Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and plump areas of the face. They can treat lines, creases, and add fullness to lips and cheeks.

Neurotoxins like Botox® temporarily relax muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They are often used in the upper face to treat frown lines and crow's feet.

When administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional, cosmetic injectables are generally safe. However, they can have side effects and risks, so it's crucial to have them administered by a licensed practitioner.

Most injectables are minimally painful and well-tolerated. Some may cause slight discomfort or a mild stinging sensation, but this is typically brief. Practitioners can use numbing agents to enhance comfort.

The duration of results varies depending on the type of injectable used. Dermal fillers can last from several months to over a year, while neurotoxins like Botox® generally last around 3-4 months.

Common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare but can occur, so it's essential to discuss potential risks with your practitioner.

Results are typically noticeable within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the product used. Dermal fillers often provide immediate results, while neurotoxins may take a few days.

Cosmetic injectables can benefit a wide range of individuals, but it's essential to have a consultation with a qualified practitioner to determine if you are a good candidate based on your unique goals and medical history.

The cost of cosmetic injectables varies depending on the type of treatment, the product used, and the geographic location of the practice. Prices can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per treatment.

It's best to discuss costs with your chosen provider during a consultation.
