PROCEDURES OF EXCELLENCE

Our faces constantly change throughout our lives, reflecting years of expressions, environmental factors, and the natural aging process.

These changes often appear gradually—fine lines deepen, youthful volume diminishes, and facial contours shift. Injectable treatments have become increasingly popular as a refined solution to these concerns, offering subtle yet effective enhancement in a more minimally invasive package.

The Harmony You Choose!

Injectable treatments are one of the most versatile and accessible approaches to facial enhancement available today. Through precisely placed formulations that relax muscles, add volume, or stimulate collagen production, Dr. Nodwell creates results that honor your natural features while addressing signs of aging that may not reflect how youthful you feel inside.

For many patients, choosing injectable treatments offers an opportunity to refresh their appearance without surgery. Whether you're looking to soften expression lines, restore lost volume, or enhance your facial contours, a customized injectable treatment plan can help you achieve your aesthetic goals with minimal downtime.

Why Do We Need Injectables?

Your face naturally changes throughout your life, responding to factors like sun exposure, repeated facial expressions, lifestyle choices, and the inevitable process of aging. These changes can significantly impact your appearance in ways that may not align with how vibrant and youthful you feel.

Each time you smile, frown, or express emotion, your facial muscles create temporary creases in your skin. Over decades, these repetitive movements gradually etch themselves as permanent lines, especially in areas like your forehead, between your brows, and around your eyes. Additionally, your face gradually loses vital substances like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—compounds essential for maintaining youthful volume, firmness, and hydration.

Volume loss throughout your skin is another significant change that can significantly impact your appearance. The natural fat pads that provide youthful fullness to your cheeks and temples begin to diminish and shift with age. Combined with bone resorption, which subtly changes your facial structure, these processes create hollows and depressions that can make you appear tired or older than you feel.

Injectable treatments offer a sophisticated solution to these natural changes, allowing you to address specific concerns without surgery. Unlike topical products that work only on the skin's surface, injectables work at deeper structural levels to relax expression muscles, restore lost volume, or stimulate your body's natural collagen production.

When performed with artistic vision and technical precision, these treatments create subtle, natural-looking improvements that help you look like a refreshed version of yourself rather than a different person altogether.

What Are My Injectable Options?

Injectable treatments have revolutionized aesthetic medicine, offering precise, customizable solutions for facial rejuvenation. Understanding the nuanced differences between various injectables allows you to craft a truly personalized approach to aesthetic enhancement.

Neuromodulators
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Biostimulators
Parent Slide

Neuromodulators are the gold standard for addressing dynamic wrinkles – those lines that form from repetitive muscle movements. By temporarily paralyzing specific muscles throughout the face, these injectables smooth existing lines and prevent the formation of new ones.

Child Slide

Botox

Botox is the most recognized name in neuromodulator treatments and has been a trusted solution for over two decades. Its purified botulinum toxin effectively reduces muscle activity, creating a smoother, more relaxed appearance.

Child Slide

Dysport

Offering a slightly different molecular structure, Dysport spreads more quickly across treatment areas. This characteristic makes it particularly effective for larger surface areas like the forehead, providing a natural-looking softening of expression lines.

Child Slide

Xeomin

Often referred to as the "naked neurotoxin," Xeomin contains only the pure therapeutic component of botulinum toxin. This minimal approach can be beneficial for patients who have developed resistance to other neuromodulators.

Parent Slide

Hyaluronic acid fillers offer a remarkable solution for volume loss. They work to restore youthful fullness and smooth out static wrinkles. These injectable gels integrate seamlessly with your natural tissue, creating soft, natural-looking results.

Child Slide

Juvederm

A family of fillers with multiple formulations, Juvederm excels at addressing various concerns. From subtle lip enhancement to deep facial contouring, its versatility makes it a go-to choice for many patients.

Child Slide

Restylane

Known for its firm, supportive structure, Restylane works beautifully for creating definition. Its range of products allows for precise targeting of different facial areas and concerns.

Child Slide

Belotero

A softer, more delicate filler that integrates exceptionally well into fine lines and delicate areas. It's particularly effective for treating very fine wrinkles and subtle volume loss.

Parent Slide

Unlike traditional fillers, biostimulators work by encouraging your body's natural collagen production, offering a more gradual but long-lasting approach to facial rejuvenation.

Child Slide

Sculptra

A poly-L-lactic acid-based injectable that stimulates your body's own collagen production. Sculptra creates subtle, natural-looking improvements that develop over time, offering a more comprehensive approach to facial aging.

Child Slide

Radiesse

Radiesse, primarily used in specific situations, combines immediate volume correction with long-term collagen stimulation. Its calcium hydroxylapatite composition provides both immediate and progressive results.

The Nodwell Experience

Facial Rejuvenation Excellence 

Injectable treatments have taught me that some of the most dramatic transformations can happen with the subtlest changes. Many practitioners approach injectables like they’re filling in wrinkles, but I’ve never seen it that way. The precision required rivals anything I do in the operating room, just on a smaller scale.

