MINIMIZING WRINKLES WITH INJECTIONS IN HAMPTON ROADS

Peninsula Dermatology Skin Cancer Surgery Center in Williamsburg, VA is proud to offer neurotoxin injectables. The injectable medication is a FDA-approved, minimally-invasive procedure that aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The injectable uses botulinum toxin to block nerve signals and temporarily freeze the muscles in a particular area on the face. Injectables are a great alternative to facelifts and brow lifts for patients that want to minimize wrinkles without undergoing a surgical procedure.

How Do Injectables Work?

Injectables utilize onobotulinumtoxinA, a purified form of botulinum toxin obtained from bacteria. During your appointment at Peninsula Dermatology Skin Cancer Surgery Center, our team will use a small needle to inject the onobotulinumtoxinA into the desired area of the face. This toxin then temporarily blocks nerve signals and freezes the muscles. The temporary muscle block reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the face a more youthful and smoother appearance. Patients typically see results within 1-3 days of their appointment. To maximize the effects of treatment, the injectable should be administered every 3 to 4 months.

What Does An Injectable Treat?

An injectable reduces the appearance of “expression lines” caused by muscle movement and facial expressions. Expression lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting and more over time. With the toxin, expression lines can be significantly reduced or disappear in the following areas of the face:

Between the eyebrows
Around the mouth/lips

Around the eyes
On the forehead

During an appointment at Peninsula Dermatology Skin Cancer Surgery Center, you can either target one area of the face with an injection, or have several injections at once. Your provider will discuss your options with you and develop a customized treatment plan to meet your needs and goals.

Benefits of Injectables

There are many benefits to choosing an injectable at Peninsula Dermatology Skin Cancer Surgery Center. Benefits include:

Minimally invasive

Unlike facelifts, brow lifts or other surgical procedures, this injectable is minimally invasive. During treatment, only a small amount of onobotulinumtoxinA is injected into the skin using a tiny needle.

Fast recovery

Because the injectable is minimally invasive, patients have a quicker recovery time compared to more in-depth procedures. After a procedure, patients should avoid rubbing or massaging the affected area for 24 hours. Following this 24-hour period, patients can return to their normal activities.

Less pain

Patients feel little to no discomfort during the administration.

Efficient results

Patients begin seeing results of either medication 1 to 3 days after their appointment. The neurotoxin can effectively reduce the appearance of smile lines, frown lines, crow’s feet and more.
