Injectable treatments are used to soften facial lines, restore subtle volume, and support a refreshed, natural appearance. At VIP Facial Artistry, injectables are placed conservatively and strategically to preserve facial movement, balance, and expression.

Neurotoxins (Botulinum Toxin Type A)

Neuromodulators relax targeted facial muscles responsible for expression lines, helping smooth wrinkles caused by repeated movement over time.

Botox® 

Botox® is used to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. It works by relaxing the underlying muscles while leaving skin texture and tone unchanged. Results typically last up to four months.

Dysport® 

Dysport® is a purified neuromodulator used to treat moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles of the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. It provides temporary smoothing and typically lasts up to four months.

Jeuveau® 

Jeuveau® is a prescription neuromodulator designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults.    

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, soften facial folds, and enhance contours using biocompatible materials such as hyaluronic acid or calcium-based compounds. Selection and placement are tailored to facial anatomy and movement.

Restylane® Collection

The Restylane® family of hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers is designed to restore volume, refine contours, and soften facial lines while maintaining natural movement and expression. Each formulation has unique properties that allow treatment to be precisely tailored to specific facial areas and aesthetic goals.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a versatile filler used to restore volume and smooth moderate facial wrinkles and folds. It provides balanced correction with a natural feel and is commonly used in areas requiring soft yet noticeable improvement.

Common uses:

  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Lip enhancement
  • Corners of the mouth

Results typically last 6–9 months, with longevity varying by treatment area and individual factors.

Restylane® Silk

Restylane® Silk is formulated with smaller, smoother particles for subtle refinement. It is well suited for delicate areas requiring precision and softness, particularly around the lips.

Common uses:

  • Lip definition and subtle volume
  • Fine vertical lip lines (“smoker’s lines”)
  • Perioral refinement

Silk allows for natural movement and understated enhancement.

Restylane® Lyft

Restylane® Lyft is a firmer filler designed for deeper structural support. It provides lift and contour in areas with more significant volume loss and is often used when greater projection or support is needed.

Common uses:

  • Cheek and midface volume restoration
  • Jawline support
  • Deeper facial folds

Results may last up to 9–12 months or longer in select areas.

Restylane® Refyne

Restylane® Refyne is designed to soften mild to moderate dynamic wrinkles while preserving facial flexibility. Its formulation allows the filler to move naturally with facial expressions.

Common uses:

  • Smile lines
  • Fine to moderate nasolabial folds
  • Areas requiring flexibility rather than structure

Refyne is ideal for patients seeking subtle correction with natural expression.

Restylane® Defyne

Restylane® Defyne provides more structural support than Refyne while remaining flexible. It is used to treat moderate to severe facial folds that require added strength without stiffness.

Common uses:

  • Deeper nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Areas needing support with movement

Defyne offers durable correction while maintaining a natural appearance.

Restylane® Contour

Restylane® Contour is specifically designed for cheek contouring and midface definition. It integrates smoothly into facial tissue and adapts to natural facial movement, providing lift and shape without rigidity.

Common uses:

  • Cheek augmentation
  • Midface contouring
  • Structural support with dynamic movement

Contour is well suited for patients seeking refined facial balance and youthful cheek structure.

JUVÉDERM®

The JUVÉDERM® family of hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers is designed to address volume loss, contour deficiencies, and deeper facial folds. Each formulation has distinct properties that allow treatment to be tailored to specific areas of the face. Longevity varies by formulation and treatment area. 

JUVÉDERM® Ultra

Injected deeper within the skin to address more pronounced lines and folds visible at rest. Results may last up to one year in some patients.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is a more robust filler designed for deeper facial folds and volume restoration. It is commonly used to soften moderate to severe nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Its thicker consistency provides noticeable correction while maintaining a natural feel. Results may last up to one year in many patients.

Common uses:

  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Areas requiring deeper support

JUVÉDERM® Voluma®

Common uses:

  • Cheek augmentation
  • Midface volume restoration
  • Facial contour support

JUVÉDERM® Volbella®

  • Vertical lip lines (“smoker’s lines”)
  • Tear troughs in carefully selected patients

  • Jawline enhancement
  • Chin contouring
  • Lower face structural definition

A Thoughtful, Personalized Approach

Injectables are not one-size-fits-all. Treatment selection, placement, and dosing are guided by facial anatomy, expression, and long-term aging patterns. The goal is always to enhance, not alter your natural appearance.

Injectables FAQs

  • What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

    Botox® and other neuromodulators relax specific facial muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by movement, such as frown lines and forehead lines. Dermal fillers restore volume, improve contours, and soften folds caused by aging or structural volume loss. Many patients benefit from a combination approach.

  • Will injectables make me look unnatural or overdone?

    When placed conservatively and strategically, injectables should not make you look overdone. At VIP Facial Artistry, the goal is subtle refinement that enhances balance and preserves facial movement.

  • How long do injectable results last?

    Longevity depends on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Neuromodulators typically last up to four months. Dermal fillers may last from six months to over one year, with some formulations lasting longer in specific areas.

  • Are dermal fillers safe?

    When administered by an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, dermal fillers are considered safe. Product selection, injection depth, and detailed knowledge of facial anatomy are essential to minimizing risk and achieving natural results.

  • Can injectables be combined with surgical procedures?

    Yes. Injectables are often used in combination with facial surgery to fine-tune results or maintain rejuvenation over time. They can also be used independently for patients who are not ready for surgery.

  • Is there downtime after injectables?

    Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but is typically temporary. Post-treatment guidance is provided to support optimal results.

  • How often will I need injectable treatments?

    Maintenance schedules vary. Neuromodulators are typically repeated several times per year, while fillers are refreshed based on product longevity and individual aging patterns.

  • Who performs injectable treatments?

    All injectable treatments are performed or directly overseen by Dr. Gregory J. Vipond, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial anatomy and aesthetics.

  • How do I know if injectables are right for me?

    A personal consultation allows for evaluation of facial structure, movement, and goals. Some patients are best suited for injectables, while others may benefit more from surgical or combined approaches.
