Injectables: Natural-Looking Results With Minimal Downtime

Injectable treatments are one of the most popular ways to refresh your appearance without surgery. At Body Sculpt + Wellness in San Juan Puerto Rico, we focus on subtle, natural-looking enhancements—helping you look more rested, smoother, and more confident while still looking like you.

Two of the most common categories of injectables are neuromodulators and dermal fillers. They treat different concerns and many patients choose a customized plan that combines both.

Neurmodulators

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments designed to soften the look of expression lines caused by repeated facial movement. They work by relaxing targeted muscles, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and can prevent certain lines from becoming deeper over time.

Common areas treated include:

  • Forehead lines

  • Frown lines (“11s” between the brows)

  • Crow’s feet (outer eye lines)

  • Brow lift effect (subtle lift/opening of the eyes)

  • Chin dimpling and neck banding (in select patients)

What to expect:

  • Treatment is quick (often 10–15 minutes)

  • Minimal downtime

  • Results typically start appearing within a few days and continue improving over about 1–2 weeks

  • Most people maintain results with routine appointments

Neuromodulators are ideal if you want a smoother, more refreshed look while keeping natural facial expression.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are designed to restore lost volume, refine facial contours, and enhance features. As we age, we naturally lose collagen, fat, and structural support. Fillers can help bring balance back to the face by adding support in precise areas.

Common areas treated include:

  • Cheeks (lift and contour)

  • Lips (shape, definition, hydration)

  • Smile lines (nasolabial folds)

  • Marionette lines (corners of the mouth)

  • Jawline and chin (definition and balance)

  • Under-eye hollows (for select candidates)

What to expect:

  • Results are visible immediately, with continued settling over the following days

  • Mild swelling or bruising is possible

  • Results can last months to over a year depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism

Fillers are best for patients looking for improved facial symmetry, softer shadows, and more defined structure—without looking “overdone.”

  • Sculptra is an injectable treatment designed to improve facial volume and skin firmness gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Instead of giving an instant “filled” look, it works over time to help restore structure in areas like the cheeks, temples, and midface, creating a subtle, natural-looking result.

  • Evolysse is a newer hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler designed to smooth the look of facial lines and folds and provide natural-looking support under the skin. It’s manufactured using a cold-process (“Cold-X”) technology intended to better preserve the HA structure, with the goal of a soft, flexible feel in tissue. Like other HA fillers, results are typically visible right away, with improvement as swelling settles, and many patients maintain results with periodic touch-ups based on their goals and how quickly their body metabolizes filler.

  • Juvederm is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers used to add volume, refine facial contours, and soften the appearance of lines and folds. Different formulas are designed for different goals—such as enhancing the lips, restoring cheek volume, or improving deeper facial folds—so treatment is tailored to your anatomy and desired look. Results are typically visible right away, with mild swelling or bruising possible, and longevity varies by product, treatment area, and individual metabolism.

  • Belotero is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler often chosen for smoothing fine lines and more delicate areas where you want a subtle, seamless result. It’s commonly used for etched-in lines around the mouth, certain lip lines, and other superficial wrinkles because it integrates smoothly into the skin and can look very natural when placed with the right technique. Results are typically visible immediately, with possible mild swelling or bruising, and maintenance timing depends on the area treated and how quickly your body metabolizes filler.

  • Jeuveau is an FDA-approved neuromodulator (botulinum toxin type A) used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that create expression lines. It’s commonly used for areas like the forehead and frown lines (“11s”) to create a smoother, more refreshed look while keeping results natural. Treatments are quick with minimal downtime, results typically begin to appear within a few days, reach their full effect in about 1–2 weeks, and are commonly maintained with repeat visits every few months depending on your individual response.

  • Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator (botulinum toxin type A) used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that contribute to expression lines. It’s commonly used for areas like the frown lines between the brows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance with natural movement. Treatments are typically quick with minimal downtime, results generally begin within a few days, reach full effect in about 1–2 weeks, and are maintained with routine visits every few months based on your goals and how your body responds.

  • Dysport is an FDA-approved neuromodulator (botulinum toxin type A) used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause expression lines, helping soften wrinkles while keeping results natural. It’s commonly used for areas like the frown lines (“11s”), forehead, and crow’s feet, and many patients like it for broader treatment areas because it can diffuse smoothly when placed properly. Treatments are quick with minimal downtime; results often start appearing within a few days, settle fully in about 1–2 weeks, and are typically maintained with follow-up visits every few months depending on your individual response.

Smooth Expression Lines
Injectable wrinkle relaxers help soften lines caused by repetitive facial movement—like frown lines between the brows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. The goal is a refreshed look that still feels natural and expressive.

Restore Volume Loss

As we age, we lose collagen and facial volume, which can create a tired or hollow appearance. Injectable treatments can restore subtle fullness in areas like the cheeks, temples, and midface to bring back balance and lift.

Enhance & Define Features

Injectables can refine facial contours and improve definition in areas like the lips, chin, and jawline. This is ideal for patients who want gentle enhancement, improved symmetry, or a more sculpted profile without surgery.

Soften Lines & Skin Creases

Certain injectables are great for smoothing etched-in lines and folds, such as smile lines, lines around the mouth, and other skin creases. When placed strategically, they can soften shadows and create a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
