Cosmetic Injectable Treatments

An easy way to think of injectable treatments is this: for the lower part of the face, dermal fillers, or wrinkle fillers, are more common and effective; for the upper part, Botulinum-derived products, such as Botox work well. Of course, there are overlaps, but this is an easy, general way to keep it straight.

Wrinkle Treatment

Botulinum-Derived Treatments – These cosmetic treatments involve the injection of a very small amount of this neurotoxin into facial muscles that results in the smoothing or softening of the overlaying skin. Kitagawa Dermatology provides cosmetic treatments using brands such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin.

Dermal Filler Treatments – These cosmetic treatments involve the injection of substances that fill in lines and wrinkles by occupying previously empty space under the skin. Also known as dermal skin fillers or injectable fillers, these wrinkle fillers can be used to augment lips and soften facial creases and wrinkles. They are made of various substances:

– Hyaluronic Acid Filler – Maybe the most popular cosmetic wrinkle filler because of its natural compatibility with the human body. Kitagawa Dermatology provides Restylane brands and Belotero.

– Collagen Stimulator – A less common cosmetic filler developed in laboratories, it provides long-lasting results. Radiesse and Sculptra are brands used by Kitagawa Dermatology.

– Collagen Filler – Results are long-lasting, though many believe that results are more natural-looking.

Be sure to have a personalized consultation to diagnose your specific cosmetic issues and decide the best course of action for you.

Laser Dermatology Treatments

Our cosmetic dermatology center also provides other cosmetic services to patients with skin care issues in Honolulu, including laser resurfacing for treating a variety of dermatological issues. Complications such as wrinkles, skin irregularities, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and more can be treated with these procedures.

They can be quick and easy cosmetic procedures with no downtime or more complex ones requiring several weeks of recovery.

Laser Resurfacing

Severe sun damage, serious acne scarring, over-pigmentation, and stubborn wrinkles are just a few of the serious skin problems that laser resurfacing can address. This cosmetic procedure uses a laser to remove skin fine layer by fine layer, resulting in dramatic changes but requiring less recovery time. Laser resurfacing involves using carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers.
