Want to Look Refreshed Without Looking Overdone? Injectables Can Help
Injectables can soften expression lines, restore facial volume, and enhance natural features without changing what makes you look like yourself.
At Southside Medical & Laser Center, we provide FDA approved injectables in Greenville, with a licensed physician on site. Every face is different, so every cosmetic treatment begins with a consultation.
We listen to what you would like to improve, review your health history, evaluate your facial anatomy, and explain which injectables may be appropriate.
We serve patients throughout Greenville and the surrounding Upstate South Carolina area. Free consultations are available. Call us at (864) 288-2006 to schedule yours.
How Do Injectables Work?
Injectables are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments placed beneath or within the skin to address wrinkles, facial movement, lost volume, or contour. The two main categories are neuromodulators and dermal fillers.
Neuromodulators temporarily reduce the muscle activity that creates expression lines. Dermal fillers add support and volume beneath the skin. These treatments work differently, and some patients benefit from one while others may benefit from a carefully planned combination.
At Southside Medical & Laser Center, our estheticians select products and treatment areas based on your facial structure, skin condition, goals, and medical history.
Your Consultation Comes First
Before receiving injectables, you will meet with a member of our cosmetic team to discuss:
- The areas that concern you
- The result you hope to achieve
- Previous cosmetic treatments
- Current medications and supplements
- Allergies and relevant medical conditions
- Upcoming events or travel
- Your preferred treatment timeline and budget
We also explain what injectables can and cannot accomplish. Some concerns respond well to neuromodulators, while others are caused by volume loss and may respond better to dermal fillers. If another treatment would be more appropriate, we will say so.
We Evaluate Facial Movement and Structure
Natural-looking results depend on more than placing a product into a wrinkle. One of our estheticians will study how your face moves, where volume has changed, and how each feature relates to the rest of your face.
For neuromodulator treatments, we may ask you to smile, frown, raise your eyebrows, or squint. This helps us identify the muscles creating dynamic lines.
For filler treatments, we evaluate facial balance, soft-tissue support, symmetry, and the areas where age-related volume loss is most visible. This step helps us use injectables strategically instead of simply adding product wherever a line appears.
Treatment Is Performed Carefully
Most injectable appointments are relatively brief. Neuromodulator sessions commonly take about 15 to 30 minutes, while filler appointments may take longer depending on the number of areas treated.
We use fine needles or other appropriate techniques and may apply topical numbing when needed. Most patients describe neuromodulator injections as a brief pinch.
Filler treatments may feel more noticeable in sensitive areas, particularly the lips, but comfort measures are available.
You Receive Clear Aftercare Instructions
After your appointment, we explain what to expect and how to care for the treated area. Mild redness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising may occur and usually improves over the following days.
Your instructions may include avoiding strenuous exercise, pressure on the treated area, excessive heat, or certain activities for a short period.
Recommendations vary depending on the product and treatment area, so follow the instructions provided at your visit.
What Types of Injectables Does Southside Medical & Laser Center Offer?
Southside Medical & Laser Center offers neuromodulator injections and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Each option addresses different signs of aging and facial concerns:
Neuromodulator Injectables With Dysport
These injectables are commonly used for expression lines that become visible when you smile, frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows. The goal is to soften unwanted lines while preserving natural facial expression.
Common Dysport Treatment Areas
Dysport may be used to address:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- A subtle brow lift
- Bunny lines across the nose
- Vertical lip lines
- A lip flip
- Chin dimpling
- Platysmal neck bands
When Do Dysport Results Appear?
Some of our patients begin noticing changes within a few days. The full effect may take longer to develop. Results often last several months, although duration varies by treatment area, dose, metabolism, and individual response.
Neuromodulator injectables are temporary. Maintenance appointments are needed if you want to preserve the effect over time. During your consultation one of our estheticians will map out touch up appointments that fits your schedule and needs.
Will Dysport Make My Face Look Frozen?
A frozen appearance is not the goal. Natural results depend on careful product selection, appropriate dosing, and precise placement.
At Southside Medical & Laser Center, we plan hyper-personalized treatment around your facial movement. The objective is to soften prominent lines while allowing you to continue looking expressive and recognizable.
Restylane Dermal Filler Injectables
Facial volume changes with age as collagen, elastin, bone support, and facial fat compartments gradually shift. This can contribute to thinner lips, flatter cheeks, deeper folds, hollowing, or reduced jawline definition.
Restylane is an injectable family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that helps attract and retain moisture and to add targeted volume, support, or contour beneath the skin.
Dermal filler injectables do not relax facial muscles, they address areas where structure or fullness has diminished.
Common Restylane Treatment Areas
Depending on the specific product and your personalized treatment plan, Restylane may be used for:
- Lip enhancement and border definition
- Cheek volume and lift
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Under-eye hollowing
- Jawline contour
- Chin definition
- Temple volume loss
Not every filler is appropriate for every area. A esthetician from our cosmetic team will select the product and placement technique based on the treatment site and your desired outcome.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The duration of filler injectables varies according to the product, area treated, amount used, facial movement, and individual metabolism.
Lip filler often wears down sooner because the mouth moves frequently. Fillers placed in the cheeks or jawline may last longer. During your initial consultation, we will give you a more specific expectation based on the recommended Restylane product and treatment area.
Will Dermal Fillers Look Natural?
Natural-looking filler results come from restraint, facial balance, and a clear understanding of anatomy. More product does not automatically produce a better result.
Southside Medical & Laser Center’s approach is to restore or enhance proportion gradually. We want your features to look balanced from every angle, not visibly “filled.” For first-time patients, a conservative plan may be the best way to achieve a result that feels comfortable and authentic.
Why Choose Southside Medical & Laser Center for Injectables in Greenville?

Frequently Asked Questions About Injectables
Do Injectables Hurt?
Most of our patients describe neuromodulator injections as a brief pinch. Dermal filler treatments may create pressure or stinging, particularly in sensitive areas.
Fine needles, topical numbing, and other comfort measures may be used when appropriate.
Am I a Good Candidate for Injectables?
Many healthy adults may be candidates, but treatment is not appropriate for everyone. We will review your medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, skin condition, previous procedures, and treatment goals.
A consultation is the safest way to determine whether injectables are appropriate for you.
Can I Receive Dysport and Restylane at the Same Appointment?
Some patients receive neuromodulators and dermal fillers during the same visit because the products address different concerns.
The decision depends on the treatment areas, your health history, the total plan, and your comfort level. The estheticians with Southside Medical explain whether combining treatments is appropriate.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Neuromodulator results develop gradually and may begin appearing within several days. Full results can take longer.
Dermal filler results are visible immediately, but swelling can temporarily affect the appearance. The final result is typically evaluated after the treated area settles.
What Should I Avoid Before Treatment?
Certain medications and supplements may increase bruising, but you should not stop a prescribed medication without speaking to the clinician who manages it.
During your consultation with Southside Medical & Laser Center, tell your esthetician about everything you take before receiving injectables. We will give you individualized preparation instructions.
Is There Downtime After Injectables?
Most of our patients resume normal daily activities the same day. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising can occur.
Our cosmetic staff will explain any short-term restrictions based on the specific treatment you receive.
