Cosmetic injections include dermal fillers to smooth lines and wrinkles or restore volume, or injections with BOTOX, Xeomin or Dysport to treat dynamic wrinkles – wrinkles caused by constant facial motions, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the brows.
Injectable treatments with dermal fillers
The most popular and growing category of cosmetic medicine are injectable fillers, used to prevent or smooth away wrinkles that can enhance your facial features, treating various areas, including:
- Create fuller, lusher lips
- Smooth lines and wrinkles
- Smooth creases
- Restore a youthful look to hands by restoring volume
- Lift the facial skin and tissue by adding volume to cheeks

Cosmetic Injections FAQ's
Do cosmetic injections hurt?
Most patients report cosmetic injections as virtually painless. We perform our cosmetic injections with very fine needles that allow for precision and provide maximum comfort. In some cases, the injections themselves have an anesthetic component mixed in, and for others, we can use a local anesthetic to increase comfort as needed.
Can I combine dermal fillers with neuromodulators?
By combining dermal fillers like Juvéderm with neuromodulators like BOTOX®, we can achieve dramatic results that wash years off your face. We often recommend a combined approach for comprehensive results.
How long do facial fillers last?
The results vary based on the product used and how fast your body absorbs it. Most facial fillers last from 10 months to 2 years. Most neuromodulators last between 3-6 months.
Is there any downtime after a cosmetic injection?
Cosmetic injections are known for being minimally-invasive and requiring no downtime. You will walk out of our clinic and back to your life without interruption after receiving cosmetic injections.
Are cosmetic injections safe?
All of the products we provide at the Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery in Michigan are FDA-approved and clinically tested as safe. While some minor side effects do occur, they tend to resolve themselves within a week. Major complications are extremely rare.
How do I avoid getting a “frozen” look?
The best way to get natural results that don’t leave you looking “frozen” is to choose the right clinic. A poorly-trained specialist can make mistakes that make you look “worked on.” At the Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, our staff are veterans and know precisely how to provide natural and beautiful results.
How long do injections take?
Most treatments take from 20 minutes to an hour depending on if you’re getting a comprehensive treatment that involves multiple products.