When I evaluate your face for injectable treatments, I'm thinking about muscle patterns, facial dynamics and how your expressions contribute to your overall appearance. My surgical background gives me an advantage here because I understand facial anatomy on a deeper level. I know which muscles cause which wrinkles and how addressing one area will affect the balance of your entire face.

What I find most rewarding about injectable work is the immediate joy it brings and the level of collaboration involved. These treatments require ongoing conversations about your goals, your lifestyle and how you want to age. Some people want to prevent lines from forming, while others want to restore volume they've lost, and many want both. There's no universal formula, so I approach each treatment individually.

The Nodwell Experience

"Surgical excellence is just the beginning."

Am I a Candidate for Injectable Treatment?

Age isn't a strict determining factor for injectable treatments. Younger patients might seek preventative solutions, while more mature individuals often use injectables to restore lost volume or smooth emerging wrinkles. What matters most is your skin's condition and your personal aesthetic objectives.

Certain medical conditions may impact your eligibility for injectable treatments. Individuals with autoimmune disorders, active skin infections, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should postpone their treatments. Patients with a history of keloid scarring or extreme skin sensitivity might require alternative approaches.

Your medical history plays a crucial role in determining treatment suitability. Medications like blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or specific skin treatments can interact with injectable procedures. During your consultation, a comprehensive review of your current health status, medications, and previous cosmetic interventions will help create a safe, personalized treatment plan.

Skin quality is another critical factor. Ideal candidates have skin with some remaining elasticity, allowing for optimal product integration and natural-looking results. While injectables can address various concerns, they work best on skin that retains some inherent resilience and healing capacity.

Lifestyle factors also influence your candidacy. Regular smokers, individuals with significant sun damage, or those experiencing rapid weight fluctuations might see less predictable or long-lasting results. A commitment to overall skin health—including sun protection, hydration, and a consistent skincare routine—can enhance and prolong your injectable treatment outcomes.

Your aesthetic goals should align with what injectable treatments can realistically achieve. These procedures excel at subtle enhancements, volume restoration, and addressing early aging signs. They cannot dramatically reshape facial structure or replace surgical interventions for significant tissue modification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Combine Multiple Injectable Treatments?

Injectable treatments have become increasingly sophisticated, offering patients more nuanced options for aesthetic enhancement. Experienced practitioners like Dr. Nodwell and his team can strategically layer injectable treatments to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation.

The magic of combination treatments lies in their ability to address multiple concerns simultaneously. For instance, combining Botox with hyaluronic acid fillers can provide a more complete transformation. Botox relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles, while fillers plump areas that have lost volume, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The strategic placement of these treatments can lift sagging areas, soften lines, and restore a natural-looking fullness.

However, not all combinations are created equal. The key to successful injectable treatments lies in working with the team at Nodwell Plastic Surgery, who understand facial anatomy and can create a personalized approach. Your unique facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals will guide the selection and combination of treatments.

It's crucial to have a comprehensive consultation that explores your specific concerns and aesthetic objectives. A detailed assessment allows your provider to develop a nuanced treatment plan that maximizes results while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.

How Should I Prepare for My Injectable Treatment?

Properly preparing for your treatment can help ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. While these procedures require significantly less preparation than surgical options, following a few simple guidelines can enhance your experience and outcomes.

In the week before your treatment, avoid medications and supplements that can increase bleeding risk or bruising. Common items to temporarily discontinue include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, fish oil, vitamin E, and certain herbal supplements. If you take any of these for medical reasons, consult with your primary physician before making any changes.

Alcohol consumption and smoking can both have a negative impact on your final results, so consider avoiding both in the weeks leading up to your treatment. 

On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean skin free of makeup, particularly if you're having treatment in areas typically covered by cosmetics. This allows Dr. Nodwell to clearly see your facial anatomy and ensures no contaminants are introduced during the injection process.

While injectable procedures typically involve minimal downtime, some temporary effects like minor swelling, redness, or occasional bruising may occur. If you have an important event coming up, schedule your treatment at least two weeks beforehand to ensure any potential side effects have been fully resolved.

For first-time patients, bringing photos that illustrate your aesthetic goals can be helpful during your consultation. These visual references help ensure your expectations align with what injectable treatments can realistically achieve and assist Dr. Nodwell in developing your personalized treatment plan.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect from a Injectable?

When you choose injectable treatments with Dr. Nodwell, you can expect thoughtfully customized results that enhance your natural features while addressing specific aging concerns. While each person's outcome varies based on their unique anatomy and treatment plan, most patients experience significant improvement that preserves their natural expressions and facial character.

Injectable treatments typically provide subtle yet noticeable enhancement without the "overdone" appearance that can occur with less experienced providers. Most people will simply notice that you look refreshed, well-rested, or somehow more vibrant without being able to identify exactly what has changed.

