Injectable treatments can address different aspects of facial aging and appearance, from expression lines and facial movement to volume, definition, and collagen support. At The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach, injectable options include Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, lip flips, dermal fillers, Sculptra, and PRP under-eye injections.

Choosing an injectable isn't simply about deciding where you want treatment. The first question is what you want to change and what's creating that concern. A line caused primarily by repeated muscle movement requires a different approach than lost facial volume, while changes in skin quality or collagen may call for another treatment entirely.

That's why injectable treatment at The Skin Chic begins with understanding your goals and developing an approach around your individual facial features.

Different injectables work in fundamentally different ways.

Neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity. Dermal fillers can restore or add volume and definition. Sculptra works progressively by stimulating collagen production, while PRP provides another approach for selected concerns involving the delicate under-eye area.

Understanding these differences is an important part of choosing the right treatment rather than selecting an injectable simply because it's popular or familiar.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are neuromodulators, often referred to as neurotoxins, that can be used to soften expression lines by temporarily reducing activity in targeted facial muscles.

Expression lines develop in areas where the skin repeatedly folds as the muscles underneath move. Over time, lines that initially appear only during expression can become increasingly noticeable even when the face is relaxed. Strategic neuromodulator treatment can reduce targeted movement while preserving natural facial expression.

Common cosmetic concerns treated with neuromodulators include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet around the eyes. The appropriate product, treatment areas, and number of units depend on your facial anatomy, muscle activity, and desired result.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin belong to the same general treatment category, but they aren't identical products. Your injector can determine which option and treatment approach make sense for your goals rather than treating every client according to the same pattern.

Botox, Dysport & Xeomin Pricing
Current standard neurotoxin pricing is:
• 49 units and under – $14 per unit
• 50 units and over – $13 per unit

Beauty Vault members receive preferred neurotoxin pricing of $12–$13 per unit, depending on the number of units treated:
• 49 units and under – $13 per unit
• 50 units and over – $12 per unit

Your injector will determine the appropriate number of units based on your facial anatomy, muscle activity, treatment areas, and goals.

Pricing is current as of publication and is subject to change. Final pricing depends on your personalized treatment plan.

A lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator around the upper lip to alter targeted muscle movement. Rather than adding physical volume to the lips, the treatment can allow more of the upper lip to show.

That distinction is important because a lip flip and lip filler don't accomplish the same thing.

Lip filler changes structure and volume. A lip flip changes movement.

A lip flip may be considered when you're looking for a subtle change without adding filler volume. However, it isn't a substitute for dermal filler when the goal is to meaningfully increase lip volume or create structural definition.

Lip anatomy can also look significantly different at rest, while smiling, and during other facial movements.
Evaluating the lips both at rest and in motion helps your injector determine whether a lip flip, lip filler, or potentially a combination of approaches makes the most sense for what you want to change.

While neurotoxins primarily address muscle activity, dermal fillers are used to restore or enhance facial volume, structure, and definition.

Volume changes can alter the proportions of the face over time. In other cases, clients aren't trying to restore something that has been lost—they may simply want greater definition or a subtle adjustment to the balance between features.

At The Skin Chic, dermal filler may be considered for areas including the lips, cheeks, under-eye area, jawline, temples, chin, nasolabial folds, neck, and mid-face.

The amount of filler used isn't what determines whether a result is successful. Facial proportions matter. Treating one area can affect how surrounding features are perceived, which is why filler should be approached in the context of the face as a whole.

For some clients, that means restoring volume. For others, it may mean adding subtle definition or improving balance between features. More filler doesn't automatically create a better result.

Dermal filler treatment is personalized, so your injector will discuss appropriate treatment areas and product needs as part of your individual plan.

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that stimulates collagen production, making it different from traditional dermal filler.

Rather than focusing primarily on immediate structural enhancement, Sculptra works progressively as the body responds to treatment. This allows it to play a different role in addressing changes associated with collagen and facial volume.

At The Skin Chic, a typical Sculptra series consists of two to four treatments spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart, with yearly maintenance recommended afterward based on individual needs.

Current Sculptra pricing is $850 for one vial or $1,600 when two vials are used during the same session.

Pricing is current as of publication and is subject to change. Final pricing depends on your personalized treatment plan.

The under-eye area presents different challenges than many other parts of the face because visible changes can involve a combination of texture, fine lines, volume, discoloration, and shadowing.

PRP under-eye injections use platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood as a treatment option for selected concerns involving the under-eye area.

The Skin Chic currently offers PRP under-eye injections for established clients only. New clients interested in this treatment must first complete a consultation before booking the service.

The current Skin Chic treatment protocol recommends a series of treatments for best results, with maintenance determined based on the individual client.

PRP under-eye injections are currently $600 per treatment session.

Not every under-eye concern has the same cause. Dark circles, hollowness, crepey skin, pigmentation, and shadowing can look similar while potentially requiring different approaches. An assessment is important before deciding whether PRP is appropriate for what you're seeing.

Pricing is current as of publication and is subject to change. Final pricing depends on your personalized treatment plan.

The easiest way to understand injectable treatments is to focus on what each treatment is designed to change.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin address movement. They temporarily reduce activity in targeted muscles and are commonly used when repeated facial movement contributes to expression lines.

