Injectables Q&A

What are Injectables?

Injectables are minimally invasive treatments designed to refresh your appearance without surgery. Dr. Zarcone uses two primary types of injectables: neuromodulators (like Botox and Xeomin) to relax wrinkles caused by muscle movement, and dermal fillers to restore lost volume and hydration.

Botox® and Xeomin®

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that has a proven history of treating medical conditions and is a highly effective treatment for moderate to severe wrinkles. When Dr. Zarcone injects Botox into targeted muscles, the toxin blocks contractions, causing muscles to relax and wrinkles to virtually vanish.

Xeomin® is another form of botulinum toxin that works similarly to Botox but specifically treats moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows.

Cosmetic concerns treated with Botox:

Botox treats "dynamic" wrinkles, which appear where muscles contract for facial expressions. These include:

  • Forehead furrows and frown lines
  • Crow’s feet and bunny lines
  • Vertical neck bands and chin dimpling
  • Vertical lip lines

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers temporarily reverse age-related changes by restoring volume, boosting moisture, and improving collagen production. Dr. Zarcone offers several brands to customize your treatment:

  • Juvederm® & Restylane®: Groups of fillers containing hyaluronic acid, essential for hydration. They target wrinkles around the nose/mouth, lift cheeks, and rejuvenate hands.
  • Belotero®: A thin hyaluronic acid filler that integrates into the skin for subtle results, such as treating vertical lip lines.
  • Radiesse®: Contains tiny spheres of calcium that immediately add volume and stimulate long-term collagen production.

What should I expect during treatment?

Dr. Zarcone uses tiny needles that are well tolerated, though a topical numbing cream can be used for your comfort. Injections typically take 10-20 minutes, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately.

In the hands of an experienced physician like Dr. Zarcone, your results are natural-looking and subtle. He precisely targets specific areas, leaving you free to create all your regular facial expressions.

When will I see results and how long do they last?

Botox results may start in three days, peaking within 7-10 days. Xeomin results appear in 3-4 days and last up to three months or longer.

Dermal fillers produce immediate results. Depending on the filler used, your results can last between 6-18 months, with some lasting up to two years. Though these treatments gradually wear off, you can safely get maintenance injections to preserve your youthful look.
