At Ellevate MD in the Bay Area, injectables offer a non-surgical way to enhance facial features, reduce signs of aging, and restore youthful volume. Whether you’re looking to smooth wrinkles, plump lips, or contour your features, our expert treatments provide natural, balanced results with minimal downtime.
At Ellevate MD, Botox is used to refresh and rejuvenate the face by softening expression lines while maintaining natural movement. By selectively relaxing specific facial muscles, Botox smooths out dynamic wrinkles, preventing them from deepening while preserving a natural and expressive look.
Dermal fillers at Ellevate MD are designed to restore facial harmony, enhance natural contours, and replace lost volume. With carefully placed injections, fillers can add definition to the jawline, plump the lips, lift the cheeks, and smooth deeper folds. Each treatment is customized to create a refreshed, youthful appearance without looking overdone.
When considering injectables, it’s important to understand the difference between Botox and fillers. While both target signs of aging, they work in distinct ways.
