What's the difference between neurotoxins and dermal fillers?

Neurotoxins, such as Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport, work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions, like frown lines and crow's feet. Dermal fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, work differently by adding volume beneath the skin to restore fullness, enhance contours, and smooth static lines and folds. Many patients combine both categories to address different concerns in the same treatment plan.

How do I know which injectable treatment is right for me?

The best way to determine which injectable is right for you is through a consultation with Dr. Amy Chow. During your visit, Dr. Chow will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend a treatment or combination of treatments, whether a neurotoxin, dermal filler, biostimulator, or another injectable option, tailored to your specific concerns and desired outcome.

Can injectable treatments be combined in one visit?

Yes. Many patients combine injectable treatments in a single visit, such as pairing a neurotoxin like Botox or Dysport with a dermal filler like Restylane or Juvederm, to address both dynamic wrinkles and volume loss at the same time. Dr. Chow designs individualized treatment plans that may layer complementary injectables depending on your goals and anatomy.

Is there downtime after injectable treatments?

Downtime is generally minimal across injectable treatments. Most patients experience only temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days, and can return to normal activities shortly after treatment. Dr. Chow will walk you through exactly what to expect for your specific treatment before you book.

How much do injectable treatments at Amy Chow, MD Medical Practice cost?

Cost depends on the specific injectable used, the areas treated, and how much product is needed to reach your goals. Because every treatment plan is customized, pricing is confirmed during a consultation with Dr. Chow's team.
