Injectables

There is a wide range of products which fall under the category of cosmetic injectables. MedSurge Advances offers BOTOX® and Restylane® injection training. These two clinically proven products are used in a variety of treatments to help patients look and feel their best.

Botox®

BOTOX® Cosmetic, manufactured by Allergan, is the trade name for the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin. Cosmetic treatment with BOTOX® is a non-surgical procedure designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles in various parts of the face and neck. Treatments generally target frown lines, forehead creases, and wrinkles around and between the eyes. BOTOX® injections work by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Restylane®

Restylane® is the trade name for a a crystal clear, biodegradable, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid developed by the Swedish company Q-Med. Unlike BOTOX®, Restylane® is a filler, and works by physically increasing the volume of the treated tissue. It is FDA approved as an injectable treatment for several cosmetic procedures, including:

  • Lip augmentation and/or enhancement
  • Reducing the appearance of lines around the mouth
  • Modifying nasolabial folds (under the nose) and eye trough deformities
  • Facial contouring of the cheeks and mouth

Treatment with Restylane® takes approximately 30 minutes. Like BOTOX®, Restalyne® is injected with a very thin needle into the target tissue. Results are instantaneous, and can last up to six months.

We offer the training to ensure that Botox® is used as safely and effectively as possible.
