Injectables - Cosmetic
Have you ever heard of cosmetic injectables (neuromodulator) treatments? They’re a popular way to help reduce wrinkles and make skin look smoother.
Here are the most popular treatment areas:
1. Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
2. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called "11 lines."
3. Crow’s Feet: Wrinkles that form at the outer corners of the eyes when you smile or squint.
4. Bunny Lines: Small wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear when you scrunch your nose.
5. Lip Lines (Smoker’s Lines): Vertical lines around the lips, often caused by puckering or smoking.
6. Chin Dimpling: Wrinkles or dimples on the chin that appear when you move your mouth.
7. Neck Bands: Vertical cords or bands that form on the neck as you age.
About Injectables - Cosmetic
What is Cosmetic Injectables
Cosmetic injectables (neuromodulators) are special injections that help relax muscles in your face. The most well-known brand is Botox, but there are others like Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin and Daxxify. These treatments are used to soften wrinkles, especially on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines). These treatments are administered by licensed professionals and are intended for aesthetic improvements.
How It Works
When you make facial expressions (like smiling or frowning), your muscles move, and over time, this can cause wrinkles. Neuromodulators work by temporarily blocking the signals between your nerves and muscles. This relaxes the muscles, so they don’t move as much, and your skin looks smoother.
The treatment is done with a very thin needle, and it only takes a few minutes. You might feel a tiny pinch, but it’s usually not very painful.
What to Expect
Before the Treatment:
- You’ll meet with a doctor or trained professional to talk about your goals and where you want the injections.
- They’ll clean your skin and might use a numbing cream to make it more comfortable.
During the Treatment:
- The injections are quick, and you can go back to your normal activities right after.
- You might see some redness or swelling, but it usually goes away in a few hours.
After the Treatment:
It takes a few days to see results, and the full effect usually shows up in about 1-2 weeks.
The results last around 3-6 months, and then you’ll need another treatment if you want to maintain the look.
Is It Safe?
Cosmetic neuromodulators are considered safe when done by a trained professional. Some people might have mild side effects like bruising, headaches, or temporary drooping, but these are rare and usually go away quickly.
Who Can Receive Cosmetic Injectable Treatments?
Good Candidates for Cosmetic Injectables
Adults with Visible Signs of Aging:
- People who have wrinkles, fine lines, or volume loss in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, or lips.
- Common concerns include crow’s feet, frown lines, or thinning lips.
Healthy Individuals:
- Those in good overall health without serious medical conditions that could affect healing or increase risks.
Adults Over 18:
- Most providers recommend waiting until at least 18, as younger skin may not need these treatments.
Who Should Avoid Cosmetic Injectables?
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women:
- The effects of injectables on unborn babies or nursing infants are not well studied, so it’s best to avoid them during this time.
People with Certain Medical Conditions:
- Neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis, ALS).
- Bleeding disorders or those taking blood thinners (increased risk of bruising).
- Allergies to ingredients in the injectables (e.g., lidocaine or botulinum toxin).
Individuals with Active Skin Infections or Inflammation:
