Injectables
Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, dermal filler and PDRN — placed by board-certified nurse practitioners, three floors above King Street.
Injectables are non-surgical treatments delivered by fine needle. At The Society of Preservation they fall into three groups: neurotoxin relaxes the muscles that fold skin, dermal filler restores volume and structure, and PDRN improves the quality of the skin itself. Every plan is built and administered by a board-certified nurse practitioner in downtown Charleston.
Three tools — and the judgement to know which you need.
Most patients arrive asking for a product. We start somewhere else: what is actually happening to your face. Lines from movement, volume that has quietly left the midface, and skin that has taken twenty Charleston summers are three different problems, and the wrong tool applied generously is exactly how faces start to look done.
So we assess first and inject second. Sometimes the answer is twenty units of neurotoxin and nothing else. Sometimes it is a single syringe placed high in the cheek, and the lines you disliked soften on their own. Occasionally the answer is no injectable at all — a laser or a skincare correction — and we will tell you that plainly.
What we will not do is sell you volume. Charleston is a small city where everyone sees everyone, at Second Sunday and at the Yacht Club, and our reputation lives in work nobody can identify.

Almost every injectable question resolves into one of these four answers. Knowing which you are is most of the work.
It moves
If the line appears when you frown or raise your brows, it is muscular — neurotoxin, placed lightly.
It has fallen
If your cheeks read flatter and the jawline less defined in photographs, that is lost volume — filler, placed high.
It is the skin
Crepey texture, dullness and fine crinkling are quality problems. PDRN, microneedling or laser, not filler.
It is none of these
Sun damage, melasma and laxity do not respond to injectables. We will route you to laser or skincare instead.
Four steps, start to settled.
Consultation
A full facial assessment — movement, proportion, history and photographs — before a single unit is planned.
The plan
Your provider walks you through what she recommends, what she does not, and exactly what it costs.
Treatment
Fifteen to forty-five minutes, ice and a fine needle. Most patients drive themselves home and go back to work.
Two-week review
A complimentary follow-up to assess settling and refine. Included with every first treatment.
Under-treat, then refine.
Every first treatment is dosed conservatively and reviewed at two weeks. It costs you one extra visit and saves you three months of looking treated.
Thirty units a month, included.
Members choose one signature treatment each month — 30 units of neurotoxin, or $500 off a syringe of filler, is one of them. Founding memberships are $359.
Frequently asked.
What injectables do you offer in Charleston?
{{ s0 }}The Society of Preservation offers neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport and Daxxify), dermal filler, PDRN skin regeneration, and vitamin and B12 shots. All are administered by board-certified nurse practitioners at 263 King Street in downtown Charleston.
Do I need filler or Botox?
{{ s1 }}Neurotoxin softens lines created by muscle movement, such as the forehead and between the brows. Filler restores volume and structure that has been lost, such as cheeks and jawline. Many patients need a small amount of each, and your provider will tell you honestly if you need neither.
How much do injectables cost in Charleston?
{{ s2 }}Neurotoxin is priced per unit and filler per syringe, and both are quoted precisely at your complimentary consultation before treatment. Society Circle members receive 30 units of neurotoxin or $500 off a syringe of filler each month.
Is there any downtime?
{{ s3 }}Neurotoxin has no downtime. Filler can cause mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours and occasional bruising for three to seven days. Most patients return to work the same day.
Who performs the injections?
{{ s4 }}Every injection is performed by a board-certified nurse practitioner — Casey Bourque, NP or Olivia Mascitti, NP — under the oversight of our medical director, Dr. John Wang. We never delegate injecting to non-medical staff.
How far ahead should I book before an event?
{{ s5 }}Three to four weeks. That allows neurotoxin to fully settle, filler swelling to resolve, and time for a review appointment if anything needs refining.
