MicroBotox and Dermal Fillers in Santa Monica | Beverly Hills
Although Botox neuromodulator injections are the gold standard to treat dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, there are definitely other methods to give you a natural-looking result with minimal Botox concentrations. In our Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, plastic surgery practice, we have a board-certified dermatologist and a board-certified plastic surgeon who specialize in Microtox treatments to help improve fine lines, crepey skin, enlarged pores, and skin inflammation. These small microbotox injections and micro needling treatments can help refine skin texture and soften lines associated with collagen loss on the face and neck.
What is Microtox in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills?
Our center specializes in wrinkle treatments with Botox and Xeomin injections that are precisely placed into dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, between the brows, and along the forehead. Some patients request a more natural approach that uses hyper diluted neuromodulator injections (Botox) that are placed superficially into the skin, using a laser assisted approach or micro needling. This technique can be utilized with exosomes and polynucleotides to address, skin inflammation, fine lines, and large pores.
Our goal is to reduce very fine wrinkles, oily skin, large pores, college, and associated skin, laxity, and excess sebum production. Our specialist begin by examining your skin to determine the exact severity of skin inflammation, and large pores; followed by micro, needling, or laser, assisted delivery of Exosomes and Microtox into the skin. The laser or microneedling treatment cause collagen induction and the micro Botox serum further delivers these neuromodulators deep within the dermis of the skin.
Because the Microtox is delivered to the deep dermis, the results typically last between 8 to 12 weeks as it is a more superficial treatment than muscular injections of neuromodulators. Our goal is to refine your skin and stimulate bio rejuvenation by complementing collagen induction therapy to reduce inflammation, treat fine lines, and build collagen.

Dr. Karamanoukian can help you tailor a specific treatment protocol for your specific skin color, facial features, and aesthetic desires.
Dermal Fillers for Facial Volume in Santa Monica
Facial harmony is defined by proportion, balance, and the subtle interplay of volume between anatomic regions. As we age, the face undergoes progressive loss of subcutaneous fat, bone resorption, and soft tissue descent — changes that flatten the midface, hollow the cheeks, and deflate the lips. At Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian restores and enhances facial volume with unparalleled precision using premium hyaluronic acid fillers, applying twenty years of expertise in facial anatomy to deliver results that are natural, balanced, and beautifully proportioned.
Cheek Dermal Fillers — Midface Volumization and Contouring
The cheeks are the structural foundation of the midface, and their volume and projection directly influence the appearance of the entire face. Dr. Karamanoukian approaches cheek augmentation as an anatomically driven procedure, carefully evaluating each patient's unique facial architecture before designing a personalized volumization strategy. The midface is composed of several distinct anatomic units — the malar eminence, the submalar triangle, and the anterior cheek fat compartments — each of which contributes differently to overall facial fullness and contour.
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Lyft are the preferred agents for cheek augmentation due to their robust lifting capacity, smooth integration into deep tissue planes, and long-lasting volumizing effect. Dr. Karamanoukian places filler with meticulous precision at the level of the periosteum along the malar eminence to restore skeletal projection, while softer deposits in the anterior and medial fat compartments recreate the natural fullness of youth. This layered, anatomic approach lifts the midface, softens nasolabial folds, and restores the convex cheek contour that defines a youthful facial profile — without an overdone or artificial appearance.
Lip Fillers — Anatomic Precision and Natural Enhancement
The lips are among the most expressive and aesthetically complex structures on the face, and their enhancement demands a thorough understanding of lip anatomy and facial proportion. Dr. Karamanoukian evaluates the lips within the context of the entire lower face, assessing the ratio of upper to lower lip volume, the definition of the vermilion border, the projection of the Cupid's bow, the depth of the philtral columns, and the degree of lip eversion before designing each treatment.
Hyaluronic acid fillers including Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Volbella, and Restylane Kysse are selected based on the specific structural goals of each patient. Precise microdroplet injections along the vermilion border sharpen lip definition and restore the natural demarcation between the lip and surrounding skin. Volume is added to the body of the upper and lower lips in carefully calibrated amounts that respect the natural one-to-one-and-a-half ratio of upper to lower lip fullness. Targeted treatment of the philtral columns enhances Cupid's bow definition and restores the subtle architectural detail that characterizes naturally beautiful lips.
Non-surgical Temple Dermal Fillers
Temple hollowing is one of the earliest and most overlooked signs of facial aging, creating a gaunt, skeletonized appearance that affects overall facial harmony and balance. Restoring volume to the temporal fossa with precisely placed Radiesse biostimulatory filler or Juvederm hyaluronic acid filler can dramatically rejuvenate the upper face, soften the transition between the forehead and cheekbone, and restore the smooth, convex contour of youthful facial anatomy.
Experience and Artistry at Kare Plastic Surgery
What distinguishes Dr. Karamanoukian's approach to cheek and lip filler is not simply technical skill — it is the integration of surgical anatomy, artistic sensibility, and two decades of experience treating the full spectrum of facial aging. Every injection is placed with intention, guided by a deep understanding of how volume interacts with light, shadow, and facial movement. Patients at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica consistently achieve results that enhance their natural features rather than alter them.
