Injectables

Injectables Overview

Cosmetic injectables are non-surgical treatments designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These injectables work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing dynamic wrinkles, like crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead creases. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive and requires little to no recovery time, making it a popular choice for those seeking a smoother, more youthful complexion without surgery. Results typically last a few months, with visible improvement appearing within days.

The plastic surgeons at Hattiesburg Clinic offer the following injectables:

BOTOX

BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable compound that can reduce wrinkles by up to 80 percent. By blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical released by the skin’s nerve cells that cause wrinkles, BOTOX effectively eliminates the appearance of facial wrinkles around the eyes, forehead and/or mouth.
In addition, BOTOX has been approved to treat a variety of other conditions, including the following:

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Blepharospasms (uncontrollable blinking)
Cervical Dystonia (neurological disorder causing severe neck and shoulder spasms)
Strabismus (misaligned eyes)

BOTOX is a quick and easy procedure. Patients generally see the full effects of BOTOX within one week of the injections, and they usually last between three to six months.

Daxxify

Daxxify is a new-generation cosmetic injectable that targets wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles to reduce the appearance of lines and creases. What sets Daxxify apart is its longer-lasting effect, with results that can last up to six months or more, compared to the three- to four-month duration of traditional neuromodulators. Daxxify uses a proprietary peptide technology that enhances its longevity and effectiveness, making it an appealing option for individuals seeking less frequent treatments to maintain a smooth, youthful look. Like other neuromodulators, it is commonly used for areas such as forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines.

Dysport

Dysport is a popular neuromodulator used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. It is particularly effective for treating dynamic wrinkles like frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows, crow’s feet and forehead creases. Dysport tends to diffuse more easily over a larger area, making it a good choice for patients with broader treatment zones. Results can often be seen within two to three days after treatment, with effects lasting around three to four months. Dysport offers a quick, minimally invasive way to achieve a smoother, more youthful facial appearance.

Kybella

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a “double chin.” Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected into targeted areas, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time, resulting in a more contoured jawline. The treatment requires minimal downtime, and once the desired results are achieved, no further sessions are typically needed since the fat cells are permanently removed.
