Injectables & Fillerssubtle, in-office, no downtime
Injectables soften the signs of aging without surgery. BOTOX relaxes the fine lines that come with expression, while dermal fillers restore lost volume and hydration. Both are done in the office during a single visit.
What injectables actually do
Not every refresh calls for an operation. Injectable treatments address two different signs of aging, and they work in different ways. Neurotoxins like BOTOX quiet the muscle movement that creates expression lines across the forehead, between the brows, and at the corners of the eyes. Dermal fillers replace volume that thins with age, smoothing folds and adding subtle contour to areas such as the cheeks and lips. Many patients use one, and some use both together, because they solve separate problems.
The common thread is that both are non-surgical, done in a short office visit, and carry little to no downtime. That makes injectables a practical starting point for someone who wants to look rested without committing to a procedure or a recovery period.
“The best injectable work is invisible. People should notice that you look rested, not that you have had something done.”
BOTOX and neurotoxins
BOTOX and related neurotoxins such as Dysport relax the small muscles responsible for lines of expression. The treatment takes only a few minutes with a fine needle and needs no downtime. Results generally appear within a few days and last about three to four months, after which the treatment can be repeated to hold the effect. Used conservatively, it softens lines while leaving your natural range of expression intact.
Dermal fillers
Fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane use hyaluronic acid, a substance the body already produces and absorbs naturally, which makes an allergic reaction unlikely. They restore volume, ease deeper folds, and hydrate the skin for a fresher look. The specific product and amount are chosen for each patient rather than applied by formula. Most sessions finish in under an hour, and you can return to your day right afterward.
Am I a good candidate?
Injectables suit healthy adults who want to soften early lines or restore volume without surgery, and who prefer a gradual, controllable change. They also work well as maintenance between larger decisions, or on their own for years. If you are pregnant or nursing, or you have certain neuromuscular conditions or allergies, some treatments may not be appropriate, which is one reason the visit begins with a short health review.
The honest part matters too. Injectables refresh the skin and relax expression, but they do not lift significant sagging or remove excess skin. If your goals point toward a firmer, more structural change, Dr. Lenny will tell you plainly and walk through the options in your consultation rather than recommend a treatment that will not meet your expectations.
How Dr. Lenny approaches the work
Dr. Leonard Roudner is a board-certified plastic surgeon and a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery who founded the Aesthetic Surgery Center in Coral Gables. The same principle that shaped his surgical reputation, natural and proportional results, guides how injectables are done here. The aim is that you look well, not that you look worked on.
That means starting conservatively. Placement follows your individual anatomy and the way your face moves, and the plan is built around what you want to change and what you want to keep. It is easier to add a little more at a follow-up than to undo an overfilled look, so the first pass is measured on purpose.
Your visit, recovery, and what comes next
Every treatment starts with a private consultation to look at your facial anatomy and talk through your goals. Numbing is optional and often used for comfort, and injections are given with a fine needle. Most appointments finish well within an hour. Afterward you may notice temporary tenderness, mild swelling, itching, or a little redness at the treated spots, which usually settles quickly. There is no real downtime, and most people head back to their normal activities the same day.
Neurotoxin results build over a few days, while filler volume shows right away and continues to settle over the following week or two. Done well, the effect reads as rest, not intervention. When you are ready, call 305-444-8585 to arrange a private consultation at the Coral Gables office, where Dr. Lenny will assess your face and recommend a conservative starting plan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between BOTOX and fillers?
They treat different things. BOTOX and similar neurotoxins relax the muscles that create expression lines, such as forehead creases and crow's feet. Dermal fillers replace lost volume and hydrate the skin, smoothing deeper folds and adding gentle contour. Many patients use one, and some combine both.
How long does BOTOX last?
Results usually appear within a few days and last about three to four months. Once the effect begins to fade, the treatment can be repeated to maintain a consistent, natural look.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane commonly last from several months up to a year or more, depending on the specific product and the area treated. Dr. Lenny will give you a realistic range for your plan during the consultation.
Is there any downtime?
Little to none. Treatments generally take under an hour, and most people return to their regular activities the same day. Any minor swelling or redness at the injection sites usually settles quickly.
Will it hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. Injections are given with a fine needle, and numbing is optional and often used for added comfort. Any tenderness afterward tends to be brief and mild.
What are dermal fillers made of?
Fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance your body produces and absorbs naturally, which makes an allergic reaction unlikely. The product and amount are chosen specifically for you rather than by a fixed formula.
Will I look overdone?
That is exactly what a conservative approach is designed to avoid. Dr. Lenny starts measured and builds toward natural, proportional results, since it is far easier to add a little more at a follow-up than to reverse an overfilled look.
