Injectable Cosmetic Treatments in Wilmington, NC: The Complete Guide to Wave Aesthetics Services

Injectable cosmetic treatments have transformed the way people approach facial rejuvenation. No surgery. No lengthy recovery. No dramatic downtime. Just precise, targeted treatments that smooth wrinkles, restore volume, enhance features, and refresh the overall appearance — with results that look natural because they are built around your own unique facial anatomy.

At Wave Aesthetics in Wilmington, NC our injectable cosmetic treatment menu is one of the most comprehensive available in the region — offering everything from muscle-relaxing neuromodulators and volume-restoring fillers to collagen-stimulating treatments and advanced skin hydration therapies. Whatever your concern — whether it is forehead lines, hollow cheeks, thin lips, tired eyes, or overall skin quality — there is an injectable solution at Wave Aesthetics designed to address it.

This guide covers every injectable cosmetic treatment we offer, the areas each one targets, and how to determine which treatment — or combination of treatments — is right for your goals.

Why Injectable Cosmetic Treatments Are the Most Popular Aesthetic Choice

Injectable cosmetic treatments have become the most requested aesthetic procedures in the United States — and for good reason. Here is why patients across Wilmington and the Cape Fear region are choosing injectables over more invasive alternatives:

• No surgery required — all injectable treatments are performed in-office with no general anesthesia and no surgical incisions

• Minimal to no downtime — most patients return to normal activities immediately or within a day or two

• Natural-looking results — when performed by a skilled injector injectable treatments enhance your natural features rather than changing who you are

• Highly customizable — every injectable treatment plan is tailored to your specific facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals

• Immediate or progressive results — depending on the treatment you can see results immediately or watch them develop naturally over weeks

• Reversible options available — many injectable treatments can be adjusted or reversed if needed

• Preventive as well as corrective — injectable treatments can address existing concerns and prevent new ones from developing

  
  

Our Injectable Cosmetic Treatments at Wave Aesthetics

Botox and Dysport

Botox and Dysport are the most widely used injectable cosmetic treatments in the world — FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines and creases that form from repeated facial expressions — frowning, squinting, smiling, and raising the eyebrows — and deepen over time into permanent features of the face.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients interested in smoothing facial wrinkles and lines caused by muscle movement — particularly those who want to look refreshed and rested without looking frozen or overdone.

Target Areas

• Forehead — horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows

• Between the eyebrows (glabellar lines / 11 lines) — the vertical frown lines that create an angry or tired appearance

• Crow's feet — the fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting

• Brow lift — subtly lifting the eyebrows for a more open, refreshed eye appearance

• Bunny lines — the lines on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching

• Lip lines — fine vertical lines around the mouth

• Chin dimpling — smoothing the pebbled or dimpled appearance of the chin

• Neck bands (platysmal bands) — relaxing the vertical neck cords for a smoother neck profile

• Jawline slimming — reducing the masseter muscle for a softer, slimmer jaw appearance

What to Expect

Results from Botox and Dysport typically appear within 3 to 7 days and last 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance treatments keep results consistent over time.

Daxxify

Daxxify is the newest and longest-lasting FDA-approved neuromodulator available — powered by a unique peptide exchange technology that sets it apart from Botox and Dysport. Daxxify treats the same dynamic wrinkles as other neuromodulators but delivers results that last significantly longer — an average of 6 months with many patients experiencing results extending to 9 months or beyond.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who want the smoothing benefits of a neuromodulator but want to reduce the frequency of their treatments — particularly those frustrated with scheduling Botox or Dysport appointments every 3 to 4 months.

Target Areas

• Forehead lines

• Glabellar lines (11 lines) between the eyebrows

• Crow's feet around the eyes

• Brow lifting

• Bunny lines

• Lip lines

• Chin dimpling

• Neck bands

What to Expect

Results appear within 1 to 2 days — faster than traditional neuromodulators — and last an average of 6 months, with many patients enjoying results for up to 9 months. Fewer treatments per year with the same smooth, natural-looking results.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth deep lines caused by volume loss, and enhance facial contours — addressing the structural changes that occur as the face ages naturally over time. Unlike neuromodulators that relax muscles, dermal fillers work by physically adding volume beneath the skin to lift, plump, and define.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who have noticed volume loss, hollowness, sagging, or deep lines in their face — and those who want to enhance facial features like the cheeks, jawline, or chin for a more defined, sculpted appearance.

