At Plastic Surgeons of Akron, we offer an extensive number of Non-Surgical Injectable options. These products are designed to help patients resolve issues that are not at the point where surgery is necessary.
Injectables and Fillers are intended for the face and help reduce fine facial lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, hollow and sunken areas, thin lips and double chin. These products are administered in the comfort of our office and result in little or no down time, typically allowing patients to return to work and their daily activities immediately.
Neurotoxoin like Botox, Dysport or Xeomin is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a natural botulinum toxin protein to relax expressive facial muscles, leaving the skin smooth and free of wrinkles. Receiving injections is a fast and reliable way to rejuvenate the skin’s appearance and look years younger without going under the knife.
We relax dominant frown muscles and diminish the appearance of wrinkles by injecting a protein into areas of the face that are bothering a patient due to the presence of expression lines.
Most commonly, these occur as vertical creases between the brows (11 lines), on the outer corners of the eyes (crow’s feet), and horizontal forehead lines (dynamic forehead wrinkles). Many patients, both male & female, notice fine lines and wrinkles beginning to form around age 30. A lifetime of repeated facial expressions will eventually etch these lines deep into the skin. Neurotoxin may help slow the aging process by forcing the underlying muscle to reduce movement. When the facial muscles are at rest thanks to the effects the skin above the muscle remains smooth. Most neurotoxin lasts between 3-6 months in most patients.
While neurotoxin can help prevent lines from forming or getting deeper, filler can help address the lines that already exist in patients. Wrinkles like "laugh lines," "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds), or "marionette lines" (oral commissures) can be filled with the right amount and placement. With filler, your fabulous results can last up to a year! We offer many different types of filler, including: Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA Collection.
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for excess submental fat, more commonly referred to as a double chin. This non-invasive treatment consists of a series of injections containing deoxycholic acid - a substance naturally found in the body that breaks down dietary fat.
Our Akron Kybella patients see results in as little as two to four treatments, with a maximum of six treatments being performed. Best of all, since Kybella destroys the fat cells at fault for that extra bulge, once you achieve your desired results there is no need for retreatment - results are permanent!

The team of experts at Plastic Surgeons of Akron is led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Pedersen, and we are excited to help our patients achieve their aesthetic goals. We offer DAXXIFY in Akron at our comfortable and well-appointed office for those who are seeking minimally invasive wrinkle treatment.
DAXXIFY is a cosmetic injectable used to treat frown lines or "11" lines in between the eyebrows. This serum is a type of neuromodulator made with botulism toxin, specifically daxibotulinumtoxin A, that treats wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the very small facial muscles. By "freezing" the muscles that are used to furrow the brows and create forehead wrinkles, DAXXIFY prevents these dynamic lines from appearing. Thanks to the addition of peptides in the serum, which provide stability, DAXXIFY is longer lasting than other similar neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin.
With advanced knowledge of the facial musculature and many years of experience with cosmetic injectables, our providers skillfully administers just the right amount of Botox into the correct muscles to achieve the desired effect.
The entire procedure takes just a few minutes to perform. Afterward, patients enjoy beautifully youthful, wrinkle-free skin with diminished eyebrow furrows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. The treatment is precisely tailored to your individual needs.
These two are both injectable neuromodulators made with botulinum toxin type A that are FDA-approved to smooth frown lines. While Botox can take three to five days to see onset and results last three to four months, DAXXIFY results can be seen in as few as one to two days and last for up to nine months. In addition, DAXXIFY contains no human or animal byproducts, such as human serum albumin, and is a vegan product.
Botox is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a natural botulinum toxin protein to relax expressive facial muscles, leaving the skin smooth and free of wrinkles. Receiving Botox injections is a fast and reliable way to rejuvenate the skin’s appearance and look years younger without going under the knife. The FDA approved Botox on April 15, 2002, as a temporary cosmetic injection designed to treat moderate or severe frown lines in adult patients in the United States.
Relax dominant frown muscles and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Botox for wrinkles works by injecting a protein into areas of the face that are bothering a patient due to the presence of expression lines.

Botox may help slow the aging process by forcing the underlying muscle to reduce movement. When the facial muscles are at rest thanks to the effects of Botox, the skin above the muscle remains smooth. Botox is the world’s most popular way to reduce facial wrinkles, with effects lasting 3-6 months in most patients.

Botox has long-lasting results with an average duration of 3-6 months in the majority of patients. The effects of the Botox Akron plastic surgeon injects only take a few days to work. Just a few days after treatment, most patients begin to notice a reduction in facial muscle movement and overall smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin at the injection site. Studies indicate that the full results of treatment are typically visible within 10-14 days post-injection. Unlike facial plastic surgery, Botox provides long term, but temporary, results.
The beauty of Botox is it is very affordable in comparison to cosmetic facial surgery. Additionally, there is no downtime and pain is quite minimal. Most patients report that Botox injections are surprisingly fast, easy, and well-tolerated.
As the product gradually wears off at the 3 to 6-month mark, the facial muscles will resume normal movement. Wrinkles and lines will slowly begin to reappear during this time. To maintain the youthful results of treatment, it is recommended to come in for a follow-up, or “top off” in order to continue enjoying young-looking skin that is free of pesky wrinkles and expression lines. While there is no harm in discontinuing Botox use, each successive treatment builds upon the results of the last when performed prior to the product wearing off entirely. This may potentially extend the time between Botox injections, and some patients may eventually need less Botox to get the same effect over time.
There is no Botox recovery time to speak of. Most patients return to professional and social duties immediately after treatment. Redness at the injection site typically diminishes in less than one hour after treatment. Temporary swelling is also a common reaction. The vast majority of patients will notice a reduction in swelling within an hour or so after treatment. Redness and swelling are common reactions to cosmetic injectables and are rarely a cause of concern.
Botox was FDA approved for cosmetic use in 2002 after years of research and clinical trials in the United States. Side effects of Botox are rare but have been reported. Adverse risks, such as allergic reaction or cosmetic defects such as temporary drooping eyelids, are uncommon in the hands of an experienced Botox injector. This does not preclude all risks, however.
