Everything You Need To Know About Cosmetic Injectables
Cosmetic injectables are a tried and true anti-aging treatment. It involves injecting a substance under your skin to change your appearance, more notably to reduce the the appearance of wrinkles or to add more volume to areas that require it.
Cosmetic Injectable Basics
Injectables - Botox
Injectables - Fillers
Which One Do I Need?
Each type of cosmetic injectable treatment is tailored just for you
There is no cookie cutter treatment
Each case is different. That means that the severity of frown lines, wrinkles, or loss of volume is different per person. That also means that each patient will have to be diagnosed and analyzed differently according to the results they want to achieve. Keep in mind that desired results have to be realistic. A subtle and natural look is better than any other type of result, which is what our medical providers always aspire for.
A Combination of Botox AND Fillers
The best way to achieve optimal results is usually to use both Botox and a type of filler in tandem with each other. The Botox treatment would relax the muscles to help minimize the formation of further lines and wrinkles, while the the fillers would help create the volume and fill in the wrinkles.
Trusting Your Provider
Your dermatological provider will know what’s best for you to achieve the results you want. Social media and the internet would want to tell you otherwise, but a certified provider like our staff will know exactly what type of injectables you would need to achieve your optimal appearance. Keep in mind that they are trained to administer these treatments and have the knowledge and expertise to help you achieve your goal.

The Results

Like with any skincare treatment, it’s important to think about achievable results first and foremost. Most realistic results will look subtle and natural when done correctly. Also like with many skincare treatments, cosmetic injectables carry some risks but they are minimal.
While injectable treatments are very effective, they are also temporary and will eventually fade. Results for fillers can last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the skill of your provider and the severity of the condition of the wrinkles and fine lines.
There is virtually no downtime for cosmetic injectables, and results can be seen almost immediately. Your provider can however recommend further treatments to supplement initial results.
