Injectables

Injectable treatments are non-surgical procedures that use substances like botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial features.

Yes, when administered by trained professionals, injectable treatments are generally safe. It’s essential to choose a reputable clinic with experienced practitioners.

The duration varies by treatment:

• • Botox/Dysport/Jeuveau: 3–6 months
  • Dermal Fillers (e.g., Restylane, Versa): 6–18 months
  • Sculptra: up to 2 years

Most injectable treatments require minimal to no downtime. Some swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days.

Discomfort is usually minimal. Topical numbing agents are often applied to reduce any pain during the procedure.

Botox is a botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles, particularly in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.

Dysport is another botulinum toxin that works similarly to Botox but may spread more evenly across the treatment area, potentially requiring fewer units.

Jeuveau, also known as “Newtox,” is a newer botulinum toxin that offers similar results to Botox and is often used for frown lines and forehead wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Common types include hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane and Versa.

The longevity of dermal fillers varies:

• Restylane: up to 18 months
• Versa: up to 12 months

Dermal fillers can address areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, under-eye hollows, and jawline.

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, leading to natural-looking results over time.

Typically, a series of 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

Results can last over 2 years as Sculptra stimulates long-term collagen production.

Individuals looking to reduce wrinkles, restore facial volume, or enhance facial features without surgery may be suitable candidates. A consultation with a qualified provider is essential.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare when performed by experienced professionals.

Yes, injectables can often be combined with treatments like laser therapy or skin resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Avoid blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Avoid massaging the treated areas, strenuous exercise, and excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
