Injectables

For adults with mild to moderate signs of facial aging, cosmetic injectables can be the ideal option when the goal is visible results of a more youthful appearance with little to no downtime. Most adults in good general health are excellent candidates for injectables. These treatments offer the following benefits:

• Non-surgical and minimally invasive
• Fast appointments, often 30 minutes or less
• Subtle, natural-looking results
• Customizable treatment and results maintenance plans
• Maintenance-friendly — great for long-term skincare routines

Whether you’re just starting with aesthetic treatments or are looking to maintain surgical results, injectables offer an effective, flexible option.

Injectable treatments at Dr. Minniti’s Beverly Hills office are quick, precise, and personalized.

• Consultation: Your visit begins with a consultation to assess your goals, facial anatomy, and prior treatment history.
• Treatment plan: Based on your needs, Dr. Minniti will recommend the right combination of neuromodulators or dermal fillers.
• Procedure: Injections are performed in-office and typically take less than 30 minutes. Most patients return to daily activities immediately.

Aftercare: Minor redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within hours to a couple of days. Dr. Minniti will provide aftercare instructions for optimal results.

Neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause expression lines — such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. By limiting muscle movement, they smooth the appearance of wrinkles while preventing deeper lines from forming.
Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the brows)
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
• Chin dimpling
• Neck bands

Dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane use hyaluronic acid or similar substances to restore volume beneath the skin. They fill in lines, smooth creases, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
Fillers are commonly used to treat:

• Lips (for volume and definition)
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Cheeks (to restore lift and fullness)
• Under-eye hollows
• Chin and jawline contours
• Marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth down)

• Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last 3–4 months.
• Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane may last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the area treated.
  Lips tend to break down filler faster, while areas like the cheeks can retain filler volume longer.

Yes, Injectable treatments are considered to be safe, but even though they are minimally invasive, they are still medical treatments that should only be performed by a qualified and licensed medical provider. Dr. Minniti uses only premium FDA-approved injectable wrinkle-relaxers and fillers, and his advanced training in facial anatomy and injection techniques minimizes risk and enhances safety.

Absolutely. Neuromodulators and dermal fillers often complement each other and can be used together to treat both dynamic lines (caused by movement) and volume loss. Combination treatments are commonly a part of customized anti-aging plans.

Pricing varies depending on the product used, the number of treatment areas, and how much product is needed.
