The most common cosmetic injectables for your face fall under two categories: Toxins and Fillers.

Often known by their brand names, these non-surgical treatments are some of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world.

Facial Dermal Fillers

Popular Products:

Restylane®, Juvederm®, Sculptra®, Radiesse®, Bellafill®.

​How it works:

Facial Dermal Fillers use hyaluronic acid or collagen to create an effect that fills in lines and wrinkles, plumping up treated areas.

 

Usage:

  • Plump lips and lip flip.

  • Add volume to sagging cheeks, jawlines, and jowls.

  • Improve facial symmetry.

  • Chin, jaw and nose shaping. Improve profile.

  • Lower and under lid shadows and hollowness (tear troughs).

  • Fill in deep mid-facial lines such as marionette and smile lines.

  • Reduce appearance of scars.

 

Timeline:

  • Dermal fillers work instantly, but can take up to 4 weeks to fully settle in place.

  • Most last about 6-12 months, while some can last up to a few years.

Botulinum Toxin Type A

Popular Products:

Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau®.

​How it works:

Botulinum Toxin Type A blocks certain chemical signals in the nervous system, temporarily relaxing the facial muscles which cause wrinkles. Also known as neuromodulators, or just toxins.

​

Usage:

  • Smooth wrinkles in zones around the face, such as crow’s feet; forehead lines; worry lines; frown lines; bunny lines (top of the nose) and eleven lines (glabella); marionette lines; lipstick lines and smoker’s lines.

  • Smooth neck wrinkles, including bands and lines.

  • Lift corners of the mouth.

  • Correct gummy smile.

  • Soften jawline.

  • Reduce chin dimpling (cobblestone).

  • Non-surgical brow lift.

 

Timeline:

  • Takes between 7-14 days to see full results.

  • Typically lasts 3-6 months depending on treatment.​​​

Top areas for facial cosmetic injectables

Forehead

Also known as: Forehead lines, worry lines, forehead wrinkles

 

Forehead lines are often the first wrinkles to appear—and one of the most commonly treated areas with injectables. Caused by repeated expressions like raising your brows, these lines deepen over time but are also some of the easiest to treat.

​

Botox is typically the go-to, relaxing the muscles to smooth out lines and prevent new ones from forming. For deeper creases, dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane can be added to restore volume. Preventative Botox has also become popular, helping stop forehead lines from worsening over time and supporting long-term aesthetic goals.

Eyebrows

Also known as: Eyebrow lift, Droopy Brow, Botox Brow Lift, Eleven Lines, Frown Lines, Drooping or Hooded Eyes, Glabellar Lines.

 

One of the easiest ways to achieve a more youthful look is with a Botox brow lift—using toxins around the brows to lift and open the eye area for a refreshed, revitalized appearance.

​

By relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward, this treatment can restore a natural arch, soften forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, and improve the look of hooded or drooping eyelids. It’s a subtle lift with a big impact.

Under eyes

Also known as: Tear troughs, Under eye circles, dark circles, puffy eye bags, hollow under eyes, under eye wrinkles, sagging under eyes, crow’s feet, periorbital lines.

 

Tired of looking tired—no matter how much you sleep? Dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines under the eyes are common concerns, and under-eye fillers are a popular non-surgical solution. They brighten, plump, and restore a rested appearance, while Botox works well for crow’s feet.

 

Because the skin around the eyes is thin and expressive, it tends to age faster. Depending on your goals, a filler, toxin, or a combination can help. Preventative Botox can also reduce muscle movement around the eyes, helping slow the formation of deeper lines.

Lips

Also known as: Lip plump, lip flip, smoker’s lines, lipstick lines, vertical lip lines, gummy smile.

 

Whether you're noticing smoker’s lines, a thinning upper lip, or just want a more balanced smile, lip fillers can restore volume and smooth fine lines. For a subtle boost, the popular Botox "lip flip" relaxes muscles around the upper lip, creating a lifted look—without adding volume.

Chin

Also known as: Puppet lines, saggy jowls, undefined jaw, weak chin, double chin, profile, facial symmetry, heart-shaped face, receding chin, marionette lines, melomental folds.

 

Filler in your chin is really all about contour and definition. While filler in this area is definitely used to treat wrinkles, it is increasingly being used for facial shaping. It can help define and strengthen your jawline, enhance your profile, and improve facial symmetry.

 

Toxins are used on the chin wherever you have wrinkling or dimpling.  Toxins can smooth the lines on and around your chin, such as the famous marionette or puppet lines- those lateral lines on either side of your chin.
