Non-Surgical Injectable Treatments
Injectable treatments can be an effective means of augmenting the face and/or reversing the signs of aging—without the need for facial plastic surgery. Our board-certified plastic surgeon in Nashville, Dr. Amaka Nwubah, offers a comprehensive selection of minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation options to help patients look and feel their best.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and lines. Derived from botulinum toxin type A, it works by temporarily relaxing the muscles around the injection site to diminish the formation of wrinkles and result in a smoother, more youthful facial aesthetic. BOTOX® Cosmetic is often used to treat forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and lines around the mouth.
Dysport®
Dysport® works similarly to BOTOX® Cosmetic in that it helps relax overactive facial muscles in order to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. It is most often used to treat the glabellar lines, or the lines that develop between the eyebrows.
Xeomin®
Xeomin® is another neuromodulator in the same family as BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles around the injection site in order to minimize signs of wrinkles. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Xeomin® is also FDA-approved for the treatment of eye twitching (blepharospasm) and neck spasms.
JUVÉDERM®
The JUVÉDERM® line of dermal fillers is designed to add volume to different areas of the face, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and reducing skin laxity for a more youthful aesthetic. All JUVÉDERM® fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a compound found naturally within the body. Commonly treated areas include the cheeks, lips, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jaw.
Restylane®
The Restylane® family of products is a hyaluronic acid-based line of dermal fillers that can be used to smooth lines and wrinkles while adding or restoring volume to the midface, cheeks, lips, lower eyelid areas, and jawline.
