Facial Optimization

With over 25 years of experience in injectables, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank is a pioneer in non-invasive facial lifting and rejuvenation using a range of neuromodulators and fillers. He is renowned for being one of the largest-volume injectors globally, performing over 30 patient injections daily and utilizing more than 20 substances at his PFRANKMD™ center of cosmetic excellence. Since his involvement as an original injector in the first FDA trials of Restylane in 2001, Dr. Frank remains at the forefront of research and technique development with the multitude of injectables available today.

What Injectables are Used?

With 3 types of neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin and fillers such as Restylane, Juvéderm, Radiesse, Belotero and their variations, Dr. Frank has a full palette of options to sculpt and rejuvenate patients back to the best version of themselves; all safely, effectively, and most importantly, with a natural appearance.  His motto remains that there is no best substance or treatment, only what is best for each individual.

How is Dr. Frank’s Approach to Injectables Different?

At PFRANKMD, we treat FACES NOT FEATURES! It’s not what you do, but how you do it that makes all the difference. Dr. Frank is often asked where he prioritizes injectable treatments on the face – and his answer is always the same – everywhere! Rather than just treat specific regions – lips, eyes, cheekbones, chins, earlobes – he treats people with a global approach to rejuvenation. With the boom of cosmetic treatments and the entrance of injectable providers without appropriate training, expertise, or artistry, there has been a dramatic rise in dissatisfying, unnatural results, and avoidable risks. The central ethos of Dr. Frank’s approach continues to be small amounts in many places and frequent small touch-ups to keep patients looking natural and feeling their best.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Injectables?

Neuromodulators and dermal fillers are both used to improve the appearance of the face, but they work in different ways. When it comes to neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, these injectables share a common purpose—to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles by relaxing muscles. Dermal fillers, such as Restylane, Juvéderm, and Radiesse, take a different approach—they restore volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate various facial areas.

Under Eye Fillers

As we age, the skin under the eyes loses volume, which causes hollowing and makes the fat pocket look more pronounced. Under eye circles are a combination of brown pigment, purple discoloration, and a loss volume, which only gets more pronounced over time. Our under eye filler treatments can instantly rejuvenate this delicate area and improve the hollowness and pigment. Small changes make a significant difference, and there is no single best technique. At PFRANKMD, we use a variety of fillers to achieve custom results.

Lip Fillers

Our lip filler treatments, featuring Restylane, Juvéderm, Belotero, or Radiesse, are meticulously crafted to meet each individual’s needs. Replacing volume in the lips is not about making your lips look done, but restoring the natural shape and volume that maximizes your smile and complements your facial features.

Lip Flip

The Lip Flip is a simple and effective lip enhancing procedure that is achieved by using precise doses of neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, around the mouth. This technique is designed to relax the muscles around the upper lip, causing the lip to gently flip upward. The result is a subtle enhancement that gives the illusion of a fuller and more defined upper lip, without the need for dermal fillers. Results can be seen after 1 week and last approximately 4 months. It can be performed alone or with lip volumizers. A lip flip is also great for correcting gummy smiles and fine lines around the mouth.

Perioral Fillers

The lips and perioral region play a crucial role in expressing your emotions and framing your features. Our perioral filler treatments skillfully enhance lip volume, redefine contours, and address vertical lip lines.

Wrinkle Relaxers

Our wrinkle relaxer treatments, utilizing Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, unveil a smoother canvas by gently reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. With a precise touch, we restore a youthful expression for a transformative yet natural look.

Jawline Fillers

Our jawline filler treatments enhance definition, add volume, and create a balanced, refined profile. With an artist’s eye, we craft a sculpted jawline that harmonizes with your overall facial aesthetics.

Chin Filler

Chin filler is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves injecting dermal fillers to enhance the shape and projection of the chin. It can help create a more balanced facial profile by adding definition and symmetry to the chin area. This treatment is often chosen by individuals seeking to achieve a stronger jawline or correct a receding chin without the need for surgery.

Traps (Trapezius Muscles)

Trapezius filler injections are an emerging trend in cosmetic treatments. By injecting dermal fillers into the trapezius muscles, the area can appear fuller and more sculpted, enhancing the overall look of the neck and upper back. This procedure is often sought after by individuals who desire a more defined and athletic appearance in these areas.

Earlobe Filler

Earlobe filler involves injecting dermal fillers into the earlobes to restore volume and firmness. Over time, earlobes can lose elasticity and become saggy or elongated due to aging or wearing heavy earrings. Earlobe filler can rejuvenate the earlobes, making them appear plump and youthful, and it can also provide additional support for wearing earrings without them stretching the earlobe further.

Neck Lines

Treating necklines with filler is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the delicate skin of the neck area. Injecting dermal fillers into the skin, healthcare can soften the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin on the neck. This treatment restores lost volume and hydration, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking neck.

Recovery, Results & Reversal

The recovery period for injectable treatments is typically minimal. After the procedure, you might experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness around the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few days to a week. Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment. It’s recommended to avoid intense physical activity, alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours to minimize any potential side effects. The results of injectable treatments are often noticeable right away and continue to improve over the following weeks as the treatment settles and any initial swelling diminishes. The reasons for reversing fillers range from incorrectly placed filler, too much filler, allergies to filler, or emergency situations where there is compression or blockage of a blood vessel as a result of injection. In non emergency situations there is as much of a skill in reversing filler as there is in using filler. Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hyaluronic acid must be injected slowly to achieve a ‘sculpted down result’. This prevents deflation reactions that could leave a patient looking empty. It is essential that any injector is as skilled as managing complications as they are at placing filler.

