INJECTABLES AT
SCHUMACHER & BAUER, DDS

What are injectables?

Injectables are FDA approved drugs made up of botulinum toxin A that temporarily block local nerve impulses. As you age, skin loses its elasticity and collagen breaks down. With constant muscle and skin contractions, this causes permanent creases. Injections reduce muscle & skin contractions that cause these creases.

Is it safe?

Botulinum toxin A is an FDA approved drug; it is completely safe when made and administered by a licensed professional.

Am I going to look frozen?

No! When injected correctly, injectables reduce the contractions that cause the deep creases but still gives you the muscle flexibility to look natural.

Who is a good candidate for injectables?

Generally, there are two types of patients who use injectables. Some patients use it for prevention, while others use it to lessen the appearance and minimize the progression of fine lines and wrinkles as they age. It is best for people who are physically healthy, with no history of neuromuscular diseases, and who are not pregnant or nursing.
