Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins are a popular, minimally invasive treatment used in cosmetic procedures to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles from repeated expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. Common neurotoxins used in cosmetic treatments include Botox, Dysport, Daxxify and Jeuveau.
These injectable treatments block the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting. As a result, the skin over these muscles smooths out, leading to a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Neurotoxins are typically used to treat areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
The effects of neurotoxins are temporary, lasting between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual and the treatment area. Regular maintenance injections can help maintain the desired look. Neurotoxin treatments are quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes, and involve minimal downtime, making them a convenient option for those seeking subtle yet noticeable improvements in their appearance.

Soft Tissue Fillers
Soft tissue fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are made from a variety of materials, with hyaluronic acid being one of the most common. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps keep it hydrated and plump.
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and volume, which can lead to sagging, wrinkles, and hollow areas. Soft tissue fillers address these concerns by adding volume to specific areas of the face, resulting in a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Fillers can be used to enhance lips, restore fullness to the cheeks, soften nasolabial folds (smile lines), and contour the jawline or chin.
The results from soft tissue fillers are immediate and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Because the body naturally absorbs the filler over time, periodic maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain optimal results.
At Mafi Plastic Surgery, our Aesthetic NP injector specializes in creating natural, balanced results with soft tissue fillers, ensuring that each treatment enhances your unique facial features while maintaining a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Sculptra
Sculptra Aesthetic® is an injectable implant that contains microparticles of L-Poly-Lactic Acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic polymer from the alpha hydroxy acid family.
The result of Sculptra is to promote collagen and elastin production for over two years as current studies reflect. The promotion of collagen and elastin production leads to an overall youthful glow and volumization of the skin while also diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles at rest and during dynamic movement. This injectable treatment is one that is gradual with yielding results, and is often referred to as the injectable treatment to “age you in reverse.”
At Mafi Plastic Surgery, our Aesthetic NP injector offers Sculptra Aesthetic injectable treatments, customizing each treatment to provide your best result.
