Cosmetic injectables provide patients with facial anti-aging and rejuvenation without the need for invasive plastic surgery.
From wrinkle relaxers to facial fillers, these cosmetic treatments offer patients with smoother skin by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing youthful features like lips and cheeks by restoring facial volume lost to the ravages of time.
The Laser and Skin Surgery of Indiana is proud to both offer these treatments and also take part in clinical research for various cosmetic injectables, including the original clinical trials for Botox.
Dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxing injectables provide patients with long-term, temporary facial rejuvenation without the need for facial plastic surgery. Botulinum toxin cosmetic injectables smooth out fine lines and wrinkles while dermal fillers restore lost facial volume or give fullness to areas of the face like the lips and cheeks. The result is a more youthful, symmetrical appearance that lasts for several months and up to two years, depending upon the injectables used.
Belotero Balance is a monophase double cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) which is very soft and pliable.

Belotero is also suitable for vertical lip lines in some patients.
Botox Cosmetic is the most commonly performed aesthetic procedure worldwide and in our practice. Botox relaxes facial muscles thereby reducing the tension on the skin that occurs with aging. It is the most requested of all of our cosmetic injectables at the LASSI.
