As we age, our skin gradually loses elasticity, collagen production slows, and facial muscles create dynamic wrinkles that deepen over time. This natural aging process can lead to sagging skin, volume loss, and fine lines that make us look older than we feel. Fortunately, non-surgical treatments like BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Restylane® can help restore a youthful, refreshed appearance. At Halvorson Plastic Surgery in Asheville, we offer these injectable solutions to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and enhance facial contours with minimal downtime.
What Are BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Restylane®?
These industry-leading injectable treatments address a variety of aesthetic concerns, from forehead lines to volume loss in the cheeks and lips.
BOTOX® and Dysport®
Neurotoxins that relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming.
Restylane® Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers that restore volume, sculpt facial features, and soften lines.
Common Areas Treated with Injectables:
Forehead Wrinkles
Smooth deep lines that develop from repetitive facial expressions.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
Soften the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows.

Liquid Facelift: A Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Option
A liquid facelift combines neuromodulators like BOTOX® and Dysport® with dermal fillers like Restylane® to create a subtle yet noticeable lift and restore youthful contours. This innovative procedure can address wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and sagging skin without the need for invasive surgery. Patients often choose a liquid facelift to:
- Smooth forehead lines and crow’s feet
- Restore volume to the cheeks and under-eye hollows
- Lift sagging skin along the jawline
- Enhance lip fullness and definition