A lip flip also changes movement. It uses a neuromodulator around the upper lip to subtly change how much of the upper lip is visible without adding filler volume.

Dermal filler changes structure and volume. Depending on the treatment area, it can restore volume, add definition, enhance proportions, or provide structural support.

Sculptra stimulates collagen. Its effects develop progressively rather than functioning like traditional filler designed for more immediate structural enhancement.

PRP uses components derived from your own blood and provides a different treatment approach for selected concerns involving the under-eye area.

These differences are why the most popular injectable isn't necessarily the right injectable for you. The appropriate treatment depends on what's creating the concern and what kind of change you're hoping to achieve.

Natural-looking injectable treatment isn't necessarily about using the smallest possible amount of product. It's about using the appropriate treatment, placement, and amount for the individual face.

Your injector may consider facial proportions, muscle movement, existing volume, areas of volume loss, symmetry, and the relationship between individual features before recommending treatment.

That becomes especially important when treating areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin, or jawline. Changing one feature can affect the way another feature appears, even when that second area isn't treated.

The goal isn't to make every feature larger, smoother, or more defined. It's to determine where treatment can improve balance while preserving the characteristics that make your face look like you.

Injectables can address movement, volume, structure, and collagen support, but they don't address every component of skin aging.

Skin tone, texture, pigmentation, sun damage, hydration, and surface quality may require different approaches. For some clients, treatments focused directly on the skin can complement injectable care when both facial structure and skin quality are priorities.

Facials & Professional Skincare
Professional facials can support hydration, exfoliation, brightness, skin barrier health, and ongoing skin maintenance.

The Skin Chic offers customized All-In Facials, specialized Biologique Recherche facials, and a number of other professional facial options. These treatments can address aspects of skin quality that neurotoxins and dermal filler aren't designed to change.

Laser Treatments
Laser treatments provide another approach when concerns involve pigmentation, sun damage, uneven tone, texture, or resurfacing.
The Skin Chic offers laser and resurfacing options including PicoSure Pro, Clear + Brilliant, Glass Skin, and CO2 laser resurfacing. These treatments serve different purposes from injectables but may complement an overall aesthetic approach when skin quality is also a priority.

Microneedling & Collagen Remodeling
The Skin Chic offers SkinPen microneedling and Potenza RF microneedling for clients interested in treatments focused on collagen remodeling and skin quality.
Depending on the treatment selected and the concern being addressed, microneedling may be considered for texture, fine lines, acne scarring, firmness, and other visible skin concerns.

Sculptra, SkinPen, and Potenza can all be discussed in the context of collagen, but they aren't interchangeable treatments. They work through different mechanisms and may be appropriate for different concerns.

The objective isn't to combine as many treatments as possible. It's to identify which aspects of the face and skin you actually want to change and select treatments accordingly.

Injectable pricing varies because different products are priced differently and the amount of treatment needed depends on your anatomy, treatment areas, and goals.

Current Skin Chic injectable pricing includes:
• Botox, Dysport & Xeomin – $13–$14 per unit, depending on the number of units treated

• Beauty Vault neurotoxin pricing – $12–$13 per unit, depending on the number of units treated

• Sculptra – $850 for one vial or $1,600 for two vials used during the same session

• PRP Under-Eye Injection – $600 per treatment

• New Client Injectable Consultation – $75

For neurotoxins, the current pricing tiers are $14 per unit for 49 units and under and $13 per unit for 50 units and over. Beauty Vault members receive preferred pricing of $13 per unit for 49 units and under and $12 per unit for 50 units and over.

Dermal filler treatment is personalized based on the areas being addressed and the treatment plan developed with your injector. Current filler pricing should be confirmed during consultation rather than assuming a predetermined amount of product.

Pricing is current as of publication and is subject to change. Final pricing depends on your personalized treatment plan. Please refer to The Skin Chic treatment menu or schedule an injectable consultation for current pricing.

If you're new to injectable treatments—or simply aren't sure which option is appropriate—the consultation is where the decision should begin.

The Skin Chic offers a New Client Injectable Consultation for $75. During the consultation, you'll discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and the range of neurotoxins and dermal fillers that may be appropriate for you.

The consultation also gives your injector an opportunity to evaluate facial movement, proportions, existing volume, and other factors that can't be properly assessed by choosing a treatment from a menu alone.

Under the current Skin Chic policy, the consultation fee is waived if you treat with Valerie the same day or deducted from your first appointment when your first injection appointment is booked within two weeks of the consultation.

Consultation pricing and policies are current as of publication and are subject to change.

There isn't one injectable treatment that's best for every face or every concern.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin can address targeted facial movement. A lip flip can subtly change upper-lip movement without adding filler volume. Dermal fillers can restore or enhance structure and definition. Sculptra provides a progressive approach centered around collagen stimulation, while PRP offers another option for selected under-eye concerns.

The starting point is determining what you want to change, what's contributing to it, and which treatment is suited to that goal.

At The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach, injectable treatments are approached with an emphasis on personalization, facial balance, and results designed around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment pattern.

Schedule an injectable consultation at The Skin Chic to discuss your goals and determine which treatment options may be appropriate for you.
