Looking youthful shouldn’t mean looking “done.” Yet, many people shy away from injectable treatments, fearing that artificial, overdone appearance we’ve all seen. The truth is, achieving natural-looking results isn’t about how much filler you use—it’s about who performs your treatment and how they approach facial aesthetics.
Enter Dr. Mashhadian, a renowned expert in injectable treatments who is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who has mastered the delicate balance between enhancement and authenticity. His artistic approach combines advanced techniques with a deep understanding of facial anatomy to create results that turn back the clock while maintaining your natural beauty.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the art of injectable treatments through Dr. Mashhadian’s expert lens, revealing how you can achieve that coveted naturally youthful look. From understanding different types of injectables to learning about treatment areas and long-term maintenance, we’ll cover everything you need to know to make an informed decision about your aesthetic journey.
Understanding Injectable Treatments
Types of Dermal Fillers Available
Today’s aesthetic market offers various dermal fillers, each designed for specific purposes:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
- Juvederm family
- Restylane products
- Best for lips and facial wrinkles
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
- Radiesse
- Ideal for deeper wrinkles
- Poly-L-lactic Acid
- Sculptra
- Gradual collagen stimulation
Difference Between Fillers and Neurotoxins
| Feature | Dermal Fillers | Neurotoxins |
| Purpose | Add volume, fill wrinkles | Relax muscles, prevent wrinkles |
| Duration | 6-24 months | 3-6 months |
| Treatment Areas | Cheeks, lips, under eyes | Forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines |
| Onset | Immediate | 3-7 days |
How Injectables Work Beneath the Skin
Injectables function through distinct mechanisms depending on their type. Dermal fillers physically occupy space beneath the skin, providing immediate volume and support to aging tissues. They work by either replacing lost volume or stimulating the body’s natural collagen production.
Neurotoxins, conversely, work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, reducing their contraction and smoothing dynamic wrinkles. This targeted approach ensures natural facial expressions while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Now that you understand the fundamentals of injectable treatments, let’s explore Dr. Mashhadian’s unique approach to achieving optimal results.

Creating Natural-Looking Results
Strategic Injection Points
The key to achieving natural-looking results lies in precise injection placement. Dr. Mashhadian utilizes advanced anatomical mapping to identify optimal injection sites that enhance facial features while maintaining natural movement and expression.
Proper Product Selection
Different areas of the face require specific products for optimal results:
- Neurotoxins (Botox®) – For dynamic wrinkles and expression lines

Balanced Facial Proportions

Gradual Enhancement Approach

Age-Appropriate Treatments
Treatment plans are customized based on age-related changes:

- 50s+: Comprehensive rejuvenation with multiple modalities
With these natural-looking results established, let’s explore the specific treatment areas and solutions available for different cosmetic concerns.
Treatment Areas and Solutions
Under-eye Rejuvenation
The delicate under-eye area often shows early signs of aging through hollow tears troughs and dark circles. Using specialized dermal fillers, we can restore volume and reduce shadowing, creating a more refreshed appearance without looking overdone.
Cheek Enhancement
As facial volume naturally diminishes with age, strategic filler placement in the cheeks can:
- Restore youthful contours
- Lift sagging skin
- Create natural-looking definition
- Support surrounding facial structures
Lip Augmentation
Modern lip enhancement focuses on balanced, natural-looking results. Here’s how we approach lip treatments:
| Aspect | Technique | Benefit |
| Volume | Micro-droplet method | Subtle plumping |
| Shape | Border definition | Enhanced natural curve |
| Proportion | Golden ratio application | Balanced appearance |
| Hydration | Specialized fillers | Natural moisture look |
Jawline Definition
A well-defined jawline creates a youthful profile and balanced facial structure. Treatment options include:
- Strategic filler placement for enhanced definition
- Kybella injections to reduce submental fat
- Combination treatments for optimal contouring
- Gradual enhancement for natural-looking results
With a precise understanding of facial anatomy and aging patterns, each area is treated with careful consideration of how it interacts with surrounding features. Now that we’ve explored the key treatment areas, let’s discuss how to maintain these beautiful results for the long term.
Maintaining Long-Term Results
Recommended Treatment Intervals
Optimal timing between injectable treatments varies based on the specific product and individual response:
| Treatment Type | Recommended Interval | Duration of Results |
| Botox | 3-4 months | 3-6 months |
| Dermal Fillers | 6-12 months | 6-18 months |
| Kybella | Permanent after series | 2-4 treatments |
Complementary Skincare Routines
A comprehensive skincare routine enhances and prolongs injectable results:
- Daily SPF 30+ protection
- Medical-grade retinoids
- Antioxidant serums
- Regular hydration
- Professional treatments (chemical peels, microdermabrasion)
Lifestyle Factors Affecting Results
Several key factors influence the longevity of your injectable treatments:
- Sun exposure management
- Hydration levels (8+ glasses of water daily)
- Sleep quality (7-9 hours nightly)
- Exercise routine
- Smoking status (cessation recommended)
- Stress management
Consistent maintenance of these factors significantly extends the life of your treatments. Regular exercise increases blood circulation, enhancing the natural metabolic processes that keep your skin healthy. Proper hydration maintains skin volume and elasticity, while adequate sleep allows for optimal cellular repair.
