What this category covers
Non-surgical and injectable treatments include neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid products for cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eyes), and other office-based work such as chemical peels, microneedling, laser skin treatments, and Kybella for submental fat. None of this requires an operating room or general anesthesia. Appointments are typically done in a treatment room in under an hour, with little to no downtime. Aurora has 7 providers in this category, ranging from dedicated med spas to plastic surgery practices that offer injectables alongside surgical procedures.
What to look for in a provider
The person holding the syringe matters more than the brand of product. Look for a board-certified physician, nurse injector, or physician assistant working under direct medical supervision, not just a certificate from a weekend course. Ask how many years they've been injecting and whether they can show before-and-after photos of patients with a similar face shape or goal to yours. A good consultation includes a discussion of facial anatomy and a plan for a natural result, not a hard sell on the most product possible. Pricing should be transparent per unit or per syringe, and you should get a clear answer on what happens if you're unhappy with symmetry or volume.
