Restore, Refresh, Rejuvenate
Restore volume and soften wrinkles without surgery
Injectables are non-surgical treatments that enhance your appearance by restoring volume, reducing fine lines, and relaxing overactive muscles. At New York Facial Paralysis, we use two main types of injectables: fillers and botulinum toxin (Botox). Fillers like hyaluronic acid can augment areas like your cheeks, temples, or jawline, creating a more youthful contour. Botox works by temporarily relaxing muscles and softening wrinkles caused by expressions. Dr. O tailors each treatment to your needs, ensuring natural, balanced results.
Hyaluronic acid fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers work by restoring volume and hydration to your skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that attracts and holds water, keeping your skin plump and smooth. When injected into specific areas like your cheeks or jawline, the filler binds to water molecules, creating volume and structure. This process lifts and reshapes the treated area, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing contours. The results are immediate and natural-looking, giving your face a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.
Hyaluronic acid fillers correct:
- Loss of volume in cheeks and temples
- Sagging or hollow areas around the jawline
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose
- Asymmetry in facial contours
- Deep folds, such as nasolabial folds
- Tired or sunken appearance in the midface
- Loss of volume from the lips and chin
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections
Botox temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. It blocks signals from the nerves to the targeted muscles, reducing their activity. This allows the overlying skin to smooth out, softening expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines. The effects are localized, meaning only the treated areas are affected, leaving the rest of your face natural and expressive. The results typically appear within a few days and last several months, giving you a refreshed look without surgery.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections correct:
- Forehead lines caused by repetitive expressions
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines, “number 11s”)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the sides of the nose
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Neck bands or cords (platysmal bands)
- Fine lines around the lips (smoker’s lines)
- Excessive muscle tightness contributing to asymmetry

- Minimally invasive with no downtime
- Immediate or quickly visible results
- Customizable to address your unique needs
- Reversible effects for fillers like hyaluronic acid
- Safe and well-tolerated when administered by experts

Injectables FAQs
Are injectables painful?
Most people find injectable treatments to be very tolerable. Dr. O uses ultra-fine needles and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid often include a small amount of lidocaine to help ease any sensation during the injections. Botox treatments usually feel like a quick pinch and are over in seconds.
How soon will I see results from injectables?
The timing of results depends on the type of injectable used. With fillers, you’ll see an immediate improvement in volume, with continued improvement over a few days as swelling subsides. Botox takes a few days to start working, with the full results visible within 14 days.
How long do the effects of injectables last?
The longevity of results varies by treatment and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-12 months, depending on the area treated. Botox results usually last 3-4 months before gradually wearing off.
Will my face look frozen or unnatural?
Not at all. Dr. O specializes in creating balanced, natural-looking results. Whether you’re receiving fillers or Botox, the goal is to enhance your features while maintaining your unique expressions. Each treatment is customized to ensure you look refreshed, not overdone.
What happens if I stop using injectables?
If you decide to stop using injectables, your face will gradually return to its natural appearance as the effects wear off. The treatments won’t cause your skin to sag or age faster. In fact, regular use of injectables can help delay the visible signs of aging over time.
