Rating: 4.9 (225 reviews)

Not every concern about aging requires surgery, and for many patients, thoughtfully placed injectables can soften lines and restore volume with no downtime at all.

Subtlety Backed by Anatomical Precision

Dr. Tommaso Addona brings the same deep understanding of facial anatomy from his surgical practice to injectable treatments, using neurotoxins and dermal fillers to soften expression lines and restore lost volume with a light, deliberate touch. The goal is never a frozen or overfilled appearance, but a natural, well-rested one that still looks entirely like the patient. Ask Dr. Addona whether injectables alone, or as a complement to surgery, are the right next step for your goals.

What Are Injectables?

Injectables broadly refer to two categories of non-surgical treatment, neurotoxins and dermal fillers, each addressing a different aspect of facial aging. Neurotoxins relax the small muscles responsible for expression lines, such as those between the brows, across the forehead, and around the eyes, softening these lines without affecting the rest of the face. Dermal fillers, by contrast, restore volume that has been lost with age, commonly used in the cheeks, under-eye area, lips, and along the jawline.

Dr. Addona selects the appropriate product and injection technique based on each patient's anatomy and specific concern, often combining neurotoxin and filler treatment within the same visit for a more comprehensive result. Because these treatments are temporary, they also offer patients a lower-commitment way to explore subtle facial changes before considering a surgical procedure.

Benefits of Injectables

Injectable treatments offer a flexible, non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation, with benefits that include:

Softened expression lines through neurotoxin treatment
Restored volume in the cheeks, under-eyes, lips, or jawline through filler
No surgical downtime or incisions
Results that can be adjusted or built upon gradually over time
A treatment option that can stand alone or complement surgical procedures
Quick, in-office appointments with an immediate return to daily activities

Are You a Candidate for Injectables?

Ideal candidates are adults bothered by expression lines, volume loss, or subtle signs of facial aging who are seeking improvement without surgery, or who wish to refine their results alongside a surgical procedure. Injectables are also well suited to younger patients interested in preventive treatment for expression lines before they become more pronounced.

During your consultation, Dr. Addona will evaluate your specific areas of concern and discuss whether neurotoxin, filler, or a combination of both will best achieve your goals, along with realistic expectations for how long results will last.

What to Expect During Your Injectable Treatment

A consultation prior to treatment allows Dr. Addona to assess your facial anatomy and discuss which products and injection points will best address your specific concerns.

The Treatment

Injectable appointments are typically performed with topical numbing as needed and usually take fifteen to forty five minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Neurotoxin is injected into small, targeted muscle groups, while filler is placed more deliberately in areas of volume loss, often using a cannula technique to minimize bruising. Because subtlety is the goal, Dr. Addona typically favors a more conservative initial treatment, allowing further refinement at a follow-up visit if additional correction is desired.

After Treatment

Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Dr. Addona remains personally accessible for any questions that arise as results settle over the following days.

Doctor Addona has an eye for perfection even in the worst of cases. Breast reconstruction with him has been a pleasure. He's so reassuring! And of course my outcome was better than expected due to my circumstances. His PA Katie is the sweetest ever and very knowledgeable and helpful. Always a pleasure seeing her! The office staff are also amazing. Christine always makes things run smoothly from office visits to getting surgeries planned!

Recovery & Results After Injectables

Recovery from injectable treatments is minimal, though the timeline for visible results varies between neurotoxin and filler.

The First Few Days

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites is common initially and typically resolves within a few days. Neurotoxin results generally begin to appear within three to seven days, while filler results are often visible immediately, with any swelling settling shortly after.

Long-Term Results

Neurotoxin results typically last three to four months, while filler results can last from several months to over a year, depending on the specific product and treatment area. Many patients return periodically to maintain their results over time.

Why Choose Dr. Addona?

Dr. Addona's deep, surgically informed knowledge of facial anatomy allows him to place injectables with a level of precision that goes beyond standard technique, minimizing risk while maximizing natural results. He personally evaluates and performs every injectable treatment, applying the same restrained, detail-oriented approach that defines his surgical practice.

Injectables Frequently Asked Questions

How is neurotoxin different from dermal filler?

Neurotoxin relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines, while dermal filler restores lost volume and enhances facial contours in areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eyes. Because they address different aspects of facial aging, many patients achieve the most natural-looking rejuvenation by combining both treatments during the same visit.

Will injectables make my face look frozen or overfilled?

Not when performed with a conservative, individualized approach. Dr. Addona focuses on subtle, natural-looking enhancement that preserves your facial expressions and proportions. Treatments are designed to refresh your appearance rather than dramatically change it, with the option to build results gradually over time instead of overcorrecting in a single appointment.

Are injectable treatments painful?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort during injectable treatments. Topical numbing can be used to improve comfort, and the injections themselves are quick, making the overall experience well tolerated for the vast majority of patients.

How soon will I see results from injectables?

Dermal filler results are typically visible immediately, although mild swelling may temporarily affect the final appearance. Neurotoxin results develop more gradually, with most patients noticing improvement within three to seven days and full results appearing within about two weeks.

Can injectables be used alongside a surgical procedure?

Yes. Injectables are frequently used to complement surgical procedures by refining results, maintaining long-term rejuvenation, or addressing areas that surgery does not directly treat. Dr. Addona will recommend the most appropriate timing based on your procedure and recovery.

How often do injectable treatments need to be repeated?

Treatment intervals depend on the product used and your individual response. Neurotoxin treatments are typically maintained every three to four months, while dermal fillers may last anywhere from several months to well over a year depending on the filler type, treatment area, and your metabolism.
