Introduction to Injectables
Confidence starts with feeling like the best version of yourself. Over time, factors like aging, sun exposure, and repetitive facial expressions can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of facial volume. At Celebrity Medspa by Michael Keyes, M.D., our injectable treatments are designed to provide subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without the need for surgery.
Whether you want to smooth out "angry" forehead lines or restore youthful plumpness to your lips and cheeks, our expert team in Hollywood, FL, is here to help you achieve a refreshed and glowing appearance.
What are Neurotoxins and Dermal Fillers?
While both are injectables, they work in different ways to refresh your look:
- Neurotoxins (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®): These treatments temporarily relax the specific muscles that cause "expression lines," such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. By calming these muscles, the skin above them smooths out, giving you a more rested appearance.
- Dermal Fillers (Juvéderm®, Restylane®): These are gel-like substances (usually made of Hyaluronic Acid) injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth deep folds (like nasolabial folds), or enhance facial contours like the lips, chin, and jawline.
Popular Treatment Areas
Injectables offer versatile solutions for the entire face:
- Forehead & Between Brows: Smoothing "11 lines" and horizontal creases.
- Eyes: Softening crow’s feet and lifting the brow area.
- Cheeks: Restoring "apple" volume and lifting the mid-face.
- Lips: Adding subtle volume, symmetry, and defining the border.
- Jawline & Chin: Sculpting a more defined, youthful profile.
- Nasolabial Folds: Softening the "smile lines" around the mouth.
What are the Benefits of Injectables?
Many of our Hollywood patients choose neurotoxins and fillers for these key benefits:
- Instant or Rapid Results: Fillers show immediate results, while toxins take effect in days.
- Non-Surgical: Achieve rejuvenation without incisions or general anesthesia.
- No Downtime: Most patients return to work or social activities immediately.
- Customizable: Treatments are tailored to your unique facial anatomy.
- Preventative: Early "baby Botox" can prevent deep wrinkles from forming.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Injectable treatments are often called "lunchtime procedures" because they are quick and efficient. After your consultation, we may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Using ultra-fine needles, our specialists precisely administer the product into the targeted areas. The entire process typically takes 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Injectables are an excellent choice for men and women who want to address early to moderate signs of aging. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Have dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear when you move your face).
- Have static wrinkles or hollow areas (lines present even at rest).
- Desire fuller lips or more defined facial contours.
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations.
- Want to "test drive" a refreshed look before considering surgical options.
How Much Do Injectables Cost
The cost of neurotoxins is typically calculated per unit, while dermal fillers are priced per syringe. Total pricing depends on:
- The number of areas being treated.
- The specific brand of product used.
- The amount of product required to achieve your desired outcome.
During your consultation, our Patient Coordinator will provide a transparent, personalized quote. We also offer financing options to help make your aesthetic goals a reality.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is virtually no downtime with injectables. Some mild swelling, redness, or pinpoint bruising at the injection site is normal and usually disappears within 24–48 hours. We recommend:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
- Staying upright for 4 hours after neurotoxin injections.
- Avoiding excessive heat (saunas/hot tubs) for 24 hours.
- Applying ice gently to any areas of minor swelling.
