Injectables & Thread Lifts
Dr. Viral Desai
I use injectables and thread lifts to smooth lines, restore facial volume, and lift sagging skin with results that look natural and need little recovery time.
Pricing Guide
Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox/Neuromodulators)
Procedure Essentials
- Detailed Facial Mapping: Pre-injection marking of facial muscles to ensure symmetry and avoid eyelid drooping.
- The Neuromodulator: FDA-approved Botulinum Toxin Type A (Brand selected during consultation, typically Stunnox, Botox, or Dysport).
- Cold Chain Integrity: Guarantee that the toxin has been stored at the correct temperature for maximum potency.
- Pain Management: Application of high-strength topical anesthetic cream 20-30 minutes prior to injection.
- Consumables: Single-use, ultra-fine gauge insulin needles (31G/32G) for near-painless insertion and sterile medical gloves.
Expertise & Safety
- Injector Expert: Administration by Dr. Desai or senior trained associates focusing on dosage calculation for movement retention.
- Natural Result Guarantee: Techniques used to soften lines while keeping expression to avoid the plastic look.
- Post-Care: Application of antibiotic cream or Arnigel immediately post-procedure to prevent bruising.
Clinic Experience
- Setting: Procedure performed in a sanitized, minor-procedure room.
- Documentation: Pre and post-procedure photography for medical records.
Premium Dermal Fillers (Volume & Contouring)
Core Treatment
- Premium Filler Product: 1ml pre-filled syringe of top-tier Hyaluronic Acid filler (Teoxane RHA series, Juvederm, or Restylane) tailored to the specific density needed.
- Cannula Technique: Use of a sterile, blunt-tip micro-cannula instead of sharp needles for 90% of the work to drastically reduce bruising and vascular risk.
- Anesthesia: Dental nerve block for lip fillers or strong topical numbing cream for other areas.
Safety & Protocol
- Vascular Mapping: Assessment of facial arteries to prevent vascular occlusion.
- Safety Net: Immediate availability of Hyaluronidase (dissolving agent) on-site for emergencies.
- Molding & Massage: Post-injection manual sculpting by the surgeon to ensure smooth integration of the gel.
Post-Procedure
- Recovery: Ice pack application immediately after procedure.
- Review: A quick touch-up review check (usually 2 weeks later) to ensure symmetry once swelling settles.
Aptos Non-Surgical Thread Lift
Surgical-Grade Setup
- The Thread: Genuine Aptos Threads (Polylactic acid/Caprolactone) with multidirectional barbs for heavy-duty lifting.
- Local Anesthesia: Infiltration of Lignocaine with Adrenaline along the thread vector to numb the entire path.
- Sterile Field: Full surgical draping of the face and hair with surgeon in sterile gown and gloves.
Procedure Specifics
- Vector Planning: Strategic marking of entry and exit points to maximize the V-Shape lift and jawline definition.
- Entry Point Creation: Use of a pilot needle to create the insertion point (no cuts, no stitches required).
- Thread Deployment: Insertion and tightening of the threads to physically lift the SMAS layer and sagging skin.
Recovery & Meds
- Post-Op Dressing: Application of antibiotic ointment and micropore tape to secure the lift for the first 24-48 hours.
- Prescription: Guidance on antibiotics and painkillers.
- Follow-up: Removal of any dimpling or puckering adjustments if needed within 7 days.
About Injectables & Thread Lifts
I see injectables and thread lifts as a mix of art and science. My approach is simple: enhance what’s already there, don’t change who you are. Most people worry about looking “overdone” or fake. I get that. My mantra is “less is more” - the goal is for you to look refreshed, not like you’ve had work done.
What I Offer
- Botox: Smooths out lines like crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. Quick, safe, and you can get back to your day right after. No frozen faces here - you’ll still look like you, just a bit more rested.
- Dermal Fillers: Mostly hyaluronic acid facial fillers to restore lost volume, contour the jawline, and give lips a subtle boost. Results are instant and reversible if needed. Think non-surgical jawline contouring, not puffed-up cheeks.
- Thread Lifts: For those wanting a gentle lift without surgery. Fine threads lift sagging skin on the jawline, cheeks, or neck. You get an instant lift and, over time, firmer skin as your body makes more collagen. Minimally invasive facelift alternatives for when you’re not ready for the knife.
Why My Experience Matters
Injectables aren’t just about the needle. It’s about knowing facial anatomy and what looks natural. I spend a lot of time teaching other doctors across India and abroad, so I stay sharp and up-to-date. Safety and subtlety always come first.
The Real “Side Effect”
Honestly, the best part? The compliments and that jhakaas (awesome) feeling when you see yourself in the mirror. That’s what I aim for every time.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Viral Desai. Been everywhere, Mumbai to Cape Town, but teaching and learning is my real travel. Awards are nice – ET Now, IMCAS board, all that jazz – but nothing beats moderating for my guru Dr. Woffles Wu. I’m all about anatomy, not just trends. Whether I’m showing a live hair transplant or training young docs, it’s about safe, smart work. We grow together, that’s how the field moves.
My Work
All-in-one Aesthetic Solutions - Hair restoration (like exosome hair therapy, PRP), body contouring, facial tweaks, breast work, skin glow-ups, endoscopic plastic surgery.
Precision & Safety First - I plan every step around your anatomy, use low-trauma methods. No fake-looking stuff, just smart technique.
Natural Confidence, Not Drastic Change - Botox, fillers, threads – it’s about natural facial harmonization. You look refreshed, not different.
The 'Jhakaas' Effect - Side effect? Too much confidence boost, too many compliments. That’s the vibe when you invest in yourself.
