What is the difference between Botox and fillers?

Botox and similar wrinkle relaxers (Dysport, Xeomin, Letybo) work by temporarily relaxing muscles that cause expression lines like forehead creases and crow's feet. Dermal fillers add volume to areas that have lost fullness, such as cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eye hollows. Many patients benefit from both types of treatment working together.

How do I know which injectable is right for me?

During your complimentary consultation, your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Factors like the treatment area, your skin type, and desired results all influence which products will work best for you.

How long do injectable results last?

Wrinkle relaxers typically last 3 to 4 months. Dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 months to over 2 years depending on the product and treatment area. Your provider will discuss expected timelines during your consultation.

Is there any downtime after injectable treatments?

Most patients return to normal activities immediately. You may experience mild swelling or bruising at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment.

Are injectable treatments safe?

Injectable treatments have an extensive safety record when performed by qualified medical professionals. At Cienega Medical, only registered nurses and nurse practitioners administer injections, under the oversight of our board-certified dermatologist medical director. All products we use are FDA-approved.

What Are Injectable Treatments?

Injectable treatments are minimally invasive procedures that smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial contours without surgery or downtime. At Cienega Medical, our registered nurses and nurse practitioners have 10+ years of injection experience and perform thousands of treatments each year across our three Los Angeles locations.

We offer two main categories of injectables: wrinkle relaxers (like Botox and Dysport) that prevent muscle-driven lines, and dermal fillers that restore lost volume in cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eye areas. Every treatment begins with a complimentary consultation so your provider can understand your goals and recommend the right approach.
