Cosmetic Injectables in Baton Rouge, LA
What Are Cosmetic Injectables?
Cosmetic injectables are non-surgical treatments that enhance facial aesthetics by reducing wrinkles, restoring volume, and improving overall skin texture. At Model Dentistry, we offer a full range of injectable solutions—including Botox, dermal fillers, and advanced neurotoxins like Dysport and Xeomin—to help patients achieve smoother, more youthful-looking features.
As part of our broader smile enhancement services, cosmetic injectables provide a natural-looking complement to dental treatments like veneers, whitening, or orthodontics. Whether you're looking to soften lines around the eyes or restore lost volume to the cheeks or lips, our licensed providers deliver safe, customized results.
Types of Cosmetic Injectables We Offer
At Model Dentistry, we take a tailored approach to facial aesthetics. Depending on your goals and skin condition, we may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
1. Botox
Botox is a purified protein used to temporarily relax overactive facial muscles that cause expression lines. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Bunny lines (across the nose)
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Botox for TMJ is also used therapeutically at our practice to reduce jaw tension and headaches associated with bruxism and TMJ disorders.
2. Dermal Fillers
Unlike neurotoxins, dermal fillers add volume rather than reduce muscle activity. We use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based fillers to:
- Plump lips
- Restore volume to the cheeks
- Soften nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Correct under-eye hollows
- Enhance jawline definition
These treatments are ideal for patients who have experienced age-related volume loss or who desire more contour in specific facial areas.
3. Dysport and Xeomin
Dysport and Xeomin are alternative neurotoxins to Botox, with subtle formulation differences. Some patients respond better to one over another, depending on muscle sensitivity, desired onset speed, or longevity of results. We offer all three to provide flexible solutions that match your preferences and facial anatomy.
Your provider will walk you through the pros and differences between each product to help select the one best suited for your goals.
Why Choose Model Dentistry for Injectables?
Unlike med spas that may focus solely on skin care, Model Dentistry blends dental and facial esthetics to ensure that your injectables work harmoniously with your smile and facial structure. Our team brings a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy, symmetry, and balance to every injectable treatment.
Here’s what sets our approach apart:
- Expertise in Cosmetic & Functional Use – Dr. Lucy Raborn is certified in cosmetic injectables and regularly integrates Botox into both esthetic and therapeutic treatment plans.
- Natural Results – We avoid the overdone look and instead focus on enhancing your natural features while preserving movement and expression.
- Safe, Clean Environment – All treatments are performed in a medically supervised setting using sterile technique and premium-grade products.
- Smile-Focused Aesthetics – As a cosmetic dental provider, we understand how facial features like lips, cheeks, and jawlines affect the harmony of your entire smile.
Cosmetic injectables can also be combined with other cosmetic dentistry treatments like teeth whitening, 6 Month Smiles, or a complete smile makeover for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What to Expect From Treatment
Your cosmetic injectable appointment will begin with a consultation to review your goals, assess your facial structure, and determine the right product(s) and dosage. Treatments are minimally invasive, usually lasting 15–30 minutes, with little to no downtime.
Recovery is simple. Most patients return to their day immediately, though mild swelling or redness at injection sites is common for a short time.
Typical timelines for results:
- Botox/Dysport/Xeomin: 2–5 days for visible softening, with full results in about 1–2 weeks
- Dermal Fillers: Immediate improvement, with final results settling over a few days
Your results will typically last between 3 to 6 months for neurotoxins and up to 12 months (or longer) for many fillers.
Cosmetic Injectables FAQs
Are cosmetic injectables painful?
Most patients experience only minimal discomfort, often described as a small pinch. We offer numbing options for more sensitive areas to ensure a comfortable experience.
How long do the effects last?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last 3–4 months. Dermal fillers can last from 6 months to 18 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
Can I combine injectables with dental treatments?
Yes. In fact, combining injectables with cosmetic dental work can deliver a more complete aesthetic transformation. We often include injectables as part of full smile makeover plans.
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are botulinum toxins used to relax facial muscles. Dysport has a slightly faster onset and may spread more broadly, which can be beneficial in certain areas. Your provider will determine which is best for you.
Is Xeomin a safer or more natural option?
Xeomin is considered a “naked” neurotoxin, meaning it contains no accessory proteins. This may reduce the risk of antibody development over time, making it a good choice for long-term users.