  • Neuromodulator treatments create smooth, natural-looking improvement in dynamic expression lines while preserving your ability to show emotion. Your forehead will appear smoother, the vertical "11" lines between your brows will soften, and crow's feet will be less pronounced during expressions—all while maintaining natural movement and avoiding a frozen appearance.
  • Dermal filler treatments restore volume and structure where time has created hollows or depressions. The results include improved facial contours, softened facial lines, and restored youthful fullness in areas that have lost volume. When performed with artistic vision, these enhancements create balanced, harmonious improvement throughout your face.
  • Biostimulator treatments produce gradual, progressive enhancement as your body generates new collagen in response to treatment. The results continue developing for months, with improved skin quality, subtle lifting, and enhanced facial structure that looks entirely natural.

While injectable results are temporary, establishing a consistent treatment schedule helps maintain continuous improvement. Neuromodulators typically last three to four months, most hyaluronic acid fillers provide six to 18 months of enhancement depending on the specific product and treatment area, and biostimulators can deliver results lasting up to two years.

Many patients find that regular maintenance treatments actually reduce the amount of product needed over time. As muscles become conditioned with repeated neuromodulator treatments, they often require less frequent intervention to maintain results. Similarly, collagen stimulation from certain fillers and biostimulators can create lasting structural improvements that enhance long-term outcomes.

How Much Do Injectable Treatments Cost?

At Nodwell Plastic Surgery, our approach focuses on comprehensive facial enhancement rather than isolated treatment of single lines or areas.

Injectable treatment costs vary based on the products used, the number of areas treated, and the complexity of your personalized treatment plan. While some practices price treatments by unit or syringe, Dr. Nodwell typically develops comprehensive treatment strategies that address multiple concerns for balanced, natural-looking enhancement throughout your face.

Our global approach to facial rejuvenation often includes a combination of different injectable types strategically placed to create harmonious improvement. These customized treatment plans typically range from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of treatment needed to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Rather than offering isolated "spot treatments" that can create imbalanced results, Dr. Nodwell's comprehensive approach ensures proportionate enhancement that preserves your natural facial harmony. This philosophy reflects our commitment to creating results that look completely natural and balanced from every angle.

While cost is an important consideration, choosing the right provider for your injectable treatments should be your primary focus. Dr. Nodwell's advanced knowledge of facial anatomy, artistic vision, and technical precision ensures you receive exceptional value for your investment through safe, beautiful, natural-looking results.

What Should I Expect During Injectable Treatment Recovery?

Unlike surgical procedures that require extensive downtime, injectable treatments typically allow you to return to most normal activities almost immediately. Understanding the general recovery timeline helps you plan appropriately and maximize your results.

Frist Few Hours

Immediately after treatment, you may notice some redness, tiny bumps, or minor swelling at injection sites. These normal reactions typically subside within 30-60 minutes to a few hours. Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas to prevent displacing the product or increasing swelling.

Frist Few Hours

First 24-48 Hours

While you can resume most normal activities right away, certain precautions enhance your results. It's generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure (including saunas, hot showers, or sunbathing), and significant alcohol consumption during this period. These activities increase blood flow and might affect your results or increase bruising.

First 24-48 Hours

3-7 Days

Most visible signs of treatment continue to diminish. Some injectable types begin showing their effects during this period, while others may take longer to fully develop. Minor bruising might still be present but should be fading and can typically be covered with makeup if needed.

3-7 Days

After 2 Weeks

For most injectable treatments, this represents the point when your results have settled and refined. Any residual swelling has typically resolved, and the full effects of your treatment are visible. This is an ideal time for any follow-up assessment with Dr. Nodwell to evaluate your results.

Hear from Dr. Nodwell's Patients

I started seeing Dr. Nodwell around 4 years ago, for baby botox. He listened to what I was looking to achieve - a natural refreshed look - and took the time to walk me through what would work best for me, the process, and he made me feel extremely comfortable. I have always been incredibly happy with my botox results!Then, in 2019 we did a second consult for an abdominoplasty! I have two children, was “all belly” and my former 21” waist was stretched beyond natural repair. I am petite and athletic, but the harder I worked out, the worse my abdomen would look which was incredibly frustrating. I had already grown to know and trust Dr. Nodwell through my botox appointments, which really helped me make the decision to finally proceed with my abdominoplasty after 15 years of dreaming about it. I also had him remove a bony growth on my forehead while I was under.Long story short, my only regret is not proceeding with the abdominoplasty sooner, I am absolutely thrilled with my results, and Dr. Nodwell and his staff were a dream through it all.

I had an appointment at The Ottawa Clinic today with Dr. Nodwell for lip filler. Going to a plastic surgeon for a basic procedure such as lip filler you expect top notch results, and that’s exactly what I got. Professional, kind, friendly service, and perfect results. I appreciated Dr.Nodwell taking a thorough look into my history (scar tissue on lips) to ensure the best and safest plan. Professional and experienced technique resulted in bruise/swelling free lips and perfect results. Thank you very much :)
