Cosmetic injectables are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures available. They can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, volume loss, and facial asymmetry.
There are two main types of cosmetic injectables: neuromodulators and dermal fillers.
Neuromodulators (such as Botox and Xeomin) work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. This can help to smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in the forehead, brow, and around the eyes.
Dermal fillers are used to add volume to the face, restoring fullness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Fillers are made from a variety of materials, including hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and polymethylmethacrylate.
If you're considering cosmetic injectables, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Choose a qualified injector. It's important to have your injections performed by a qualified medical professional, such as a Oral & Facial Surgeon, dermatologist or plastic surgeon. This will help to ensure that the procedure is safe and that you get the best possible results.
Start small. It's always better to start with a small amount of filler and add more later if needed. This will help you to avoid overcorrection, which can lead to an unnatural appearance.
Be realistic. Cosmetic injectables can't stop the aging process, but they can help to improve your appearance and make you look more youthful. It's important to have realistic expectations about the results you can achieve.
