Non-Surgical Injectables in San Mateo, CA

What Are Non-Surgical Injectables?

Non-surgical injectables are a popular option for patients seeking facial rejuvenation without surgery. These treatments can address fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and other signs of aging with minimal downtime. At our San Mateo office, we offer a personalized approach to injectable treatments that aligns with your anatomy, goals, and stage of life.

While injectables can offer significant improvement in facial aesthetics, they are not a substitute for surgical procedures. However, for the right patient, they can serve as an excellent adjunct or alternative depending on individual needs and goals. What is possible varies from person to person, which is why a thorough consultation is essential.

Neuromodulators: Jeuveau & Daxxify

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated expressions like frowning or squinting. At our San Mateo practice, Elite Transformations, Dr. Fisher focuses on two advanced neuromodulators: Jeuveau and Daxxify.

• Jeuveau, often called “Newtox,” is FDA-approved for aesthetic use and is designed specifically for cosmetic wrinkle reduction.
• Daxxify is a longer-lasting neuromodulator known for its potential to maintain smoother skin with fewer treatments per year.

These treatments are commonly used to soften:

• Glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Bunny lines (on the nose)
• Perioral lines (fine lines around the lips)

Each treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy and expression patterns to help you achieve natural-looking results — never frozen or overdone. A consultation allows Dr. Fisher to determine which neuromodulator is best suited to your needs.

Soft Tissue Enhancement with HA Injectables

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are gel-based injectables used to restore volume, contour facial features, and smooth deeper facial lines. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, making it a well-tolerated and effective option for soft tissue enhancement.

Common treatment areas include:

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines (lines around the mouth)
• Lips (for volume or definition)
• Cheeks and midface (to restore youthful contours)
• Chin and jawline (to refine and balance the profile)
• Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)

HA fillers can provide subtle or significant enhancement depending on your goals and anatomy. Results are temporary and maintenance varies by product type and area treated. Some products last longer than others and have different properties to treat different areas, others are suited for general rejuvenation.

Biostimulatory Injectables

In addition to HA fillers, some patients may benefit from biostimulatory injectables. These products stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time, gradually improving skin texture, firmness, and volume. This type of injectable is ideal for patients looking for longer-term enhancement and subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Unlike immediate-fill products, biostimulatory treatments typically require a series of sessions and reveal progressive improvement over several months.

Why a Consultation Matters

Injectables are not one-size-fits-all. Your facial structure, skin condition, life stage, and aesthetic goals all play a role in determining which treatment—or combination—is right for you. A personalized consultation ensures your plan is safe, strategic, and aligned with your expectations.

Whether you’re exploring injectables for the first time or seeking a more refined treatment approach, we’ll guide you through the options to help you feel confident and informed.
