Botox & Dermal Fillers

Forma Med Spa Coral Gables administers Botox and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to address dynamic wrinkles and facial volume loss under the anatomical expertise of prosthodontist Dr. Astrid Alves. Neuromodulator injections smooth horizontal forehead lines, glabellar frown lines, and periorbital crow's feet, with results lasting three to four months. Dermal fillers restore cheek volume, refine lip definition, and soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines, with outcomes lasting six to eighteen months. The clinic's medical background in facial anatomy informs precise, natural-looking treatment planning.

Forma Med Spa Coral Gables delivers injectable neuromodulator and hyaluronic acid filler treatments within the context of a medically led facial aesthetics practice, drawing on Dr. Astrid Alves's background as a prosthodontist — a specialty that requires advanced training in orofacial anatomy, occlusion, and the structural relationships of the lower face and jaw. Botulinum toxin type A injections work by transiently blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, preventing full-force contraction of the targeted facial muscle and softening the overlying dynamic line. Standard treatment zones include the frontalis for horizontal forehead rhytids, the corrugator supercilii and procerus complex for vertical glabellar lines, and the orbicularis oculi for lateral crow's feet. The clinic also addresses perioral lines, the platysmal bands of the neck, and masseter hypertrophy for jaw slimming. Because dosing is per unit, clients receive cost transparency proportional to their individual treatment area and muscle mass. Dermal fillers at Forma Med Spa use hyaluronic acid formulations engineered for different tissue planes and zones: robust, highly cross-linked products provide structural lift in the mid-face and cheeks, while softer formulations are used for perioral volume and lip augmentation. The HA gels are fully reversible with hyaluronidase if adjustment is needed. Specific product selection is discussed during the consultation. Treatment planning at Forma Med Spa Coral Gables reflects the clinic's positioning at the intersection of dental medicine and cosmetic aesthetics — Dr. Alves's understanding of the mid-face and lower facial thirds, occlusal balance, and natural proportional relationships guides injection placement to achieve harmonious, balanced outcomes rather than template-driven results. The clinic caters to Miami-Dade County clients from Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Brickell, South Miami, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
