Injectables — botulinum toxin and dermal fillers
Last reviewed
Subtle, considered injectables — for people who don’t want to look “done”.
Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers at SkinWise are conservative and anatomy-led — frown lines, crow's feet, masseter reduction, lip hydration and cheek volume. Doses and product are decided on examination, with two-week reviews built into the plan. No frozen look, and no per-unit pricing without a consult.
The goal at SkinWise is never a face that looks different. It is a face that looks like itself — rested, less tired, with the lines that bother you softened, not erased.
Dr Khushboo’s injectable philosophy is conservative: small, planned doses; symmetrical, anatomy-respecting placement; honest conversations about what botulinum toxin and dermal fillers can and cannot do.
We treat both functional concerns (jaw clenching, gummy smile, neck bands) and aesthetic ones (frown lines, crow’s feet, lip hydration, under-eye hollows, mid-face volume) — always within what looks natural for your face.
Good for:
- Frown lines (glabella) and forehead lines that bother you
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Masseter reduction for clenching, grinding or a square-jaw concern
- Under-eye hollows — tear-trough filler in carefully selected patients only
- Lip hydration or subtle definition
- Cheek volume restoration
- Skin boosters — PRP, polynucleotides, hyaluronic-acid microdroplets
Not the right fit if:
- You want dramatic structural change — we’ll discuss honestly and decline if it’s not the right call
- You have an active skin infection in the area
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding — we postpone
How we approach injectables
2. Map the muscles and volumes that actually drive the concern
Most lines come from surprisingly few targeted areas. Treating fewer areas, well, looks better than treating many.
3. Only well-established, regulated products
FDA-approved botulinum toxin brands and hyaluronic-acid fillers. No permanent fillers, no unregulated products.
4. Conservative initial dose, review at 2 weeks
We can always add more — we cannot take it back. Top-ups, if needed, are done at the 2-week review.
What to expect
Per appointment
20–40 minutes in clinic.
Comfort
Tiny needle, topical numbing where useful. Most patients describe it as quick and easily tolerated.
Botox results
Begin at day 3, full effect at day 14, lasts 3–4 months.
Filler results
Immediate volume; mild swelling for 2–3 days; full settling at 2 weeks; lasts 6–18 months depending on product and area.
Bruising
Mild bruising is possible — plan injectables 2 weeks before any major event, not the same week.
Frequently asked questions
Will people notice I’ve had something done?
With our doses, almost never — they’ll notice you look rested. The “frozen” look is a dose and technique choice, not an inevitable outcome.
How long does Botox last?
3–4 months for most people. The muscle gradually returns to its previous strength; you decide whether to top up.
Are fillers safe?
Hyaluronic-acid fillers are well-studied and reversible with hyaluronidase if needed. We do not use permanent fillers.
Tear-trough filler — yes or no?
Sometimes yes, often no. It is the riskiest area for puffiness and migration. We say no more often than yes, and proceed only in well-selected anatomy.
Can I exercise after Botox?
Light walking, yes. Heavy workouts and saunas, wait 24 hours. Avoid massaging the area for at least 4 hours.
