Injectables Q&A

What types of injectables do you offer?

Chi Aesthetics Medspa and Wellness Center offers neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Neuromodulators, like Juveau® and Botox®, ease lines and wrinkles associated with repeated facial expressions. Dermal fillers help with static wrinkles and improve facial features that appear gaunt or sunken. They provide a youthful plumpness to an aging face. 

How can dermal fillers improve my appearance?

Dermal fillers contain a form of hyaluronic acid — a natural substance produced by your body. The hyaluronic acid fills in lines and wrinkles, restoring a youthful smoothness to your complexion. They can also plump gaunt features. 

 

Specifically, dermal fillers can do the following:

 

  • Contour the cheek area by replenishing lost volume due to aging
  • Smooth out deep smile and expression lines around the mouth
  • Increase lip fullness
  • Lift sagging, baggy skin around the jaw
  • Enhance jawline definition and erase the cobblestone appearance of the chin

 

The Chi Aesthetics Medspa and Wellness Center team carefully evaluates your face and considers your aesthetic goals when recommending the type and placement of dermal fillers.

What are neuromodulators, and how can they help me look my best?

Neuromodulators, such as Botox® and Juveau®, are popular for temporarily relaxing facial muscles that contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Botox and Juveau are commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles — those that form from smiling, squinting, or frowning. 

 

Each brand has a slightly different formulation derived from a purified form of Clostridium Botulinum. They work by temporarily blocking nerve impulses to muscles in treated areas. 

 

Neuromodulators ease lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. 

How long do the effects of cosmetic injectables last?

The effects last anywhere from 6-18 months. Their longevity depends on the formula, the area treated, and how your body reacts. 

 

Neuromodulators ease the look of lines and wrinkles for 3-4 months. The Chi Aesthetics Medspa and Wellness Center team offers follow-up treatments to maintain your look once the injectables have worn off.
