Which Injectable is Right For You?
Getting work done" is no longer the secret it once was. In fact, if you're not already exploring the world of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, you might be one of the last among your friends to do so. The stigma surrounding cosmetic enhancements has significantly diminished as more and more people are openly embracing these treatments to maintain a youthful appearance. The advances in technology have made it easier than ever to enhance your natural beauty without the need for invasive surgery.
​
As we age, the signs of time inevitably begin to make their mark. Perhaps you've noticed fine lines and wrinkles forming around your eyes or mouth, a slight hollowing in your cheeks, or skin that doesn’t seem as firm as it once was. While aging is a natural process, that doesn’t mean you have to simply accept it without doing anything about it.
​
In the past, options for combating the visible effects of aging were limited, often requiring invasive surgical procedures with significant downtime. But today, thanks to a variety of advanced non-surgical cosmetic treatments, you can effectively reduce the signs of aging and refresh your appearance with minimal interruption to your daily life.
The question then becomes: which injectable treatment is right for you? With a wide array of products designed to address different concerns, it can be challenging to know where to start. Injectable treatments are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you're looking to smooth out wrinkles, restore lost volume, or tighten sagging skin.
TMJ Pain
TMJ disorder is the inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It’s the joint that allows your jaw to open and close. Unfortunately, it’s very sensitive and prone to inflammation. In some cases, chronic inflammation can make it difficult to eat, speak, and even just sleep and function without pain.
About Wrinkle Reducing Injections
Noticeable Wrinkle Smoothing with No Downtime
​
This is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of lines caused by expression. It works by blocking nerve impulses directly to the injected muscles. With real, noticeable results, no surgery, and no recovery time it is a perfect choice for many patients.
​
The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. These products have been proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and are capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
​
Reasons for Considering an Injection Treatment:
-
Excessive facial wrinkles.
-
Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead.
-
Small wrinkles or “crow’s feet” around your eyes.
-
A vertical “frown line” between your eyebrows.

About Dermal Fillers
Most signs of aging in the face—wrinkles, lines, and crow’s feet—can be reversed by targeting volume in specific areas. Dermal fillers, also called injectable fillers and soft-tissue fillers, are aesthetic products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help add volume and shape a natural, youthful facial appearance. Only licensed physicians, physician assistants, and nurses can perform dermal filler injections in the US.
​
Dermal fillers are safe and convenient. They’re made with a base ingredient of hyaluronic acid (HA), collagen, or some type of biosynthetic polymer—all naturally occurring substances. They’re not permanent, but some will produce results that last more than a year.
​
Dermal fillers are used to add volume. They help the body deliver nutrients to the skin, which also helps skin retain moisture. With dermal fillers, we can restore softness and smooth out things like:
-
Wrinkles
-
Cheek depressions
-
Deep lines from the nose to the mouth that show up as you get older
-
Acne scars
-
Frown lines
-
Scarring
-
Worry lines
-
Crow’s feet
-
Marionette lines
-
Lip borders

About Masseters Injection
Stop teeth clenching and grinding while slimming your face!​
​
Wide jaws, pain, and migraines are unnecessary - Dr. Mularkey at Point Meadows Dentistry may have the treatment you’re looking for with the Masseters treatment. This procedure is a multi-tasker, from non-surgical jawline slimming to drug-free pain relief.
​
Masseter Treatment is frequently used to treat two types of concerns.
-
Patients who complain of “grinding my teeth” (Bruxism-TMJ). Patients usually opt for this treatment when other solutions are ineffective in controlling the aches, pain, and associated headaches due to grinding their teeth. TMD (temporomandibular disorder) can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement.
-
Jawline injections help to decrease the size. Most individuals with large muscles clench their teeth at night (unaware sometimes), chew gum excessively, or are weight lifters- deeming this treatment ideal.
​
Masseter injections make the surgical option less popular, as people tend to opt for the decision that doesn’t require undergoing the knife! A large muscle may require a few jawline injection sessions; moreover, it depends on the muscle size as the treatment differs from person to person
​
If you thought this was a time-consuming process, including a plethora of consultations, and strenuous hours of treatment. Don’t worry! A masseter session takes less than half an hour, including the consultation typically. This significantly reduces the time frame and adds convenience to the patient. Now, at Point Meadows Dentistry in Jacksonville, FL we can slim your jaw and ease pain without the need for invasive surgery.

About Kybella®
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.
​
HOW KYBELLA® WORKS
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
​
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH KYBELLA®
Before starting treatment, your healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, your specialist will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals.
​
WILL I NEED TIME TO RECOVER?
Is there a recovery period following Kybella® treatment? After the procedure, it's common to experience swelling, bruising, or numbness beneath your chin. It's essential to communicate any concerns to your healthcare provider, particularly if you notice issues like an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, or any problems at the injection site, such as bruising, hair loss, open sores (ulcers), or tissue cell death (necrosis). Should you observe open sores or drainage in the treated area, promptly contact your healthcare provider.
​
HOW IS KYBELLA® ADMINISTERED?
Kybella® is exclusively administered by a healthcare specialist who has received training in its application. During each session, you'll undergo a series of small injections beneath your chin, typically lasting around 15 to 20 minutes. The precise quantity of injections will be tailored to your specific submental fat level and the desired outcome you seek for your profile.
​
KYBELLA® MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF:
Kybella could be a suitable option if you're troubled by submental fullness, commonly called a double chin, and it affects your self-confidence or appearance, but you prefer a non-surgical solution even though you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.
​
WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY DOCTOR BEFORE TREATMENT?
Before receiving KYBELLA®, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
-
Have had or plan to have surgery on your face, neck, or chin
-
Have had cosmetic treatments on your face, neck, or chin
-
Have had or have medical conditions in or near the neck area
-
Have had or have trouble swallowing
-
Have bleeding problems
-
Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if KYBELLA® will harm your unborn baby)
-
Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed (it is not known if KYBELLA® passes into your breast milk)
-
Are taking any medications, especially blood thinners
