Injectables
SMD offers advanced approaches to non-surgical rejuvenation, which include injectable fillers and neuromodulators, to create youthful and natural results for the face, neck, and décolletage.
Our providers combine their sharp scientific knowledge with an artistic eye to administer injectables in novel ways. A skilled hand and a high level of artistry is required to achieve a beautiful and meaningful outcome.
The goal is to work with you to develop a comprehensive and customized treatment plan using the latest non-invasive technologies and procedures, in a friendly and approachable environment, offering expert care in the safest of environments.
Our Injectables Include:
- A non-toxic, hyaluronic acid (a naturally-occurring, skin carbohydrate matrix) filler that absorbs water and acts like a sponge to plump wrinkles, support sunken areas and recreate lost volume.
Belotero is one of the lightest of the HA fillers, making it an excellent option for subtly filling superficial lines that are close to the skin's surface.
Topical numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to injection to provide maximal comfort.
Commonly treated areas include fine lines around the lips and at the corners of the mouth.
There is no major downtime associated with the procedure, although temporary redness, swelling or bruising may occur, and, while everyone experiences different results, one injection typically lasts 4-6 months. - These injectable neuromodulators work to relax facial muscles and soften the wrinkles and fine lines formed by making repeated facial expressions.
Commonly treated areas include frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet, smoker's lip lines, neck bands and more.
The effect, which lasts 3-4 months, typically takes between 3-7 days to develop with maximum results presenting by day 14. View Before & After Gallery

Sculptra | SmoothenReshapeEraseMaintain
Made from poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic comprised of our naturally occurring lactic acid, Sculptra gradually induces collagen production to help volumize facial contours, hollows and grooves.
Because Sculptra is a bio-stimulatory and not an immediate filler, it takes some time to achieve visible results -- but once you do, they last longer than those achieved with other fillers. Sculptra actually stimulates your body to make more of its own natural filler--collagen!
Sculptra is combined with sterile water and lidocaine anesthetic at the time of treatment, therefore there is minimal discomfort.
Sculptra is injected over several sessions and typically takes 6-12 weeks to yield results, which last 2+ years. There is no major downtime associated with the treatment, although redness or bruising at the injection site may occur.- Skinvive by Juvederm is a modified hyaluronic acid gel that's injected as microdroplets within the dermal layer below the surface of the skin, increasing hydration to improve skin smoothness.
