Injectables are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin, combat the signs of aging, and enhance one's natural beauty. They offer quick procedures with minimal downtime and can target concerns such as wrinkles, volume loss, and skin laxity.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is a modern neurotoxin injectable, also known as #NEWTOX. It is designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles, particularly those that appear between the eyebrows, known as frown lines.
What to expect:
Before treatment: To prepare for Jeuveau treatment, avoid medications that can cause bruising or bleeding. Make sure to communicate your expectations and any concerns with your clinician during your consultation.
During treatment: The procedure is quick and easy, taking only 10 to 20 minutes. Using a very fine needle, Jeuveau is injected into the specific muscles that cause frown lines.
After treatment: You may experience some minimal discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Avoid rubbing the treated area to prevent the solution from spreading to other muscles.
Botox
Botox is a highly popular injectable treatment that uses a form of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze muscle activity, effectively smoothing out lines and wrinkles for a fresher, more youthful appearance.
What to expect:
Before treatment: Botox requires little to no preparation. Similar to Jeuveau, it's recommended to avoid medications that can cause bruising or bleeding.
During treatment: A thin needle injects a small amount of Botox into specific muscles. The treatment usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
After treatment: Possible side effects include temporary bruising and mild discomfort at the injection site. It's important to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few hours post-treatment and to stay upright for at least four hours.
PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses the patient's own blood to stimulate natural growth factors and improve skin quality. It's often used for facial rejuvenation and can also promote hair growth in individuals with thinning hair.
What to expect:
Before treatment: PRP requires the patient to be in good health. A few days before the procedure, you should stop taking any non-essential medications or supplements that can increase bleeding.
During treatment: A small amount of your blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This PRP is then re-injected into the targeted areas.
After treatment: Mild swelling, bruising, or redness may be experienced, but these side effects typically subside within one to three days. Avoid intense physical activity for at least 72 hours after treatment.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. They offer immediate results and can last from six months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
What to expect:
Before treatment: Similar to other treatments, avoiding medications that can cause bruising or bleeding is advised. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
During treatment: The filler is injected into the targeted areas. This process can take anywhere between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
After treatment: Common side effects include swelling, redness, and tenderness, which should subside within a few days. To minimize swelling, avoid intense physical activity for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
