Injectables offer a variety of benefits for our patients in Alexandria and throughout Northern Virginia. These treatments can address signs of aging, including wrinkles, skin folds, and fine lines. Many people use injectables to add volume, fullness, and definition to the cheeks, chin, lips, and jawline, improving overall facial symmetry. For instance, lip augmentation through injectables is a popular method of enhancing the size and shape of the lips.
Our Alexandria clinic offers treatments using the leading dermal filler and cosmetic injectable brands worldwide. Here is some of what our treatments can do:
During a consultation with our clinicians in Northern Virginia, we can discuss your skin concerns and create a tailored treatment plan with our dermal fillers and cosmetic injectables.
Your injectable treatment will only take a few minutes at our Alexandria clinic. First, our clinician will cleanse your skin and may apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area if necessary. Our fillers actually contain numbing medicine to help with any discomfort. The injection procedure will involve the insertion of a small syringe or cannula into the target area. While some treatments only require one or two injections, some require this procedure to be repeated a few times for best results.
After your treatment, we will thoroughly cleanse your skin again, and you will be free to leave after a brief monitoring period. While most injectable treatments can be completed in one appointment, some (particularly Kybella®) may require more than one treatment session to achieve your desired results.
For most of our patients, the injectable procedure is virtually painless. The treatment generally takes a few minutes to an hour, depending on the nature of the procedure and how many areas you are treating during the session. Our Alexandria clinic uses a fine syringe or cannula and expert application methods to ensure a comfortable experience. Some of our injectable treatments are given with lidocaine or topical anesthetic.
Recovery time for injectable treatments is minimal, typically requiring a week or less for full results. Most patients can return to their daily activities almost immediately following treatment. However, your clinician may recommend abstaining from excessive movement in the targeted area to allow the injectable to settle.
Your individual recovery time will depend on various factors, including the treatment areas, the type of filler, your age, and your overall health. Dr. Desman and the experienced team at the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery will provide a tailored injectable treatment plan and recovery instructions to ensure the best possible results.
With most injectable procedures, results are apparent immediately after treatment or within the first 48 hours. However, some procedures may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. For most injectables, you can enjoy your results for at least six months or longer. Many of our treatments offer results that can last up to two years.
Although some procedures can achieve long-lasting results with proper care, injectables are not permanent. Eventually, your body will break down the injectable, absorb it, and naturally excrete it. To maintain your injectable results, we recommend regular touch-up procedures at our Northern Virginia clinic every three months, six months, year, or two years, depending on the procedure and your needs.
There are some guidelines that you can follow to achieve the most from your injectable treatment results, including:
