Fine lines, lost volume, and the subtle shifts that come with age — they’re easy to notice and hard to ignore. The good news? You don’t need surgery or significant downtime to look refreshed and feel like yourself again. Injectable treatments are one of the most trusted, effective tools in modern aesthetics, offering real, natural-looking results with minimal disruption to your day.
At Ivy Aesthetics and Wellness Center, Dr. William Gartlan, DO, approaches every injectable treatment with the precision of a physician and a genuine commitment to your long-term confidence. You’ll receive a personalized consultation, an honest conversation about your goals, and a plan that’s built around your unique anatomy — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
What Are Injectable Treatments?
Injectables are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments administered directly into the skin or underlying tissue. They fall into two main categories: neuromodulators, which relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, and dermal fillers, which restore lost volume and smooth deeper lines. Both are quick, in-office procedures with little to no recovery time and results you’ll notice right away.
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing overactive facial muscles that cause wrinkles to form with repeated movement. Common treatment areas include crow’s feet, forehead lines, and the “11s” between the brows. Results typically appear within a few days and can last three to four months or longer with consistent treatment.
Ivy Aesthetics and Wellness Center offers several neuromodulator options to match your preferences and goals:
-
BOTOX® Cosmetic – The most recognized name in the industry, with decades of safety data and a long track record of natural, effective results.
-
Dysport® – A fast-acting alternative that some patients prefer for its natural diffusion in larger treatment areas like the forehead.
-
Letybo® – A newer neurotoxin with a precise formulation and a strong safety profile, offering another excellent option for the right candidate.
Dr. Gartlan will walk you through the differences among the products and help you choose the one best suited to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Dermal Fillers
While neurotoxins address movement-related wrinkles, dermal fillers target volume loss and deeper structural changes that develop over time. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, under-eye hollows, and jawline. Results are immediate, and depending on the product and area treated, they can last anywhere from six months to two years.
Ivy Aesthetics offers two leading filler collections, both FDA-approved and backed by extensive clinical research:
-
JUVÉDERM® – A hyaluronic acid–based filler family with formulas designed for everything from subtle lip enhancement to full facial contouring.
-
Restylane® – Another trusted hyaluronic acid filler line, with specialized products tailored to specific treatment areas and correction needs.
The right filler depends on your goals, facial anatomy, and the area being treated. Dr. Gartlan will guide that conversation during your consultation.
