What are cosmetic injections?
Cosmetic injections include dermal fillers and injectables – prescription treatments that reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles, lines and sagging skin. There are several formulas used to correct specific issues in a quick, non-invasive manner. The result is smoother skin and a more youthful and rested appearance. The appropriate dermal filler or injectable is determined during a consultation.
What are the benefits of Dermal Fillers and Injectables?
For people who want to make subtle changes to their appearance and do not want or need invasive cosmetic surgery, dermal fillers and injectables offer an alternative to achieve their desired look. Whether achieved in one session or several, dermal fillers also provide patients with the following benefits:
- Quick appointment, often during lunch hour
- Very little or no discomfort
- Immediate results that continue to improve over time
- No downtime or recovery
- Return to normal activities after appointment

How are Dermal Fillers and Injectables Administered?
At the start of your appointment, we may apply a topical anesthesia if necessary to prevent any discomfort during your injectable filler treatment. Immediately following that, we inject the filler or injectable into the targeted areas to diminish or erase fine lines and wrinkles. The extent of the treatment depends on the depth of the lines and wrinkles. If the lines are fine and close to the surface of the skin, the filler is injected into the outermost skin layers; however, if we treat deeper lines or creases, the filler must be injected deeper into the skin to correct the imperfections. Dr. Schwartz is a diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and has extensive training to properly inject fillers and injectables so that the results are natural looking and not overdone.
How is the Recovery from Dermal Fillers and Injectables?
Most patients return to normal activities immediately following their treatments and have no issues at all. The only exception is with fat transfer injections where we recommend a couple of days of rest depending on where the fat was taken.
How Much Do Dermal Fillers and Injectables Cost in Pasadena, CA?

During a consultation we can discuss the cost with you, as well as our payment options, which include financing through Alphaeon Credit, Prosper® Healthcare Lending and CareCredit®.
What do I do next?
We require you to schedule a consultation so that we can evaluate your skin and recommend the best dermal fillers and injectables to achieve your desired look. At this appointment, we can answer any questions or address any concerns you may have so that you are confident that this is what you want to do. Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making the same expression thousands of times. Botox injections smooth wrinkles by safely and selectively blocking the muscles from contracting. Recommended every three - four months.
