Get Juvederm, Restylane and more at our medical spa in Houston!

Our Houston-area cosmetic surgery patients have many choices of fillers here at Marshall Back and Body Wellness Center.

We primarily offer fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm, which consist mainly of hyaluronic acid.


We can also order any other filler on request, such as Sculptra, Radiesse, Perlane, Prevelle Silk, Evolence, or Artefill.

Dermal fillers
work differently than treatments like Botox or Dysport to lessen the appearance of aging. Rather than relaxing the muscles that create wrinkles, fillers like Restylane and Juvederm fill in areas to offset the loss of collagen and elastin in the facial tissues that occur over time.

Injectable fillers are usually injected into the nasolabial folds (aka smile lines), marionette lines (which extend from the corner of the mouth down), perioral vertical lines, on the border of the lips, or to plump them up, when injected, creates a smooth and natural look for patients without any noticeable scars or bruises.

No one will know you’ve had the treatment. You'll just get compliments on how great you look!

Unlike Botox, which can take a week or two to show its full results, the end result of Juvederm and Restylane injections are seen instantly. Read more about Botox here, as we've blogged about it previously.

Juvederm and Restylane can last up to one year.

A wide range of patients request cosmetic fillers, although most of Dr. Motamedy’s medical spa patients are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s.

Injectable fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can also be used in conjunction with Botox injections for forehead wrinkles to make a liquid facelift, which can transform a patient's face in a mere half hour appointment.

Botox is our most popular procedure in Houston

Here at Marshall Back and Body Wellness Center in Houston, Texas, we're pleased to report that the most popular minimally invasive procedure at our Houston facility is Botox, an injectable wrinkle-reducing treatment made by Allergan.


Patients of all ages have various reasons for looking into Botox.

In addition to easing wrinkles temporarily, Botox can also be used to raise eyebrows in a natural way, helping to reshape a patient's face to give them a more youthful, alert looking appearance.

We've seen a rise recently in patients coming to Marshall Back and Body Wellness Center to prepare for summer vacations and events, and want to look their best.

Some of our patients in the Houston-area medical spa also seek Botox for the condition hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, for areas such as the palms of the hands, armpits, and feet.

Botox was approved by the FDA for cosmetic purposes in 2002 and causes little to no discomfort, and is performed with no downtime in as little as 15 minutes, with a miniscule chance of complications.

The effects of Botox last for approximately 3 months, which can increase after repeated injections.
