At B+A Aesthetics, our injection providers are conservative with their approach. This allows us to add more if you’d like. We always strive to give patients natural results and won’t overfill your features.
Dr. Nicole Basa and Dr. Alan Abando, a husband-and-wife family team, own B+A Aesthetics. Both surgeons are board-certified in bariatrics and trained in aesthetic care. They, along with the practice’s aesthetic providers, are dedicated to providing patients with comprehensive, compassionate care and noticeable results.

Your Treatment Providers for Fillers and Botox in Cedar Park
Dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, like Botox in Cedar Park, are helpful aesthetic tools when used alone or together. Whether you choose to use one or both injectables is up to you and depends on the overall look you want.
Before we detail why some patients choose to combine these products, we’ll discuss the different wrinkle relaxers and fillers we offer at our practice and how these injections work.
Wrinkle Relaxers
B+A offers patients a wide range of wrinkle relaxers to choose from. Whether you want to try Dysport or Xeomin or come in for Botox in Cedar Park, we’ve got you covered.
Botox
B+A Aesthetic is one of the premier destinations to get Botox in Cedar Park. We use this neurotoxin (also known as a neuromodulator) to smooth the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
This FDA-approved injectable can also ease the symptoms of various medical conditions, including:
- Neck spasms
- Muscle spasms
- Lazy eye
- Excessive sweating
- Migraines
- Bladder issues
How Botox Works
Trained providers inject a small amount of Botox into specific muscles to immobilize their movements temporarily. When these muscles relax, certain wrinkles caused by everyday facial movements soften. Our team can use Botox to correct dynamic wrinkles (expression lines), such as:
- The parallel lines that appear between the brows (“11” lines).
- The horizontal lines on the forehead.
- The lines surrounding the eyes (crow’s feet).
Botox Treatment and Results
Before Botox in Cedar Park, your injection provider will offer you a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Generally, though, patients report little to no pain during their treatment.
Most patients see results a few days after their injections, with full results appearing in 1 to 2 weeks. You can experience results for 4 to 6 months, depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the injectable, or maintain your results for longer with additional injections.
Dysport
Dysport is very similar to Botox in Cedar Park, but with a few key differences:
- Dysport contains botulinum toxin, but its unit dosage amounts differ from those of Botox.
- Dysport is formulated to smooth the frown lines between the brows. It can also treat other dynamic wrinkles on the face.
Dysport is also sometimes a good option for patients whose bodies have gotten used to Botox injections and are seeing less remarkable results with it over time.
Patients may see results lasting up to 5 months per treatment.
Xeomin
Xeomin is also very similar to Dysport and Botox, and like Dysport, it’s also approved to treat the “11” frown lines between the eyes and other expression wrinkles.
This wrinkle relaxer is unique from Botox in Cedar Park because it does not include additives. This is beneficial because, sometimes, patients’ bodies get used to Botox’s added proteins and stop reacting to the injectable’s smoothing effects.
Are you unsure which wrinkle relaxer is right for you? Your aesthetic provider can recommend which neuromodulator best suits your needs and desired outcomes.
Dermal Fillers
Unlike wrinkle relaxers like Botox in Cedar Park, dermal fillers correct static wrinkles and facial and neck volume loss. Once injected, the gel-like substances replenish skin affected by age or weight loss.
At B+A, we use the following filler depending on a client’s needs:
JUVÉDERM
JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid filler that can add volume to the face and smooth facial wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in your skin and is wonderful at attracting and holding moisture.
We offer the following JUVÉDERM injectables:
- VOLLURE XC: For moderate-to-severe wrinkles, as well as facial folds. It can help smooth the “parentheses” that sometimes form around the nose and mouth.
- ULTRA PLUS XC: For adding volume to lips.
- VOLUMA XC: Can restore and enhance cheek volume.
- VOLBELLA XC: Can provide subtle lip enhancement and reduce the appearance of lines around the lips.
One JUVÉDERM session takes 20 minutes to 1 hour, and most patients see results for 6 months to 2 years. Depending on the area where you get this dermal filler, you may benefit from maintenance appointments every 6 months.
Restylane
Restylane is another hyaluronic acid filler. We offer the following Restylane fillers at our practice:
-
- Defyne: Can address deep lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose.
- Refyne: Can smooth lines around the nose and mouth.
- Lyft: Can add volume to the lips, temples, cheeks, and other facial areas. We also can use this filler for hand rejuvenation.
- Kysse: Can add volume to the lips.
- Eyelight: Can fill in the undereye shallows.
- Contour: Can address volume in the cheeks.
One Restylane session takes approximately 20 minutes. Most patients see results soon after their injection, but optimal results are noticeable 4 to 6 weeks later and last for 6 months to 2 years.
Radiesse
Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a combination of calcium and phosphate ions. Once injected, this gel-like formula provides the treatment area with immediate volume and stimulates the body’s ability to produce collagen.
It’s a good choice for people who want immediate results that lead to longer-term benefits.
We use Radiesse to treat:
- Wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose
- Laugh lines
- Scars
- Chin wrinkles
- Volume loss in cheeks
- Volume loss in hands
One Radiesse session takes 20 minutes. Besides providing visible results following an appointment, it also can provide patients with skin-smoothing collagen production that lasts around 2 years.
Belotero Balance
Belotero Balance is another hyaluronic acid filler, but it has a thinner consistency than JUVÉDERM and Restylane. Because its formula is thinner, it can smooth more delicate facial areas and etched-in lines.
We use Belotero Balance to smooth the following facial areas:
- Under-eye bags
- Tear troughs
- Light to moderate smile lines and lines around the nose
- Vertical lines about the lips
- Minor nose bumps
- Loss of volume in the cheeks and other areas of the face
Belotero Balance appointments take between 20 minutes to 1 hour, and most patients see results for 6 to 18 months.
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable dermal filler made of poly-L-lactic acid. Besides reducing fine lines and wrinkles and filling areas with lost volume, Sculptra also stimulates the body to create new collagen.
Our skilled providers will inject Sculptra in a series of 20-minute to 1-hour appointments. It takes more time to see results (approximately 3 to 4 months) from Sculptra because it takes time for your tissue to regenerate.
The Perfect Combination
Because our suite of dermal fillers, Dysport, Xeomin, and Botox in Cedar Park smooth different wrinkles, patients sometimes benefit from getting more than one type of injection.
- Wrinkle relaxers can diminish the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. This includes smile lines around the mouth, nose, and eyes, as well as lines that emerge from frequent forehead movements.
- Dermal fillers can diminish the appearance of static wrinkles caused by aging skin or weight loss. For example, if your cheeks were previously full and then you lost a significant amount of weight, they may appear more wrinkled and hollow after weight loss.
Using both types of injectables can give some patients a more comprehensive, well-rounded result.
