Injectables Overview
Injectables are a versatile solution for facial rejuvenation, offering both anti-aging corrections and structural contouring. Whether you're targeting wrinkles, adding volume, or reshaping features, our wide range of treatments offers options for every unique need.Â
How Injectables Work
Injectables work by targeting the underlying causes of wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in the face through two primary methods.Â
Neurotoxin injectables, such as neuromodulators, temporarily block nerve signals to specific facial muscles. By limiting the muscle contractions responsible for expressions like frowning and squinting, these injectables effectively soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.Â
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, address issues related to volume loss and skin elasticity. Utilizing advanced formulations, fillers smooth out wrinkles, restore facial contours, and enhance fullness in targeted areas, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance.Â
Together, these treatments provide a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, tailored to individual aesthetic goals.Â

What To Expect Before Injectables
Prior to your procedure in Kirkland and Seattle, we take the time to thoroughly assess your concerns and answer any questions you may have. Our team of skilled and compassionate practitioners is committed to delivering exceptional results that enhance your natural beauty. Through a detailed consultation, we collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring superior outcomes. Â
With extensive expertise in dermal fillers and neurotoxins, we provide professional recommendations on the most suitable options to achieve your desired cosmetic goals. Our dedication to precision and quality ensures that every step of the process is meticulously planned and executed. Â
To minimize the risk of post-treatment bruising, we recommend that you refrain from consuming alcohol, taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications (such as Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve), and Vitamin E for up to one week prior to your procedure. This precaution enhances your overall experience and ensures optimal results.Â
What To Expect During Injectables
Step 1: Cleansing and PreparationÂ
The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your face using an antibacterial and antifungal solution. This ensures the area is sterilized and free from any germs, providing a clean and safe foundation for your procedure.Â
Step 2: Dermal Filler Application  Â
For dermal fillers, our skilled practitioner will use an ultra-fine needle for precise injections. These injections are meticulously administered to contour and enhance your natural features, delivering results that are both subtle and rejuvenating. This technique not only minimizes discomfort but also ensures you maintain a refreshed, natural appearance. Â
Step 3: Neurotoxin Injection Process Â
When administering neurotoxin injections, a fine syringe is used to target specific areas with accuracy. Though the procedure is generally well-tolerated, you may experience mild pressure or discomfort during the process. Following the injections, your practitioner may gently massage the treated area to evenly distribute the neurotoxin and optimize results.Â
What To Expect After Injectables
Following your injectable treatment, you may notice minimal swelling or redness at the injection sites. These effects are typically mild and temporary, often resolving within a few hours. Â
For neurotoxin treatments, such as Botox®, initial improvements will begin to appear within a few days. These results gradually develop over the course of two weeks, reaching their full effect. The benefits of Botox generally last between three and six months, offering a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. Â
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, often provide immediate cosmetic enhancements. While most fillers display visible results right away, certain formulations may require 24 to 48 hours for their full effect to become apparent.
