Facial Injections

Botox, Dermal Fillers, and More: Facial aging is a natural process, but modern treatment options allow for subtle, refreshed results without surgery. At Derma Birmingham, we provide expert facial injections designed to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and enhance your natural facial shape. Whether you want hyaluronic acid injections for a youthful look or lip injections in Birmingham for more volume, our treatments offer natural results with little downtime.

Many people are appropriately nervous about the idea of filler since so many people in our society have been over-filled by novice injectors. Dermatologists have spent eight years and 16,000 patient care hours understanding and treating the skin. Dermatologists spend most of their working hours with a syringe in hand diagnosing and treating more than 3,000 skin conditions and are best suited to perform undetectable cosmetic treatments to refresh their patients’ appearances.

Botulinum Toxin Injections (Botox®, Daxxify®, Dysport®, and More)

Botulinum toxin injections, including Botox®, Daxxify®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, are neuromodulators that relax muscles responsible for facial wrinkles. These treatments effectively reduce the appearance of:

Frown lines between the eyebrows
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Forehead wrinkles caused by repeated expressions

Botulinum toxin injections relax facial muscles to create a smoother, more youthful look without making the face appear stiff or frozen. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime. Results typically become visible within days and last between three to four months, depending on the individual.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Facial Volume and Contouring

As we age, the face loses volume due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This can result in hollow temples, sunken eyes, flat cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, downturned mouth corners, and thinning lips. Hyaluronic acid injections, like Juvederm®, Restylane®, and RHA® fillers, help add volume, shape facial contours, and reduce wrinkles.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:

Replenishes lost facial volume
Enhances cheek and jawline definition
Softens fine lines and deep creases
Hydrates the skin for a refreshed look

Each filler is pre-loaded in sterile syringes for precise application. After treatment, mild swelling or redness may occur but typically resolves within a few days. The type of filler, the injection site, and your body's metabolism determine how long results last, ranging from several months to over a year.

Lip Injections in Birmingham: Plump & Define Your Lips

Lip injections in Birmingham provide a non-surgical way to add volume, shape, and balance to your lips. Using hyaluronic acid fillers, we can:

Add natural-looking fullness to thin lips
Define the lip border for improved shape
Reduce vertical lip lines (“smoker’s lines”)
Improve lip symmetry for a balanced look

Lip augmentations are carefully administered to ensure soft, natural results that complement your facial features. The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and while mild swelling or tenderness may occur, most patients return to their normal routine the same day.

What to Expect Before and After Facial Injections

To reduce the chance of bruising, avoid non-prescription blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and herbal supplements for one to two weeks before treatment. After injections, you may have mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, but these effects usually go away in a few days.

For the best results, follow aftercare instructions, avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours, and stay hydrated to keep your skin healthy and extend the effects.
