How It Works
Purpose: Designed to temporarily improve facial aesthetics by reducing wrinkles, restoring lost volume, and enhancing facial features.
Mechanism: Cosmetic injectables, such as Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers, and lip fillers, work by either relaxing targeted facial muscles (Botox) or adding volume and structure (Fillers) to specific areas.
Common Areas Treated: Forehead lines, crow's feet, cheeks, lips, and jawline.
What to Expect
Procedure Time: Typically 15–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Pain Level: Minimal; numbing agents may be applied for enhanced comfort.
Downtime: Minimal to none; slight swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly.
Results: Results from Botox may appear in 3–7 days, while filler results are often immediate. Effects typically last 3–18 months, depending on the product and individual factors.

How Botox Cosmetic Work?
Purpose: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting.
