Which Injectables Are Right for Me?

Aesthetic medicine is a continually evolving discipline. In past decades, your only options for cosmetic enhancements included surgical solutions, which involve risk, recovery, and downtime. Now, we have an array of minimally invasive choices to offer our patients.

The Key Laser Institute offers injectable treatments to provide quick, and convenient cosmetic improvements to gain and maintain facial beauty. These facial enhancements deliver excellent correction to three facial areas – the forehead and brow, the mid-face, and the neck and jawline.

These products include neuromodulators like Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella.

Neuromodulators

These injectables include Botox and Dysport and address lines and wrinkles on the face, eyes, and lips. They resolve dynamic wrinkles caused by constant expressions like smiling and laughing, which etch lines into the forehead, brow, and around the eyes.

These products prevent muscle movement that causes fine lines and wrinkles to form on the upper third of the face. Each treatment takes less than a half-hour. Results reveal themselves within a week and typically last three to four months. When considering these treatments, your injector’s skill and expertise are paramount. Only choose a board-certified dermatologist with medical training in facial anatomy and skin health.

Dermal Fillers

To restore facial volume and address cosmetic flaws like mild to moderate wrinkles, product lines like Juvéderm and Restylane are at the forefront of cosmetic fillers to enhance facial contours, create lip plumpness, and define facial profiles.

Dr. Key has traveled the world to study injection techniques to deliver optimal results to his patients in Portland, OR. He has led the way in employing microcannulas for dermal filler injections. The Key Laser Institute was among the first clinics to offer Restylane Silk, a specially formulated filler to address the tiniest of fine lines.

Kybella

This incredible dermal injection helps patients lose inches in the neck and lifts and tightens facial skin. In addition, it is the world’s only FDA-approved facial injectable to resolve submental fat beneath the chin. If your concerns include hereditary jowls, a turkey neck, or a double chin, you may be an ideal Kybella candidate.

Kybella resolves submental fat after two to four treatment sessions, and the problem never returns.
