Botox® Cosmetic & Injectable Treatments
Cosmetic injectable treatments can give you many of the same benefits that surgical enhancement procedures can, only with more subtle results and no extensive recovery time required. Wrinkles and fine lines, creases between the nose and mouth, facial folds, and other signs of age can be smoothed out and rejuvenated with these popular non-surgical treatments. Plus, some injectable procedures can even recontour facial features such as the lips and cheeks, adding volume and a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Cosmetic injectable procedures typically take about 15 to 30 minutes at Feel Beautiful Aesthetic Rx in Carlsbad. Injected with an ultra-fine needle, the treatment areas can be numbed before the procedure in order to make you as comfortable as possible. There is often no downtime necessary after cosmetic injectable treatments, and many patients can go right back to normal daily routines following the procedure.
Here are some examples of the types of non-surgical treatments we offer at our Feel Beautiful Aesthetic Rx in Carlsbad:
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic enhancement treatment. BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable solution designed to reduce the appearance of dynamic creases along the face (creases and lines that occur with facial expressions). This commonly performed treatment can smooth out dynamic wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet with results that can last three to six months, and even longer with occasional follow-up treatment.
When properly injected by professionals such as Dr. Laverson or our registered nurse, Daiquiri, you will still be able to express yourself. Most patients acknowledge they feel (and appear) more relaxed, youthful, pleasant, and energetic.

Dysport®
Dysport® is another injectable enhancement treatment that can effectively diminish the appearance of dynamic creases and fine lines in the face. Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport® temporarily prevents underlying facial muscles from contracting in the area targeted for treatment, thereby providing a smoother, more youthful and refreshed appearance. Results from Dysport® can last from three to six months and be maintained with occasional “touch-up” treatments.
Injectable Dermal Fillers
The other category of anti-aging injectable treatments is contour and wrinkle fillers. These products can be effective at rejuvenating the appearance of static creases – wrinkles and fine lines that are present in facial features even when the face is at rest and expressions are not being animated. Injectable dermal fillers can smooth out deep wrinkles and folds and smooth out the skin surface, as well as add volume to facial features such as the lips and cheeks for improved contours. Some fillers can also be very effective at reducing the appearance of depressed scars. Injectable dermal fillers are typically quick, in-office procedures – available here at Dr. Laverson’s office in Encinitas, San Diego or with Daiquiri, our registered nurse and professional skin care technician, at Feel Beautiful Aesthetic Rx in Carlsbad.
Popular products in this category include injectables composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the human body and therefore requires no allergy testing. Injectable dermal fillers available at Feel Beautiful include:
Restylane®
Restylane® injections can be very effective at rejuvenating nasolabial folds (lines and creases that form between the nose and mouth). Restylane® is also useful for filling in wrinkles and deep lines along the face, as well as adding contour to facial features. Effects of Restylane® often last at least six months, and even up to a year in some patients. “Touch-up” treatments can keep the results going even longer.
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® is a dermal filler that is rapidly gaining in popularity as an effective treatment for patients who experience deep wrinkles in the face and hollowness in the cheeks. This injectable is also often used for lip augmentation, giving the lips a more youthful and sensual contour. Results from JUVÉDERM® have been known to last from six to nine months or more. Follow-up JUVÉDERM® treatments can keep the effects going for an even longer period.
Perlane®
Perlane® injections are often beneficial for those who would like to smooth out lines between the nose and mouth or reduce the appearance of facial scarring and depressions. This treatment can also be effective for adding volume to lips and as a dermal filler for facial wrinkling. Results from Perlane® can last at least six months, and occasional “touch-up” treatments can maintain the effects.
Radiesse™
Wrinkles between the nose and mouth, as well as cheeks that have lost volume, can be rejuvenated with Radiesse™ treatment. This injectable filler not only works to smooth out wrinkles and creases and add fullness to facial features, Radiesse™ actually stimulates the production of your body’s own collagen to help with the replenishment of healthy skin. The results from Radiesse™ can last from one to two years, and be maintained with follow-up treatment.
Feel Beautiful also offers fat grafting for filling deeper facial creases and hollows. This innovative treatment takes fat cells taken from one’s own body and transfers them to the areas targeted for rejuvenation. Many patients have experienced extraordinarily long-lasting results from fat grafting treatment.
Laser and Light-Based Skin Rejuvenation
At Feel Beautiful Aesthetic Rx, our aesthetic skin renewal center and medispa in Carlsbad, California, Dr. Laverson and his registered nurse Daiquiri Rankin offer a number of non-surgical and minimally-invasive laser procedures that can help you significantly rejuvenate your skin and address a range of common conditions. Among our procedures, we offer laser skin resurfacing that can improve signs of wrinkling, sun damage, age spots, and skin discoloration. Laser resurfacing eliminates outer layers of damaged skin and helps stimulate the growth of healthier, smoother skin layers. Plus, we offer treatments that can permanently reduce areas of undesired hair in virtually any body area, as well as light-based photo-rejuvenation treatment such as photodynamic therapy and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. We can even treat spider veins with laser procedures designed to eliminate their appearance and any discomfort they may be causing. And, Dr. Laverson and Daiquiri now offer Skin Tyte®, an innovative technique that can improve skin laxity and tighten areas of the face, neck, and body.
