Dermaplaning is noninvasive and safe. Following treatment, you can have some redness and/or dryness around the treatment region, but these side effects are quite short-lived.

Results are immediate.

Dermaplaning results last for a few weeks. As your skin cycles roughly every 4 weeks, we recommend repeating treatment to continue results. We advise our patients to repeat dermaplaning once a month to help their skin’s natural shedding process.

Elevated Dermatology offers several categories of cosmetic injectable treatments to address different concerns across the face and neck. All products are FDA approved and selected for safety, quality, and consistent results.

Neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport): Relax targeted facial muscles to soften lines caused by expression. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These treatments help you look smoother and more rested.

Dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane family): Restore or add volume where the face has flattened or sagged over time. Fillers are often used for the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, and folds around the mouth, and can enhance contour without surgery.

Collagen stimulators (Sculptra): Support long term structure by encouraging your own collagen production. These treatments gradually improve facial volume and firmness, creating a smoother, more youthful foundation.

Skin boosting injectables (Skinvive): Improve skin hydration, texture, and radiance. Rather than reshaping the face, they enhance the quality and glow of the skin.

Fat dissolving injectables (Kybella): Target and reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin. This treatment helps refine the jawline and is an option for patients who want a slimmer profile without surgery.

Neurotoxins and dermal fillers are both injectable treatments, but they work in different ways.

Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport relax specific muscles that cause expression lines. They are best suited for areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet where wrinkles deepen with repeated movement.

Dermal fillers are used to restore or add volume. They are ideal for cheeks that have flattened, lips that have thinned, or folds around the mouth that have become more noticeable. Fillers can also help contour the jawline or enhance the chin.

In simple terms, neurotoxins soften movement lines. Fillers rebuild or enhance structure. Many patients benefit from a combination of both approaches.

Patients choose injectable treatments for facial rejuvenation to address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hollow or flat cheeks
• Under eye shadows related to volume loss
• Mild texture and creasing
• Softening of the jawline
• Chin recession or imbalance
• Thinning lips or lack of definition
• Smile lines and marionette lines
• Neck bands or horizontal lines
• Fullness beneath the chin

During your consultation, we will identify which concerns matter most to you and recommend a plan that fits your goals and comfort level.

Facial injectables can be used in many regions of the face and neck. At Elevated Dermatology, our dermatologists carefully evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine which areas will benefit most.

Upper face: Forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes are commonly treated with neurotoxins to soften expression lines.

Mid face: Cheeks, tear troughs under the eyes, and nasolabial folds are often treated with fillers to restore lift and support. This can help the mid face look smoother and more youthful.

Lower face: Lips, chin, jawline, and marionette lines can be refined with fillers and selective neurotoxin placement. Treatment in this area can improve balance between the upper and lower face and support a more defined profile.

Neck and other areas: Neck bands, lines on the décolletage, and fullness under the chin can sometimes be addressed with a combination of neurotoxins, fillers, and Kybella. Your provider will review which options are appropriate for your needs.

The duration of injectable results depends on the type of product used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

In general, neurotoxin results last about three to four months. Many patients schedule follow up visits several times per year to maintain smoothness and prevent lines from deepening again.

Dermal fillers may last anywhere from six months to two years depending on the specific product and placement. Some fillers used for deeper structural support can provide longer lasting improvement.

Collagen stimulators such as Sculptra work gradually and can last more than two years because they help rebuild your own collagen over time.

Our team will review expected timelines with you and create a maintenance plan that fits your goals and schedule.

After professional injectable treatments, most patients return to normal daily activities quickly, but a few simple guidelines support the best outcome:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day after treatment
• Avoid rubbing or pressing on treated areas for several hours
• Expect mild swelling, redness, or small bruises that usually resolve on their own
• Follow any specific instructions provided for your treatment type

Our team provides written and verbal after care directions for all injectable services. If you ever have questions after your visit, we encourage you to contact us for guidance and reassurance.

Maintenance schedules are tailored to each patient, but there are general guidelines.

Neurotoxin treatments are usually repeated every three to four months to keep expression lines soft. Some patients prefer to maintain consistent intervals, while others return as they notice movement and lines returning.

Dermal fillers are refreshed based on how they age in your tissue. Many patients schedule touch ups or full treatments once a year or every other year, depending on product type and area treated.

Sculptra and similar collagen stimulators are typically spaced out over several sessions, then maintained on a longer timeline after the initial series.

During your consultation, our team will recommend a schedule that fits your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
