Injectable treatments at Desert Sands — Botox, Dysport, Juvéderm, Restylane, Sculptra, KYBELLA, and PDO threads — are performed by Shannon Evans, RN, BSN, a registered nurse with thirty years of clinical experience and a conservative, results-first approach.
Injectable treatments address the full spectrum of facial aging — from dynamic expression lines treated with neuromodulators like Botox, to volume loss restored with hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm, to collagen rebuilding through Sculptra, to permanent submental fat elimination with KYBELLA. Shannon Evans performs all injectable treatments at Desert Sands. She doses conservatively, never over-treats, and builds every plan around the individual's anatomy and long-term goals. All programs are overseen by medical director Dr. Eric Evans, MD.
FDA-approved neuromodulators for forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, brow lifting, and facial contouring. Subtle, natural-looking results that last three to four months.
View ServiceHyaluronic acid dermal fillers for lip augmentation, cheek volume, nasolabial folds, tear troughs, and jawline definition. Reversible with immediate results.
View ServiceCollagen-stimulating injectables for deep facial volume loss. Results build gradually over months and last up to two years — unlike HA fillers.
View ServiceThe only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin. No surgery, no anesthesia, no incisions — lasting results from a series of in-office injections.
View ServiceDissolvable threads that lift and tighten sagging skin while stimulating collagen production — a non-surgical lifting treatment with results lasting up to two years.
View ServiceFor patients wanting deep structural tightening alongside injectables — Profound Lift rebuilds collagen and elastin at depth for results neither filler nor Botox can achieve alone.
View ServiceShannon Evans is known throughout Southern Utah for one thing above all others: she will not over-treat you. Every injectable plan at Desert Sands begins with an honest assessment of what will genuinely improve your appearance — not what will produce the largest treatment ticket. Shannon doses conservatively, works with your natural anatomy, and tells patients plainly when a treatment is not right for them.
"My goal is always for you to look like the best version of yourself — never like you've had work done." — Shannon Evans, RN, BSN
Relax dynamic expression muscles to soften lines and wrinkles. Shannon's conservative technique preserves natural movement and expression — you'll look refreshed, never frozen.
Restore lost volume and define facial contours. Shannon works with your anatomy to add only what is needed — choosing formulations matched to each specific area and concern.
For patients with deeper volume loss or structural laxity, collagen stimulators rebuild from within — producing gradual, long-lasting results that outlast HA fillers by years.
The best outcomes combine modalities. Shannon builds comprehensive treatment plans pairing injectables with laser resurfacing, skin tightening, and skincare to address every layer of aging.
Injectables address volume and movement. PRX-T33 AquaGold addresses the surface — stimulating collagen, improving skin quality, and delivering active ingredients directly where they matter most. Together, they form a complete year-round approach that prevents signs of aging before they take hold and maintains the results you've already invested in.
Our highly trained medical providers combine these treatments into seamless, personalized plans. Whether you're maintaining Botox results between appointments, enhancing filler with improved skin texture, or simply keeping your skin in its best possible condition, this pairing gives you visible, lasting improvement — without downtime, without looking overdone.