Target Areas

• Cheeks — restoring the lifted, full cheek contour that diminishes with age for a more youthful, structured facial appearance

• Under eyes (tear troughs) — smoothing the hollow transition between the lower eyelid and cheek for a rested, refreshed look

• Temples — restoring volume to the hollow temples that frame the face and contribute to an aged appearance

• Smile lines (nasolabial folds) — softening the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth

• Marionette lines — addressing the lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth

• Jawline — defining and sharpening the jaw for a more sculpted, structured profile

• Chin — adding projection and balance to the lower face for improved facial harmony

• Face overall — a full face liquid facelift approach that addresses multiple areas simultaneously

What to Expect

Results are immediate and typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the treatment area and the specific filler used.

Mini Lip Filler — Half Syringe

The Mini Lip Filler is Wave Aesthetics' perfect introduction to lip enhancement — using half a syringe of premium hyaluronic acid filler to deliver a subtle, natural-looking boost that enhances the lips without dramatically changing their appearance.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who want to try lip filler for the first time and prefer to start subtle — or those who love their current lips and simply want a gentle refresh and enhancement.

Target Areas

• Lip volume — adding subtle fullness to thin or deflated lips

• Lip definition — enhancing the lip border and cupid's bow for more defined shape

• Lip symmetry — correcting minor asymmetry between the upper and lower lips

• Vertical lip lines — smoothing fine lines around the lip border

What to Expect

Natural-looking results that enhance rather than transform — with a gentle boost that most people describe as their lips looking like the best version of themselves. Results typically last 6 to 9 months.

Signature Lips — Full Syringe

The Signature Lip Filler is Wave Aesthetics' full lip enhancement treatment — using a complete syringe of premium hyaluronic acid filler for a more noticeable, fuller result that transforms the lips while still looking beautifully natural.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who want a meaningful lip transformation — more volume, more definition, improved shape, or restoration of volume lost with age. Also ideal for clients who have had the Mini Lip Filler before and are ready to build on their results.

Target Areas

• Upper lip — adding fullness and projection to a thin or flat upper lip

• Lower lip — enhancing volume and balance in the lower lip

• Lip border — creating a more defined, sculpted lip edge

• Cupid's bow — enhancing the shape and definition of the upper lip's natural curve

• Overall lip shape and symmetry — comprehensive reshaping for a fuller, more balanced lip appearance

What to Expect

Noticeable, beautiful results that last 9 to 12 months — with some swelling in the first few days that settles into the final result within 1 to 2 weeks.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a unique injectable cosmetic treatment that works differently from all other fillers — rather than adding immediate volume it stimulates your body's own collagen production to gradually restore facial volume and structure from within. Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) Sculptra triggers the skin's natural fibroblast cells to produce new collagen — rebuilding the foundation of the face naturally over weeks and months.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who want gradual, completely natural-looking results that develop over time and last significantly longer than traditional fillers — particularly those with significant facial volume loss who want a comprehensive, long-lasting rejuvenation approach.

Target Areas

• Cheeks — restoring the lifted, full cheek contour lost through collagen depletion

• Temples — rebuilding volume in the hollowed temples for a more balanced, youthful facial frame

• Jawline — rebuilding definition and structure in the lower face over time

• Chin — gradually improving lower face projection and balance

• Smile lines and marionette lines — addressing the underlying volume loss that causes these lines to deepen

• Lower face overall — comprehensive volume restoration throughout the lower face

What to Expect

A series of 2 to 3 sessions scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months and last 2 years or longer — making Sculptra one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available.

