Types of Injectable Aesthetic Medicine
Botox injection
Botox neurotoxin injections induce temporary relaxation of the muscles, which helps to soften unattractive animation lines and minimize any depressive or “pulled-down” appearance. Botox produces a temporary, localized blockage of muscle contraction function, smoothing out any fine lines or wrinkles triggered by the muscle. Preventative Botox is used by those in their 20s and 30s to counteract wrinkles and fine lines from developing or injected during the initial stages of fine lines and wrinkles to minimize them.
Filler injection
Hyaluronic acid filler injections can make you appear many years younger and improve the appearance of your facial features by adding volume. Fillers assist in facial contour augmentation, lip enhancement, volume addition, and reduction of wrinkles.
Filler injections can make you appear many years younger and improve the appearance of your facial features by adding volume. It is a comparatively affordable treatment option that is non-invasive and provides long-lasting, natural results.
Recommended Sessions
Patients generally return for repeat Botox treatments every 4 to 6 months or 2-3 times per year.
The results of dermal filler injections generally last for about 6-9 months, with some people having effects lasting up to a year.
Anticipated Results
The full effect of the Botox injection occurs up to 2 weeks later, and most patients begin to see a significant softening and smoothing out of their undesirable lines and wrinkles and significant elevation of the overlying soft tissue 1 week after Botox injection.
Most patients can expect to return to work the next day after treatment. However, depending on the amount of dermal fillers used, some individuals may experience more swelling than expected.
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat following your treatment to speed up the healing process and minimize the risk of inflammation.
Side Effects
Most patients do not experience any side effects after Botox and filler injections.
Potential risks are:
- Pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
- Headache or flu-like symptoms
- Droopy eyelid or uneven brows
- Crooked smile or drooling
- Eye dryness or excessive tearing
Gently icing the injection area immediately after the injection will help minimize any swelling or bruising you may experience.
