Injectable Treatments

Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months. Over time, with regular treatments, some patients find that the effects may last longer as the muscles become trained to relax. Our providers will recommend an optimal treatment schedule based on your individual response. Dysport and Xeomin have similar durations, though some patients notice slight differences in onset time and longevity between brands.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all FDA-approved neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin type A, but they have subtle differences. Botox is the most well-known brand with the longest track record and versatile applications. Dysport tends to spread over a slightly wider area, making it ideal for larger treatment zones like the forehead, and may take effect slightly faster. Xeomin is a "naked" formulation without accessory proteins, which may reduce the risk of developing antibodies over time. Our providers will recommend the best option based on your treatment goals, facial anatomy, and preferences.

Yes, when administered by trained and licensed medical professionals, FDA-approved dermal fillers are very safe. At Suncare Medical Clinic, we only use FDA-approved products from reputable manufacturers such as Allergan (Juvederm) and Galderma (Restylane). Our board-certified injectors have extensive training in facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques to minimize risks and achieve optimal results. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including slight swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites.

Results depend on the type of injectable. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume and contouring that you can see right away, with final results visible after any swelling subsides in 1–2 weeks. Botox and other neuromodulators typically begin to take effect within 3–5 days, with full results visible at 10–14 days. Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production, with results developing over several weeks to months. Kybella results become visible over 4–6 weeks as fat cells are eliminated.

Injectable treatments require minimal to no downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. For Botox and neuromodulators, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not lying down for 4 hours after treatment. For dermal fillers, we advise avoiding intense exercise and excessive heat for 24–48 hours. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help optimize your results and minimize any temporary side effects.