PRP Under-Eye Rejuvenation

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Under-Eye Rejuvenation is an advanced injectable treatment that uses your own blood's growth factors to naturally rejuvenate the delicate under-eye area. A small amount of your blood is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors — which are then injected into the under-eye area to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and reduce the appearance of dark circles, hollowness, and fine lines.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who are bothered by dark circles, under-eye hollowness, fine lines, or thin, crepey skin under the eyes — and those who prefer a natural, biological approach to rejuvenation using their own body's healing factors.

Target Areas

• Under-eye hollowness — naturally plumping the tear trough area for a rested, refreshed appearance

• Dark circles — improving skin quality and microcirculation to reduce the appearance of under-eye discoloration

• Fine lines and crepey skin — stimulating collagen to smooth and thicken the delicate under-eye skin

• Overall under-eye quality — comprehensive improvement in the texture, tone, and vitality of the under-eye area

What to Expect

Results develop progressively over 4 to 8 weeks as collagen production increases. A series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, with improvements continuing to build over several months.

SkinVive by Juvederm

SkinVive by Juvederm is the first and only FDA-approved injectable skin booster in its class — a hyaluronic acid micro-injection treatment that improves skin hydration, smoothness, and overall quality from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume SkinVive is designed purely to enhance the quality and texture of the skin itself — delivering long-lasting hydration that makes skin look and feel healthier, smoother, and more radiant.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who want to improve the overall quality, texture, and radiance of their skin — particularly those who struggle with dryness, dullness, rough texture, or fine surface lines that are not addressed by traditional fillers or neuromodulators.

Target Areas

• Cheeks — FDA-approved primary treatment area for improving skin smoothness and hydration

• Face overall — improving the texture, tone, and radiance of the skin across multiple facial areas

• Fine surface lines — smoothing fine texture lines caused by dehydration and collagen loss

• Skin quality — comprehensive improvement in the overall look and feel of the skin

What to Expect

Results are visible within 2 to 4 weeks as the skin becomes progressively more hydrated and smooth. Results typically last up to 6 months — and many clients describe their skin as looking consistently more healthy and glowing throughout the treatment period.

Filler Dissolving — Hylenex

Hylenex is an injectable enzyme (hyaluronidase) that dissolves hyaluronic acid-based fillers — providing a safe, effective solution for clients who are unhappy with previous filler results, have experienced complications from filler, or simply want to start fresh with a clean slate.

Who Is This Treatment For

Clients who have had hyaluronic acid filler placed elsewhere and are experiencing overcorrection, asymmetry, lumps, migration, or any result they are unhappy with. Also used proactively by providers as part of a filler revision or correction approach.

Target Areas

Hylenex can dissolve hyaluronic acid filler in any area where it has been placed — including lips, cheeks, under eyes, smile lines, jawline, chin, and any other facial area.

What to Expect

Hylenex works quickly — most filler begins dissolving within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. Multiple sessions may be needed for complete dissolution of larger volumes of filler. Once dissolved the area can be reassessed and retreated with fresh filler if desired.

The Power of Combining Injectable Treatments

One of the most effective approaches to facial rejuvenation at Wave Aesthetics is combining multiple injectable treatments in a single visit or series — addressing different aspects of the aging process simultaneously for a comprehensive, natural-looking result.

Common and highly effective treatment combinations include:

The Liquid Facelift Combining neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, or Daxxify) with strategic dermal filler placement across multiple facial areas — smoothing dynamic wrinkles while restoring volume and structural definition for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation result.

Sculptra and Filler Combination Using Sculptra to rebuild overall collagen and volume over time while using targeted dermal fillers for immediate specific enhancements — getting the benefits of both gradual collagen building and immediate results.

Lip and Perioral Treatment Combining lip filler for volume and shape with neuromodulators for lip lines and chin dimpling — addressing every aspect of the perioral area in a single comprehensive treatment plan.

Under-Eye Rejuvenation Package Combining PRP Under-Eye Rejuvenation for skin quality and natural healing with targeted dermal filler for structural hollowness — the most comprehensive approach to under-eye rejuvenation available.

Your Wave Aesthetics provider will help you design the right combination treatment plan for your specific concerns and goals during your consultation.
