Injectables
Do you want to enhance your facial features without the commitment and downtime of surgical procedures?
Dr. Arnold S. Lee offers a variety of injectable treatments at his Weston and Boston, MA, offices.
Request your consultation to learn how these non-surgical solutions can effectively reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, volume loss, and fine lines.
Sculptra Aesthetic
Collagen is a protein that is naturally produced by the body and is responsible for connecting tissues including skin, bone, and cartilage. As we age, our bodies begin to produce less of this protein, which can cause our skin to appear saggy and less voluminous.
Sculptra® Aesthetic is a dermal filler that stimulates the body's production of collagen to replace lost collagen over time. Dr. Lee is a Sculptra-trained physician with extensive experience in administering this injectable treatment. This anti-aging filler is different from similar products because, although it does not promise instant results, it does deliver longevity.
Patients who undergo Sculptra treatment receive multiple injections of the filler over several months, gradually eliminating deep folds and wrinkles. Because the changes happen steadily, patients experience natural-looking results that can last for up to two years.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is another injectable treatment that Dr. Lee offers to his patients who would like to ease the signs of aging. This differs from other anti-aging products because it is injected directly into the muscle, as opposed to settling under the skin.
BOTOX injections work by reducing the number of muscle contractions at the injection sites, thus effectively decreasing wrinkles in the skin. Dr. Lee often provides this cosmetic injectable to patients in the Boston, Weston, and Brookline areas who wish to minimize crow’s feet, lines between the brows, and laugh lines.
An injection appointment for BOTOX can typically be completed in less than 20 minutes, allowing Boston patients to fine-tune their faces without sacrificing significant amounts of time.
BOTOX Is Time-Tested
/
BOTOX Cosmetic earned FDA approval in 2002, becoming the first product of its kind to be approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines in adults. Since 2002, over 100 million vials of BOTOX have been sold in the United States alone.
Dr. Lee
Is a Facial Expert
Who Provides Boston's
Injectables Himself
Dr. Arnold Lee served as the Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Assistant Professor of Head and Neck Surgery at Tufts Medical Center for five years. He has been published in multiple major textbooks and a wide array of peer-reviewed facial plastic surgery journals. Dr. Lee also regularly presents at various meetings and conferences where he teaches other surgeons how to perform better cosmetic procedures.
At many plastic surgery centers, medical spa procedures are handled by nurse practitioners. Not at Dr. Lee's Boston office. He administers injectables himself, ensuring his patients receive their treatments from a true facial expert.

A 5-Star Review From a Boston Patient
"My experience with Dr. Lee has been nothing short of outstanding. He is so caring, considerate and thoughtful" Caroline L.
Restylane Injectable Treatments
Restylane® is a clear gel filler that can be used to reduce the appearance of laugh lines, marionette lines, and other facial wrinkles. Comprised of hyaluronic acid, Restylane is injected underneath the skin to add volume and define the contours of the face.
Dr. Lee can conveniently administer this non-surgical treatment to his patients throughout Weston, Brookline, and Boston, Massachusetts, in less than one hour. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body, Restylane is easily received and is non-toxic. The results of this cosmetic injectable are seen almost immediately and can last up to 12 months.
Restylane Is Great
for Various Skin Types
/
Used in over 65 million cosmetic treatments across the globe, Restylane is designed for use by patients with a wide array of skin types and tones.
JUVÉDERM
JUVÉDERM® is a dermal filler for patients who wish to restore volume to their skin. JUVÉDERM contains a modified version of hyaluronic acid. The unique formula of this injectable treatment makes it especially useful when it comes to treating fine lines and delicate areas, such as the lips. Results can be expected to last for as long as a full year or even more, depending on the specific JUVÉDERM product a patient chooses.
This filler can be used to improve concerns like:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Lip shape
- Lip size
- Cheek volume
- Under-eye hollows
- Facial definition
- Aging hands
Some People Are Not Suitable Candidates for Certain Injectables
Injectables are ideal for many patients, but not all. By offering so many different options, Dr. Lee is typically able to find a filler that will work for any patient. That being said, the following may make BOTOX or dermal fillers not ideal for you:
Pregnancy
If you are currently pregnant or nursing, it is wise to wait until you are finished before receiving dermal fillers.
Age
If you are under the age of 18, BOTOX and dermal fillers are not recommended.
The Efficacy of Fillers Has Skyrocketed
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, fillers today are much more effective than they were in the past. This has been driven by better products and providers obtaining better injection techniques. These improvements deliver a more rested appearance, less painful appointments, longer-lasting results, natural-looking appearances, and more.
Another Great Review From a Boston Patient
"Dr Lee is very professional, knowledgable and easy to talk with. After seeing him, I understand the difference between an average doctor, and an excellent doctor."
