An injectable treatment is when Dr. Pilest, a master injector, uses a needle to place a serum beneath the skin to improve skin health or appearance. They are considered minimally-invasive treatments because they do enter the body, albeit just under the skin. Some treatments penetrate deeper than others, but no injectable treatment involves incisions or a surgical opening of the skin.
These treatments can typically be grouped into three categories: neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and other injectables.
Neuromodulators
This class of injectables is most often used to combat wrinkles, fine lines, and other age-related facial blemishes (think Botox). Neuromodulators target the muscles under the skin, rather than the wrinkles themselves. By strategically relaxing and immobilizing specific muscles, the overlying skin can smooth out and let wrinkles relax. The highly-trained Irvine injectables providers at Total Dermatology have the expertise and experience to help you realize natural results that preserve your youthful look without impacting your ability to express yourself.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers combat the signs of aging by filling in lost or lacking volume. For wrinkles, fine lines, and scars, these injectables fill in the skin to create a smooth, even texture. Similarly, when volume is lost or lacking in the cheeks, lips, or along the jawline, dermal fillers “plump up” these areas creating more healthy contours.
Other Injectables
These substances can perform a variety of other cosmetic functions. Injectable treatments offered by Total Dermatology include the reduction of fat deposits and decreasing your skin’s susceptibility to bruising and the use of platelet-rich plasma and other blood-based serums to add growth factors to regenerate the skin.
Injectables offer an incredibly versatile range of uses and modes of operation. They can be used to combat areas of concern in many places on the face but can be used to combat some signs of aging on the hands as well.
Injectables can be used to remedy problems like:
As you can see, there are many applications for injectables, and many treatment options for these concerns. You and your cosmetic care provider at Total Dermatology will review these options together during your consultation to ensure you get the right treatment for your goals.
Injectable skin fillers have added new dimensions to the field of cosmetic dermatology, allowing new forms of facial rejuvenation and wrinkle treatment without surgery. Injectable skin and wrinkle fillers are designed to increase tissue volume (as with lip augmentation), reduce wrinkles, and improve skin’s overall contour.
The goal for our Orange County injectables patients is subtle, natural-looking results that make you look better, not different.
There are other treatment options that can provide results similar to those seen with injectables.

*Individual Results May Vary
Usually, the only discomfort experienced is due to the injection of the substance during the treatment. Many fillers and injectables utilize a numbing agent (like novocaine) to minimize the pain caused by the needle. In other cases, our expert injectors use a topical anesthetic or numbing agent to minimize discomfort.
Specific risks will vary by the substance used. Some contain chemicals that are known to cause allergic reactions, so you’ll want to be clear with your provider about any allergies you have.
While complications with injectables and dermal fillers are rare, they can include:
While injectable and dermal filler treatments will always be less expensive than any similar surgical procedures, there can be a wide range in the final cost. The type of injectable or filler chosen will contribute to the total, but the biggest factor will be the amount of injectable required for the treatment plan.
Recovery from injectable procedures will vary depending on the type of treatment you choose. We strive to deliver the best injectables Orange County has to offer and most require almost no downtime, and you can expect to begin seeing results within weeks, if not immediately (like in the case of dermal fillers). Simple steps to care for your treated areas will be necessary, but these usually cause very little inconvenience to patients.
When it comes to your skin and your health, it really is all about what’s best for you. Total Dermatology understands this, which is why we offer versatile treatments with experienced and highly trained aesthetic professionals led by Dr. Nissan Pilest. Your Total Dermatology transformation awaits.
