Skin Injectables:
Are They Right for You?

inevitable has happened.

And like millions of other people who have used anti wrinkle

treatments, you consider using Skin Injectables to improve your appearance

Those fine lines and wrinkles on your forehead now seem

really deep. The Crows’ feet around your eyes are now

visible even when you’re not smiling, and the puckered

lines around your lips look worse than ever.

Your cheeks are beginning to sag and you notice that your

whole face is beginning to look tired and hollow.

And you feel that now you want to do something about

it.

What is A Skin Injectable?

Skin Injectables can be used for people who are just

beginning to show signs of facial aging, but do not

want to use Cosmetic Surgery to enhance their

appearance. A decision not to have Cosmetic Surgery

could also be affected by a cost or time element. And

for these people, the wide selection of Injectables on

the market is preferable to having Cosmetic Surgery.

The benefits of Injectables include:

i)Being able to have the treatment in 1 or 2 visits –

many treatments are now marketed as ‘lunchtime

appointments’, suggesting that treatment is quick and

simple.

ii)The Injectable is normally administered through a

small gauge needle. So discomfort is minimal and no

anaesthetic may be necessary. (However, with some

treatments, a topical anaesthetic may be necessary – it

may all depend on the sensitivity of the area being

treated and what the patient prefers.

iii)Results tend to be fairly instant with minimal

bruising, redness or swelling.

The disadvantages of Injectables include:

i)Having repeat treatment every several months in order

to maintain the visual benefits.

ii)The cost implications of repeated treatments.

Which Skin Injectable is Right For Me?

The Cosmetic Industry Market has many brand names of

Skin Injectables available for use. They tend to fall

into 2 groups:

A.Line and Wrinkle Correctors.

These are used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

B.Facial Fillers.

These are used to add shape and volume to the face. They can also

be use to restore structure. I’ve put together a Skin Injectables List

and information relating to them.

Remember to always take advice from your Skin Specialist.
