Introduction to Injectables

Some of the options available to treat facial wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes, and in the “crows feet” areas (upper third of the face) are FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic and Xeomin. Both are made from botulinum toxin and work by weakening the muscles of facial expression.

Soft tissue fillers, or dermal fillers, are used to help restore volume loss from aging and lifestyle factors, while also smoothing facial lines and wrinkles. The Centre, P.C’s Medical Spa offers many soft-tissue filler solutions which have long-lasting results giving you a more youthful appearance. 

These fillers such as Radiesse, Revanesse, and Juvéderm soften fine lines and folds by adding volume beneath the skin’s surface to lift the skin and smooth the affected area.

The injectables offered at The Centre, PC in Mishawaka can be easily administered by one of our aesthetic nurse injectors and provide consistent results which will last for a significant period of time. When soft tissue fillers are injected, a numbing cream is usually placed on the area of the injection to ensure your comfort.

Then, using a small needle or cannula, the soft tissue filler is injected into the treatment area. Some mild bruising, burning, and stinging is normal and will subside within a few days.

Soft tissue fillers are commonly used in the smile lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, otherwise known as nasolabial folds; and in the lips, cheeks, undereye, chin, jawline and temple.
