Botox & Dermal Fillers

Muse Plastic Surgery in Atlanta offers Botox neurotoxin injections and dermal filler treatments through the practice's medical spa component, administered under physician oversight. Botox and comparable neurotoxins are used to soften dynamic expression lines across the forehead, glabellar complex, and crow's feet. Dermal fillers restore volume and smooth static lines in areas including the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, and perioral region. Both injectable categories are available as standalone treatments or as adjuncts to surgical procedures.

The medical spa component of Muse Plastic Surgery in Atlanta provides injectable neuromodulator and dermal filler treatments for patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation or wishing to complement the outcomes of surgical procedures with maintenance injectables. Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is the primary neuromodulator offered, working by temporarily blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction to prevent targeted facial muscles from fully contracting and thereby allow the overlying dynamic expression lines to relax and soften. Primary treatment zones for neuromodulator injection include the frontalis muscle for horizontal forehead lines, the corrugator supercilii and procerus complex for glabellar frown lines between the brows, and the orbicularis oculi for crow's feet at the outer canthal area. Additional injection sites may include the masseter muscles for jaw slimming, the depressor anguli oris and mentalis for perioral rejuvenation, and the platysmal bands for neck line improvement (Nefertiti-style lift). Effects typically onset within three to seven days and last three to four months with regular treatment. Dermal filler treatments at the Atlanta practice restore volume lost through the natural deflation of facial fat compartments that accompanies ageing, and smooth static lines that are present at rest rather than being driven by muscle contraction. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are used in the cheeks to restore malar projection and midface volume, in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines to reduce the depth of the lines framing the mouth, in the lips to enhance volume, define the vermilion border, and add hydration, and in the tear trough area to address the hollowing at the junction of the eyelid and cheek. Longer-duration filler types are used for structural support in the jawline and chin projection. CoolSculpting cryolipolysis for non-surgical fat reduction and laser hair removal are also available through the medical spa offering at the Roswell Road NE practice.
