your provider evaluates your facial anatomy, skin quality, medical history, current medications, previous treatments, cosmetic goals, and areas of concern. Rather than recommending unnecessary procedures, the team develops a customized treatment plan designed to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
How to Prepare for Injectable Treatments
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand
- Avoid blood-thinning supplements if medically appropriate
- Arrive with clean skin
- Discuss all medications
- Stay hydrated
- Follow post-treatment instructions carefully
Aftercare Tips
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. General recommendations include:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours

Why Experience Matters
Injectables combine science with artistry. Understanding facial anatomy, muscle movement, blood vessels, aging patterns, and facial balance requires extensive education and experience. The goal isn't simply removing wrinkles — it's helping patients look refreshed while preserving their natural facial expressions.