Simple Rules for Safe and Effective Injectable Treatments

Injectables are an essential part of cosmetic rejuvenation, but they come with common, manageable risks—like bruising. It can happen to anyone, no matter how experienced the injector or how careful the prep. To reduce the risk, avoid alcohol, pain relievers, and certain supplements like fish oil and vitamin E for 24–48 hours before treatment.

Watch this video to see for yourself: even Dr. Frank isn’t immune to post-injection bruising. It’s simply part of the process. The good news? A vascular laser like the VBeam can quickly clear it up.

WARNING: Injectable cosmetic agents, although safe and effective, do carry some health and cosmetic risks . They must be performed by experienced and licensed healthcare professionals and only after thorough consultation of the various options and their relative risks.
Listen as I discuss non-invasive cosmetic treatments, such as injectables, energy-based devices, and threads, on the ability to have successful plastic surgery in the future and the potential impact and importance of coordinating care between your cosmetic dermatologist and plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible outcomes, whether the patient decides to undergo surgery or not.

Achieving the best possible outcome from facial plastic surgery extends far beyond the operating room. Post-surgical care plays a critical role in supporting healing, enhancing results, and maintaining facial harmony over time. Immediate postoperative management focuses on controlling swelling and bruising through modalities such as lymphatic drainage, cold compresses, and, when appropriate, vascular laser treatments like VBeam. These therapies can minimize inflammation, reduce discoloration, and accelerate visible recovery.

Ensuring that incisions heal cleanly and without complications is also essential. This involves proper wound care, scar prevention strategies, and sometimes the early use of treatments like silicone gels or light-based therapy to minimize scar visibility. Neuromodulators (such as Botox or Dysport) may also be used in the early healing stages to reduce tension on healing incisions and prevent the formation of dynamic wrinkles.

As healing progresses, the focus shifts toward refinement and long-term maintenance. Cosmetic injectables—including hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulatory agents like Sculptra, and neuromodulators—can help restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance surgical outcomes without the need for further invasive procedures. These treatments are especially effective in maintaining youthful contours and prolonging the benefits of surgery.

Ultimately, collaboration between a skilled facial plastic surgeon and an experienced cosmetic dermatologist ensures a 360-degree approach to rejuvenation. By combining surgical precision with advanced aesthetic maintenance, patients can enjoy natural-looking, long-lasting results that evolve beautifully over time.

Biostimulatory injectables represent a powerful class of treatments that go beyond traditional fillers. Rather than simply adding volume, these products work by stimulating the body’s own regenerative processes, encouraging collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin quality, and promoting long-term improvements in tissue health.

As we age, we naturally lose collagen, elastin, fat, and structural support, leading to volume loss, sagging, textural irregularities, and a tired appearance. Biostimulatory agents restore what time has taken by triggering the body to rebuild from within, making them ideal for patients seeking a more natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.

Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that primarily provide instant volume through gel-like substances, biostimulatory fillers act as catalysts for regeneration. 

They often have a more subtle, progressive onset of results—typically peaking several months after treatment—and can continue working for over a year or longer.

Here, we are using biostimulatory fillers on the abdomen to restore volume in areas with skin dimpling.

These injectables help to smoothen lines, plump the skin, and provide long-lasting results for up to a year.

This can be especially helpful for women after having babies, where the skin and muscles have stretched out.

The procedure typically takes about 20 minutes with minimal downtime and can be performed on various areas of the body.

For deeper indentations, we have been achieving remarkable results with VRG (VSEL Stem Cell Rich Gels) injections. These injections fill and stimulate natural tissue, leading to both short-term and long-term improvements in texture, tone, and skin irregularities.

When patients reach a certain point in their aesthetic journey, facial injectables may no longer be their only option, and it’s time to change the approach.

In order to avoid looking overdone, thread lifts are an excellent addition to injectables and skin tightening devices for the right candidate with mild to moderate skin laxity, not a replacement.

Dissolvable PDO barbed sutures (thread lifting) stimulates collagen production and tightens and lifts the skin.

The thread lift procedure is quick, minimally invasive, virtually painless, and lasts up to 12-18 months.

Here, we are performing Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing on a patient looking to address fine lines and crepey skin—especially around the eyes, mouth, and neck. While injectables like Botox and fillers help smooth and volumize, nothing matches CO2 laser resurfacing for refining skin texture and treating deep-set lines.

This gold-standard resurfacing treatment removes damaged skin layers, stimulates collagen production, and creates a smoother, firmer appearance. Our patient is the perfect candidate with light hair, light eyes, and early signs of skin laxity—and she’s not quite ready for surgery.

✔️ Performed under twilight anesthesia (similar to a colonoscopy)
✔️ 15-minute treatment time
✔️ One-week recovery: No makeup or exercise for the first 7 days
✔️ Mild redness & swelling for another week, easily coverable with makeup

We’ll also be using the Fraxel Dual or Thulium laser to target sun damage on the neck, as different lasers serve different purposes. While Fraxel Dual is great for pigmentation and mild texture issues, Fractional CO2 goes deeper to smooth fine lines and crepey skin.

Ultimately, it’s not just about the device—it’s who’s performing the treatment and how it’s done that makes the difference. Stay tuned as we achieve another home run at PFRANKMD! 💥
