BOTOX & Dermal Fillers

Dr Fortes's practice administers BOTOX Cosmetic and the full range of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for dynamic wrinkle reduction, facial volume restoration, and contouring. Neuromodulator injections address forehead lines, glabellar frown lines, crow's feet, brow depressors, masseters, and neck bands. Filler treatments target lip augmentation, cheek and mid-face volumising, nasolabial fold softening, tear trough correction, chin and jawline definition, and temple restoration. Bilingual consultations in English and Spanish are available.

Injectable aesthetic treatments at Dr Paul Fortes MD Plastic Surgery Houston represent the practice's non-surgical offering for patients seeking facial rejuvenation and contouring without the recovery associated with surgical procedures. BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the practice's primary neuromodulator, temporarily inhibiting acetylcholine release at targeted facial neuromuscular junctions to prevent full-force contraction of the underlying muscles and allow overlying dynamic wrinkle lines to smooth. Common injection zones include the frontalis for horizontal forehead lines; the corrugator supercilii and procerus for vertical glabellar '11' lines between the brows; the orbicularis oculi for lateral crow's feet; the brow depressors for a mild brow elevation (chemical brow lift); the masseter muscles for jaw slimming in patients with hypertrophic masseter; the mentalis for chin dimpling; the depressor anguli oris for downturned mouth corners; the upper orbicularis oris for a lip flip; and the platysmal bands for neck rejuvenation. Typical doses range from 20 to 60+ units per session depending on the zones treated, with results lasting three to four months on average before re-treatment. Dermal fillers at the practice span the full range of FDA-cleared hyaluronic acid products. Voluma XC and Sculptra are used for structural mid-face and cheekbone augmentation; Vollure XC and Volbella XC address perioral lines and lip volume; Juvederm Ultra XC and Restylane Kysse provide natural-feeling lip augmentation and definition; Restylane Refyne and Defyne soften deep nasolabial folds with natural movement; and finer formulations are used for tear trough correction in the delicate under-eye area. All filler treatments are conducted under thorough pre-treatment assessment of individual facial anatomy and proportion, ensuring that volume is placed in harmony with the patient's facial structure rather than simply filling lines. DiamondGlow facial resurfacing — a dry exfoliation and serum-infusion treatment — is also available as a non-invasive skin quality complement to injectable services. The practice offers bilingual services in English and Spanish, and financing through PatientFi is available for treatment packages.
