What Can Injectables Do For Me

Injectables, or cosmetic injectables, are among the most popular facial rejuvenation treatments across the country because they help you look and feel more vibrant and rejuvenated in as little as 30 minutes without the downtime and risks of surgery.

Did you know that injectables can shave years off your appearance by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, restore lost volume in your cheeks, accentuate small lips, and define your jawline.

If you’re wondering if cosmetic injectable are right for you, you’re in the right place.

How Cosmetic Injectables Work

When you hear injectable, you probably think of Botox, one of the many products used to reduce and soften fine lines and wrinkles.

There are 3 ways to reduce wrinkles or smooth the skin on the face using injectables.

The first is using a neuro modulator, or a substance that reduces movement to the area where wrinkles form. Botox and Dysport are popular examples of this type of injectable.

The second way is by injecting a dermal filler directly under a wrinkle to smooth it out.

And the third, is using a dermal filler to add or restore volume and smooth out wrinkles in the surrounding area.

Dermal fillers come a number of different compositions to address and are used in different areas of the face.

Most dermal fillers use a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid which restores hydration to the skin. Dermal fillers also help restore volume and fill deep lines. Some other dermal fillers can contour areas of your face, including your chin and jawline.

Best of all, injectables are minimally invasive treatments that provide significant, sometimes immediate results without downtime.

Benefits of Cosmetic Injections

One of the main reasons people love injectables is how quickly they can see visible results, often without downtime.

In less than 30 minutes, you can smooth lines and wrinkles, plump lips, and lift your cheeks. The results from injectables last anywhere from three months to over a 18 months.

Different types of injectables are required depending on the area of your face that you’re looking to target.

Consult with your aesthetic doctor or injector to determine which one is best for your particular situation.

What Injectables CANNOT Do

Although some injectables hydrate the skin, they do NOT improve the molecular structure of the skin.

While injectables offer many incredible anti-aging benefits, they are NOT meant to improve skin tone, reduce redness, reduce acne, and exfoliate.

To treat these additional types of skin issues, talk to your esthetician or aesthetic doctor. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation options to improve skin health include facials and peels, HydraFacials and dermaplaning.

What Are the Side Effects

Like any other wrinkle treatment, there are potential side effects when using cosmetic injections.

Side effects are generally minimal and short-lived. These typically include:

• Redness and slight swelling at the injection site. Significant swelling may occur on the lips
• Bruising
• Minor discomfort in the days after treatment
