Injectables:

Injectable treatments are designed to rejuvenate the face by addressing two of the primary causes of aging: dynamic muscle movement and volume loss. At Turtle Creek Medical Aesthetics, we take an individualized approach - assessing facial anatomy, movement patterns, and skin quality to create natural looking results that enhance your features without changing who you are.

Botox® and Neurotoxins: Softening Expression Lines

Neurotoxins such as Botox®, Dysport® and Daxxify® work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that create repetitive movement lines over time. They are commonly used to soften wrinkles between the brows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet while helping prevent deeper etched lines from forming.

The goal is not to “freeze” your expression, but to create a refreshed, rested appearance while preserving natural facial movement.

Dermal Fillers: Restoring Structure and Volume

Dermal fillers are gel-like injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and improve facial balance. As we age—or after significant weight loss—the face can lose volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, lips, and chin, contributing to shadows, folds, and a tired appearance.

Fillers can be used strategically to restore support, refine proportions, and rejuvenate the face while maintaining a natural appearance.

The Difference Between Botox® and Fillers

The simplest way to understand the difference:

Botox® relaxes muscles to soften wrinkles caused by facial movement.
Dermal fillers restore volume and structure to address age-related changes and facial balance.

Many patients benefit from a combination approach, because facial aging is often caused by both muscle activity and volume loss. Your treatment plan is customized based on your anatomy, goals, and desired level of rejuvenation.
