What Are
Injectables?
Botox relaxes the muscles that crease the skin. Hyaluronic acid filler restores lost volume, and Sculptra and Radiesse rebuild your own collagen over months. At Idriss Dermatology, every injection is placed by Dr. Shereene Idriss or Dr. Juliya Fisher, in planned stages, so you never look stiff. When an injectable is not the answer, we will say so.
Botox, Filler or Sculptra?
Compare Injectables
Botox, filler and the biostimulators Sculptra and Radiesse each do a different job, and many plans combine them. Your doctor will tell you which, if any, you need.
| Treatment | Best for | Results last | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| BotoxAlso Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau | Lines made by movement: frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow’s feet | About 3 to 4 months | None; a small bruise is possible |
| Dermal FillersHyaluronic acid fillers and Skinvive | Structure lost with age in the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples and lips | Months to years, by filler and area | Little; possible swelling or bruising |
| Sculptra & RadiesseCollagen building biostimulators | Broad volume loss with thinning skin, such as hollow temples and cheeks, and structure along the jaw | Often longer than hyaluronic acid filler | Little; possible swelling or bruising |
| PDO ThreadsDissolvable PDO threads | Early sagging along the jaw and cheeks, alongside other treatments | Varies; the threads dissolve over months | A few days; possible swelling, bruising or tenderness |
“The first thing I do is watch your face move, and think about where the vessels run. Then I place as little as it takes, in stages, so you still look like yourself.”
Ready when you are.
In Our Patients’ Words
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Idriss since 2019, before she opened her private practice. She never rushes appointments and always takes time to explain everything, answering all my questions. She’s mindful of my budget and tailors treatments for the best results. Dr. Idriss and her team are warm, caring, and go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable. The care here is highly personalized and exceptional—I cannot recommend this office enough and will remain a patient for many years.”

Good injecting comes down to anatomy: where the vessels run, how deep each muscle sits, and how a face will age around what is placed today. That is a dermatologist’s training.
