Injectables with Dr. Pisarenko
In aesthetic medicine, an injectable is an FDA-approved medical “device” which is injected into the target tissue (such as the muscle, subcutaneous, or subdermal / dermal layer) to either minimize wrinkles, smooth skin, highlight and contour natural features, or to add more volume. Both neurotoxins (Botox / Dysport), fillers (Restylane, Juvéderm, Belotero, Versa) and biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse) are considered “injectables.” Neurotoxins weaken the action of the particular muscle that is injected, preventing its movement from causing wrinkles or folds on the overlying skin. Fillers create volume and support in the treated area. Biostimulators work like fillers to create volume by stimulating the body’s own collagen production. Individually and in combination, injectables are an important part of facial rejuvenation and medical aesthetic treatments.
