Minimally invasive treatments like cosmetic injectables can help you maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance without the downtime and risks associated with surgery. Products like BOTOX® Cosmetic, KYBELLA®, and Restylane® are designed to target concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, creases, and lost volume. If you want to rejuvenate your appearance, cosmetic injectable treatments by our board-certified plastic surgeon may provide an ideal solution.
“I love non-surgical cosmetic treatments. I am highly skilled at BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVEDERM™, Sculptra® Aesthetic, and Smartskin® resurfacing. All these treatments can instantly produce natural and magical results in preserving a patient’s looks and winning the battle against aging in the early and established stages.”
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes underlying facial muscles that are causing dynamic wrinkles, creating a more youthful appearance around the eyes and forehead. This minimally invasive injectable treatment works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, reducing contractions in those muscles and softening expression lines. With regular BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, many patients can significantly diminish signs of fine lines and experience a smoother, more refreshed look long into the future.
JUVÉDERM®
Made up of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that naturally occurs in the human body, JUVÉDERM® fillers use an injectable gel with a smooth consistency to improve the skin’s underlying structure. With a range of FDA-approved products, the JUVÉDERM® family can help patients achieve a rejuvenated, natural-looking appearance. JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC treats severe facial wrinkles and folds, while JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC adds volume to thin lips to provide a fuller appearance and correct signs of aging. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC can augment the cheeks or chin and improve facial contours, and JUVÉDERM Ultra and Ultra Plus® address moderate to severe facial wrinkles. JUVÉDERM is proven to be safe and effective for most skin types.
JUVÉDERM® SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ is the latest product in the JUVÉDERM® line of injectables. The FDA-approved skin rejuvenation treatment is designed to target fine lines and skin texture in the cheeks to create a glowing complexion. SKINVIVE™ is a hyaluronic acid-based microdroplet injectable that locks in hydration for healthier and smoother skin quality, and can be especially beneficial for those with dry skin. SKINVIVE™ can treat multiple skin tones, often has a quick treatment time, and usually results in little to no downtime. In fact, most patients resume their normal daily routines immediately after the procedure.
Treatment involves a minimal amount of SKINVIVE™ gel injected into the treatment area just below the skin. The microdroplet technique is designed to provide very precisely targeted injections of the SKINVIVE™ solution, which helps produce more even and natural-looking results. The effects can often last up to nine months, and patients can schedule follow-up treatments once the results begin to wear off.
Restylane®
Dermal fillers have proven exceptionally adept at smoothing out even the most pronounced forms of wrinkles and fine lines along the face. Restylane® is one of the more popular injectable fillers available for many reasons: it can significantly reduce the appearance of moderate-to-severe wrinkles and creases; the treatment is fast and the results are rapidly apparent; and the effects are long lasting. Composed of hyaluronic acid, Restylane® binds its chemicals to moisture in your skin, effectively causing the areas targeted for treatment to appear smoother and more youthful. Restylane® has proven very effective at rejuvenating nasolabial folds (lines between the nose and mouth), and is now FDA approved for lip augmentation in patients 21 and older. With Restylane®, Dr. Petti can add volume to the lips and give them a fuller, more sensual, and more contoured look that can enhance the appearance of your entire face.
Restylane® Eyelight
Restylane Eyelight helps improve undereye hollows so that you can look how you feel when you open your eyes: refreshed and ready to face the day. Restylane® Eyelight is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that can be safely applied to the undereye area. This product is used where there is a loss or lack of volume to help smooth out the undereye area and fill in the grooves which helps you look less tired and more refreshed. Results can last up to 18 months.
The entire Restylane® injectable treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes to perform, and patients are usually able to resume normal daily routines right after the procedure. Even better, Restylane® results are known to last up to a year and longer, and can be maintained with follow-up treatments!
RADIESSE®
RADIESSE® can help to provide you with a renewed, healthier, and more youthful appearance. When injected into targeted facial areas, such as hollowed cheeks, RADIESSE® is designed to actually stimulate collagen regrowth. This dermal filler consists of calcium-based microspheres, which aid collagen reproduction in the skin. Because of this, results often tend to last longer than outcomes from other dermal fillers. During treatment, RADIESSE® typically begins to improve the appearance of the skin immediately. Over time, as your body naturally produces collagen in the treatment areas, your appearance should continue to improve. Radiesse® can be ideal for improving volume in the cheeks, as well as smoothing marionette lines and smile lines. RADIESSE® can also be used for hand rejuvenation.
Sculptra®
If you’ve experienced a loss of volume in facial features such as the cheeks and temples, Sculptra® can replace that volume for a healthier, more youthful appearance. This long-lasting filler is one of the most innovative injectable products available, and it can be used for a number of issues you may be experiencing with your skin. Sculptra® can not only add volume to facial features – it can also smooth out deep wrinkles and signs of age along the face, and even reduce the appearance of facial depressions and acne scarring. Composed of poly-L lactic acid, Sculptra® does not typically require an allergy test before treatment. The solution will be injected into the targeted areas, where it will work to stimulate your own collagen. As your collagen continues to grow, the effects should continue to improve. Sculptra® is known to have results that last for up to two years, and even longer in some cases. Once the effects begin to fade, an occasional touch-up treatment can maintain the effects.
KYBELLA®
An FDA-approved injectable solution, KYBELLA® is designed to reduce excess fat beneath the chin. Once injected, KYBELLA® breaks down the targeted fat cells, which are metabolized and removed from the body. Over a series of treatments, many patients affected by excess fat collection under the chin can achieve a more defined and contoured jawline without the need for surgery. Results can be long-lasting, as the destroyed fat cells can no longer accumulate in the treated area.
Lip Enhancement
If you’ve always wanted full, luscious lips, nothing makes more sense than a visit to Dr. Petti. With JUVÉDERM Vollure®, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, and Restylane Kysse®, Dr. Petti can give you the fullness you desire to look younger and sexier than ever. These advanced dermal fillers are specifically formulated to enhance lip volume and smooth vertical lip lines for more natural-looking results that generally last for months to a year or longer.

Hand Rejuvenation
Restore lost volume in the back of the hands for a renewed appearance with our hand rejuvenation treatment. Products like RADIESSE®, Vollure®, and Voluma® can improve tissue firmness by adding subtle volume to the skin on your hands. These dermal fillers also stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, helping to gradually enhance skin texture and elasticity over time. The result is typically smoother, younger-looking hands that better match the refreshed appearance of your face and body.
