Injectables in Fort Worth
Natural-Looking Botox® and Dermal Fillers at Skin Deep Laser MD
If you’ve started noticing lines that linger, shadows that weren’t there before, or a tired look that doesn’t match how you feel, you’re not alone.
Faces change gradually. Skin loses elasticity. Repeated expressions fold and crease the skin. Over time, we lose volume from fat and even bone. Rapid weight loss—including GLP-1–related weight loss—can accelerate that volume loss, especially in the midface.
Injectables are designed to gently address these changes so you still look like yourself—just more rested, relaxed, and refreshed.
At Skin Deep Laser MD, injectables are never about dramatically changing your appearance. They’re about restoring balance so your outer appearance reflects how vibrant and confident you already feel inside.
What are Injectables?
“Injectables” is a general term that includes two main categories of treatments:
Neuromodulators (like Botox,)Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Letybo)
Dermal fillers (like Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Versa, Sculptra, etc)
They work differently, but often complement each other:
Neuromodulators relax the muscles that create expression lines
Fillers restore volume and support facial structure
A consultation helps determine which approach—or combination—will look most natural for your face.
Botox® in Fort Worth
Relax Expression Lines Without Looking Frozen
Neuromodulators (like Botox Cosmetic) temporarily relax specific facial muscles that create expression lines.
Every time you squint, smile, frown, or raise your brows, facial muscles contract and fold the skin. Over time, those repeated movements can create lines that linger even when your face is at rest. Botox works by relaxing those muscles so the skin can smooth, without eliminating your ability to look like you.
The goal is not a frozen face. It’s a softer, more relaxed version of your natural expression.
Areas Commonly Treated With Botox
Botox is often used to soften:
Frown lines between the brows (“11s”)
Horizontal forehead lines
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Bunny lines on the nose
Lip lines
Chin dimpling
Downturned corners of the mouth
Neck bands
Gummy smile
Your custom treatment plan allows you to remain expressive while reducing lines that can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel.
More Than Wrinkle Reduction (Therapeutic Uses)
Neuromodulators c an also be used therapeutically to help treat:
Chronic migraines
Tension headaches
Bruxism (jaw clenching or teeth grinding)
TMJ
Muscle tension disorders
We also offer a men’s service option for erectile function support via neuromodulators.
Dermal Fillers in Fort Worth
Restore Volume and Facial Balance
While Botox relaxes muscle movement, fillers address a different part of aging: volume loss.
As we age, the face gradually loses supportive fat, collagen, and even bone. That volume loss can create:
Hollow under-eyes
Flattened cheeks
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Marionette lines
Thinning lips
Jawline changes
Jowling
Weight loss—especially rapid or GLP-1–related weight loss—can make these changes feel more noticeable, faster. Dermal fillers help restore that lost structure and rebalance facial proportions. The goal isn’t unrecognizable transformation. It’s true-to-you restoration.
What Fillers Are (and What They Aren’t)
Most modern fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin hydrated and plump. Fillers can:
Restore subtle volume
Soften deeper folds
Support contours like cheeks, lips, and jawline
Reduce shadowing in areas like under-eyes
They are not meant to “change your face.” When placed thoughtfully, results look like you, just healthier, rested, and more balanced.
Our Philosophy
Natural Results That Don’t Look “Done”
Heads should turn because you look like a more radiant you; not because something looks off. Injectables should never change the shape of your face or make you look like someone else. Dr. Riehm’s approach is simple:
Enhance, don’t alter
Preserve natural movement
Maintain your facial proportions
Use the most conservative effective plan
Prioritize safety and long-term results
After mild swelling resolves—usually within a few days—you will look more rested, more refreshed, and more like yourself. The best cosmetic work is invisible.
Physician-Performed Injectables for Safety
Neuromodulators and dermal fillers are powerful medical treatments. In the wrong hands, they can cause serious complications. At Skin Deep Laser MD:
All injections are performed exclusively by Dr. Laura Riehm
Treatments are guided by deep knowledge of facial anatomy and dosing strategy
You are never handed off to a technician or extender
Your safety, symmetry, and long-term results depend on who is holding the syringe.
What to Expect
Most injectable appointments are quick, convenient, and require no downtime.
Treatment time: typically 10–30 minutes
Comfort: most patients describe small pinches
Downtime: none (return to normal activities the same day)
Botox results: begin in a few days; last about 3–4 months
Filler results: immediate improvement; typically last 9–18 months depending on product and area
Mild redness or bruising is possible, and mild swelling is probable. These typically resolve quickly.
A Personalized Plan for Your Face
Every face is different, and what looks “natural” varies from person to person. During your consultation we focus on:
What changes you’ve noticed
What you want to soften or restore
What a refreshed (but still-you) result looks like
Some patients do best with Botox alone. Others need filler for volume restoration. Many get the most natural outcome with a thoughtful combination.
Your plan is always designed around your goals, your comfort level, and your face.
